I heard about the 'Stock Lending & Borrowing' (SLB) mechanism which allows to short stock for longer periods from some source so taught of clarifying.
I can lend you half a share of reliance, as we as a syndicate of investors are holding 2 shares.
I am a 25 % holder of that stake. I can lend you half a share.
Subject to sufficient security, and approval from my syndicate.
Please not, we do not deal with retail investors, only VVHNI traders.
Your minimum capital to approach us has to be 2356 rs as per our lending formula.
In even of default, we may take away your cycle, or your bath tub, thereby rendering you unable to take a bath.
In one extreme case, we took away the pillows of a defaulter.
