Crystal ball, Re:" BARRON'S ARTICLE ON AOL & AMAZON.BOMB of last week:
You said, "The only thing preventing me from doing a MARKET on Open
order is Barroning issues (AMZN) if you know what I mean.
Actually Barron's issue last week on Amazon mentioned AOL in a positive light. I don't think the full article has been posted. So here it is. First I highlight the part concerning AOL. ( This is contained at the end of part 2 ).
BARRON'S: " This line of reasoning usually ends with Amazon being compared to America Online. The idea is that Amazon can increase its customer traffic enough to
attract advertising dollars, just as AOL has. But there are some important
differences between AOL and Amazon. First of all, AOL provides a service
for which users get charged $20 a month. It also offers e-mail, which insures
steady traffic and is a pain to change once a client's friends and business
contacts have his or her address. Simply put, torpidity keeps a lot of
customers coming back to AOL.
AOL also has amassed what's considered to be the biggest audience of users
on the Internet, 16 million subscribers in all. Amazon has only half that many
clients, and most view the site as a retailer rather than as a source of
information or entertainment. That's why they don't tend to hang out on the
Amazon site for hours at a time the way they do at AOL ".
The article is in two parts. It will not post in it's entirety.
So I will first post this and then try in 2 or 3 subsequent attempts to post all the article,

you said:
AOL a GO-GO start of the Week. STRONG FINISH EARLYBIRD.
I have buy orders in on this one, kept my money it it LONG over the weekend,
which I try not to do, except my main holdings (NVDC, ABTL, GNET yet, CUST,
OPEN, NEOM, BNBN, BKS, CMGI, LCOS, NOVL I am).
What about you? I hear AOL 123 is in site, cause its easy as 123 for AOL to hit it,
maybe Monday. Others indicate AOL has done its mini-triple bottom and all
support is UP. The only thing preventing me from doing a MARKET on Open
order is Barroning issues (AMZN) if you know what I mean.
I am,
Truly yours,
