I will short AOL and not YHOO.
I signed up for AOL a while ago for 30 days trial and left after 10 days. I was bothered by all the ads one has to go through before being able to read emails. The mail servers are slow, the web browsers are slow. The ISP I signed up later are much faster. I paid cheaper for the ISP and download stuffs much faster. Even though I won't have access to the magazines and talks, stock commentary, etc on AOL, I am satisfied with my current ISP since I can get most stuffs from the web. I am not sure if the millions of AOL subscribers will be an asset to AOL because they will not likely to stay once they discover they can pay cheaper to get web access while getting not much less service from other reputable ISPs. I think people are buying because of all the AOL ads run on the TV. I don't think this company will die soon but it's difficult for this company to live up to the street's expectation.

YHOO is another story. I use it every day. It's one of the web site you will come in contact with once you login to WWW. The services are getting better. More features are added to the quote.yahoo.com. It's the best way for a company to get visibility on the web by advertising on YHOO. It's difficult to compete with YHOO. Although currently it's overvalued, I think in a long run, this stock will be a star.
