I don't know my friend...all I can say is place a market order for the open and pray to God the market makers don't run the price up to $100. If I were buying, I would be very grateful for anything under $100 a share. This merger is history in the making and revolutionary! In regards to Brian's response about not using a market order. I disagree, at times like this it is precisely when you want to use a market order. If the stock falls beneath the open price any time soon I would be absolutely stunned. Anybody who sells AOL today is an idiot (unless they need the money of course) so there will be huge buying pressure and don't look for the stock to look back with earnings right around the corner. Separate from the merger transaction, America Online and Time Warner also announced new marketing, commerce, content and promotional agreements that will immediately expand various relationships already in place between the two companies. These include: The AOL service will feature Time Warner's popular InStyle magazine, expanding on the popular content Time Warner already offers AOL members from People, Teen People, Entertainment Weekly and other content currently on the service. CNN.com and Entertaindom.com programming will be featured prominently on various America Online services. AOL members will have access to a wide range of Time Warner promotional music clips from Time Warner's unparalleled selection of popular artists. Time Warner and AOL MovieFone will participate in online-offline cross-promotion of Time Warner movies and related content, including live events. Broadband CNN news content will be distributed on AOL Plus, the rich media content offering designed for AOL members connecting via broadband, when it launches this spring. Time Warner will offer a number of special offers exclusively for AOL members, which will include everything from discounts on magazine subscriptions to premium cable subscriptions and movie passes. Building on the companies' current offline cross-promotional activities, including keywords on popular magazines like People and Teen People, Time Warner will dramatically expand cross-promotion of AOL in a number of their top offline media properties. The popular Warner Bros. retail stores will promote the AOL service, including through the in-store distribution of AOL disks. Time Warner will include AOL disks in promotional mailings and product shipments. America Online will make available on Road Runner popular America Online brands and products, including AOL Instant Messenger, Digital City, AOL Search and AOL MovieFone. The companies also said, with respect to broadband access, that AOL Time Warner will be committed to ensuring consumer choice of ISPs and content and that they hope this merger will persuade all companies operating broadband platforms to provide consumers with real choice.
