Welcome back Tang. And CGarcia, yes you are very close to breaking even. The fact of the matter is that AOL like other B2C stocks such as AMZN, EBAY and even YHOO have reached a saturation point for next year and as Tang has mentioned, yes AOL returns will be lower by the year but one thing I feel is certain is that it has matured, stabilized and is a good long term hold such as INTC, MSFT, CSCO, SUNW etc. Along with YHOO it is a established Inut. Others being mentioned such as CMGI, ICGE(I have some), CMRC(I have some and waiting for the kill after Jan 1) and other B2B stocks have a potential for large return next year. But there are risks also. Not all B2B have such good returns. I have lost on VERT which is also a B2B. So AOL is a very good long term hold, sure and steady rise. Can leave for a vacation in Europe and leave my money in AOL without the fear of a large and sudden drop. Not sure about other stocks such as CMGI etc. etc.

CG, QCOM is splitting on either Dec. 30 or 31. Keep an eye if there is a quick sell off after the split. John
