What is "AOL's perception deficit"??? What does that mean? It's AOL's stock price that is deficient, and that is an actual concrete price drop---not a figment of imagination--nothing subjective there, just #'s. Think Joe is an SI lurker?

<<As Joe whatsisname just said on CNBC re: AOL, "maybe there's a lesson here, for some of the gungho on the AOL chatboards." The question now: How low can it go??>>

Joe what's his name should worry more about buying a GOOD rug, instead of how low AOL will go...AOL will be fine, his hair won't!

To prove that CNBC is bias on AOL, read the statistics:

Stock % drop from 52 weeks high
----- --------------------------
EBAY 41%
AOL 48%
CMGI 54%
YHOO 51%
ATHM 60%
AMZN 58%
SEEK 62%
ELNK 63%
AMTD 64%
LCOS 52%
PRGY 56%
EGRP 55%

That Joe something must be blind!

This is a very specific sector correction, not AOL alone, and we know
sector always correcting itself to digest the price before
going higher.

Internet is not like bio-tech, not everyone needs bio-tech drug,
but we need the internet today and more people need internet
in the near future, so the correction is not permanent like the bio-tech.

I have no choice but to stay with the internet leader to go into the 21 th century, nervous? yes, desperate? no.
