One of the messages that Mr Jacobs is sending is about confounding shorts. I believe if you register your shares, they cannot be leveraged for shorting. I really don't understand how this works, but it seems to me that I've seen other threads attempt short squeezes by having thread participants register their shares.
By the following data, It would appear that a significant short was placed on 2/17. I suggest all reread Mr Jacobs note and register your shares. I plan to tomorrow.
