Something I've started doing lately, particularly with BB stocks, is put in GTC limit sell orders way above the current price. I am told that by doing this I can prevent my shares being borrowed by potential shorts. If everybody did this together it might cause a short squeeze?

Now I don't even know if this actually works. However, I can't see a downside, except to get filled at some high price!

BTW, if you ask your broker about this you may be told that there is a limit to how high the limit price can be. For example, I was told that if I put a limit price more than 30% higher than the current price it would be rejected. Well, I did this with several stocks over the net, with limit prices between 5 to over 20 times the current price and every one was accepted.
