e. Random Fluctuations

f. Suckers rally precipitated by the announcement of the new CEO

You 'long term investors' (ha ha) are missing the big picture here. These fluctuations are killer to a portfolio, as they are mere pertibations toward the final resting place for the stock. Amateurs get suckered in big time, and lose their behinds. I just smile when I note that no one seems to want this stock at 2 15/16, but they'll suck it up four days later for 5 7/8.

Fact is, this move doesn't have ONE THING to do with the prospects of the company. You must trade it as such. Syquest had many of these 'pops' also on it's way to it's resting place. All this is is one fool trading his shares to a greater fool. (note how no institutions will get near this stock...). It's a little rally kicked off by a CEO who (if you read his words carefully) is keeping Iomega in the same track it's been headed down.

Good luck! I will likely join you if things REALLY turn around on the balance sheet. Until then, be careful...

My two cents...

See you next time!
