Insiders regularly sell shares....for many different reasons. Insiders are selling at an awful lot of companies, not just AOL. Additionally, that MASSIVE stock buy back program is more telling then insiders selling. heck, if you had millions of shares, you would sell too....at all different prices, at all different times....for all different reasons. However, a company share buyback tells me the company feels it's stock is worth more. heck, they could take those billions of dollars and buy anything they want....lots of quality tech has been beaten down to single digits....but their not....they are buying their own company because they feel AOL will be the internet/media giant of the new world. That says an awful lot more to me then insiders selling. If I was part of a company and had zillions of shares, I am sure I would be selling as well, regardless of what I thought the company prospects were....I mean, what good are all those stock certificates? Can they buy me a House on vail mountain? Can they send me 4 kids to grad school....what about that lear jet I want so I can go back and forth from my house in europe to my house in Aruba to mt place in New york.......? No they can't......but cash can, and those stock certs need to be sold to meet the above objectives. And lest face it...you only live once...if you have millions and of shares, certainly you will want to live to good life...selling shares periodically....with that many shares under your belt, you could sell an awful lot and not even put a dent into your actual holdings. Big differance IMO, when individuals sell and companies buyback......with all that said....lets hear some price targets for aol... jan 02 = $58.00 jan03 = $75 jan 04 = $120 just my opinion, and I hope realistic
