sonamp on 18 Jul 11A short seller usually borrows through a broker, who is usually holding the securities for another investor who owns the securities; the broker himself never purchases the securities to lend to the short seller.[1] The lender does not lose the right to sell the securities while they have been lent, as the broker will usually hold a immense pool of such securities for a variety of investors which, as such securities are fungible, can in lieu be transferred to any buyer.
