You are right Michael, that is why I am long in AOL. But I find it important to know that they are not in the same position as a Micosoft or a Cisco. For that reason, I hold the stock more lightly than I do a gorilla, and will get out quicker.

The argument that everyone can do what AOL is doing is flawed. Many people said that about WalMart for a long time, so far nobody can duplicate WalMart. In my opinion, AOl is in a business with higher entry barrier than WalMart. In the long run, AOL is in a very good position to take advantage of the internet "explosion".
