How's it going over here? Hopefully well..

Dale, you said:

<< FWIW, I was convinced the earnings news would have brought the stock price significantly lower by now. The support we're seeing at this level has caused me to re-think where IOM might go from here.) >>

ahh.. fooled by the market again. Yes, the market is not rational,
therefore you cannot beat the market by using rational techniques!
Why can't fund managers beat the market? Because they are the market,
and they all 'play' using the same rules. (the same rules you are trying to use here... PE, P/S, etc..).

The stock market is a perfect chaotic model: can't predict the short
term but the long term stands out when you step back and look at it
from afar.

The fact is: Iomega will never make another dime. period. (IMO)
maybe a penny or so ;).Therefore, the long term puts this stock
at $2 or so. What will it do from now until then? who the heck knows?
but you cannot fight the tape. People (especially Iomeganiacs) will
flock back to this cheap stock on any sign of strength, even when
there is very low volume.

Mark my words: One year from today this stock will be trading at
2 1/2. But I won't do anything until this 'rally' plays out. My
likely play is naked calls. The stock moves slow enough to make this
a fairly safe play. But I bet we see 9 7/8 before 2 1/2! I'll wait
until then, or until a new downtrend takes shape.

Good luck!
