I don’t believe in the “lock up your shares” theory, but I’ll go with the “better safe than sorry” and do it too. Per eTrade, every trading platform has their own rules for borrowing shares. E*Trade does not allow borrowing shares put against a purchase, but others do. Each investor should read the fine print on their individual trading platforms, like Ameritrade and others. Some let shorts borrow shares whether they’re locked up or not. They’re not all the same.
