Rocky, if you're going to make money you have to anticipate the future, not bet on the past--just a single credible indication that subscriber growth is slowing or that ad revenues are continuing to fall and this stock is in the toilet, love or no love. . .

Rocky -

Three thoughts on AOL and in general:

Stocks may be priced independently of earnings for periods of time, but over the long haul, Wall Street loves only earnings.

Holding past your strike point may only give you an opportunity to be holding the bag when an earnings warning pulls the rug out.

A high percentage of institutional holdings is not necessarily a sign of stability for a stock. The institutions can bail quickly in response to adverse news.
