I've researched this and tried to understand it. So far what I've gathered, I'm selling someone else's shares that they've bought on credit? Seems crazy... can someone use cows or milk or something simple to break down how this is possible? Lol. I'm open to any and all other barnyard analogies.
It seems to my novice brain that you wouldn't always be able to short any stock you wanted. Do (most) all stocks have shares bought on credit that you can sell?
Sorry for my ignorance, and thank you in advance for your knowledge!
