Jim, You don't have to take physical delivery of the certificates to prevent them from being shorted. Stock in an IRA account or Cash account cannot be borrowed for shorting, only in a margin account, because the stock is technically not yours, because it is put up for collateral.. Also many have a misconception about what a short squeeze is all about. In fact, it occurs when the lender of the shares has to ask them to be returned because of a shortage of shares. The borrower of course, is then FORCED to cover.
