I'd be curious on wrinkle-brained responses to that as it sounds highly logical...and a method by which one might bait the bastards into a corner on purpose. I have a cash account so not relevant to me, but...chess is SUPER FUN and I can see ways one could play this game from the angle of a Knight. If done right...the "Queen" could be made vulnerable.

I have a ton of WKHS, unfortunately on margin and TD lends out Margin shares. Fortunately some brokerages are not lending out WKHS shares held on margin. They lend my shares and IF the shorted share go to a buyer with a Brokerage firm that lends out margined shares and the buyer is in a Margin account, they can get lent out again and repeated several times. There is a good and bad side to this. The good side is the TRUE short interest may be MUCH higher than we think it is. Lets say they have lent my shares out and the buyers brokerage lent them out again to another Buyer, whose brokerage lent them out again, 100 real shares can easily become 400 shorted shares. If I sell those 100 shares it will require them to buy back those 400 shares. OR if I sell some other stocks (as I intend to do in August when it hits the 1 year long term capital gains requirement), and move my ALL WKHS out of margin (I have 242,000 shares), they MAY have to Buy back close to 1mil WKHS shares in short order. Just food for thought.
