I feel like we just went into a war, and half of us were just "mowed" down. This great thread we've had is losing everyone. These last 2 days have been horrible, but I'm riding this dog down to ZERO. I'm not selling. May be stupid...but I've done dumber things! Nick

>>..I sold all my AOL yesterday when it was down just $1...looking back it was a smart move...I didn't want to do it, just lost faith that AOL stock will have the type of gains in the future, that it had in the past...I was burned badly when I bought Compaq after it acquired Digital a few yrs ago...the stock has yet to recover..<< You were smart to get out when you did. I did not like the deal as they day wore on and I had ample time to think about it but just like the Compaq-Digital deal, this one between Time Warner and AOL has too many downfalls with outrageous or should I say obnoxious debt and detriment to the shareholders. I bailed out of this soon as the trading halt was lifted. Got out at 68. I too wish everyone well with this stock but I do not see AOL as being a profitable stock for a long long time to come. Frank

CGarcia...you do not have to apologize for selling. You did the right thing for you...absolutely! In fact you were smart to sell yesterday...instead of today! You could grow a lot of gray hairs waiting for this deal to have a positive effect on share value. I think we all see the writing on the wall. Good deal for CEO's and customers...bad deal for current shareholders.
