The challenge & the solution:
In order to prevent the parasitic 'short-sellers' from 'borrowing' your stock from the broker and then (to your significant financial detriment), short-selling it into the 'market' and in so doing, extracting what I firmly believe to be a totally unacceptable, illegitimate and unlawful profit from your holding, shareholders may wish to consider and implement the strategy of simply instructing their respective broker to 'trigger a sell' of all (or part) of their holding at a price at which, they would be happy to divest of their investment (in whole or in-part), of their respective holding in the company. In the case of OXP as an example, I have instructed my broker to divest of my entire holding at 65 pence per share. In so doing, no 'short-seller' is, or will ever, be afforded the opportunity of using my own legitimate holding against my own financial interests. However, If, in the event that the sp rises to a revised figure at which the individual shareholder would be willing to divest, then all that is required is a new instruction to the broker to cancel the previous sell instruction and replace it with a revised figure.
