I bought into GME last night through RH but my orders were cancelled this morning.

It's allowed because the physical possessors of the stock being shorted will collect premiums at some point in the process.

You aren't really "borrowing". You are entering a contract that gives you the option to execute a trade at a certain point for a certain price. Until that point happens, you don't "own" the stock at all, you just own the contract that says you can buy X amount of shares at a certain point. You can sell that contract and never buy a single share of actual stock.

Think of it as a kind of "predictive (or speculative) arbitrage".

In that sense though, whoever actually owns the equity...do they have say in what happens with it? For the duration that the stock is shorted, can the actual owner do anything with it? Or are they forced to hold until the contract is expired? Are their time limits for when a short has to be executed in?

You guys, the price has not crashed yet. There is massive pressure pushing in both directions right now. As long as the outstanding shorts exceed 100% of float a squeeze remains likely. This is going to stay super volatile for the next week or so.

No it's pretty clear from mainstream news coverage that this isn't Robinhood looking out for their users' interest. They're covering for the hedge funds who are getting BTFO by a bunch of barbarians instead of their Ivy-league educated, big moneyed competitors.
