The historical pattern of stocks like AOL, which has been propped up in anticipation and facilitation of a secondary, are illustrative. Within six months of a successful secondary such stocks, on average, are found with stock prices over 50% lower than the secondary price.

(MFers should remember IOM, a company with far stronger fundamentals than AOL, followed the pattern.)

That obviously is not a pleasant augury for LT owners of AOL.

BTW, if you are indeed a fan of cash flow analysis (which gives a far better picture of a company's business than "earnings", you should know that strongly negative numbers like AOL's indicate that the company is, in effect, liquidating itself.
