Play of the day - CALL - 07/11/99 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AOL - America Online $128.25 (+13.00) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- America Online is the world's leading provider of Internet and online services. It currently has over 17 million subscribers between its two divisions, America Online and CompuServe. AOL Interactive Services product group operates the company's America Online service & manages the AOL Instant Messenger service, the AOL.COM Web site, and AOL NetFind. In 1999 it purchased Netscape Communications which brought the popular Navigator Web browser and the Netcenter Internet portal to AOL. That's not the only purchase this year either. In May they bought MovieFone Incorporated to add to an already commanding list of services. After a brief pullback Friday morning AOL rallied back with the market to close higher once again. Internets in general were relatively flat on Friday but investors were anxious to jump in near the close. This is because the earnings run is now in full swing. AOL is set to report after the close on July 22, with and expectation of 0.11 cents. They are also a possible stock split candidate. We mentioned on Thursday that there are not enough shares currently authorized to do a 2-for-1 split but they may consider either a shareholder meeting to authorize more shares or do a 3-for-2. Either way we are including them as a split candidate due to past history of such announcements in this price range. Look for momentum to continue this week as most investors still consider the stock cheap relative to its 52-week high which is still over $45 away at $175.50. Plus entry points are becoming extremely important now that premiums are inflating due to recent enthusiasm. Once again AOL was on the top for users and advertisers. It should be an indication that all is well heading into earnings. STOCKWINNERS
