Ever notice how few storage companies actually make money for their investors? Started a position in MIHL today. they own a goodly amount of OPTV which had a nice pop today. Dale Baker has told the story quite well on his board. I have been watching this one for awhile. I also continue to like UCOMA and added more today. Cable companies have historically rewarded their investors nicely.

I've had IOM on a watch list, but never really warmed up to it. Generally concerned that it's Zip drive franchise [& revenue from same] is on the decline as CDRW drives are becoming the floppy storage replacement of choice. Management turnover during transition/turnaround attempt is legitimate concern [This ain't Wrigleys - No 'you can't screw it up' francise]. I haven't studied the company in depth, though, so you could get much better informed views on Motley Fool boards where I suspect there's much discussion on IOM.

I'll take some IOM here.

P/b about 1.5 and low p/sales. Sells at 2x cash with no ltd. Profitable. Lots of resources available to develop new products, coventure, do deals.

Negatives are there too. The ones we know about are well publicized, e.g. resignation of president (another one), declining revenues, inability to capitalize on its products and/or rapid obsolescence of them by competition.
