We've been through this before... but, if you have a margin acct there is nothing you can do as per the agreement you singed with your brokerage. If you have a cash acct. your shares can not be borrowed for short selling. No one is stopping you for putting in future high priced orders so if it makes you feel better go ahead. Most brokerage houses only let you put in future orders that are not too far above what the current price is anyway. Scottrade comes to mind. GO SFOR Headed for higher PPS !!!!!!
