Looks like I missed the party. Was this just released? What kind of spin did they put on that piece of news?

Is it worth shorting this stock in the AM?

AD-COMMERCE REVENUE **DOWN** 15% VS. Q4: $68m vs $80m

Very good point Todd. Sequential ad revenues declined from Q4/1997. I have gone back to August 7 postings and tried to find without luck the increase in membership in Q4.

In the news release AOL said that marketing for Q1 was curtailed in order to improve infrastructure. Is this a spin to cover up that sequential membership growth has slowed as well?

Since AOL is depending on Ad revenues to compensate the cost of memberships, it seems that RED INK will be on the horizon.

LOOK AT THE BALANCE SHEETS: CURRENT ASSETS $373.6 M
CURRENT LIABILITIES $556.6 M

HOW IS AOL GOING TO MEET ITS SHORT TERM OBLIGATIONS? ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL?????

Good Luck
