AOL stock is just pure hype and momentum right now.
Of course the bears are not going to have an easy time
taming this beast, the longs will have much more down
side to worry about later on when all the hoop-la's
invariably come to an end. AOL stock
is hyped by the street, pushed by Web newbie investors,
and maybe a little squeeze of the shorts, and the big
"tulip" appeal of being branded the internet leader.
I agree with you and other bulls on one thing, AOL company
will survive. But that has nothing to do about the stock
price in this particular case.

Plenty of ISP's offer better service than AOL over POTS. All the AOL 'features' like content, buddy lists, etc. are available to anyone with an internet account anywhere...this is the whole point of the WWW, it's open standards and no one needs AOL's proprietary content. So they are an ISP, the biggest one. And a web site. And they offer bad service.
