If it makes you feel better to be worried about this, that's fine. I've never lost money trading IOMEGA...So far I have picked the near low and near highs every time I enter and exit... My whole beef with Rocky or anyone else, is Touts or SHills that do not disclose, or multiple uses of one account... Like I said..long GNET... As for IOM...I have no idea what the future will bode for IOM. I know most of my artsy fartsy Graphic designer friends swear by them . I know they hated SyQuest.. So far they haven't started using CD roms... So...IOMEGA will still be around for awhile as a trading stock, at least... I don't fall in love with the company. I even sold most of my MSFT near $100 recently.. (buying in the mid 80's at the moment) Nope. I don't have a problem with people being a bear... Ever see me post anything when other IOM bears have spoken...

Ken - I agree with you that worrying about who Rocky does or does not work for is irrelevant to the performance of IOM. I also believe that it's OK to have an interest in life other than Iomega's future earnings. In fact, considering how dismal those earnings prospects are, it's really a necessity to have other interests. Therefore, I see nothing wrong with people talking about Rocky on this thread, if that's what they want to do. After all, if people are looking for useful investment information, they would probably be looking elsewhere. I can only conclude that many of the participants here, myself included, continue to monitor this thread only for entertainment. Furthermore, I must consider the possibility that hedge fund managers with large short positions might be using threads such as these to manipulate investor sentiment. For decades, there have been hedge funds which have taken an active part in managing companies that they had invested in. It doesn't take much of a mental leap to realize that if it is possible to actively help a company in order to protect a long position, it is also possible to try to sabotage a company to protect a short. If such a thing has happened with Iomega, then that is a very important concern. However, while Iomega may have been the victim of such manipulation, but it doesn't matter too much anymore. As others have pointed out, nobody has done as good a job of harming Iomega as the company's own management. - Allen
