Bought AOL at 96 this morning. If the rumored ATT price cuts, and the entry of DELL into the ISP market have you looking for a short, I suggest you take a look at MSPG or ELNK before AOL. What the market seems to have forgotten is that AOL still offers proprietary features and content that the mainstream consumer market still wants. If you are reading this SI thread during market hours, you are not mainstream. The only reason AOL was able to get away with their $2 price hike a couple of years ago (a move NOT matched by any other ISP), is that they offer more than just a commodity link to the net. You think my kids are going to let me discontinue their AOL accounts just because ATT cuts their price by $10 a month? I don't think so. But the days of the local mom and pop ISP shops, and even the smaller national ISP's may be numbered. jd P.S. It might be good PR for AOL to offer a token reduction in their monthly access fees, but a very bad idea to compete on price dollar for dollar. You get what you pay for. P.P.S By the way I have RoadRunner cable modem access which is beep-beep unbelievably faster than dial-up modem access. But I still pay $9.95 a month for AOL's bring your own access plan, and I see a huge move in that direction as broadband is deployed. Same reason I add HBO to my basic cable service.

David, You comment One thing to consider is the volume. Over the past several days, the volune has increased along with the loss of valuation We got the max recent downside volume on Monday with about 28 million shares. The average volume for the last month is around 19 million shares per day. Notice that today, AOL is back above 100 and we've already traded 17 million shares. If this keeps up, today will be a high volume upday and probably the beginning of a short term uptrend. Best, --Steve
