So Rocky, is it true? Is Nomyidea going to sell all those original defective disks to you at a discount? Seems like a good investment to me--why don't you at least buy a few thousand and hold onto them for while, and then try to resell them in a few months--hey, at least the most you can loose is 100% of your money, unlike shorting IOM. . .

RockSpeak : so wrong so often for so long ...... (there's just so much of this stuff and it's so easy to find.....) To: Joel Sternberg (18594 ) From: Rocky Reid Monday, Mar 24 1997 7:19PM EST Reply # of 40284 Once the numbers come out for this past week's activities, I'm sure they will bear out my theory that the price stability was due to short covering. It seems this latest wave of short covering is ending, which leaves IOM free to fall into the 13's as no one is willing to buy at this level. I am still seeing a 3 to 3 1/2 point rise during earnings, so at this point, 17 1/2 to 18 seems as if it could be a price to sell short again and ride IOM down to the single digits. The failure of IOM to rise after April 18 will shake out even more of the old-guard Motley Fool IOM types and also cause more institutional short selling. The overall morale of this stock is pretty low, and combined with it's P/E 34, leaves it ripe for the short sellers.

The push to get in the market first with this sexy new machine will be huge. Maybe the start of 1998.
