I'm kinda surpised Sujeet can do that because you have to have $300K annual income or have to be a professional in the area (e.g. trader, analyst, adviser, etc...) to establish a short account.
I'm still not following here. What is meant by "borrowing" a stock? I understand selling high and returning later to buy low, as you end up with more stock for the same money. However, isn't this what everyone is already trying to do? What is the difference?
