I think AOL has a chance of smoking the estimates considering the numerous deals (with money terms) announced recently. I agree that the stock price may likely to pause though, unless they do something like doubling the estimates. However, I'd rather stay in for a roller coaster ride than having to watch it going up day after day if I miss the bottom. I had the unpleseant experience with DELL and I have had enough. Actually I finally bought DELL yesterday right after a 5-day consecutive rise from 90 to 113. I just bought for the heck of it. I want to be happy when DELL rises rather than when it falls, which happens a lot less often. I don't care whether the rise starts from 113 or 80, as long as I'm convinced that it will eventually far exceed 113. Raymond

<IMO, AOL has a good chance of running up till earnings but wasnt expecting it to fire afterburners.> I think some of the premium we're getting here is in anticipation of a split announcement like YHOO. off the record: I wonder why some people disregard the power of the split announcement. Sure, your only getting two nickels for a dime, but I've watched split announcements work magic for Dell, AOL, Microsoft, Lucent. In fact, a Microsoft split announcement is one of the most bankable market activities I know of. Still, I hear many "old timers" scoff at talk of splits..
