S M -- I have had a few successful AOL trades and a few not so good LOL! It takes very little to make moves--- some are big and quick,,, which can be good or bad. Gotta be nimble and have a strong stomach-- watching every tick helps too <ggg>

Disney advances on positive Barron's story By David B. Wilkerson, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 12:21 PM ET Jul 26, 1999 NewsWatch BURBANK, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Walt Disney shares rose on Monday after an upbeat cover story on the entertainment giant appeared in Barron's over the weekend. The Dow component (DIS: news, msgs) rose 7/16 to 27 1/4 in recent trading, bucking the weak trend of the broader market. See Market Snapshot. The article said Disney shares, out of favor for several quarters due to weakness in its merchandising and broadcasting divisions, could turn around if there's even "a whiff of an earnings improvement." The magazine quoted an observer as saying the company's many assets are too "inherently valuable" to allow the stock to stay in the 20s. Barbara Hourihan, first vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, told CBS.MarketWatch.com on Monday the stock "will see better days." "I think their earnings momentum begins going forward soon," she said. "I think by year-end the stock will have turned up." Hourihan also called Disney "one of the few blue-chips I can buy here and not feel like I have a whole lot of downside risk, yet still have the potential for upside momentum."
