When you short a stock, you are borrowing it in exchange for an IOU. You are betting that it will go down, so that you can BUY the shares back and settle your short for a profit. If it goes up, you will eventually be forced to buy the shares at a loss in what's known as a margin call. That's where the buying in (c) is coming from.
Yes, I know how to short.
No, I was referring to a post on Reddit where some dumbass said there were twice the number of longs becuse of the shorts, and THAT is why he/she/it thinks the split/dividend will destroy the shorts.
Makes no sense, and I was pointing out that some people (at least) on Reddit are saying really stupid things.
