Well George, it depends on your investing time horizon. If you are playing short-term ( 1 year or less) it could be to your advantage, if you can buy on the dips and sell near the tops. If you can manage to time it. However if you are planning to keep AOL in your portfolio for at least five years or more. I would hold it and ride out the peaks and dips. It all depends how much you follow the market. If you follow it on a daily basis, you should be able to make some profits trading, while maintaining a separate position for the long term. Just speaking from experience, because that is what I try to do with my portfolio. DT
