Did someone have info on ACE or ASTN that said to short or avoid?

I'm researching ZICA as a long-term short. Would you please explain the connection between ZICA and WRC (e.g., was Barton's hedge fund buying or shorting, or both)? Thanks.

>> TMSR Thrustmaster, a classic. Be careful of the crowded short there. Sounds like you do some good homework on the short side, would like to hear more ideas from you. <<

Wow, I am totally blushing! Thanks for the complement. But honestly, I'm mostly a leach piggybacking off of A@P and Bill Wexler. But I will share my few ideas here, hope they all don't suck...

Yup, CSCC is a crowded short, but slightly less crowded than you might think--I've got almost 10% of the short interest, and I am not covering until the low single digits, and maybe not even then. Might take another six months, or another year, but that's OK.

Still building my ZICA short,

-- Pete

Free upticks in geoworks. Crappy company, miniscule revenues. $2.5 to $3 usually.
