I can't seem to get my mouth closed on this one. In the past three weeks AOL has gained about 2 Billion in market cap while the market has gone sideways. Why? Are they ready to announce "10 million sold"? What has changed? Swallowing flies, Joe

AOL at 91 is a bargain. The stock's real growth is still in front of it. That is, if you are a long term investor. AOL currently has 9 Million customers, with an estimated 30 Million customers on the internet worldwide. This is compared to 6 Billion people in the world. About half these people have a phone. If 10% of individuals with a phone get on the internet over the next 5 years (very realistic growth), then we're talking about 300 Million people on the net, or about 270 Million more people. AOL, at minimum, will capture about 25% of these people. In short, by 2003, AOL will have 100 Million customers, with revenues at minimum (not counting Ads) will reach 10 Billion dollars annually.
