My Dear Haim, Why the hell you would address your quips to me is rather baffling, however I will attempt to answer in my own feeble way. Anyone that lets the manipulation and exacerbation of such a thing as 2 to 3 tenths move on the 30yr. bond, is a fool. This is nothing more than light volume and scare tactics by the houses to get all the stock they can before the six week run to earnings. I have intentionally taken myself off of the boards for the most part because of asinine statements such as yours. I will grudgingly predict the following. Market will move big time next Friday. Market will be right around 12,000 on the DOW by third week of Oct. For the record so you can see if I lose my ass or not, I hold the following. 10,000 QCOM 8,000 RNWK I invite you to meet me at my bank around the second week of Oct. Selah, From the porch, Voltaire

Haim, sir or madam as the case may be, you wrote: <, well, they deserve to be punished by reality and I will compliment them if all heir savings go down the drain. As they will learn a lesson about risk.> Shame on you...have you no decency at all? How dare you come on this thread or anywhere else for that matter with that kind of talk! You have raised this lil Southern dawg's hair on the back of mah neck for sure!! Did you work at being mean-spirited or does it just come naturally?? I personally wish everyone the very best and I apologize for this insensitive oaf. best regards, Dep

Dear HAIM, As school soon approaches, I'll be sure to keep your post in mind as I work with nine year olds on cooperative learning and how to benefit from the feedback and sharing of new ideas from others. In my classroom we encourage heated discussion on all topics, but in an atmosphere of mutual respect. This forum here was established under those premises. People in hurt don't need more. Peace Craig

Haim, what are you doing over here kicking on the anthill? -g- people who want to know about financial statements will learn them....people who want to speculate and call it investing will not care about it.... this is like politics and religion.....very unlikely to change many minds here..... i know you didn't mean to hurt any feelings... mike

Selected data from AOL 10-K (in millions) Cash flow statement items Year ended June 30 1999 1998 1997 Net increase in cash and cash equivalents $210 $486 $14 Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year 677 191 177 ---- ---- ---- Cash and cash equivalents at end of year $887 $677 $191 ==== ==== ==== Balance Sheet 1999 1998 Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $887 $677 Short-term investments 537 146 Other assets: Investments, including available-for-sale securities $2,151 $531 =========================================================== Haim. Suggest you learn to read a cash flow statement. AOL produced positive cash flows in last three years. Note that the short term and long term investments increased dramatically in the year ended 6/30/99. The $1.6 billion increase in long term investments in the "other assets" section is treated as a use of cash, and can rightfully be added to the cash flow provided in the year ended 6/30/99. AOL is closer to a cash-gushing machine than it is to the cash-poor, internet bubble stock you are trying to make it out to be. Hype no more, sir! Brian
