    Riddle me this.
    Stockholder AAA loans a million $10 XYZ shares to BBB to short sell and the price of XYZ drops to $3.
    So BBB buys them back for $3 and returns them to AAA.
    Ignoring that BBB will pay some of the profit to AAA as compensation - how does AAA account for the nominal loss of $7m?
    One assumes that AAA is a Fund Manager and should be acting in the best interests of their clients.
