You can help stop the shorts
There are two things you can do, the first is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyones advantage but the alternative solution is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double todays 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 dont forget to move your limit order up when the price starts to recover, then, that way your shares cant be shorted
