Asensio not disclosing they are short ZONA is pretty funny--they are short specialists and it should go without saying that they shorted ZONA heavily before that PR. They are heavy hitters, and shouldn't be taken lightly. They were early in attacking Dianna Corp (From above $50 to delisting and trading for a few bucks) and Solv Ex (SOLVQ--currently in bankrupcy and trading around $2 whereas as high as $20 after Asensio attacked). The fact that you never heard of them just shows your lack of knowledge--is certainly doesn't diminish Asensio's power. They are like bulldogs--they dont let go until the company is in tatters. Expect a steady stream of shrill, down-and-dirty, negative hype about ZONA. I do not necessarily approve of Asensio's tactics--but he is a force to be reckoned with--and I think ZONA is in deep sh*t with this guy after them BTW--ZONA is very oversold short term (surely because of Asensio's shorting), so would wait a week or so before thinking about shorting ZONA.
