Hank, are you familiar with AVNT's price action after the incident related to the criminal portion of that case in April '97? Stock gapped down from ~29 to ~14 on the news, fell to 10, and then rebounded to 35. I think I would say nobody in their right mind would have gone long that stock, at that time, but they did. I thank my lucky ducks that they did, because I wouldn't have made so much money shorting it as I didn't become aware of AVNT until Aug 1, 97 (Asensio's initial report).

It sure wouldn't shock me to see ZONA try for 30ish.

BTW, I have never been able to borrow shares of ZONA, I quit trying after several attempts. I am currently waiting for Datek to acknowledge funds I sent them, and hopefully I will be able to build a position.
