Frowning Joe, head shaking knowingly, says "remember IOMega, they recently split 2:1 when they weren't even over 30, well they missed their estimate by two cents and it looks like they are heading down big time today.." There isn't 'big time' left to go......

CNBC just completely garbled IOM earnings rept, gave the wrong price for recent high and said the stock closed way down without noting that drop was in after-hours action. These people set the lowest possible standards for themselves and consistently fail to meet them. Of course there was not even a hint that earnings were up sharply from last year. BTW, seems to me that IOM didn't miss their number; the analysts missed their number. As far as I know, IOM doesn't predict earnings. Do any of these analysts ever get fired for off-base predictions? BTW again, anyone here know which job actually commands the top rung on the prognosticating career ladder: stock analyst, point spread guy in Vegas, psychic hot-line person???
