AOL reported that it took 125 days to reach the level, and likened the growth rate to that of last summer, when it took 133 days to add 1 million to reach 13 million subscribers. But while AOL's membership growth rate has slowed somewhat during the summer months (which was expected), its usage metrics continued to impress. Currently AOL has 1.1 million simultaneous users vs. 718,000 a year ago. Over 67 million e-mails are sent per day vs. 34 million a year ago. Over 475 million instant messages are sent per day vs. 283 million a year ago. Additionally, more than 50% of AOL accounts are online at least five days per week--29% are using the service everyday. AOL's President, Bob Pittman, said that the company plans to continue its momentum with the launch of AOL 5.0 in the fall. AOL shares were up on the positive news, closing higher by 2 9/16 (+2.70%) to 97 1/2. In other tech news, the number #2 online brokerage company, Etrade (Nasdaq:EGRP), announced that it would team up with Reuters' Instinet to provide online investors access to after hours trading. Beginning in September, Etrade customers will be able to trade between 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM EST. Etrade shot up on the news, closing up 3 3/8 (+12.56%) to 30 1/4.<<

Mark, >I'm long 2700 shrs. at the moment and plan on scaling in again on two closes above 106...when Amzn makes it to and breaks through 126 on decent volume or closes above this area twice; i'll scale in more again. Over 140-142 then your toast! this will be the last time i give direction for amzn until these targets are hit....< Could you please explain what you mean by "scaling in again"....does that mean you'll be buying more AMZN when the above happens? Thanks! Libbyt
