"Today's post before the market opened, was at (9am) and told you it would be a reversal day..." Well, we have to admit, the guy's a genius. Whod'athunk that after going up 2/3 in a week that the stock would actually go DOWN? And on Friday, of all days! My hat's off to you, Mr. Smith. I also have to admit that I predicted it would go down on Thursday, what an idiot I was! And I'm still holding, will I never learn?

Tom: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jock Hutchinson, and I have a funny habit. When clowns like you show up and start boasting about their records, I check out what usually turns out to be their pathetic lies, and Tom that is precisely what I find here. Let's look at your lies: 1. "I told everyone to see in the 30's and never came back to this panel until it was in the 2's." Not quite you liar. The following four posts demonstrate that you more than anyone else were in an outright state of disbelief when Iomega tanked over three points after the negative forward look came out this January: To: +Brendan Cowles (44546 ) From: +Thomas J. Smith Thursday, Jan 22 1998 6:22PM ET Reply # of 57928 ----10 to 15 Millions shares per week........................... Iom trades 10 to 15 million on a lite week and I guess we should sell at $9 per share because 1 millions shares worth of small trades took $4.oo off the price in afterhours trading. Get a JOB! To: +Frank Boccagna (44456 ) From: +Thomas J. Smith Thursday, Jan 22 1998 5:04PM ET Reply # of 57928 Afterhours $2.75 bid....$3 ask................. Get Real they miss by 1cent To: +SunMaster (44545 ) From: +Thomas J. Smith Thursday, Jan 22 1998 6:28PM ET Reply # of 57928 ----I threw out my 1998 car today------------------- Why??? Because a couple of small guys told me it was only worth $3.00 today, since the gas mileage posted was 22MPG and mine was getting 21MPG. I'll buy any shares on IOM below $10 tomorrow, while the little guy panics out in the morning. I think IOM would have closed in the 11's if they lost .13 per share. To: +Rocky Reid (44544 ) From: +Thomas J. Smith Thursday, Jan 22 1998 6:33PM ET Reply # of 57928 ----Sell on the open --------------------------- AND you will be selling at the bottom for the day..... If it open at $6 or if it opens at $10,,,,, It will be the bottom 10 minutes into the day..... Again ,,, 1 million shares took it down 4 points.... Small orders with small minds and short outlooks!!!!! So that's lie #1 Now let's move on to lie #1A--the one about telling everybody to sell when it was in the 30's. Since Iomega never hit a split adjusted 30, that's an easy lie to spot. Or do you mean the 30 it was at in 1996, which is now a split adjusted 7 and 1/2. Let's move onto your next lie--the one about reappearing on this board when IOM hit 2. What you forget to state was that you were a bear on the stock on your reentry, and you clearly stated that Iomega was overbought at four and one half three weeks ago. You are the man Pigman. How many pros can get see their short cut in half in two weeks? In case that incipient dementia or the clogged coronary arteries are kicking in, here is your post: To: +Gottfried (57705 ) From: +Thomas J. Smith Friday, Oct 16 1998 7:34PM ET Reply # of 57928 STILL HERE AYE? LIKE I said at $4.5, "OVERBOUGHT" and like I said at $33 in NOV. "OVERBOUGHT" ???? The few posts I had over the last year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Pigman is back, but IOM investors don't want to hear what the "PIG" is stating. IOM is now more overbought (at 3.94) based on Technicals, than it was at $33 and at $4.50 put together. Once again, purely technical... But were the technicals right? That's the question we all have to live with? Especially the chaps that did not follow the "PIG" back in NOV. and the last pass at Four and a half BUCKS... THE PIGMAN Thus your posts indicate that you were an Iomega bull at 14 and an Iomega bear at 4. Nothing like pimping for business over the Internet in order to stave off that pending job application at the neighborhood 7/11, Hey Tommy! There are a lot of people who have been wrong on Iomega because they never quite understood that ultimately it is just another member of the disk drive sector. But you sir, are a very sad human being who feels the self destructive and compulsive need to call attention to that pathos.

Watch my posts My apologies Tommy. You are the "Rainman"--the true idiosa savant--not a cheap pretender like Dustin Hoffman. I checked out some of your other posts, and you have the ultimate track record of being a contrary indicator. Talk about a world class reverse medalist. Last December you spammed some of the busiest threads on SI pandering BROD at 29. Now that was a pick. The stock went down to 13 before it was bought out at zero premium by The Learning Company: Message 2995677 207.95.154.130 The Learning Company. Now there's a company whose expertise you might need. Personal Lesson One for Thomas Smith from The Learning Company. When you buy a stock, you want it to go up . Personal Lesson Two for Thomas Smith from The Learning Company. When you short a stock, you want it to go down. And speaking of shorts Tommy, your short on Dell this January was as good as it gets: Message 3126463 Message 3069293 Message 3136215 207.95.154.130 When I saw that stroke of genius, I laughed so hard, I reaggravated an old hiatal hernia. Let me see now--a 50% loss on Iomega in two weeks, a 54% loss on BROD in 9 months, and a 65% loss on DELL in ten months. Which one of these brilliant calls gives you more pride, more machismo, more bravado, more hubris? I understand that you are out on the Internet trolling for stooges to buy your "technical analysis", but you gotta know that it's not like selling Girl Scout Cookies. You've actually got to make money for your clients. No Bull Tommy. You must be some kind of genius. I don't know of anyone else who could do that bad if he had tried. Wait a second. Are you any relation to "respected Internet journalist" Michael Brush, who was ceaselessly pandering FPAM all the way down the to the septic tank as it fell from 30 to pennies before going BK? Stick around Pig Man. You have real entertainment value. But I would take that job at the 7/11 if I were you.

Nope, I screwed up again. Your "best" return is your brilliant call of a "bear trap" this past October 22 on blue chip stocks CSCO, GE, INTC, and MSFT. Those picks have only averaged a ten percent loss in your "pottyfolio" during the last two and one half weeks as opposed to your fifty percent loss in Iomega over the same time period. But seriously, this could work. All you need is a hotline. And I believe most 7/11s have a pay phone near the entrance, so you could do double duty and make a living wage at the combined two jobs. Better start doing better with that technical analysis Tommy Gun, or else people will start calling you Piggy Bank Smith instead of Pig Smith. Cause right now your picks to click are starting to look a lot like rancid worm infested bacon.
