How to Prevent your Shares Holdings ('on NASDAQ') from being Shorted
Q:Why does short selling reduce share prices?
A: To short-sell a share speculators have to borrow the shares in the first place. Once they have done this they need to sell them in the market, and if this is done en-masse it can push the share price of a company down in the short term as there are more sellers than buyers in the market. Hedge funds specialising in short selling may also cause panic in the market by selling lots of shares in a company as other shareholders become worried about the share price plunge. Some companies will blame short sellers for dramatic declines in their stock price. The practice is so controversial that bans on short selling are not unknown and during the last credit crisis in 2008, traders were not allowed to short-sell certain banks and financial institutions.
Most borrowers and lenders of shares are institutions, brokers, etc. Mere mortals can borrow indirectly by using Spread Bets or Contracts for Difference. If you go short, you are effectively borrowing shares to sell for money; if you go long, you are effectively borrowing money to buy shares. Depending on the balance between shorts and longs, the company offering these products may choose to cover the risk by borrowing real shares to sell or by investing money to buy real shares.
Q:What can you do to prevent your shares holdings from being shorted?
A: Now what can the average personal investor do to stop their own shares being shorted, as believe me your own broker, if approached, WILL sell your own shares that they hold on your behalf as a nominee account.
There are two things you can do, the first is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyone’s advantage but the alternative solution is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double today’s price. As they are ‘on order’ they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you are reducing the amount of ‘free shares’ out there that can be used for shorting purposes. And don’t forget to move your limit order up when the price starts to recover, then, that way your shares can’t be shorted – not much but helps :D.
Although an individual personal investor will not normally have enough shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their hands on.
In my opinion well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share that you own.

I agree
I change my vote then to the old board and changing the name to NB so it can be followed in US currency. We are officially a US company and the board should reflect that accordingly.
EXACTLY - THIS NB BOARD NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN.
Putz created this NB board way back in 2016.
The old board will/should be renamed and we need to continue using it.
Every should NOT be migrating to this board as I personally believe it will be going away VERY SOON / like tomorrow when the new NB on NASDAQ takes effect. iHub should (I believe) only allow one forum per each stock.
MARCH 20, 2023 ~America’s Broken Supply Chain~ WHITE PAPER
How secure supply chains are essential for US national, economic, and environmental security
https://defensecoalitions.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AZDIC-Supply-Chain-Whitepaper-FINAL.pdf
Material resources – metals and minerals mined from the earth – have always been essential to human development and social progress. History has been defined by access to key materials with severe consequences for nations that lacked them. Today, when the average smartphone and laptop contain more than half of the elements in the Periodic Table, reliable access to metals and minerals has never been more critical.
The Arizona Defense & Industry Coalition (AZDIC) has partnered with RioTinto, Kore Power, and the Nature Conservancy on an extensive working group with the purpose of identifying supply chain shortfalls and how Arizona can utilize its expertise in defense, clean energy, and the environment to solve the problem. We stand ready to work with leaders like Senator Sinema, who inspired this working group, to decrease US dependency on foreign adversaries for our national, economic, and environmental security.
I like NB, Nasdaq, US dollars. Don’t mind the burden of history. It’s spring, it’s a new beginning of all of us invested in NB on the Nasdaq.Let’s go building a mine. There are too many who try to make a business out of the past. Let’s go for the future.
Because the end goal was to get listed on the NASDAQ as quickly as possible so they could open the shares up to US Based Institutional buyers........... Only my opinion.
Yep. That should be the direction we go. Keep the old board, update the information so we are listed on the Nasdaq...........
Welcome to the New World!! Welcome to a Nebraska, midwest, hard-working organization. Cha.....Ching.....
