Mary, you seem to have a much better feeling for the revenues and earnings potential of AOL than most, so I think you would be the logical person to whom to pose this question: I calculated that AOL would need economic profits of roughly $3.3BB to support the stock price of roughly $175. Assuming that this calculation is within the ballpark (+/- 15%) do you believe that it is possible for AOL, given its current business model to generate those kinds of profits in the reasonably near future? If so, where do you see the revenues coming from, and what do you see as the time frame for getting there? Let's ignore the impact of the MovieFone or other unknown acquisitions for the time being.
