Understand that I like VRIO and although I 'belched' about AOL at the time I held the stock for over 1 1/2 years. I hope no one saw my frustration as a 'knock' on the stock. I was just a bit saddened that my usual 30 minute conversations with them are now curtailed at about 5 and my hold time is very long. Because of the the unbelievable run on subscriptions, even the new ones, already had me on the go all night and because of the mistakes in the passwords, I was unable to catch up with my work. Now I see that they, as we, are undergoing growing pains and there will be occasional lapses in their efficiency. Of course you are supposed to look at a stock as a vehicle for profitability for your own portfolio and I still think that VRIO is a potential gold mine. I currently am long 300 shares of VRIO an intend to hold these long term. I will also up the shares as I see fit, and sell off chunks as I usually do.

AOL---It's funny you made the VRIO comparison to AOL--a few years ago, I was going to buy AOL, 500 shares at 50. They were having problems with their subscribers, and threats of lawsuits, my broker talked me out of it, said it was a loser, convinced me to buy another stock that did nothing but go down. By the time I got out of his recommendation, most of my initial investment was gone. Sometimes you have to go with your gut instincts. Every time I think of that broker, I want to throw up! Jan
