The most important info from the link for me was:

"Last month, when Hyundai Group sold off its chipmaking U.S. subsidiary, Symbios Logig Corp., during efforts to restructure, industry watchers predicted that LG Group's Zenith Corp would meet a similar fate.

Observers, noting that Zenith suffered operating losses of around $100 million a year, expected LG to let go of the U.S. electronics subsidiary sometime in the near future.

Likewise, foreign investors meeting with LG executives never fail to ask if the group plans to dispose of Zenith and, if so, when the sell-off would be timed.

In the face of growing governmental pressure to streamline business lines, Korea's third largest conglomerate may find it difficult to retain a profit-losing overseas company with an uncertain future, stock market analysts said. "


Best time to acquire is after very bad news & a long history of bad news.

The price of ZE has continued to tank primarily from their dismal track record, and the above obviously valid perspectives.

The short position is strong and ZE's ascent will be initially difficult, but we are getting closer, and faster than I had initially conceived.

I still regard ZE as a long play, but w the way things are going, we may see some early action! I'll continue to accumulate on weakness.

"Zenith plans to withdraw from ... modems ...."

Bob,
Does this refer to cable modems? I would hope they do not withdraw from that business. It still seems to me that that's a product with a great deal of potential.
