HARMON on audioinvestor......AOL (NYSE: AOL) is like an iceberg according to Internet analyst and money manager Steve Harmon, CEO of e-Harmon.com. While the public just sees the "top of the iceberg" when looking at AOL, in reality this company has a very stable position deep into the Internet business world which many ignore. AOL has millions of subscribers, but in reality is a well run service company - versus being a technology company - so is somewhat protected from competition as management can "change gears" to meet changing customer demand. Netscape.com and the Netscape browser also add bulk to the company, making in a "massive" force to be dealt with.

Howdy do Jon, mah Aunt in SF has been jumpin all around on diff free ISP's. She is now an expert on them and always comes back to AOL. Plus she likes the fact that she and I can do Instant Messages in real time as opposed to just email. I imagine there are a lot of folks with friends and family that feel the same way which should provide the so-called "stickiness" to AOL. I think it bodes well for AOL longs for sure. Good investin to you too, best regards, Dep
