I am shocked myself that AOL's market cap is approaching that of IBM. The Street has gone nuts. Many of these so called analysts are nothing more than momentum chasers.

IBM has a annual revenue of 80 billion, and a profit margin of about 8%. AOL has a revenue of only 3 billion, and the profit margin is about the same as IBM at about 8%.

History shows all bubble will burst even if it is the AOL bubble.

AOL is about equal in market cap to Coke and just a smidge under IBM. Astonishing. >>>

How is this astonishing ? In 5 years, you won't even be able to put Coke in the same ballpark as AOL.......You will look back and laugh at the day when AOL was nothing........In the future, AOL will become one of the largest Monsters the world has ever seen.
