Sure is. Earnings will be out in about a month, and that is what I have always maintained will drive this stock higher. Earnings expectations have been irrationally cut way back... they earned 48 cents last quarter, but they are only expected to pull half of that this quarter. I would look for Overture to blow away that reduced outlook and the stock will head back to the 30s. AOL mattered, but not enough to slice earnings in half! Besides, since AOL is now suffering as a result of their foolish partnership with Google, they may end up going back to Overture sometime soon anyway. The fear of Google's competition is quickly fading, especially as word gets around the PPC industry that Google clickthroughs convert at about 1/3 the rate of Overture's - meaning that advertisers will never be able to justify bidding as high as they do on Overture. The result? Overture provides a much more lucrative revenue stream for its partners than Google ever could - EVEN if Google survives the lawsuit against them.
