Here ya go guys. I found another analogy...lol Pretend that you borrowed your neighbor's lawn mower, which your neighbor generously says you may keep for a couple of weeks while he's on vacation. You're thinking of buying a lawn mower anyway, so you've been researching the latest sales, and have seen your neighbor's lawn mower on sale for $300, marked down from $500. While you're mowing your lawn, a passerby stops and offers to buy the lawn mower you're using for $450. You sell him the lawn mower, then go out and buy the same one on sale for $300, and return it to your neighbor when he returns. Only now, you've made a $150 on the deal! Oh well, It was a good try...
No, this guy must have stole it from you, first. Analogy Short Selling has got to be the hardest damn thing to explain to someone who's never heard of it. I've been trying to explain it to my mother for 5 years now, and I still don't think she gets it...lol
