Why would folks that own stock in a company lend those shares in the first place to a party that's planning on shorting the stock? Aren't the shares that the lenders get back after the short expected to be worth so little that their total assets (even with their cut of the shorting party's profit) going to be less than what they started with before lending any shares? Otherwise how would the shorting party make any profit? What am I missing?

Confused as to which is the best long term hold.
