I have a question to ask - you said to put your bids in - which would be great if I didn't make all my purchases already.

On a similar note (an idea gleaned from TFMetals website re: the SVM massacre of the past week) could we not stop the shorting of AUM stock by simply putting our currently owned stock for sale at extremely high prices

Eg if I owned 1000 of AUM at $12, say I put them for sale at $100. Does that prevent brokerages from using our stock to short the equity. If it did sell for $100, I'd be OK with it, and it keeps it 'out of reach of the shorters' - the legal shorts that is.

It doesn't do a darn thing for the naked shorters, I'm guessing....
