Teddy/Sheila: Your points are taken and relevant only to the extent that one is a long term investor in IOM. I'm not and accordingly, the damned split and concommitant price decline do not make me happy (though I blame no one but myself for not bailing much higher). Teddy, when a person trades on a short term basis, he or she assumes risk outside that associated with "long term" investing and often is either punished or rewarded in an exaggerated manner. Such has been the case for me lately in IOM and I do not consider it crybabying to bemoan one extrinsic factor which I think contributed in no small part to the loss of momentum and price decline. So, having explained all that, I will overlook that remark and attribute it to your youth and lack of trading experience. Besides, you do manage to find some funny articles to post here. :)
