another fact is that CIBC oppenheimer gave a price target of merely 135, instead of 200. that says sth too. BTW, AOL is up only 0.6% now. d.

Sorry Steve, but I must disagree. To say AOL is up less bcs of lower volatility is a farce. Check the trading days for the last month. On down days, AOL has been much worse (percentage-wise) than AMZN, EBAY and YHOO. On up days, also much less. Higher volatility (which I agree the others have) should also mean higher percentages to the downside on down days - which hasn't happened recently. AOL is suffering worse than the others... for all the reasons you stated as well as psychological factors... AMZN is clearly stronger here... BTW - AOL is headed to NEGATIVE territory yet again today - totally unable to hold any rally. Meanwhile, AMZN and EBAY are comfortably holding gains...
