Bridge - I would not rely on that source. They only made 32% last year! "The-Adviser.com - - - Our 1998 Stock Picks beat the S&P 500 Index. Our picks were up 32% for the year. "

read the article and generally feel it is accurate. I do think that unless the overall mkt corrects by 20% or more, there is little to no chance AOL will trade at 60/share. Pruguy, you challenged me a couple of times to give any fundamental reasons why the business fortunes of AOL might be subject to any changes for the worse. That may not be the exact wording, but that was the idea. That was not the idea. The idea is that this company has faced stiff competition from well respected marketing companies from day one. They have been flexible and smart enough to always be five steps ahead of the next guy.....My point is that I think that doesn't change, and that is where I was looking for evidence that they are loosing their industry leading innovation. I don't believe that evidence exists, but possibly others do. Time will tell. Been long for a long time and will continue to be....Good luck to theshorts betting against the gorilla. you will need it, as we all do
