More from the street.com:

Now Jeff Berko and I are duking it out. He
says that the news that just came out about
Amazon (AMZN:NYSE), big loss, no big upside
to the revenue, is negative enough to knock
AOL (AOL:NYSE).

Me, I think Amazon is, is, well, Amazon -- and
the market will discern between the two. The
AOL call finished on a negative note, some
bummer question about free ISPs and whether
this will be the trend. Simultaneous with the
question came the 'Zon's right in-line loss and
a two-for-one split.

I think it is too hard to call. I just believe that
Amazon's profligate ways won't impact AOL.
Jeff thinks that the sub-sub growth at AOL will
overshadow the good margins and Amazon will
take everything down.

Of course, Instinet confirms his view right
now, with AOL trading back to 114.5 on the bid
side.

Six o-clock and we are still at it. Can't wait till
round-the-clock trading. Round-the-clock
indecision and pain!
