Speaking of removable storage, a friend of mine told me of a $30 kit that allows one to convert a 1,4G hd into a portable storage. Allegedly it allows one to access through a parallel port and have much the same function as anything Syquest or IOM have for a much cheaper price. Is this a threat to IOM business model? Has anyone had any experience with this kit? TIA jyatsu

<<Looks like the large institutions are buying IOM>> Hello Michael, I downloaded every single IOM bid and ask order for today's transactions. I then loaded the data into MS Excel, and filtered out all buy and sell orders greater than 100,000 shares. I then sorted the data by time of day. The following chart leads me to believe that most of the large buy orders (bid column) are coming from the large institutions. Most sell orders were for small quantities. In my opinion, it looks like the small investors are selling IOM shares for all the reasons discussed on this thread (ie. margin calls, uncertainty, etc...) and the large institutions are buying IOM shares at a discount.
