Garcia and all you claimed longs: i don't understand why you guys are so narrow minded to always attack anyone who posted some negative views by preassuming him/her a short? are you guys nevous or timid? as for yahoo does not have paid subscribers, isn't that buz model superior to aol's? you can see that yahoo's revenues only depend on its brand name which it does have without worrying about the loyalty of subscribers but aol is different. water can carry ship but water can also bury it. just because of this, everytime when we hear free isp kicking in, aol feels pressure, why not yahoo? on the other hand, yahoo has emerged as a media service as aol is that is far broader than it was as a search engine. please tell me what you can do on aol but you can't do on yahoo. I tried yahoo's free internet. it's fast enough to let me stop using aol. but i may be a special example because i usualy use my own bookmarks instead of aol's guiding service. PS: I wish I had shorted aol at 94 instead of buying put to hedge my long position. another PS for those riding aol from peak to bottom: cheat you one time, aol's shame; cheat you two times, your shame.
