Technology Stocks : America On-Line (AOL) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I don't know if T has the market cap to get into a hostile bidding war for AOL. Considering AOL's market cap is larger than T's (sometimes a little smaller based on where the stocks close), can T sustain a bidding war for AOL?

That stock selector site is well known for floating all sorts of rumors. Didn't they float the one about AMZN buying NAVR a while back? Look where that got the super-stock (NAVR).

1. T has too much debt at this time
2. Mr. Case along with other friendly large holders control enough stock to make a hostile takeover of AOL futile.

IMHO

I sold at 72 11/16.

T will not buy AOL. T hates content.

Good luck to AOL longs. I still plan to visit!

Regards
Jay
