Well Joel: hope you got your puts early they went up about 50%
today..I'v been tooting this thing since the 17th..she moved today,
but I think she going to move more, I disagree about AOL in the long
run..she is going to fall to a distant 3rd or even 4th, her home
made patched together system..just won't keep getting new customers
as word goes around, I can't even remember how may people I'v
taken off AOL and put with a Local Provider..
Look at ameritech.com ( not to buy the stock ) but they giving
30 days free trial on internet..AOL is going to be out done if not
by them..by another and it's not so far off just like Kmart, got
suffeled back by wally world..hell I saw that was going to happen
years ago when I saw my first Walmart store, I said shame on Kmart
she is here..but nothing but a shell of what she was..thats whats
in store for AOL..I doubt she even makes the .79 cent earnings,
they predict for 98..by 98 she will be lossing market share
so fast she will be chater 11, ( or in 98 ) and remember I told
you so to..then she will restructure..and come out of bank rupture,
and run up to 14 or so and then maybe settel in and as a good solid
10 or 12 dollar stock..that people a new generation canm pin their
dreams on..she's well not dead, but a may as well be..like a person
who lives but with out a life..
its by by for the AOL pie in the sky..the band aid of a
few modems, won't stop the beelding. she needs a heart
transplant..this 8m users thing was her last hura..I wonder
if you could really get that 8m via an aduit..I doubt it..
JIM
