I can get on. I just can't get anywhere once I'm on - without getting constant "too many requests pending, try later" messages. What is the advantage of AOL anyway? Slower internet, limited content, sleazy chat rooms, annoying in-your-face "offers" --- Aloha AOL. That's $120 a year less for them. At their multiples, that should be good for taking about 1/2 point off the stock price.

Yeah, but it's hard to make any money that way. This ain't a spectator sport.
And, I always buy options with a lot of time -- January '99 is a whole different era away from the bizarre one we're now in. Plus when it goes against you (for awhile), like this week, after the initial hit, the time premium kind of holds at a certain level in a volatile stock like Amazon Con.

Good weekend to you.
