This discussion has certainly scared the shorts away. (I hear a lot of snoring in the background.)So it's kind of like fractional reserve banking. If i own 1k shares of tsla in my margin account and I'm holding long, and those are lent to people who sell them short, then 700 of 1k of those shares are purchased by people with a margin account, then those 700 can be lent and sold short, another 400 of the 700 are purchased long by someone with a margin account, ect?
