Rocky, Qtr. would have been basically flat when compared with same qtr.1997. 10-25 million "loss" in large part reflects increased ad budget. Sure this isn't good, but it is more troubling because it raises concern about the ability of management to continue execution of the business plan and bring the company to the next level. archcc

Rocky -- Since you're apparently hung up on "book value" wouldn't YHOO, AMZN, & AOL make better candidates than IOM? Yhoo has a book of $2.55 and a price of $86. AMZN has a book of $1.57 and a price of $85. AOL has a book of $2.95 and a price of 63. IOM has a book of $1.61 and a price of $7. There would appear A LOT more profit potential in the first three. Didn't you already 'short' AOL? Oops, sorry....ouch!

rocky, i am starting to understand what you have been saying for awhile about iom. i question (take back) the negative comments toward your past ideas (although i meant them at the moment). anyway, thank-you for being that questioning voice in my head. I'll do what i want to do anyway, but i for one need to hear all sides regardless of how it pains me and put my ego aside. after all a buck is a buck. and it (the buck) doesn't care. one just has more of them some days and less of them others. b-man
