I think MSFT will do exactly what they are doing...teaming with others to give away PC's and discounted isp service. Thing is, AOL will do the same thing......It will be an equal playing field in that everybody will offer similar deals to try and snag biz. AOL has brand name when it comes to this type of format. I for one will not switch..... BUY< BUY< BUY at these levels......the tree is shaking but soon the big boys will be loading up again.......The shorts will cover soon.....aol is not going anywhere.

Also...I notice a whole bunch of these stock picking sites are issuing screaming buys for AOL right now. I don't put much faith in any of these sites, but it's still nice to see. This is all a game...if you didn't sell at higher levels, your foolish to sell now, when hopefully much of the downside is past. I knew we were near a bottom when our old faithful cheerleader bailed on half his position ( Robert Duke ). We may still have more downside as I don't feel all the weak hands have been shaken yet, but next year at this time, $85 will seem like a bargain. I hope Robert Duke sells his other half so we can get the rally started. In the spring we are going to start a thread dedicated to Robert Duke....he can go there and whine about not selling at $150 and selling at $85 instead...then he can whine about not buying back in in time.....Well, at least we don't have to put up with his fly by night forecasts that change every time he reads somebody elses opinion. Sorry Robert....just couldn't resist !
