Smart Investor,

I think (and perhaps you agree) that the main questions are first whether you believe in the viability of AOL as a company in the face of short-term volatility in its stock price and second whether you believe that the cash flow generated by its business operations will justify continued growth in its stock valuation.

I happen to think that the answer to both questions is a qualified "yes." In other words, the case is compelling enough to make a long-term investment and see. Whether you buy at 135 or 140 or whether the short-term bottom is 130 are not as important, IMHO.

Of course, if you are looking for short-term profit, your considerations will be different. I am still studying how to invest for the short term as well as the long term.

For the record, I am an AOL shareholder, having recently acquired shares at a split-adjusted $52.
