Young, GREAT and INTELLIGENT analysis and prediction!
I am going to ride IOMG with you to 21 century.

I've tried to search for today's price dump. No any other reasons are
shown but only thing is that "way overpriced" by the Wise Robert
Marie based on the future PE = 124 (on 5/22). The price of IOMG went
down from 54 to 44+ today. This makes me remember what happened in
January. One Wise Herb Greenberg wrote a series of articles to attack
IOMG, who is the same guy to spread the rumor for SYQT takeover on
Monday. The IOMG price went down from $50+ to $40-. The difference
between then and now is that IOMG was little known at that time but
everybody knows and wants to jump in right now especially on the Wall
Street. One evidence is that on last Tuesday, one broker called me to
introduce a great stock name IOMG at the price $54 and asked me to
buy, in other words, these Wises are anxious to jump in.

Now let's see the PE ratio in the past (earning data is taken from
brief book of WSJ):

date price earning P/E

06/15/95 3.375 0 infinity
07/14/95 4.125 0 infinity
08/15/95 4.688 0 infinity
09/15/95 3.958 0 infinity
data missing
11/22/95 6.438 0.01 643
12/15/95 7.104 0.01 710

01/17/96 6.479 0.06 108
02/15/96 6.813 0.06 113
03/17/96 9.438 0.06 157
04/17/96 16.313 0.16 101
05/15/96 33.000 0.16 206
05/24/96 44.625 0.16 278

The past P/E was always high and even the thread is titled "price too
high" since 10/14/95. Why isn't the P/E accepted right now? I think
many Wises want to lower the price to buy.
