How to Prevent your Shares from being Shorted# Stock

Interesting message for bulls, but bad news for bears.
All you do is to put an order (GTC order) in saying that you wish to place
all your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double today’s price. As
they are 'on order' they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you
are reducing the amount of 'free shares' out there that can be used for
shorting purposes. And don't forget to move your limit order up when the
price starts to recover, then, that way your shares can't be shorted - not
much but helps
Although an individual personal investor will not normally have enough
shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did
this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their
hands on.
In my opinion well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own
shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share
that you own.
