I don't think it's useful to speculate on where this train ride might stop or pull back. Since the Netscape deal, AOL is now a much bigger and more diversified company than it used to be, with employees on both coasts. Hard to put a price on what it can accomplish.

Sophia, I can't help the threat; When people start complaining of a "double" in a matter of months it annoys me. Sometimes I think people on these threads need a refresher on the historical rate of return on stocks. Yes, maybe it is a new paradigm, but it is dangerous for anyone to have such lofty expectations. If you do the math, you can do reasonably well with 10% returns a year. Now everybody wants 200% returns. I hope it continues, but expect that it will not. What the heck...go AOL. KY
