OK folks...bottom line is this. Keep things exactly as they are, except for one thing. Make believe that aol went up to $85 yesterday instead of trading down a tad.

Everybody would be screaming how great this deal is...how awesome of a company they will be. The godzilla of godzilla's. But change one thing....a one day price fluctuation, and it changes the sentiment completely to the flipside. I see alot of longs on this thread that are saying they are unhappy. I know you folks well, and I guarantee many of you would be doing the aol happy dance had aol gone up in share price yesterday.

Folks, yall are looking at a one day performance instead of looking at the big picture. Yesterday meant nothing...whether we wen't up or down, it meant very little. Many of you will say it represents the consensus opinion of the deal. Hogwash. The consensus opinion in places where it matters is that this was an awesome deal. The sheer size and scop of this deal simply causes folks to stop and digest. Yesterday was as predictable as could be. When everybody was saying "here comes $100 at 8 yesterday morning, I posted that we will see up, down up movement, with a much lower opening then the high pre-trading numbers. This is a big merger. a Huge deal. So far things have gone just as they should. Long term this is nothing but good, and I am sorry that many of you look at one day of price movement to form a conclusion on the biggest deal of the century <ggg...havent been many so far, huh...), rather then looking at what has just transpired and what it means in the larger scope of things.

I like the deal and see the benefits and see the new company as being the largest company in the world one day.
