    boundless raised an interesting question. Where do they borrow these share from?

    For example, I purchase shares through commsec, does commsec lend my shares to people to short?

    If so, how do I advise commsec NOT to lend my shares to shorters?

    I don't understand who whould lend someone a share knowing they are going to drive the price down????
