OK Steve, I give up. With analysts like Brian Oakes, and snake oil salesmen of AOL, how could AOL lose? Maybe we should tout that AOL will go to $ 300/share in the next 6 months. Afterall won't they have 10 million members by Christmas? That's half the population of Iraq.

I thought it might see low 70's just on the market sell-off. But the reaction to Nikkei and jobs report seemed tame so soon after the last hiccup. AOL is hard stock to figure whether you're a bull or a bear on the stock. Not knowing how earnings are going to be read by the crowd. I always like to play it shortly after earnings if there is a run-up. PLaying it right before earnings just seems like pure gambling to me. Technicals or fundamentals don't seem to mean anything around earnings.

>>the numbers next quarter won't be any more likely to create a >>rush for the exits. True. But then AOL's actual earnings reports almost never have moved the stock. The well-coordinated spin, including that of the analysts who never find any fault and spin any problem as a virtue, has seen to that. What moves AOL most is other news.

Steve, I dont think its over yet. 3COM was upgraded to a buy after earnings and they have been falling ever since. One of the reasons beening the accounting COMS used in their last Q. I think the same might happen to AOL. I think AOL will hit 60 before it hits 100. I know nobody uses risk / reward investing in todays bull market. Maybe they should.
