Ken, Even though you are an IOM bear I welcome your posts as they are well thought out and rational. (as opposed to the garbage poster) You are asking why some of the bulls are still holding. Personally I have great faith in the upcoming Clik! product and I want to be in the stock when it's released and on the market. SR

This from thestreet.com re: H&Q conference and Iomega The Pain, the Pain! The Disk-Drive Pain! The disk-drive industry still hasn't quite recovered from last October's tech selloff. That's probably why attendance was sparse for such disk-drive names as Seagate (SEG:NYSE) and Iomega (IOM:NYSE) Monday. One interesting company in this space, however, is Quantum QNTM:Nasdaq), which presented Tuesday morning. That says it all. I sold my Iomega last week, not because I don't think it could be a great performer by year-end, but because I can't stand to watch it go up or down 1/8 each and every day. No money managers care about this stock at present. It's going to either take a buyout or at least 2 more quarters with good reports. I just can't wait that long when stocks like Amazon go up $13 in one day. (Ever notice that yes it goes down too, but it has never gone down nearly that much in one day). Sure beats watching paint dry.

RE: Start Off Small? Ken, >> SYQT started with small loses too. << Hmmm, would that have been the $33 million loss in Q1 96? Or the $55 million loss in Q2 96? Or perhaps the $41 million loss in Q3 96? I normally respect your opinions and research, but it looks like this statement is about as well-researched as a Rocky-ism. - Michael Coley - wwol.com
