In fact, since you bring up friendly wagers, now would be as good a time as any to
review that bet. You said that IOM at $24 (and today at, er, $24) represented a much
better investment than Overvalued Tulip Inc. at $65. Today OTI, having merged with
Bigger Idiot Corp., is now selling for $83. Too bad for you, but like I said, you'd never
know what hit you.

hey steve,nobody likes a show-off. didn't your mother teach you that?

Steve -

Like I posted before, its obvious that the bears on this thread will discount everything you, or I, or any bull posts. It is fun to read the banter though :) I think they call it emotional investing, or maybe its called tunnel vision, or maybe they remember wincing when they had to cover their short....

BTW, cable access has a long way to go before it reaches the masses. I don't even want to get into the configuration problems. Your talking about a nation that can't even program a VCR...

Bears keep telling yourselves that AOL will see $40, and read this thread - its a confidence boost. Maybe $40 after a split...

S.

I usually hate to bet with the crowd, which is why I hate Iomega. But, when I compare the intelligence of the AOL bears here with the lack thereof of the Iomega bulls there, I feel alright about my short on AOL.
