But you can, for nearly no premium, buy ZONA puts way in the money as another method to short the stock (like the ones that trade for about $20). It will cost you real money up front, however, unlike a short, and it will eventually expire. But if you are convinced ZONA is headed down, it's one way to play it.

<Trouble is, you can't short zonagen, or at least I couldn't yesterday thru E-schwab.>

Also couldn't borrow shares through Fidelity today. May have to look at puts as suggested in the other reply to this posting but I don't like the time limitation. I had to wait six months plus for ZITL to be (very) profitable with my short. Would have died with puts.
