People here can talk all they want about "trailing PE," but all you really need to know is this -- a lot of people with a lot more capital than all of us put together just paid billions of dollars AFTER HOURS on Thursday to buy millions upon millions of shares of AOL. They have no plans on selling any of their shares. And they are not going to allow their newest investment to lose money for their funds. That would mean their jobs. In fact, they had enough power to short the stock down about 10 points off its high just so they could buy in at a lower price yesterday. In short, AOL is going up. Probably quite a bit more -- believe it or not. Sure it may take hits along the way. All stocks do. But AOL will not be below 160 for long. FWIW, I will be hoping for dips and buying those dips throughout whatever shakeout occurs. If any. JMO

Well I have a target of 210 by june 1. Every time I set a target price the stock blows right past it. god help us. maybe a 3-1 in jan.

bought at the split and NYSE listing at 60 - now 38. I live for the day SAP breaks out. Any thoughts on this? RGrey, the only place you are locked into SAP is in your mind! It seems like to hardest thing most of us have to learn is to cut our losses. Forget about how much money you are out on SAP and ask yourself this: If you had the money you have in SAP, in cash, in your account, would you invest it in SAP or in some other stock.? Make your decision based on that type of analysis, not on the fact that that you would be "out money" if you sold the SAP. You are already out the money. If you are in a taxable account, your loss would be offset by your gain in some other stock. Face that, cut your losses, and put the dough where you believe it would be best for you!
