Fighting "the Shorts"

[Palm]

One clarification in this not sure if people are catching.  This CEO is stating to pay a "stock dividend" not a cash dividend to battle shorts.  Note the explanation:
"When a company issues a stock dividend there must be an audit of all issued and outstanding shares to determine who to issue the stock dividend to and how much stock to issue to them."

Pretty clever and almost a mini-stock split.  The article also mentions the cash dividend strategy with VirnteX which we have discussed before and that obviously hits cash and would likely require it taking place after a selldown.  But a stock dividend could take place at any time couldn't it?
