Sears Holdings Corp. (fka SHLDQ)

[justthefactsmam]

the comment "Shorts are not shareholders. NADA for them
unless they cover and turn LONG."

suggests a misunderstanding of how shorting sears holdings corp stock "shldq" works.


when one sells short, the short shares sold are borrowed shares from your broker which you do not have in your own account. when you cover your short position, you buy shares on the open market and return them to your broker to cancel the obligation you had to return those borrowed shares.

cancelling your short position does not turn you LONG.
