Rocky: If you really believe that, how can you possibly be long this stock?

Would that be 14 cents in the red or the black? >> 4th Q Prediction: IOM .14›/share <<

>>4th Q Prediction: IOM .14›/share<< Hmmm. I'm assuming that you misplaced the decimal point there, and that you aren't actually saying that the eps will be less than one cent. If earnings were 14 cents that would be about 10% lower than the consensus estimates, but still significantly up from the 11 cents of last quarter. An improvement of 30% from the previous quarter would be nothing to sneeze at. I wouldn't bet that way, though, since Iomega hasn't missed consensus estimates yet. There's always a first time, but I think I'd have to figure they'll come in more like 16 cents. - Allen

I'm surprized you actually think Iomega made money, and you're even close to the analyst's estimates. I expect it to be above that, but your prediction is reasonable. IOM could have had Jaz sales significantly affected by SparQ last quarter, but I doubt it. Zip sales look good. Brendan

Message from Rocky Reid on Jan 2 1998 11:18PM EST 4th Q Prediction: IOM .14›/share ***************************************************************** Thank you so much Rock old boy. I'm glad you're helping to contribute to the so called "whisper number" to come in low.......".......hmm maybe those estimates were really to high after all"....is what the street will believe. So yes !!! Thank you. Since even if we come in at $0.16 per share it will be viewed as 2 or 3 or 4! cents above the "whisper number"....thus propelling the stock price up..at least a 1/4:))))) My estimate Rock is actually lower than yours: $0.01/share :))))))))))))) Frank
