I find it interesting that AOL didn't pop up 2 points at the open on the B&N news. AOL's news-release-a-day policy may be wearing thin. AOL is looking awfully top-heavy at 85. The last few days have had lower highs, even in a generally strong market. My guess is that we will be visiting the 70s again soon. John

What an interesting spin on the Barnes & Noble press release. So basically B&N is a predator of the book world, while Amazon.com and Borders are all daisy. Desperation turning into $40 million dollars. Let us not forget that Amazon will have its own little nook on the Aol.com site. Just keep the money flowing to AOL, the "BBS" with over 10 million subscribers... I'm still waiting for the day that people will catch on that AOL is a piece of junk. Problem is, we can't stop those damn people from signing on! S.
