Now...I'm getting concerned. Dow down 66, Nasdaq down 23. AOL almost unchanged...

WOW...Is there that much strength in this lowly company?

And...we begin sinking and all of a sudden a half decent purchase (30K shares) comes through...man...looks like someone is trying very hard to keep the price of this company up.

To Brent, who I wish would be more cautious about referring to so many other people as morons and idiots. There may come a day when you wish people would extend you the same courtesy, whether or not you deserve it.

Here is a simple test.

-- Company A(OL) is worth around $8 b to $9 b.
-- Company B is worth $120 b give or take $10 billion because it's been a while since I checked.

Which company is worth more?

Brent says, "Company A because it has a higher P/E."

Then Brent says, "They're worth the same because each one's stock sells for around $70 per share."

Then Brent says, "Company A is a pimple and the world has gone mad if it thinks it's worth even half of what Company B is worth."

How could I have misunderstood your point when you didn't succeed in making any?
