Gary, I thought the exact same thing when I was the trailer last weekend. I haven't bought the stock yet, because I've been trying to surmise the time frame around the movie to buy/hold/sell. It's interesting to think how much influence a movie can have on a company's stock performance, but since it really is written all over the film (from the shots of the AOL screen to the You've Got Mail voice) I think this movie is going to be a big boost. Not exactly TA thinking, but as Peter Lynch says, buy what you know. So far it's been a great stock (to watch), but I wonder how long it can hold. I think I'll buy it pre-split, hold through at least end of Dec. and then see how it looks after the end of the tax year. I see that you are also in DELL. I have a large (probably disproportionate) portion of my portfolio with them as well. How would compare the short/long term prospect of the two? As someone who is retired at 41, and lists investing and computers as your two hobbies, I respect your opinion. Michael
