Who has ZONA shares to short? I have tried at Dreyfus for several days now without success.

<<ZONA is one of those situations where you just smile and increase your position >> Absolutely correct. The Zonagen story is getting worse, not better. The stock will inevitably reflect the fundamentals.

Roger is right. But for those with weak stomachs (or nerves) it may be easier to wait till the trend actually reverses and then go short.

A while back, someone referenced a site that showed after hours trading. I've lost the web site ... can anyone lead me to it. This has been a very frustrating week ... Its one of those times when shorts are moving up,longs down, and every move is wrong... in other words, a bad hair week. Help, JB
