You have got to get a load of the YAHOOS on the AOL thread. At first
I thought it was a parody, but it appears these guys are serious.
This would make wonderful stuff for a real live study of the
"greater fool" phenomenon.

Here's a taste

Why chase DCLK when you can buy AOL now and make guaranteed profits.

Yeah, but I can let the stock rise up to the 130's which it is guaranteed to do and then sell off and at
least take a small profit. It's better than letting it sit in worthless IOM. I can always buy back into
IOM later when it sinks down to $8.

Damn!!! I sold off my shares at 116 thinking better safe than sorry. Looks like I shot the load
prematurely. I'm thinking about daytrading this one at least. Should do $140 per share easily for a
nice profit.

My broker just called and said the stock would hit $130 tomorrow, and $150 by the end of the week
or early next week, and $180 before the split. I'm going to put all my life savings into buying this
stock, I just told all of my friends to buy this stock immediately. We'll be rich !!! You can't miss !!!

I agree with oil2olay. I sold off that stupid IOM crap today that I lost 40% of my portfolio on. Bought
2000 shares of AOL at $124 3/4 and I'm letting it ride. Looks like easy money.

AOL 4.56 -5.89 FY 2001 THAT WOULD MAKE UP FOR THE PE. COVER FAST. REAL FAST
UNLESS YOU LIKE LOSSES. IM NOT HERE CAUSE I HATE YA. BUT THE TRUTH DOES

They don't call it Yahoo for nothing
