FROM OPTION INVESTOR NEWSLETTER...(1/5/99) The last 2 days, AOL has been stuck with the internet rut on seemingly average volume given their addition to the S&P 500. Here's our take: CNBC reported that major index funds including Vanguard and Fidelity completed only 10-20% of their purchases of AOL, citing that they'll wait until the price comes down. Nice try, these 2 still need to buy 15-20 million shares to accurately reflect the index. Plus, rumors are still rampant that AOL will announce a split any day. They report earnings 2-9-99 but probably can't wait that long given they too have always split in the $120 range. A split announcement stampede and fund buying pressure would set up the equivalent of a short squeeze, just adding fuel to the fire in a huge price. Keep your chin up and hold on... it's about to run. TTFN PAS :)
