Certainly I should have bought the stock when the original CD appeard in my mail slot when the stock was in the 20s 20/20 hindsight. If we could turn back the clock, I would be at the Virgin Island with three bonita senoritas and three giant margaritas. Unfortunately, could've, would've and should've. The question is who would buy AOL at this level? There are over 7,000 stocks to chose from, would you pick AOL over DELL, IBM or MSFT? At least these three companies have solid earnings and balance sheets, and not nosebleed PE. Although PW has a target of 91 and UBS 100 (based on what? Earnings growth?), many times those target prices are never met. Remember when the truth of AOL is understood, don't be the last one to get out that sinking ship. It is better to be a rat and be alive than a hero down with the ship. Good Luck to all. Paul.
