America Online (AOL: news, msgs) drifted up 1/2 a point to 90 5/8 after a positive plug by Jamie Kiggen at Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette. Kiggen raised his September subscriber estimates for America Online to 975,000 from 900,000. This compares to 755,000 in June. Kiggen also reiterated his "top pick" rating for the Net blue chip with a $200 price target. Kiggen raised his forecasts for AOL's North American subscribers by 6 percent but upped his projections for International members by 28 percent. Penetrating the markets beyond the U.S. is high priority for all the major portals. Lycos (LCOS: news, msgs) and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. have formed a $50 million joint venture to provide local Web portal sites in more than 10 Asian countries. The companies will hold equal stakes in the Lycos Asia venture, which will offer local content and services in the principal language of the individual countries.

<"...to deliver a few more punishing body blows and see if it could loosen a few more shares from the long zealots,..."> Chung, I agree with that statement of yours. But I surely do not agree with all those who say this is the deathknell of AOL. In fact I am waiting to buy some more AOL myself, should it go down to around 80 (A big hope!!!) But surely I am not saying that AOL is dead because of free access etc. etc. CPI looks good. The futures ticker swings from -2.40 to +9.0 in 1 minute. WOW what a swing Happy investing folks.
