All,

Some food for thought.

Question: Is there a problem specific to Iomega that is trending the stock price down? Or is there an endemic problem that has swept Iomega up within it?

Some thoughts: I just heard our friend 'better late than never' a.k.a. 'now that the horse is running down the road, let's tell someone about shutting the barn door' Bob Pisani posit for the umpteenth time, in the last three or four days, that the disk drive sector is giving back it's recent gains.

Hmmmmmmmmm... let's see the disk drive sector. That's characterized by the DDX a.k.a. the disk drive index. I wonder what that looks like over the past 30 days or so:

Interesting.... well what would it look like with most of it's component pieces overlayed on it:

HMMMMMM.... So the final question, left for the observer to answer, is this: Is IOM driving the DDX, or is the DDX driving IOM? Specific problem or endemic problem?
