Stopping shorters7 Feb 2025 09:51
Stopping 'shorters' - SpicyTuna, am i right in thinking that there are steps an individual investor can take with his broker to prevent that broker from 'loaning' out that investors shares to shorters (who then effectively use those 'loaned' shares against the interests of their real owner)? Is it something like putting on an ongoing 'Sell' order at a vastly increased price (double?) to the rate current at the time? And the shares, once under a 'sell' order, cannot then be 'loaned' to shorters?
