Except this tends to cause the share price to drop in value, so while Person A had a stock worth $50 he now has a stock which is worth less.JohnG@lt wrote:
Person A is holding a stock they bought at $50. Person B "borrows" the stock, sells it, and rebuys the stock at $47. He then replaces Person A's stock with the shares bought at $47. Person A receives a fee for allowing his stock to be used. Person B gains $3 minus the shorting fee. Everyone makes money in this situation. Person B takes on the risk that the shares will not decrease in price and if that happens he is out whatever the cost increased by plus the fee. Person A simply mitigates the losses he would've taken by holding the stock long term through a dip (or makes a profit if the shorter made the wrong decision). There is a lot of risk involved. It is by no means 'free money'.
In the short term perhaps, but it adds liquidity which tends to make the stock more appealing to investors. That's why a lot of long-term owners are willing to loan out their stocks for shorting - for the good of the company, rather than the fee they get from the shorter.Dilbert_X wrote:

It may not have lost value at all, and probably wouldn't have lost as much if Person B hadn't been dicking around selling a stock he didn't own.
