FanClubBoy,
You are correct. On the larger exchanges, your broker must be able to acquire the needed shares in thier inventory or from a network of brokers they are associated with. As you may noticed, or will notice in the future, with some thinly traded issues, the brokers may not have the shares available to short and will decline the order. I had this happen to me with RKY recently through my broker, Scottrade.com.
