There's a lot of things that could be done to make it tougher to short stocks.

1. Have criminal penalties available to be used for breaking the nasd and sec rules.

2. make it illegal to trade any U.S. financial security overseas unless they follow all rules of the U'S Markets.

3. have every short sale marked as a short sale when it crosses the ticker, so people know that a sale is a short sale.

4. update all short tallies every night for every stock, so the public always knows what it is.

5. short sales can't be made on margin.

6. keep the downtick rule.

7. have a minimum dollar amount that must be shorted, to try and curtail the multiple 100 share short trades.

8. have the person that is lending the shares be able to negotiate for an interest rate to be paid for loaning the shares.

Shorters create shares, and for that privilige they should be required to operate under stricter rules.
