News:pecial to CNET News.com March 24, 1999, 5:05 a.m. PT Sun Microsystems, one of the biggest makers of computers that run Internet sites, will announce a new electronic commerce and corporate software division, according to reports. The unit will be staffed in part by Netscape Communications employees to be laid off by America Online, USA Today reported. AOL is scheduled to announce plans today, including possible job cuts, for its Netscape unit--which provides Internet software and services to consumers and businesses and was acquired in a move that also includes an alliance with Sun.

Why is it that bears are so bothered by those who choose to buy and hold a stock for the long term? I mean, bears have not exactly been making good calls for the last ten years, and yet you don't see many bulls gloating about this. Basically, I don't care what you do with your money or your investments. If you want to make a comment on AOL or any other stock, positive or negative, go ahead, that is what the First Amendment is about. But why do you make statements such as: On the contrary, it will only become bullish when the MAJORITY of you have given up in disgust, gone away licking your wounds and counting your losses, and a bull on the stock is nowhere to be found. Sounds like sour grapes to me. You must have been burned playing the bearish side, eh? Good luck, and chill out, man.
