Tae, I am not looking for agreement. Seems to be a new era in investing. The new era investment strategy, is going to be more like the pop charts top ten, than solid analysis. It does not matter if a company is ever ever going to make the money it is valuated at...as long as everyone is willing to bid it up and it has a good dance beat! I may have to come up with some new indicators...based on RAP music or something! Regards, LG

This is how we access the internet in my community....http://www.glasgow-ky.com HomeLAN is a service provided by the Glasgow Electric Plant Board that attaches Glasgow residents to a Local Area Network (LAN). This network allows our customers access to local schools, businesses and the Internet, all at high speeds. The system uses special data channels to transmit data to and from customer's homes via broadband cable (no phone lines are used), the same cable used to provide cable television programming. The Glasgow Electric Plant Board built a 550 MHz mid-split communication system, completed in 1989. Our bi-directional cable system operates similar to an interstate highway - having high-speed paths to and from our customers. Most other cable systems only distribute cable programming to their customers, like a one-way street. This is the main reason I don't get the fascination with AOL. What's the big deal? I can get unlimited internet access at speeds 60 times faster than the fastest phone modem all for $19.95. As I'm sure you can tell, no one in our area subscribes to AOL. There's really no need. You can pretty much find anything on the net that you can on AOL, for a much cheaper price. Maybe we're just ahead of the technology curve but if most areas adopt the same sort of internet communication links, I'd say AOL would be in a world of hurt.
