Has anyone talked or mentioned what copy protection clik! will have? I'm sure if it is successful, (I have no doubts that it will), Nomai and others will be more than willing to reap the profits of IOMs investment.

>>What about AOL???? Losing only half of its value under those circumstances would be its goal, and far more likely!<< There are just too many Big players who are in love with AOL. It's almost a rigged game at this point. It cannot go down much, regardless of what happens. It has never scored a profit, so there is little worry about not meeting numbers. Wall Street is in love with AOL, and its possible dominance over the computer-connected future. It would take Q after Q of disappointing numbers, and Q to Q proof of subscriber droppoffs for AOL to go down appreciably. Institutions hang onto AOL stock. Look, even during this latest tech meltdown, AOL hung in there tough and strong. Now, it is set to march upward as the market turns upward.

Trufflette: Several posts ago you requested the bull argument. Well, I would be the last person to make this argument, as I am probably neither bull nor bear - I am basically worried most of the time. Also I probably do not have the command of the facts as other do, although I have read most everything put forward these past months. In short, and no pun intended, this stock should go up long-term. It will face competition, which is inevitable, but it is well positioned and has name recognition. Its fundamentals look solid, as well as I can judge. It should have a solid quarter - but that is always worrisome. However, I do not see anything in the price movement suggesting something bad coming from that quarter. We are too far in front of the earnings statement. The recent fluctuations are probably a combination of things, IMO, most notably profit taking and short plays. I have never wathed the short action on a 10 dollar stock, so it would be interesting to see whether this makes a difference. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this. In any event, I will be holding up into earnings. I anticipate the market to turn south after the first week in January, although I do not have any specific date. At this time, it might be time to get out or go short, or merely not look at the stock until the summer sometime. I could of course be all wrong here, but for the moment, I am holding. Clinton P.S. Trufflette: is it possible for you to send the chart to which you were referring, perhaps attached to an e-mail.
