It appears that the investment community is hedging their bet. Picking sides sort of speak but right down the middle. ISP, Aol vs free internet access. Drop some AOL shares and pick up the, for now "high flying" no charge internet suppliers..JMO Best to all for great holiday... TJHG

John, all large capital nut stocks rises and falls together with the nut sectors, AOL rose to $173 in 4/99 and down to $76 in July/August 1999 with eBay, AMZN CMGI in the $60 - $80, YHOO was in $100, so the pitfall is the same for all large nut stocks. Now, we must see the 1 year return at the year end to compare, you tell me with all the worries of AOL, what is the ROI? a merely 100% - 120%, and this may not be the fact in year 2000 because AOL has more than 2 billion shares without T's pipe and with the free ISP the growth will be slower, you may still get ROI of 100% but is that the only choice there? I am not spamming CMGI on this board, I just felt a bit sad that AOL is not as promising as I thought it would be and I can't depend on AOL for my early retirement... And I am fully qualify to retire now with CMGI.
