Ken,

<(1) A bunch of people who have never invested in a stock before
(until Iomega) who sit around and have tea parties together?>

= people with opinions

(2)The 'rest':
- Wall Street
- Wall street Journal
- Herb Greenberg
- PC week
- analysts (Iomega only missed by a penny, remember)
- Sony
- Most institutions (look at the institutional ownership)
- insiders.
- et al...>

= people with opinions

KEN, you should look at the profiles before you characterize.

That's what they're for. I have over 1000 shares of GE, over 1000 shares of MTC, over 1000 shares of SOI, etc., etc. That is not a tea party.

Ken -

The people and groups of people you lump in as "the rest" are by no means in universal agreement about any aspect of Iomega, the company, or IOM the stock.

Your characterization of the people who post on this thread is also baseless.

Your post is pointless.

Here's another thing to consider. More than two years ago, I, a lowly computer consultant with very little investment experience, decided that IOMG would be a good investment, based on my belief that the Zip drive was a terrific product and the Jaz drive was even better. Iomega was not my first stock, but it was one of the first.

At the time, the so-called "smart money" was betting against me. While it is true that the stock has had a serious haircut of late, there is no question that there was plenty of money to be made on the long side between then and now. And I have made money.

hmmm..>>>

Good point Ken, Oh, BTW, do you place yourself under category 1 or
category 2?

I kind of like category 1 myself.
