<<AMZN doesn't have any exposure to the Japanese capital market, I'd better buy. Holy mother of spam, VIAS doesn't do any business in the North Pole, so they won't be affected by the increasing ozone problem, I'd better put in an order right now! Etc. Etc. >>

The difference is my grandma has never heard of those stocks, and you haven't had every major brokerage in the country covering them for the last 3 years. AOL is an institutional stock, and the others aren't. So AOL was most likely among the companies I know to be the target of the much-ballyhooed "flight to safety."

(Actually, my grandmothers are dead, but you get the point.)
