Any price predictions from the thread on stock price this week and after earnings assuming IOM beats the estimate???

The Future Charles, I'm with you. I too think it's going to do more than a double from here. I've thought that all along. Indeed, I predicted that it would be at a pre-split of $60, now $30 post-split, by the end of 1998. Having guessed that wrong, I'm no longer trying to fix a date on the prediction, just a number. A similar situation obtained with the demise of SYQT, which was predicted as imminent by various posters here for about two years before it actually hit. Collectively, we haven't been all that good at timing, but we HAVE been pretty good at second-guessing the course of the technology. As long as you're willing to hold long, that's the more important part. Unless something unseats the Zip--and that looks less and less likely--the value of the company will be lots higher as the 1.44MB floppy gets more and more obsolete. Add Clik! and other surprises to that mix, and it's still a safe bet to hold IOM long unless you're better at churning your stock picks than I am. Good luck to us all. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
