I heard a description of something once where (if you thought a stock was going to go down,) you could basically "borrow" someone else's shares, sell them, then when the price went down buy them back and give the guy the shares back, thus pocketing the difference in what you bought it back for.

Is that just an inaccurate analogy for a Call, or is that something different?
