CGarcia,
I think you should start comprising a list....of all the people that said you were crazy...of all the people that say you should sell....of all the people that say you will sell....of all the people that doubt your oath to hold aol for 5 years...and etc, etc.....You get my point.
Then in 5 years, after aol has split a few times and appreciated immensely...you know what I mean....when you can look back at this year and laugh.......touch base with all these folks with a nice " I told you so " postcard sent from your new vacation home in the carribean.
Yes, AOL does have competition. But anybody that thinks aol is going down the drain has froot loops for brains. These are the same folks that years ago said MSFT was dead...ibm was hurting...and etc, etc....I remember everybody predicting DELL's demise very clearly, yet they will be making a ton of money for shareholders for many, many more years.
People are spiteful. If the missed the call on AOL, they will be negative all the way. Non shareholders, do not want to see this appreciate, because they are not on the boat, and nobody likes missing the boat when it is as solid as this.
In due time, AOL will reward it's shareholders.
Honestly...how many people really think aol will be shut out of broadband ? How many people think a free or low cost isp is going to put aol under. All it will do, is what it is doing now. Short term pressure. AOL can counter anything the competition does...and mwill counter what they do if it is necessary.
See ya at $200 eventually....maybe sooner...maybe later, but we will get there in a reasonable amount of time.
Have a great weekend |
