I am the founder of asensio.com a noted short-selling organization recognized as the Pioneer of Activist Short Selling. It has successfully advocated against more than 52 companies that we believed to be misleading investors. Early on the New York Times called asensio.com's work "something radical and remarkable." I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and went to work in Venezuela during that nation’s economic boom period, which occurred after the Venezuelan government nationalized its domestic petroleum industry. I left Venezuela as government policy began to shift away from free markets to attend Harvard University’s Graduate School of Business where I obtained a Master’s degree in investment management and finance.

In 1996, asensio.com began releasing short-focused research on the internet, becoming the first organization of its kind, the innovator of Strong Sell recommendations, and was the first and remains the only SEC and FINRA registered broker-dealer to have focused on short-selling research and trading. Our status as a unique member of FINRA and a pioneer in activist short selling generated conflicts with other FINRA members and FINRA's staff determined to bar me from membership in their private organization. We are constantly attempting to correct this disagreement. Today the firm and the site are independent of FINRA.
