Robbie and Satyr - Just a quick point. It seems to me that even if you are long this stock and the broker is holding your shares, that shorts can still make money off your shares as the broker is more than happy to lend them to another accountholder that wants to short. Only way to prevent this is to actually take possession of the shares. Not sure how many folks actually do this.
