I mentioned NOVL earlier. If it dips down into the $24-25 range, its a strong buy IMHO. I've held for over 15 months with a nice 230% gain so far. I want to hold it another 2-3 years, at least, before I really start selling. Of course, this all depends on how well the company continues to execute on its business model. novell.com The other one I'm eyeing as a slower growth turnaround, but with little downside risk is Boeing. (BA). Haven't bought yet, been watching them for over a year! Been patient before getting my toes wet and its paid off. BTW, all of you traders, position traders, etc. and Jenna too. Give me a range of how well y'all do on an annual basis in terms of return on principal of your investment. I'm curious to compare short term/trading, 1-3 year holding, and long term >5 years gains strategies-- PM me if that is more appropriate. I haven't fournd a publication that has done such an analysis. Of course the long term folks have the greatest patience and fortitude.

JUDITH, AOL --AOL1998 Investment Return was 585% --AOL started 1999 at $75 per share (post-split) AOL currently at 125 7/8. Do the math! --AOL split twice in 1997, twice in 1998 and once SO FAR, 1999. AOL's fundamentals and financials are stronger now than any prior year and only getting better. Read the 10-K! --AOL turned profitable in 1997 and net income is on the rise along with gross revenues @ 62% increase '98 vs. '97. --AOL has a diversified revenue stream. Subscriptions, ad space, co-branding and e-commerce. --AOL's "real estate for rent" advertising space is like renting a slice of the French Riviera. --AOL has over 16 million national subscribers (eyeballs) and the number only grows monthly. --AOL subscriptions (eyeballs) outside of the USA upwards of 3 million and growing. --AOL recently acquired powerhouse NetScape and is aligning with powerhouse SunMicroSystems. Sounds like a grand slam to me. Could it get any better? --AOL still in growth cycle. AND! Keep in mind AOL is also involved in a NEW, unprecedented industry. --AOL is considered the LEADER in its industry--the standard--by which others will be valued. --AOL Strong buy recommendations: I lost count! 24? 25? 27? Does it matter anymore? --AOL named by Barron's as THE #1 stock to own. --AOL CEO, Steve Case's goal is make AOL the most valuable and respected company on earth. ***To be, or NOT To be... Long... There is NO Question****
