Hi Investor Gadget, I believe your post only provides a partial picture about a broker's ability to short or lend shares for shorting. The description you provided relates to shares acquired via CFDs - if someone buys shares using CFDs they do not own the underlying shares they only have a contract with their broker for the difference in price between when they buy and sell, or sell and buy - the shares that are the subject of the CFD will actually be owned by someone else - either the broker or an entity they have a lending agreement with.
