When I was trading on the exchange floor, and I had to hedge my options trades, sometimes I had to sell shares short. My clearing company had to go out and “borrow” those shares. If an issue became unborrowable, your clearing company would be compelled to buy shares in the open market ( in your account), so that they could be returned to the holding company. If we knew the true number of shares that are “short” such stocks like NEM, GG etc., it would blow people away. But that’s part of the coverup.
