Short-sellers tend to move under cover of darkness, launching stealthy guerrilla raids on stocks they deem ready for a fall.
Not Manuel Asensio, a combative soul whose noisy frontal assaults on his targets have made him one of the least popular figures on Wall Street.

Where fellow short-sellers deliver sotto voce comments on their picks to a select few, he takes short positions then posts vituperative screeds on the Web site for nine-year-old Asensio & Co., a broker-dealer and hedge fund manager.

Other money managers, longs and shorts alike, discuss stocks with owlish aplomb. Asensio rants about "frauds" and "scams," sounding like Al Pacino in Scarface.

I'm so glad I found his website .It feels like being on the treasure island.
