>>Personally I feel that bull No Name & Jeffry Forrest DO THEIR HOMEWORK. The bulk of the herd on this thread sound like a flock of burnt out wannabe cheerleaders.<<

GB, just for the record, I didn't say anything about Jeffrey Forrest. I was flaming just bull and NoName. I think Jeffrey Forrest does do his homework. I often disagree with his conclusions, but I recognize the effort he puts in.

I don't see why you say bull and NoName are doing their homework, though. My previous post to NoName indicates my opinion of most of his posts. As for bull, I do think his posts are manipulative, often self-contradictory, and lack credibility.

For example, for a while there he posted often and vehemently that "insiders are dumping their shares in massive amounts." When the true numbers and nature of the so-called dumping were revealed, he simply started raving about something else.

As the end of the third quarter neared, he kept loudly advising everyone to (I'm paraphrasing) "sell now because after the LOSS is reported IOMG will crash." When the loss failed to materialize, he claimed the books were cooked. Apparently, the major brokerages which follow Iomega don't agree, considering that they still have "buy" recommendations in place.

No credibility.

bull's tone of cynicism, combined with massive arrogance, convinces a lot of people that he knows what he's talking about. They don't want to be considered part of the "mindless herd." But I believe that knee-jerk cynicism is no more intelligent than the mindless cheerleading he decries. He states opinions as if they are facts, and insults anyone who disagrees with his conclusions. When someone strikes back in the same tone, he complains that no one wants to hear anything but cheerleading.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the evidence of homework in all this.

bull, the thing I keep wanting to ask you is this: Where's the beef?
