RE: Old Posts.

Right, although I think there were some issues about this not working for some browsers. You can also get there from #subject-595-Range-0 .

Another thing that you can't forget while reading older posts is that they are pre-split prices. You have to divide to get the equivalent price from today. For simple reference, here's the divisors for the various date ranges:

Before 11/23/94: 15
11/23/94 - 1/31/96: 12
2/1/96 - 5/20/96: 4
5/21/96 - 12/22/97: 2

Reading message #1 in the thread (#reply-4239), the cost basis of $23 and the sale price of $30 sounds high, but it's equivalent to $2 and $2.50. (I wonder if that guy is kicking himself for selling at $2.50?)

It's fun to read through those old messages and see the thinking back then. It's amazing how close they were on some things and how off-base they were on others (bulls and bears alike).

Allen and ALL, to go to the listing of posts (headers) click on START

Here's post 93 from Dec 6.1995

Looks like there are a few people ready to sell Iomega between $50 and $51 today.

Must be a psychological number!!! Need to get rid of these people, before we can go
higher. Can't be to many around with only 15 or so million shares outstanding.
