RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Dividends, CEO and BODAside from the broker holdings, there are institutional holdings to draw from. Individual holdings are dust, in comparison.

Thanks
I've heard this myth for over a decade. I would imagine for the few people who try it, it's irrelevant. The bank is making money lending out your shares. Unlikely you will scare them into not making money. They will react when those shares are sold. They're not anticipating limit orders being successful or not. Larger brokers have their own inventory of stocks. A guy posting a few hundred shares at a high limit price doesn't even show up on the radar. If you don't want your shares shorted, get the certificate. The previous poster is working under margin, so most aren't his share to begin with. It's the price you pay for leverage.
