Clinton and IOM

>>(regarding Clinton) If any of the recent allegations are true he has got to have the worst taste in women than any man alive. All of the women crying foul with him are not the type that a normal male would want to even waste a lewd thought on.<<

Two words: Marv Albert

For some reason, both of these famous men are into horse-faced women. Don't ask me why.

As for IOM, it is a horse-faced stock. I hope that it starts to gain some ground before I bail today. It looks like it's pre-earnings sucker rally lasted all of half a day 2 days prior to earnings. This doesn't look good for tomorrow, as volume is tiny again, and there is no excitement about this issue, earnings or not.

Perhaps people on the Street already know the numbers, and are unimpressed. Whatever the reasons for the disappointment today, it's getting time to turn off the lights and lock up the door on this stock. The Street knows this. Competition is coming out of the woodwork. SyQuest Quest crushes Jaz2 any which way but loose. Flash is the standard-- not Vapor!.And the Sony HiFi 200MB backwards compatible drive will supplant Zip in a lot of OEM's very quickly. Iomega has done their best to burn bridges with their customers and retailers, and will soon pay the price for their arrogance, terrible customer service, and price-gouging.

Kevin: Yes, but can you imagine the rumours which will be floated on the floor by short sellers and others until this situation has some clarity? We could see some serious volatility, I think.

BTW, I agree about Slick's choice of women and I'm a woman! However, I think it's possible that he has a compulsion or addiction problem which might explain that.
