You know the 50 free hours AOL is giving away will have to be paid back somehow. AOL calls an advertising expense of 10 million an advertising asset. In the end that won't fly. The "asset" will have to be paid back. All that is making the stock go up is hype. The increased subscriber rate is because of the free 50 hrs. \This will soon fade away especially when it increases it's "advertising asset". I wish I was wrong but this is soon to be another buggy whip company. Local providers are now giving unlimited internet access for $10.00 a month in Springfield, MO.(not a big town) Free e-mail providers give everyone no reason to stay loyal to AOL or any on-ramp provider. The providers have just turned into a commodities. You need to be looking at a Net Provider that provides proprietary information you can't get anywhere else. TSCN (Telescan)is an example. For me I'll buy put options when my stocastic indicator says its over bought. TT
