Cramer at TheStreet compares Amazon to Iomega And deservedly trashed Iomega in the process. fnews.yahoo.com As usual, he is right on the money- especially about Iomega. IOM is a bad stock with too-greedy bulls who arrived at the party too late. I would not short Amazon as well (right now) based on his reasoning.

*OT* Merger humor Okay, Truff, one good joke deserves another. This bit of merger humor came in today from my wife Nan's office. I also sent it on to my old department at the university where I was a professor, along with a recommendation that they merge all academic units on the whole campus into a single entity called the Faust School. Enjoy.

Trufflette, Been away for a few days and particularly liked your list of new Viagra-like products coming out. What you haven't realized, however, is that one product, that is sold in cream form, is already in Beta testing and is in the hands of some dude in New York. This is the product description: ROCKAGRA - Causes otherwise normal men to eschew all normal pursuits and to spend all days and nights on Silicon Investor website, ranting and raving about the presumed downfall of the Zip and Clik drive maker, Iomega. Like an obsessive compulsive handwasher, he engages in this pursuit furiously - with a mouse in one hand and a bald baby rat in the other. (By the way they are considering other formulations.) Regards, David S. Long on Intel, Iomega, and WorldCom
