Allen and co. I haven't been posting much lately because this thread wastes far too much time dealing with Rockhead's bear-brained BS, and the level of info discussed has deteriorated accordingly. I joined this thread about a year ago when IOM stock had drifted down to 15.5 (my buy-in price). At that time Rockhead and some guy named Joel were constantly down on the stock and it did hit a bottom of about 12.5 and has zig-zagged up from there slowly but surely to its recent peak of 33.5. I don't know why Joel disappeared but it took many months of heavy spamming to get Rockhead to wander off and then a few months ago, some of our sweet softies invited him back in. Nothing against them for doing that, but what a bore to have him back. So I ask you politely, Rockhead, why don't you stick your snoz back inside the gooey wet spot you normally keep it in and leave us alone. Thanks a lot. Please buy lots of Syquest and Sony and go home. ...My point, there is no point in arguing with Rockhead, or the Bearded One for that matter, because they do not think logically and are only here for the attention they get in provoking our ire. The more you respond to them, the greater thrill they get. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, its a lot more fun to play the villain. This is entertainment for Rockhead, not business. If he was a serious investor with real bucks in stocks or options he couldn't be serious about $300 being too dear to augment an expensive laptop with zip capacity. He is strictly minor league, and I would hope we can stop playing with him as if he was for real. I for one tripled my position in IOM via the May 22.5 calls several months ago and have no doubt they will be double in value in 30 to 60 days just as my stock will once again be more than double in value in the same period.... ..Last year I got into IOM because I saw zips being added to almost all new and used systems being used by University researchers. The same thing happened about 8 to 10 years ago when 5.25" floppys were the standard and 3.5" floppys were being added on as second drives and gradually supplanted the 5.25" over about 5 years. The same will happen with the zips, but it takes a few years. Be patient. Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
