Linda, I vote for your #3. "The floating fat man down a lazy river rally" as the definitive cause of the resurgence of Iomega. However, there is another underlying reason for this, and that is because the floating fat man is being chased by Rock the Crockhead in his plastic boat made out of 70 floppy disks glued together. It is Rock's furious paddling with Sony Vaporware HiFD disks that is stirring up the waters, thus causing all the sleeping IOM investors to take notice. ..It is also because his prediction of $4.80 has utterly failed and he is desperate to get out while he has 1/16 point profit left in his short position at $7.25. His short partners in crime have more sense than he does and they covered last week. Over the last few weeks, Rock the Crock has had to bail out of his AOL and YHOO shorts, and his quick 20% losses have wiped him out and put him back at the harbor - offering to scrape barnacles for lunch. Now the IOM game has flipped on him again, just when he thought he could bail with a 3/4 point profit. (Rockhead never counts commission costs in his figures.) Whoopy doo, as usual, he is back in the stew. Regards, David S. Long on Intel, Iomega, and WorldCom
