I own AOL stock and subscribe to the point of view that AOL dominates its market and is the premier pure-play Internet stock. In my opinion AOL gets better every year and is hands-down a better package than any of the numerous ISPs and online services I have tried over the years. I have been an AOL member for 5 years and especially like that I can use it to communicate easily with scores of nontechnical friends and relatives who are also AOL members.

The stock is definitely not for those unwilling to take some risks but it's hard for me to understand the anti-AOL sentiment often seen on this board. AOL's merits are mostly ignored which makes me wonder whether people here are just self-selected AOL-haters or actually fair-minded investors. Haven't we heard enough of the AOL-will-get-killed-by-the-web arguments? AOL's market share among home users is nearly 50% and GROWING; does anyone really doubt AOL's product? Also, isn't it the case that a lot of you would say AOL is overvalued at any price because you don't like (or don't understand?)investing in a market share-driven company operating at the beginning stages of its industry's development; many of you seem puzzled that the stock doesn't crater. You keep wondering what is wrong with the rest of the world... why don't all those dummies agree with you? It's time to take an honest look at AOL. You'll see a great investment opportunity.
