What sell on news? Look at eBay! It is up almost 100 points after earning announcement. If eBay is worth 300, and YHOO is worth 360, AOL should be at least 500.

Meld,

You suggest that Anyone who is educated in finance, financial markets, fundamental analysis, and/or technical analysis is probably the one missing out on all these gains right now.

Ah, another graduate of the ignorance-is-bliss school of investing, a school that was well-attended at the height of the market in 1929.
Best,
--Steve

Mindmeld,

Most investment professionals advise....to buy and hold...

I agree with the purchase...but why are you "week trading"?

Look at the New age fundamentals of AOL...do you think..we are all going to abandon the stock...next Monday...??

consider holding .....not churning your Technical/Internet portfolio... and if you have't already, get and read some of the latest books: Gorilla Game/Motley Fool Rulemakers/Breakers...to "refresh" your skill set...

good luck....and happy to see you "break free"....from the prison of your education!! Just don't toss it all out!!

smile....Mary

Hey Steve, I'm out at $171.75, for a $10.5 gain in less than 24 hours.

So my conclusion from my little experiment is that insanity rules. Therefore, I'm going to start building a cash position. When the reckoning comes I will be here with cash in hand ready to buy.
