Lunch time notes: 1. AOL increases the rates to 21.95/mo. Stocks sets new high. Mohan buys March 105 calls. (yes it is true, the Borg got me. -g-) Any how, I want to get on board with the short-squeeze. 2. To reduce my risk, I sold my HWP calls before buying AOL calls. Bottom-line, I want to stay on the side of insanity, just in case. 3. Bonds are pulling back big. LB rate up 4.2 bps. Don't know what gives, but it sure is bearish for stocks. Stocks are pulling back on very light volume. Some call it consolidation. I think we are at the brink of a huge swing. The question is up or down? I hope it is down. But if it is up, I am hedged a little bit. Please note - we are not talking fundamentals here. They no longer matter to this market. -g- -Mohan

February 9, 1998 Pacific Bell Internet: Response to AOL Price Increase We are aware that AOL has announced that its prices will rise, effective in April. We are currently assessing this industry move, and at this point in time we have no additional information. Pacific Bell Internet Services is committed to providing the highest quality Internet access to its customers, and we will share more information as it becomes available. In other words, "We haven't decided yet if we're gonna be able to get away with increasing your prices. Let's wait and see if AOL customers freak."
