I beleive the only way to keep your shares from being loaned out is to hold them in stock certificate form outside of your account. I dont think you can just tell your broker not to loan them out.
This stock still has a fairly small float, even though there are 45 million shares outstanding. The majority of the stock is in "friendly" hands. There are not a lot of sellers, so any buying pressure exerted while people are holding on to their shares causes the market makers to " makre a market" to meet the demand. What will happen when the company announces some significant "event" and the demand takes the buy-side volume to 300,000 shares or more.
