>>What this tells me is that the subscriber base is not going to erode quickly. Combine this with improving advertising revenues (I'm not going to debate the legitimacy or future projections on these numbers, but you can smell those reported numbers increasing the next couple quarters) and all those shorts (some of them must be a little nervous), and it looks like a continued rise in the stock price.<< Tom, very insightful posting! People go with AOL for technical ease of startup and stay for content provided. At $19.95/month,unlimited usage, the price is right! It's a little like Cablevision in my area vs. the dish providers. I hate Cablevision but love cable and know what to expect from that company and am afraid or too lazy to switch over. People don't care for AOL but they seem to be improving service and acting just a touch humble. There's also the rumor-that-won't-go-away about a Disney buy out that's supporting the price to some degree. If you think about it, it's a pretty logical step for DIS although the $$$ would be steep.
