All: Why hasn't IOM's stock price gone up? 1. Market Participants look for oppurtunity to jump on momentum now, today. With some techs like Western Digital selling for nearly book,participants seek profits today not tomorrow. 2. Hate to admit it but Iomega still doesn't possess the respect that other technology companies have. Iomega is being forced once again to take a product to consumers through retail. EK and HWP want iomega to build an installed base with the Click! drives before they throw their weight behind it. It was quite obvious to me that Eastman Kodak would not be announcing a Digital Camera with the N.hand platform. By analyzing the companies strategic decisions over the last few years, Eastman Kodak does not possess the forward thinking that it takes to create and smash new and old paradigms. The only constant at Eastman Kodak is it's lack of change. This is how a corporation becomes so complacent that it allows a competitor like Fuji to sneak right in to its own backyard. Steve Fischer is an excellent accountant but definitely no luminary. 3. In all of the mass hysteria and bias thinking going on around here. Their is a small court case coming up within weeks with some french company trying to clone Iomega's business. This is a very big cloud. Steve
