Mr tang:

My..... but you do have a way with words, and I agree with them. BTW I experienced the same as you about trading this one. I am very long term here as well as MSFT, AIT, LU, T, AFL, SNV what can I say? I like big strong fast running gorillas.

I will trade the small ones with a saw tooth chart.

tang -

Just wanted to thank you for your excellent, informative, interesting long post about AOL assets and scenarios / options for further evolution, and, of course, hopefully continued "dominance." Also enjoy and thank you and Vendit for the frequent "dialogue" posts.

BTW re: your post #7177 : my son had the same experience that you described your daughter as having with ICQ. Is there any one now who doesn't use AOL Instant Messenger now ? Probably one of AOL's most strategic acquisitions combining utility, community and brand reach. David Wetherell of CMGi talks about "viral" websites/ activities meaning those that extend, repeat, and "replicate" themselves. I can't think of anything more "viral" than ICQ/AIM.

(FWIW: CMGi is my largest position, AOL 2nd and down a bit from there YHOO and then WCOM.)

Thanks again and good luck --

George Martin

thanks so much for your post. i am new to aol & got
there for many of the reasons you mention. aol is the
McDonalds of the internet. McDonalds is convenient,
plain, friendly, dominant, kids love it and it is
everywhere---just like aol

i talk with a lot of investors (particularly tech inves
tors) who are warming up to net investing. GUESS WHERE
THEIR FIRST STOP WILL BE? that's right, come to poppa.

thanks again for your post--right on target imho
