ZenaTech Inc ( ZENA ) shares are pulling back some 21% to $8.07 Wednesday morning. The stock may be pulling back after surging Tuesday on momentum from last week’s announcement of strategic partnerships aimed at aligning its ZenaDrone 1000 AI drone solutions with U.S. defense standards.

What To Know: ZenaTech ( ZENA ) revealed last Thursday that its subsidiary, ZenaDrone, signed agreements ensuring compliance with Blue Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The company says these partnerships position ZenaTech ( ZENA ) to supply its drones to U.S. Defense branches and NATO forces, following successful trials with the U.S. Air Force and Navy for critical field operations.

CEO Shaun Passley credited the Arizona Commerce Authority for facilitating these partnerships, which qualify ZenaDrone for the Blue UAS list, a key step in expanding its defense market presence.

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource.
