"This stock trades on revenue growth". Revenue growth is slower! 45%!

"---but AOL is cultish--" You may be right, sir and that my friend is what scares me about Wall St. these days when so-called analysts in collusion with large institutions ( 70-80% of AOL shares supposedly in their hands) and AOL management (who supposedly suggest they have no explanation for the astronomical stock appreciation) are driving up the share prices of companies without underpinning fundamentals. I wonder if Mr. Warren Buffet's office follows SI threads. I would like their insight on such issues. Wall St. wake up!!!!

Bob, nothing keeps going up up and up. Sooner or later the reality hits the street and the market gives a fair value for the stock. How many example do you want me to give you? MU, SHVA, ASND, COMS, PAIR, ... As I mentioned earlier, a high flying company like AOL -can- keep going up up and up, if it can prove itself by coming up with impeccable earnings every quarter -not by cooking up books-, by real earnings. They have already warned the street about the next quarter, how they would try to meet the low end of the street estimates for the next year. You just can't keep flying high on low fuel. What goes up on hype must come down. Prakash
