Dueling Fools
Iomegadeth?
Iomega Price (11/23/99): $3 7/8
Is it still hip to be Zip? Iomega <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: IOM)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: IOM)") end if %> has been faltering in recent popularity contests. The Roy, Utah data storage specialist was once the toast of Fooldom. What will tomorrow bring? Not all Fools agree.
Rick Munarriz (TMF Edible) and Paul Larson (TMF Parlay) are Dueling Fools. Rick thinks the shares have bottomed out. Paul thinks there is still time for bailing out.
Once you've clicked past Clik! and completed the Duel, why not reopen the toy chest to see who won the Hasbro <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: HAS)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: HAS)") end if %> bout in ourDuel Flashback.

Nevertheless, I have every reason to believe that the company and the stock will continue to head the same direction it has over the past two years -- down. Continue... |
