If you short a company, you are less than an owner. You're an anti-owner. You owe Facebook stock.

- benj111 7y agoIf you own facebook shares in a tracker and short Facebook, you are neutral, from a share price exposure point of view. I am still the beneficial owner of the shares within the tracker though, it is still hypothetically possible for me to go to a shareholder meeting and vote with that stock. So although I don't have any financial stake in Facebook, I do have some benefits of ownership.
