That whimsical James Cramer of theStreet.com says AOL is a must own for next year.


Every team needs a power forward, a muscleman who makes things happen, isn't afraid to play
tough, and intimidates the competition. In this market that's America Online (AOL). The
Internet is here to stay. I have tired of people who tell me we don't know who the winners are
yet. AOL is a winner. It has huge revenue, giant marketing muscle, and the clout to make
people pay to run things on its site.

The knock on AOL is that users have to pay seems like nothing but jealousy. How terrific to
have that methodical revenue stream. Nobody else could even dream of charging because they
don't have the value added. Most 'Net companies are a crapshoot, but America Online has
proven management in Steve Case and Bob Pittman, and a level of vision that you just don't
find in most companies. When the advertising dollars start to cascade to the 'Net next year,
AOL will get more than its fair share.
