PEG? It's easy to "grow earnings" by 100% when they are microscopic in the first place. We'll see if it happens. Don't count on it.

Peter; AOL is the evil empire of the intenet, feeding on nubies and babies..they count me in their subscriber list every time they send me a free disk. The insiders have made a killing off this stock, if they ever show a profit you can bet it will be some skewed figures, they have manipulated their SEC filings artfully..they got good PR..but they suck as an ISP, in fact they are not a true ISP..it's a sort on intranet inside the internet, a patched up bunch of old BBS type junk. If you get stuff from the internet ( it's cache paged to you ) and if you want an update you have to wait untill their creaky old system updates the page on one of their disk caches ) In spite of all the sorry crapolia and lies they tell the stock keeps climbing as shorts keep getting squezzed..these type scams and hypes can run for a long time. The stock is going via the image they create..it does not depend on internet users..in fact check profiles and you will find only a small percentage of SI users have AOL addresses, very small. Brain dead sheep who would not even use a computer see the slick adds on CNBC and call up their broker and buy the stock. It crashed before and it will crash again..but when ? Keep an eye on DIS..if DIS takes a good size dip then AOL will start her down trend. They are both in the entertanment business, and have the same type of retards buying into them. As long as DIS can sell her crap..I would not short this stupid stock. Jim
