Gee AOL could have bought ATHM, for 20 billion, and had access to 72 million homes It's like this: Why not get 13M homes, plus CNN, plus Warner, plus Time, plus... Distribution channels are key.

"Gee AOL could have bought ATHM, for 20 billion, and had access to 72 million homes. What a dumbass case is." Hi GP- Well, it's one of three possibilities: 1. He's a dumbass 2. AOL couldn't come to terms with ATHM's price tag. 3. ATHM IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!! I believe it to be door number 3. Now that T has its grip tight, it will never let go. Some future deals???...yes...it's foreseeable. I rather doubt that ATHM will go on the auction block, though. There was a time that I didn't want ATHM sold at any price. Now I might be convinced to say, "Let the bidding begin." I would like to know what that 70 plus million U.S. footprint is really worth, not to mention the global penetration. I just read around 150 or so posts. Talk about a marathon! The price has attracted new blood. The 23 million trading number shows we are on traders' as well as poster minds. Happy Easter! Ed
