Imagine if I go to a shop and see a big shelf of expensive handbags.

Let's say I look at these handbags for a while and come to believe they're not

worth anything like the price on the label. To me, they look like rubbish

handbags. So I go to the owner of the store and ask him, for a small fee, to

borrow these handbags for a week. Then I take the bags out of the store and

sell them to a trader for a fraction less than the price on the label. He’s happy

- he thinks he can make a profit.

So what's actually happened? I, the short seller, have spotted that

somebody is charging a lot of money for handbags that are rubbish. Next,

I’ve found somebody who is prepared to sell any old rubbish as long as he

thinks there’s something in it for him
