Vendit, "The Street Advisor" is utter trash, worthy of the finest Yahoo! thread. This was the same guy trumpeting the end of ATHM on Friday, only to see a $17 swing yesterday afternoon. And in my opinion, there is absolutely nothing specific or substantive in that piece you linked to. Nothing. Satellite TV displacing cable? That's a major, major reach. Maybe that is the source people in the post I referenced use. How sad. And again, for the record, I own both stocks. Nothing would make me happier than AOL going to 200. But I think too many people are working themselves into a lather, with the soap being an illusion or propaganda from the Street. AOL does not have much broadband at all at this point. They are way behind, but that is not a death knell. And remember--None of us have really made much money since the announcement was made, but the Street has made a lot! Think about it. G

it is my understanding (according to one of my patients that works with the telephone company)that all of the wiring must be fiber-optic and that each home requires a junction interface which will convert the signal from the fiber-optic cable to copper wire. Obviously, this requires much preparation and work just to initiate service. ADSL is handled through the office of the telephone company which makes it a logical choice. David as a PostScript, I wish they would get this interest rate cloud off from under our heads. Raise the rates a quarter point and get it done with. Otherwise, even if there is no rate increase for this quarter/month, it Specter will rise its head once again and continue to spooke the market. On another, unrelated matter, this comment/report from DLJ regarding Y2K was such an ubsurd report. While I am not the Fortune 500 company, it would be my assumption that most of these corporations would have already handled this Y2K issue and bring themselves into compliance. it was stated that 22 percent of the managers would have a lock down and not purchase any further equipment for the fourth quarter. However, on the other side of the coin, that leaves 78 percent of the managers who see no problem with purchasing additional equipment, which by the way would be Y2K compliant. Can anybody here provide any credence to DLJ's logic?
