I guess shorting is more complicated then I thought, I didn't realize I could have those effects.

My understanding was that a short seller was basicly borrowing someones shares. I'm not sure I know where all the extra shares would come from that are being dumped into the float.

Doesn't the company control how many shares are outstanding?

thanks again for you assistance, beo
