What can you do to prevent your shares holdings from being shorted?
How to Prevent your Shares Holdings from being Shorted | Contracts-For-Difference.com
Now what can the average personal investor do to stop their own shares being shorted, as believe me your own broker, if approached, WILL sell your own shares that they hold on your behalf as a nominee account.

A:Now what can the average personal investor do to stop their own shares being shorted, as believe me your own broker, if approached, WILL sell your own shares that they hold on your behalf as a nominee account.
There are two things you can do, the first is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyone’s advantage but the alternative solution is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double today’s price. As they are ‘on order’ they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you are reducing the amount of ‘free shares’ out there that can be used for shorting purposes. And don’t forget to move your limit order up when the price starts to recover, then, that way your shares can’t be shorted – not much but helps
.Although an individual personal investor will not normally have enough shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their hands on.
In my opinion well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share that you own.
My theory is that the broker handling the stop loss can see the stop loss, and should be obliged to keep that information confidential. Ideally, the information should be kept secret from the ASX, with the broker's trading computer programmed to place the sell order when the price falls to the stop loss value.
That would not prevent the stop loss being hit if the SP were to be manipulated down, but it would mean that the manipulators were hunting in the dark.

I would invest in THEZEEBOTHERALD IPO.....!!!
Apology unnecessary - I am learning from the discussion, and expressing my own bombastic opinions.

Personally only use a mental stop and watch the mkt.
I learnt to never commit more $, than I know if it got wiped, that I'd lose my shit so to speak haha
For mine, probs a trailing stop is what I'd personally use if did, as allows to the order to continue with the price direction / profits and only comes into play if there's a sudden reversal to the $ or % cutoff so limits the loss.
As you say though...most likely others may still have some visability of the stop variable.

Yeah agreed, however in the dark is more like a moonlit paddock haha they know where to look for them.
Also I'm not sure why but it seems the 57-63c mark has so many people either selling or heading into negative territory or both

Our partners booths .... that sounds enticing .... time to look at the exhibitor list.
Perhaps there is a clue in the wording
Could there be 4 partners exhibiting the following solutions, explicitly mentioned in the advert.
1) Energy-harvesting energy solutions
2) Medical devices with extended battery life
3) High end video object detection
4) ADAS/autonomous systems

In addition to this Bitsensing thingy, there's got to be something more juicy happening with Infineon. I mean they've worked with Cerence on the Level 3 Mercedes Drive Pilot technology. They're a top player in the Automotive Semiconductor space and the other thing is there are some slides from previous investor presentations of Infineon's that I think are very revealing. Sorry, I got them all muddled up, some are form a recent presentation and some are from last years. So maybe they're the ones that are supplying Akida to Valeo?

Cars need microphones at the front and the rear to listen for emergency vehicles.
Autonomous vehicles must be able to yield to emergency vehicles.

Driving the Mercedes-Benz EQS EV at that company’s proving grounds, I was able to experience how the car’s SAE Level 3 driver assistance system was able to recognize when an emergency vehicle approached from behind from the sound of its siren.
Now Infineon Automotive Technologies and Massachusetts artificial intelligence specialist Cerence Inc. are partnering on these systems, using Infineon’s microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone technology and Cerence’s AI.
These Infineon mics are the same type that automakers can use inside cars’ cabins for features such as voice recognition, noted Infineon Automotive Technologies division president Peter Schiefer in a presentation for the company’s OctoberTech conference. “The microphone is likewise suited for exterior applications, such as siren or road condition detection,” he said.
Reflecting on the arrival of Mercedes’ SAE Level 3 automation, Cerence’s director of product management, Stefan Hamerich, observed in a post on the company’s site that “Cerence Emergency Vehicle Detection (EVD) is one of the most critical examples of how the co-pilot can understand the world around it and make roads – and drivers and passengers – safer as a result.”

A challenge in identifying sirens is the incredible variety of sounds employed worldwide. According to Cerence, there are more than 1,500 different siren sounds that the company’s AI is trained to identify. The Level 3 Mercedes Drive Pilot technology automatically stops the car on the right side of the lane when a siren is detected, making room for the vehicle to pass on the left side.
Cabin-mounted microphones listen along with vehicle occupants as the entertainment system blasts music. Knowing what that sounds like lets the AI filter the music out of the sounds detected by the outside microphones, so it can tell what is a siren and what is Axl Rose.
Hamerich also points out the importance of systems that employ sound to detect emergency vehicles rather than simply relying on cameras to watch for their flashing lights. “Sensors that detect incoming emergency vehicles using images and lights are limited in situations when they are blocked or impeded by other cars or bad weather,” he wrote. “Using multiple sensors, Cerence EVD helps ensure early detection that can enable countermeasures to save critical seconds in an emergency.”
The Infineon MEMS microphone is hardened for service on the outside of the car, and is qualified according to AEC-Q103-003. That means it can tolerate an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. It does so with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.5 percent at a sound pressure level of 94 dB and a high acoustic overload point of 130 dBSPL, so the mic captures distortion-free audio signals in noisy environments, says Infineon.

Reminds me of the Scotsman coming home late from the pub - takes a shortcut through the cow pasture - tam o'shanter falls off and he tries on ten before he finds the right one.
Sorry Damo - I'll take second place for that - it was all above my head ...

So from Infineon's Doctoral Thesis ad we know that they're looking for someone to do a thesis investigating how to combine neuromorphic computing with the latest Infineon Aurix® µC. Which means we might be in the next generation Aurix if I'm not mistaken or completely crazy or both! I mean, where else are they going to get a neuromorphic event-based AI accelerator from because it's not as if they're in the habit of falling off the back of a passing truck, at least not where I live?
Please DYOR because I can be prone to getting the odd thing or two wrong.

Perhaps some more German companies? Surely Mercedes has a few mates.
But I just bought one down at the pub that fell off the back of a truck - I believe it's called a gas pedal in the US.
