MSFT and others did go down after posting good numbers -- but they also had "cautionary words" for the market and were trading near or at all-time highs. I currently have a very small position in AOL...and hope that guy from mars is right and AOL is down dramatically cause -- at least so far -- I think I wanna buy more (for the first time in many moons). But when I see what RNWK did after their numbers, I sorta think any "dip" will be short-lived.

They missed the revenue and new subscriber estimates. They made the earning whispers but the revenue whispers were for 1.5 billion or more. Also they were expected to add about 800,000 to 1,000,000 new subscribers for a total of just under 18 million. The revenues were 1.4B instead of 1.5 and they added 755,000 new subscribers instead of between 800,000 and 1B. Since in AOL's case the earnings are inconsequential and more important is the revenue and subscriber growth, this one may tank tommorrow.
