Should the play be in MarineMax (Symbol: HZO) versus ZAGG?

I usually don't bother with something like this but here is HZO:

MarineMax, Inc. operates as a recreational boat dealer in the United States. It sells new and used recreational boats, including pleasure boats, such as sport boats, sport cruisers, sport yachts, and yachts; fishing boats; convertible yachts; motor yachts; and ski boats.

From the article you posted it says HZO technology is "privately held". Privately held means not publically traded. But, wait a minute, there is a company with the symbol HZO on the exchange, so that must be it, right?

Anyway, the top holders of the HZO waterproofing technology (not the boat company) were ZAGG and TINY the last time I checked.

Definitely not. MarineMax is not the company that Zagg owns a part of. MarineMax is not the company that has the water blocking technology It's confusing, because the stock symbol for MarineMax is HZO.

The company actually named HzO (spelled like that), in which Zagg owns a stake, is not publicly traded.

Here's their website:

HzO WaterBlock Technology

I notice that Kelly already pointed out the difference. Thanks, Kelly.
