This stock is quite the blast since becoming a fan a week ago on Fri while "newbe" Omnitrader prospecting nirv.com (after a ORCL debacle)

I understand the selloff spurt this morning and am just surprised that the market didn't already have the vote news discounted.

My open question to AOL veterans relates to views on whether [a] this is shaping up to be a blow off on the upside wrapping up quickly (i.e. today -- gee we've launched to 107 1/2 and going up??) or a continuing surge this week (and onward) and what key factors drive your opinion.

Thanks,

Orlando

(p.s. not just in it for the short options haul.. I also own AOL stock!)

Netscape trading has been halted. That is why it shows that it is down. Now I assume all the NSCP share holders are officially AOL share holders

I would imagine there were, and will be quite a few netscape options excersised.........I think alot of folks stuck with netscape until the deal was complete to get some of the perks...now, maybe they are heading for new jobs.
