Craig, Just to correct one minor point in your post: Iomega's stock price all-time maximum was 27 1/2. That's adjusted for all the splits, of course. John

I personally, in addition to most others, are not accusing him of being personally responsible for IOMs (past) destruction...rather being "personally irresponsible." Why won't he answer the one very important question he has been asked. Even a NO answer would satisfy many people.

craigl, Rocky is not responsible for IOM dropping from 27 to where it is now, though that is clearly part of his intent. No one deserves what he dishes out. His intent is malicious. He wants to hurt, malign and impugn without regard to logic, reason or fairness. For this, he deserves the criticism he gets. There are those on this thread, however, who take the opposite side of the coin. They play up Iomega's prospects, irrespective of the risks and probability that Iomega can and has failed - the intent of which is to try and increase Iomega's share price. They deserve criticism as well. Shorting IOM is no more immoral than is playing the long side - as long as you follow the rules of common decency. Ken Pomaranski is a good example of a bull/bear that is fair, reasoned and skeptical - as well as optimistic when fundamentals allow. sincerely, Philip
