AOL....hmmm, went in at 66....good call to alert us to a small pop if you ask me, Rande....just a touch early.

On mergers, My experience has been that mergers of two large companies has a negative impact on the resulting stock. I've always steered clear of them. I think AOL/TWX will thrive, but near term prospects for the stock I think will be pretty volatile. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious. -Robb

Re: AOL/TWX Swap Well, folks. . .there you go. . . .a wrong call. AOL has moved lower and is still selling with high volume. . . the bad part is that it is dragging TWX along with it. . . .looks like we'll have to wait this one out. The TWX discount has fallen into the 12-13% range. Trading in AOL for TWX yesterday looks good today. If you started with 100 shares of AOL, you're better off by ~$250. Swap looks good, Rande. Your call lessened the pain, at least. P.
