Jack actually he is paying attention to his own stock. His business model depends on a certain percentage of AOL users signing up for his long distance service. When the high percentage he expected obviously did not materialize, assuming the total AOL users increasing by 70% still serves the same purpose. If neither assumption comes true, TALK is probably heading to single digit.

Daniel M. Borislow (chairman of Tel-Save Holdings Inc.)told CNNfn he wouldn't be surprised to see the No. 1 online company sold next year to Bernard Ebbers' WorldCom.

That has to be the stupidest thing that I've read in a really long time. It's ludicrous.

But then again, what do you expect from Borislow? Didn't he give AOL $100 Mil to advertise his long distance services? Idiotic!

I tried to short TALK yesterday, but no shares available.

AOL 17 million subsribers in one year? Get real. Especially after that PC magazine report. Borislow is trying to justify his blunder of giving AOL 100M. His Board of Directors must be on a$$. Notice that Wall Street is not paying attention to him.

Good Luck to all.

jack,
After a couple of hours of research, it is clear the man was talking from an orifice other than his mouth.
Had to check it out though.

Thanks,
