Called my broker yesterday to have my Xylan certificates sent to me [to preclude shorting]

Anthony,

You should ask your broker whether simply moving the shares from your "margin" account (Type 2) into your "cash" account (Type 1) will accomplish the same purpose of precluding the loaning out of these shares (and at at no cost to you). At Fidelity (and I believe all brokerages), when shares are held in a cash account (Type 1) they cannot be loaned to another customer for shorting. (Of course, as the shares are no longer "marginable," you cannot borrow against them.)
