"I watched it open on Datek streamer and at no time was it bid @153.Sorry.I tried to sell @ 152 and could't access Datek sites until it was too late. Ed" Was it a problem with Datek or AOL?. I subscribe to Netcom and AOL and when I want to trade fast, in my area, I don't use AOL but Netcom instead. AOL is way too slow, difficult to sign on and often the connection is lost. AOL's overload problems are cropping up again in my neck of the wood. I am looking more and more to permanently dump my AOL subscription. They might do creative accounting, but they are not performing in my area (Northeast). This has happened in the past, and it is a recurrent problem. I am very impressed by their stock valuation but not by their service these days. If AOL continues to provide such a slow service, and let's face it pretty poor content, it's stock valuation could suffer real soon, and independently from Kosovo worries. Just IMHO and frustrated by an appalling AOL's Internet access, recently. And yes... this morning I had to short AOL to vent my frustration (I don't expect a profit there! but will help some long when I will have to cover ...when AOL will be $300 post split, at the end of the year!) Good luck to all. FHG.

AOL certainly has earned a rest, and I would not be surprised if we go down or sideways for a while. As Vendit said, the 10 day MA is around 130, and this should represent support. Heck, not too long ago we were wondering when we would break 100, and my target was for yesterday, which I missed by 50% to the upside. Hope I have many more of those surprises. The fact remains, though, that AOL likes to run hard then rest a while. So let's enjoy whatever it wants to do.
