LET US KILL THE SHORTS !!!! I am copying this from a post on TMF. Please guys look at this and do something about it (I am doing it tomorrow) Cor, I agree with your position that people should prevent their brokers from using their shares for shorting.(I don't let my broker use mine). However right now we want people shorting AMD because assuming this thing turns, it will be the shorts that give it a big pop that first day. ted

"you could put a sell order in at 150 and gtc.if price moves up to 120 you could always increase the sell order. if you want to protect your investment this would be a wise decision.it does not cost anything" Uh, no. Putting a gtc sell order will not achieve anything other than tell your broker you want to sell at the set price, no matter how unrealistic. It will not prevent your shares from being loaned. Please stop this myth (which seems to be a staple of every BB stock message board). A large CNC shareholder (Jacobs) just took out ads asking for longs of CNC to call their shares or ask that they not be loaned. It's laughable. It suggests Jacobs has insufficient faith in the very company he has become a stuckholder in (stuckholder, not a typo). Furthermore, even with full page ads being taken out in major newspapers (WSJ, NY Times), it doesn't seem to be having an effect. If such an extravagant effort has little effect, then I doubt some message boards drive will have any better success. My suggestion....don't waste your time. (I'm long AMD but short stocks on a regular basis...including CNC). Chris
