Great post ROTFL!!!!

I think AOL is great, not perfect. Case is doing OK in his struggle to create a business model, a reliable network, and a valuable and varied content that the mass market in America will turn to day after day. Its a tough job -- A WHOLE LOT TOUGHER THAN PASSIVE INVESTING, TRADING STOCKS, ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKING. A number of the people posting around here seem so short sighted as to think corporations exist solely to make the shares go up each day. Real life in out there in the marketplace with contracts, employees, cash flow and risk ... not on this screen. Isn't this a great country!!!

On the other hand with my investable capital which I worked hard to accumulate I'm not willing to take the passive risk with a AOL investment right now. Maybe next time it tanks I'll be back in because I think AOL will be around and doing well for the next 100 years or so.
IMHO
