In our jurisdiction if you give permission to use shares to short you're no longer the legal owner of those shares.
In case of a BK of the bank/broker that would leave me having a claim on my banker/broker, but my shares are gone.
In these times I do not want to have a claim on any banker (don't mind having a debt to them).

No positive bank accounts, no bonds, nothing.
