Sharon, I think AOL is a fine, fine, fine investment. I own it. There has been lots of talk about AOL's business model being destroyed by the net. I just don't think it will. 1. There are plenty of people who need to be spoon-fed the rich, well-organized environment that AOL provides. Online penetration in the US is still only around 11%. 2. AOL has embraced the net, and thru deals such as the one with AT&T will save immense sums in network overhead costs by being accessible thru AT&T's net connection. This will allow AOL to reduce their costs to subscribers substantially. 3. AOL continues to gain share in the online arena. 4. AOL has become a global enterprise. It has also become a LOCAL enterprise thru it's rollout of services specializing in various metro areas (DC was the first). 5. AOL's integration with Microsoft Windows is a huge plus, saving them in the areas of software distribution (either thru disk/CD distribution, or paying PC makers to pre-load AOL software) 6. The Microsoft and Netscape deals saves them millions in browser development costs. Buy it and hold it.
