Comments on October 25, 1996 AOL, the No. 1 online service with about 6 million subscribers, has had similar problems and has seen its stock price fall over the past several months. Wall Street analyst David Rocker, head of New York hedge fund Rocker Partners, was recently quoted as saying AOL is "the most overvalued stock in the market." zdnet.com ------------------ From: mgscheue@io.com (Mark G. Scheuern) Newsgroups: alt.aol-sucks Subject: AOL "most overvalued stock" Date: 16 Jul 1996 06:49:27 -0500 Organization: Illuminati Online Summary: WSJ on AOL stock Keywords: AOL,sucks, stock,overvalued Some interesting stuff in today's "Heard on the Street" column in the Wall Street Journal: "David Rocker, head of Rocker Partners, a well-known New York hedge fund, considers America Online (which sank 8.4%,or $3.25, to close at $35.25 yesterday) the most overvalued stock in the market. He says that America Online is making the same mistake made by Apple Computer 'seeking to maintain a proprietary architecture,' while rivals have 'embraced the open standards of the Internet.'" "Moreover, Mr. Rocker says, America Online's 'cancellations are running 1.4 million per quarter, net new sign-ups are way down from last year's level, and the company reported $14 million in net income for the last nine months only because [it] capitalized $200 million in marketing costs. The president, brought in with great fanfare, left after only four months.'"
