Snug asked on the Spider board whether the advice brought forward by X11 would work or not.
From X11 - "... when you have a sell order GTC, short sellers cannot borrow your stocks from your brokers to short sell thus decreasing manipulation."
Below is the reply I posted on Spider
I just contacted Credential Direct and I was told:
"If there is an open sell order against a security, then a broker cannot offer them for loan to a short order."
So, if you want to cause a bit of problems for those shorters out there, put in a sell order for 20-30 times current SP. At least some of the manipulators will have issues with shorting.
Perhaps mentioning this at the AGM may be beneficial?
