The problem is that this thread is flush with people who bought on the AOL rumors and now want to get out. They have no long range view, no understanding of the fundamental issues, and further have made no attempt to educate themselves. You would think once they got bagged on the rumor that they would at least investigate ATHM a little.
Yet the mantra is restated over and over - just do a deal, just do a deal, just do a deal. All the while, AOL skyrockets to new highs, well almost, and their investment in ATHM is dead money. Their good luck on owning AOL encourages these jokers into thinking they really know what it takes - just do a deal "AOL's management are masters at database management as it pertains to generating revenue", just do a deal "AOL are master marketers", just do a deal "AOL has 20 million eyeballs", just do a deal "AOL can get those trucks rolling", just do a deal "what's wrong with ATHM, don't they understand?".
The dialogue with these people is tiresome and repetitive. It's time for these jokers to put up or shut up, back up their assertions with substantiative evidence, and stop blaming ATHM management just because they won't make a deal with AOL. |
