Not every one is a Loyal as you..and first call has 9 analist cutting
their ratings and only 3 increasing in the last 30 days..keep in mind
most of this stock is owned by mutual funds..thats what really moved
it up, ( they now want out hopefully in an orderly fashion ) but that
may be to late..she is not expected to turn in any thing but losses
in 97..and only a .79 cent profit in 98, and I doubt that..:

AOL has simply attracted new comers to the net,..their churn rate
is very high so I think your idea of brand loyality is based on
your own standards of loyalty..alas most people have very little
brand loyalty..and hate standing in lines..
AOL could go belly up, sure she will be with us and make some sort
of come back..I compare her sort of being like Kmart once was,
a real high flyer..now Kmart is still around..but did she ever
take a beating..and she will not likly ever be what she once was
wally world took her place..
AOL losses are just too much for the mutual fund managers to sleep
with..they been easing out now for a week..any day could be
stanpede time..the "folks" individual stock owners could get left in the cold as the fund cartels fight it out after or before the bell..that's the real rub..u can go to sleep at night on one like this..and wake up the next day and she done took a 50% hit before she opens, warning "stop losses" do not protect you either..if it's triggered it will sell, but by the time it comes it's turn at the counter the stock could be in the basement.
