What do you mean by logical exchange? Is yours more logical because you have a diff. opinion? Yes I do have some at stake with AOL. I have not sold this year and still have profits. I have followed Msft. I have been a stock holder sev. times but decided to get out a while after the GVT suit. Does that mean I am blind to what's going on with AOL? Hardly. It's just that I am not convinced that AOL will go under. I had AOL when they got into trouble after offering unlimited service. I jumped ship then. Would I be happier today if I had stayed? You tell me. I went back in last year and made a decision not to bail unless things got really morbid looking. I own Intel and other cos. and I surely don't have to tell you how often some of those good cos. were dead meat supposedly. I am open to logical discussions but I am not prepared to throw in the towel. I look at what AOL is doing and what it could be doing in the future and I look at how my kids and grandchildren love AOL. If that changes, yes I probably would change my tune. But right now I need to see a bit more danger for AOL before I change my mind. Who knows, things could change next week. Do you think that I am staying in AOL just because I have a lot at stake with AOL? I could sell out. Like the saying goes. I am not married to AOL. But looking at AOL right now I am hoping it will be good to me in the long run. I am hoping that I will not be wrong. I am hoping that AOL will be one of theeee survivors of the internet. I just never get it why someone that does not own a particular stock is always so interested in saving us from ourselves. And then when they cannot convince us to sell it's called illogical. It's great that you got out before it got to this point. I did not want to pay the taxes. I am sorry you could not buy again at 80. I don't think that my sale would have done the trick. gg. Maybe you get another chance if you want it the way all those TA guys are talking. Sonny
