Interesting. I have never shorted a stock before, but I do know the general idea.

So I would sell "borrowed" shares right now at the current price, then I would have to buy shares in the future, but because my certificate will clear in the future I will just use those, so I don't have any risk really do I? This sounds too good to be true?

Pray to dog that the price doesn't go up in the mean time.

Also I think you need some decent holdings to get an account you can short stuff with, 40k in liquidish assets IIRC. Your broker can help you figure that out.
