What's Asensio's call on Zonagen now? I noticed he issued a few press releases from 11/97 - 1/98 which brought the stock from 40 to 20. A few months later the stock was at 40 again and not a peep out of Asensio. Why? The way I see it he attacked the stock to save/create a short position or he was clueless in his reports. Since his first press release was 1 day after a $10 million endorsement from Schering-Plough I'd have to conclude he paniced. Since his reports trying to kill Zonagen/Vasomax the company has received acceptance of a New Drug Application from the FDA, $20 million in licensing fees from Schering-Plough. Vasomax was approved in Mexico, the company has bought back 400,000 shares and it's had its first profitable quarter (Q398). I just want to know 2 things: Why didn't he attack when the stock reached 40 again(had he covered?) Does it seem like he misjudged Zonagen or, did he flat out manipulate the price. As of 12/20 the stock is at 20 still but it looks like it has 2 moderate buy recommendations based on a better "side effect" profile than Viagra for Vasomax. I think one is from CIBC. So what's his call on Zonagen now. Why hasn't he said anything on Zonagen for a year now.
