Anette, Has anybody ever told you you worry too much ? Not to be picking on you or anything, but it seems everyday you are growing grayer and grayer by worrying about this stock. A little advice : AOL will go up or it will go down. Worrying how it reacts every hour on the day will do nothing for the performance of the stock. You should relax and realize that regardless of whatever it is you hope AOL does, it will do what it wants to do. I really don't mean to be picking on you, but I am simply amazed that people wonder what a gorilla is doing every hour on the day. In the long run, the gorilla will grow up to be big and strong. If you watch it every hour however, you will see the gorilla, rest, eat, catch a cold, rear a family, climb tree's and etc, etc. It will also react to other going's on at the zoo.....therefor, who leads a happier and less stressful life...the zookeeper that lets his gorilla do his thing without babying it so much and wondering about every sniffle he gets, or the zookeeper that lets his gorilla do his own thing and grow up to be big and strong. The 2nd zookeeper can let his gorilla do his own thing and put his time into other animals that need his care. The first zookeeper spends so much time worrying about the strongest beast in the jungle, that he neglects other animals that could possibly benefit from his time. Anyway, sorry about the long George of the Jungle Story, but trust me when I say this....forget about AOL. Come look at your gorilla every 6 months and see how much he grows and go spend your time on some other animals that need your help. Respectfully, KG

Annette, you wrote I hope AOL moves up a bit today...if everything takes off and AOL sits there I will scratch my head and say hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... On 10/1/98 AOL was at a split-adjusted $52/sh. It has been up and down since then and down a bit this year but it's still over $150/sh and recovering. There's been a lot of news about other internet stocks lately, which has sapped a little of AOL's strength by taking the momentum players out into other stocks. AOL has made a modest move upward today and I think it will continue to show moderate strength until the noise dies down a bit. AOL is strong because it has earnings and growth. Don't get discouraged. -musea
