Quote: once you make your purchase, put a sell order in for $1 or more and set your sell order expiration for "good until cancelled", this will ensure no one is able to use your shares for short selling.
..... don't they issue Phantom shares and fix the books at the end of the day anyways ?? ..years ago though, I did see a short sell note on my portfolio next to a stock and I didn't even know what short selling was, never saw it agin though.. after writing 'em asking what it meant.
