Well... to me the risk...is merely that it will not go through...and I am sitting hold a pot of 555 Xcit shares.... now....that is okay.....with me! meanwhile.....if it does go through.....I have an extra 78 shares of ATHM for the same bucks..... kewl! (did the same with netscape...and should have about 1500 shares of AOL (pre split)...once my Netscape/AOL is combined... Could convert another 144 shares of AOL ....but it is in my personal account...so between the tax implications....and the commission fee (I still am one of those rare birds who uses a full service broker...even though I make all my own picks)...it is not worth it..at this point...but I keep watching....because....AOL could run up faster than NEtscape...and I could get another bonanza....!! and I agree with you...about ATHM....and am happy I have both in my portfolio.....Mary

the people who are not doing this is because they are afraid of the dealing not going thru...those negative-vibe peoples... Or maybe its partly due to this mentality: (from biz.yahoo.com ) "Analyst Tonia Lee stated . . . . . . . as of yesterday's close, Excite shares traded at a 9% premium to At Home's purchase price of approximately $106 per fully diluted Excite share." Sure looks to me like xcit was trading at about a 9% DISCOUNT as of yesterdays close. (122*1.04 - 116 )/122 =.09 This person is an analyst?? -dam
