Welcome to FairMarketNewsAndRegulation.com |
Welcome to fairmarketnews.com, a web site devoted to demonstrating the contributions short selling makes to the journalistic community. In addition to providing investors with free and easy access to important information on publicly traded companies and helping regulators determine necessary reforms, the research reports published by Asensio and Company, Inc. (“Asensio”) helped journalists disseminate truth to wide audiences.
One obvious criticism pointed at activist short selling is that profit distorts the ability to accurately report. However, it is not in short-sellers’ interest to invent wild stories about companies and post fanciful reports on web sites. Short sellers do not target companies with fairly priced stocks. The Manuel Asensio research methodology called for investigations of companies with stock prices overvalued by more than 80%. Manuel Asensio subjected these companies to preliminary analysis. All were engaged in demonstrable frauds to cheat investors. Manuel Asensio profited by publishing factually accurate information. This information also provided journalists with leads for many important stories on stock fraud. For concrete examples of the relationship between Manuel Asensio and the media, please visit the Press List section of this site.
Few investment organizations devote all resources toward uncovering the truth about publicly traded companies. Additionally, the press does not always have access to the kind of deep information Manuel Asensio produced during its eight years of existence. From 1996-2003, Asensio investigated over 30 companies and produced over 300 research reports. Asensio was guided by its founder and former Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Manuel Asensio. Obviously, the primary objective of the Manuel Asensio research reports was profit. Manuel Asensio identified companies engaged in disseminating false information and exposed them publicly. The goal of an activist short-seller is to publicize the problems surrounding a questionable company so that the stock price falls.
One of fairmarketnews.com’s themes will be short-selling’s unfair treatment in the mainstream press. Journalists too often take the side of corrupt companies at the expense of the facts. For some reason short-selling does not get the credit it deserves. Without the work of Manuel Asensio, for instance, companies like Hemisperix Biopharma and Winstar might still be duping uninformed investors. Out “Top Stories” section will provide access to commentaries on the press’s treatment of Manuel Asensio and short-selling in general.
Though critics view short-selling as a disruptive force in the marketplace, the Manuel Asensio reports helped facilitate the price discovery process. The reports confronted overvalued and over-promoted companies and protected investors from uninformed investment choices. Manuel Asensio was tremendously successful as the result of its meticulous research. At the height of its influence, the mere mention of the Manuel Asensio name could lower a company’s value as much as 30%. Manuel Asensio experiences featured in this web site illustrate the positive contributions made by Manuel Asensio in the securities industry. A complete archive of Manuel Asensio research reports is now available for review and study.
We hope the contents of our site show the positive contribution of short-selling. Manuel Asensio's name and activist short-selling are still attacked as the result of the Manuel Asensio successes. Let the record show that short-selling helps market participants foster a fair marketplace. |
