Protecting shares from being borrowed by shorts

posted on May 18, 2018 11:37AM

I'm seeing a number of shares with an ask around $20. Does that mean they would not be available for a short-seller to borrow?

I wonder if we as retail holders would have any impact if a bunch of us put in asks for way above market. Chances of the order being filled are negligible (at least in the short term) but if it prevents a short-seller from using your shares, it might be a good strategy.
