All: Last week several posters were fired up and writing letters to Barrons, etc. about the poorly researched articles they presented on IOM. (The articles appeared a little short sited) Maybe we should send IBD some e-mail thanking them for having a reporter who did their homework and presented a fair and informative article on IOM. "just a though" gale

1000 FEB 30 puts traded as a block ??? Last night, I was looking around trying to decide when and at what price I would buy Feb calls. While looking at quote.com click chart and choose volume enter IOMNF for Symbol choose 60 for Time (you need Java in your browser for this) I noticed that on the afternoon of Dec. 3rd, 1000 Feb 30 put contracts were traded "all at once" (based on my interpretation of the above referenced charting tool) - a very dramatic departure from the comparatively negligible prior and later volume levels. Reuters notes 100K and 150K block stock trades, things like that also get posted on this thread. I went back and looked through ALL the posts since then (talk about arduous ! black lace notwithstanding) and I find no mention of this 1,000,000 share "side-bet" ! Shouldn't this be considered significant ? Maybe some sort of a precursor to the recent slide ? Could someone verify this "action" from another source ? I've been long IOM since July 1984. I've been lurking here for months. This is my first post, I just paid $125 so I could bring this up so don't leave me hangin. <g>
