Ken, Lucy. don't you find it odd that those short this stock, without question, come up with simple minded conclusions relative to IOM's future sales based on nothing more than probables? Yet, IOM's zips continue to gain market share, continue to increase monthly as to the number of zips sold, Jaz (with your "outdated" technology) continues to sell a significant number of drives/disks, IOM continues to develop new products for the market, and you and Lucy, although correct relative to share price this one quarter, have been wrong relative to IOM's overall sales growth for the last two years and so far this year? Ken's analysis of IOM is based on negative sentiment. There are no hard numbers supporting your data relative to future growth and/or earnings. Suppositions all. Those short have determined that most of the long holders of IOM have a low emotional threshhold. This isn't about hard sales, new product potential. This is an emotional quotient; your halloween mask looks scary, and most IOM longs prefer to trust the appearance of the short traders' mask rather than actual projected sales data of the analysts who've issued the buy recommendations.
