1) The finalized NetScape deal will have no additional effect on the share price--there's nothing new about it.

Steve, although there is nothing new to the deal, there is institutional money on the sidelines waiting to see if and how AOL manages to digest Netscape. I don't think any analysts seriously question whether the acquisition will be finalized, but there are questions regarding such things as how the media and technology portions of their respective businesses are split, how much of netscape's web-based models are absorbed/merged into aol's proprietary systems, how the business models match up, etc etc. Until more is known about these things, much of the (non-S&P) institutional money will not buy into the risk of uncertainty. JMHO
