Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[sylvester80]

Your shares are shortable only if you have a margin account (which BTW, allows longs to also BORROW to buy stocks in a very similar way that shorts BORROW to short sell a stock). So if you don't want your shares to be shortable, then convert your margin account to a cash account. It is that simple. So as you can see you don't need to get physical delivery of your shares to prevent them from being shorted.
