Trufflette, please don't do it. You really think you're going to make 20K because Iomega must go up tomorrow morning because it went down so much today?? Maybe it will and maybe it won't, but you might as well take a plane over to Vegas and play craps-- it'll be more fun and you'll earn a few thousand miles towards a free plane ticket. Don't trade when you're upset.

Truf, call the 800-446-4927 and listen to all the BullShit that he speals out. If it would not cost the long term holders so much ultimately and make the GD lawyers rich, I would entertain a suit against KE and IOM. I was struck with an earnings disaster in IFMX last year and lost over 200k by staying in for earnings that were horrible. I learned my lesson. I also am participating in the class action suit, however, the only people that will prosper from the suit will be the God Damn attorneys. So I will not participate in a suit again. I will not lose again because I will not stay in for an earnings report. Remember, Truf, the mornings after earnings the stock may gap up 1-1.5 points before you can get in if earnings are good, however, it will open 3-5 points lower if your are wrong. The odds are better on staying away until after the announcement. Equities retreat faster to the downside than they go to the upside. The real money is made on the selective short side. However, this is a very dangerous game to play, that is why I say selective short side. I seldom short. I like to out of everything at days end though. This market is way to volatile to chance a suprise like tonites. williet
