Dear all. I have a query. Suppose i bought some shares of a given stock early in the morning and the ones i got is from the person who short sold it. The person from whom i bought, forgot to square it off on the same day. As a result all his short sold shares went for an auction. Now the next day realizing the share prices went up, i sold these shares from my receivables. But since i wont be getting delivery of those shares, i too wont be able to deliver them. So will my shares also go for an auction? Or things will be settled off between the person i bought from and person i sold to?
