"Filing a public document to tell folks to buy shares in a free market and then take them off the market is not how the system is designed to work".
You acquire shares and are either the bearer or your broker is on behalf of you. There is no "taking them off the market". I understand what you are saying...and yes...if the bearer holds the physical cert'...it is not available to the broker to lend. It's still in the market though. It's just not for others to borrow. You can personally borrow against such though(your own shares), hence...still on the market.
