Everyone should examine the financial statements carefully. The issue of the "timing adjustments" may just be a smoke screen. If you subtract the "cost of revenues" and "marketing" expenses from the "total revenues" you end up with almost exactly the same result for 4Q97 as for 4Q96. In reality, AOL is FLAT year over year. PITIFUL for any company. BEYOND BELIEF at the current stock price.

AOL seems to be making absolutely no headway at all when you simply consider gross profits and marketing expenses (which are effectively part of costs of revenues, given the way AOL operates). What else is there to say? Its a loser! IT'S A LOSER!

On top of all of its other failings, AOL has an operating loss of $481 million this year!
