Aol is the future I just wonder how big market cap wise it can get. I mean AOL is or will be 400 billion cap in 2 years. So does the cap keep going to 1 trillion.AOL only has 100 million people signed up world wide, so what if it has 400 million or a billion people signed up.?

Rocketman, thanks for the link from the WashingtonPost, it is quite
an assurance at this particular moment for all AOL longs.

Thanks again.

Rocket,
The Washington Post article you pointed out was excellent. The two points stand out. First, the continuing scramble by fund managers to come up with Internet funds, something that suggests Internet mania will continue for at least the immediate future. Second, neglect of almost all other aspects of the overall market to pursue Internet stocks and drive them to (IMO) incomprehensible valuations, perhaps not a healthy approach to investing but it's hard to argue with what in fact is going on.
Best,
--Steve

<OT>Here's an idea: one share of AOL for Kosovo relief. Those of us who have held AOL for a while have been nicely rewarded for our investment. With the tragedy going on in Kosovo, the thousands of men, women, and children having to flee for their lives with no food, shelter, or money, here is a way to help. How about donating the equivalent of one AOL share for the relief effort?

Whatever your politics...
Whatever your faith...
Whatever your beliefs...
Whatever your opinion on AOL...

If you are long, the equivalent of one AOL share you would have bought.
If you are short, the equivalent of one AOL share you would have shorted.

How to do it?

Through your favorite charity that can direct the funds to Kosovo relief. If you do not know of one, you can call 1-800-HELPNOW and donate through the Red Cross. Push 4 on the recording and tell the helper you want to donate to the Kosovo/Yugoslavia relief effort. You can even put it on a credit card. If there are other such numbers/agencies, post them.
