Thanks for your opinion. Agree that the market must hold up for much of a rise from here. I may miss it but I'm gonna wait.

Barry, if you go far enough to look at the posts before last Q earnings, they were talking of a split for AOL after the announcement as well; when the earnings came it did not happen. It could still split but the earnings will have to be good. Another thing that may work against a split is 81% instituitional holding; the splits are supposed to make stock buying easier for individuals who can't otherwise afford it, but the float is too small to care about individual investors and there is no incentive for institutions to hold two times the number of shares. Buta split could be bad for AOL's health looking at what it did to AMAT UTR CPQ etc
