Aol will run at least 10-15 points from now till 1/19/00 for earnings so I guess you'll miss the train ride. Bye, Bye

Marvin, from your post it sounds like you do not own AOL stocks as of now. From your posts, I am also tempted to conclude that you are trying to cause a drop in the stock price to facilitate your entry into AOL. If that is your goal then you should go and talk to the fund managers since we are not the ones that could cause a major drop with our onesies/twosies trades. Furthermore, my experience on this board has been that we do not serve as a mouthpiece for hearsay info. If we come across some concrete and tangible piece of news, we post the URL link here for others to read and judge for themselves. So I would suggest that you maintain the dignity of the SI boards and spare them from being subjected to unsubstantiated comments and hype. A suggestion to you for a New Year resolution.

<<Now if there are some fundamental blockbuster news items between now and then (like a deal on broadband with T) then "all bets are off".>> And how likely is this in January, after their best qtr ever, 2 weeks before earnings, with an almost guaranteed Broadband deal coming out eventually ?? As I said yesterday, it very well could drop to $65....hell, it couldd rop to $50 for all I know. I still feel very confident that AOL will be much higher in one year. With this in mind, I'd rather hold, and buy more on the dips instead of hoping for a drop in their typically best time of year and then watch it run without me. If I were you Marvin, since you are a bull on aol, but simply feel there will be more downside...I would maybe do this - If there is downside, it will only be so bad at this level...we are not trading at $186, we are at $70. If it does drop into say the high $50's, I feel we will have a stampede of buyers. But with a 25% correction already and earnings, possible broadband news and etc.....I would make sure I at least held some now. Maybe you should take a position now, say half the shares you want. If it drops, you buy the other half and average down. If it runs, you can make a ton of cash and not have to kick yourself for not being in it...... Just some friendly advice....good luck to ya
