Emerson and others, It is quite effortless to request YOUR certificates. Simply call your broker and inform him you would like to take physical delivery of your shares. The downside, if you want to call it that, is that it usually takes 2-5 weeks to receive your certificate. However, once received you can sell anytime at any brokerage as long as you deliver your certificate(s) within 3 days. Yes, there is usually a fee associated with it, $15-$25, so you may want to make your request(s) when you have a certain number of shares accumulated. I would also like to make mention to everyone that this effort on our part to reduce the number of shares available to the market for legal shorting will require the patience of all involved. Please do not expect results overnight as I will suspect that the legal shorts will attempt to hold the price down as long as they can. And they probably can if they detect a lack of camaraderie among us physical holders. As far as the intrigue of whether or not there is any illegal shorting remains to be seen, but I can exercise this thought without deliberation... the squeeze will be markedly more rapid and intense if there actually is more shares sold then are available for certification. At this time I would like to direct your attention to this link... a fellow shareholder from the MDIN thread. I think it is an excellent post. exchange2000.com I cannot and would never be so inclined to twist the arms of my fellow brothers/sisters, but I have no qualms in at least making a solicitation to all shareholders to carefully consider the possibilities of what a group of individuals can do when they combine their efforts. "Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks." - Herodotus In conclusion I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Brad and Larry for taking the reins on number crunching. I think that in the short time I've posted with them and the rest of you that we have an excellent group of individuals and with a combined effort of gentleman's agreement and patience we have an excellent chance to advance our cause...... which is ultimately to see an appreciation in our investment.

Emerson, One more thing I might add about getting your certificates: Your broker will probably try to talk you out of getting your stock in certificate form. The reasons vary, all the way from them thinking they will lose some of your business, to their own accounts being depleted of assets. You will probably hear the following: 1. As long as you keep your stock with us, we won't loan your shares out. 2. As long as you keep your shares in your cash account they can't be loaned out. 3. As long as your shares are in your margin account they are safe. 4. No one can borrow your stock without your permission. 5. (This one is my favorite) BB stocks cannot be shorted so you shouldn't worry about anyone borrowing your stock for that purpose. After your broker carefully explains all of the above reasons to you Thank him/her for their time........... Then request your certificates anyway. It is the ONLY way to prevent your shares from being borrowed.
