Rocketman and all,
You posted a couple of days ago saying that E*Trade did not lend out any shares. I have been pinging on them with EMail for the last couple of days...It seems like they didn't want to answer, but they finally did.. Complete correspondence follows::

Dear Mr. Kirkland,
Thank you for choosing E*TRADE.
The only way to prevent your shares from being loaned will be to issue the certificates. While they are being held in your E*Trade account we can not guarantee they will be lent out. If you would like to have these shares issued in certificate form please send your request through the customer service center, located at the bottom of any screen while logged into your account.
If you have additional questions, please refer to the Learning Center, your "how to" resource. Service Requests may be sent through Service Center Express. Please access these online resources 24 Hours a day by clicking on the Customer Service link located at the bottom of the Customer Main menu.
You may also contact us through our homepage at www.etrade.com, or call us at 1-800-786-2575, Monday through Friday, from 8:00am to 12:00 (Midnight) EST and a Customer Service Associate will be happy to assist you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Salas E*TRADE Customer Service -------------------------------------------------- MY SECOND MAIL Case # 980504-1302 You did not even come close to answering my question..

Dear Mr. Kirkland:
Thank you for choosing E*TRADE.
You do not have to worry that your shares will not be there for you when you
are ready to trade them. We hold everything in "street name" and have never
had an issue where the shares were not available for our customer to sell when they chose to. If you want to have a certificate issued we can certainly send one out to you, however, we will need your specific instructions (i.e. how many shares, etc.).
If you have additional questions, please refer to the Learning Center, your "how to" resource. Service Requests may be sent through Service Center Express. Please access these online resources 24 Hours a day by clicking on the Customer Service link located at the bottom of the Customer Main menu.
