I really don't have any reason for holding it other than the fact that it has made me about a million five in the last four months.

If I were you I wouldn't dare touch this Ponzi scheme, and then of course, I am not you.

Good luck on finding great stocks that no one wants. Check out Gulfstream, fantastic stock, great book value, good earnings, but, one problem, no one wants it. I realize my investment technique is a little crude but it seems to hang in there.

Good luck,

Voltaire

WHY? WHY? WHY?

RE:>>AOL as high as 133.90 in Germany
Not anymore.

Anyone can explain why you keep holding this stock (I have nothing against the
company) at current prices, other then Voltair's reason which sums to "other buyers want
it". Isn't that a pure pyramid (Ponzi) play?
I sold naked April 125 calls yesterday for 12 3/8.

Airk, Let me tell you something, "Other Buyers Want It" Is THE reason to invest in a company , the real trick is to find what stock the hord will want before they do.
