You seem very intent on beating this amzn, ebay, yahoo thing to death. Your point has been duly noted several times. I suggest you go run and buy amzn, ebay and yhoo and leave aol to us idiots that don't know any better. I do agree that amzn, yahoo and ebay have come back more then aol. For this exact reason, I would currently go buy the laggards right now...aol and cmgi. With amzn and ebay going from $70 to current levels in 30 days, I would think some mfolks may take some profits. Meanwhile aol and cmgi are internet bellweathers at discount prices. Anyway...no need to respond. As I said, your points on amzn ebay and etc..have been duly noted so hopefully we are done with this for now. Have a great day

--Bazmataz You ask about 5% gains comparable to AMZN or EBAY, When's the last time AOL had two consecutive days of gains like that? Back to back 5% gains for AOL are rare. Even one at a time they are rare. The last 5% or greater move was August 11, 1999 when AOL moved up 8%. Before that, it moved 7.2% down on July 26,1999. AOL is definitely much less of a rock and roll stock than it used to be. Expiration this month is a week from tomorrow. That gives AOL 6 trading days to move from today's close of about 96 to above 100. That would be less than one percent per day. Now let me ask you a version of the question you asked me. How long has it been since AOL traded over 0.5% on two or more days? The answer is, of course, every day. I'm just guessing about that 100+ number, but it's do-able. Best, --Steve
