Babe Ruth was known to strike out quite a lot. But I'd still rather have him on my team than be playing against him. Of course there are no sure things. To me, that says all of those bears who are so sure AOL will plunge are the ones who need a reality check.

>With all due respect to you and Mr. Sorros, he bought a lot into a now defunct co. called Gandalf as it was about to die (per info on then Ganadalf thread). < Let's not forget his foray into Iomega. The morons on the IOM board got really whooped up about that one. Fortunately for his funds, he was entirely out of the position by the time IOM's world got rocked. As many times as not, Soros (really Druckenmiller) is a momentum player pure and simple. And, in this market, who the hell can blame him, especially when news of a Soros investment is enough to drive the stocks up another 10%?
