My comments aren't based on one day's performance. In fact, when I heard of the deal, before I even knew what happened to the stock price I wasn't happy.

I bought AOL as a pure internet play; a growth stock. Now, with the new conglomerate being labeled a media company it doesnt fit either description. This new company will have to work a helluva lot harder to make one day or one week moves like AOL has been known to do.

I'm no expert in fundamental or technical analysis but in essence aren't we diluting the possible growth aspects of our stock? Sure AOL makes a ton in revenue and grows incredibly fast on it's own (that's what I wanted) but now that is diluted with this noose around it's neck.

Just my thoughts.

PS. I'm out my long and I hated to leave but think it's time.
