<<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? >> It hasnothing to do with being nervous or timid. This thread has a bunch of class people....people that gladly accept negative analysis...IF it is presented in the proper manner and with proper intent. I suggest you go re-read your post, you will see why people react the way they do. And what is this "claimed longs" crap. You are suggesting that some folks claim they are long, when they are not. My experience shown me that folks like you that think others are lying, are very familiar with the act of lying themselves. You lie so much, you just assume that others do to. Your probably one of those folks that always say your long after a $5o gain and say your short after a $50 drop....you never say what you are doing beforehand. Anyway David...best of luck to you....I dont get the shame on you part of your post, as anybody that has held aol for awhile is sitting on a very nice gain, but then again, I wont waste much time trying to figure you out. I will say this...I hope you go short and hope you get what you deserve.

"please tell me what you can do on aol but you can't do on yahoo." Alot more people on the AOL community than are on Yahoo...I presume you don't have kids(teenagers)...If you did, you'd see why AOL will be the internet leader for a LONG time...Most people who own computers don't know the difference between AOL and the internet, in fact, most probably think AOL IS the internet...While this may be a sad statement about how computer smart most AOL users are, the bottom line is that everytime someone new walks into a computer store to buy a computer, they won't be asking for the internet, they WILL be asking for AOL...and once they have their AOL, there's no way in hell that their kids will let them give it up...Just check out the demographics...see how many switched to free isps, then see how many switched back to AOL...You might be surprised at what you find...though I'm sure not, and that's why I'll be holding AOL at least through the $250 range...Good luck on your YHOO.
