On Squawk box tommorow see how we like market selloffs Yes tommorow we will tell you how we got an egotistical nut case or analyst from Prudential Securties tell us how he one day later says that we are in a bear market. And we don't even bother to ask him why we should believe you after admiting that you were completly wrong only one day earlier. Yes you heard that right. Plus we will tell how market selloffs increases are ratings so we gear our programs to accelerate them. We don't care we are not allowed to invest in the market anyway. Do we abuse our power. We don't care were the media. We screw people over on a regular basis. We get a kick out making the whole market move. It makes us fell powerful and good. Our lives are so meaningless anyways this is how we get our kicks. Plus it increases our rating. Life is good.

780% growth? So does that mean if I make 1 cent one year and then 8 cents the next year, I am justified say I have 800% growth? Posts like that have recently have done alot of disservice to people. Reminds me of the morons who were buying those portal stocks like Lycos at $85 (the price I shorted at). I suggest you take a class in valuations and perhaps technical analysis. Touting this stock to $120 because of this earnings report is absolutely absurd. And if it does go to $120, call it a dead cat bounce. I like AOL long term, but if you think you can make 100% annum you have another thing coming to you. AOL is growing but its growth rate WILL taper as will it's stock price growth. The stock will be a buy after a correction. Every stock needs a shakeout. Admit that and you'll be one step ahead of the game.
