    So a shorter borrows 10c of stock from an entity to sell.

    Entity: -10c (debit)
    Shorter: +10c (credit)

    6 months go by, stock now worth 3c.. and entity agrre to buy it back from the shorter at 3c.

    Entity: -13c total
    Shorter: +7c total

    Who is "the entity" and why would they ever take the risk on speculatives when such stocks normally do go down?
