WEll it looks like we may see 180 before earnings. Then a 2-1, heck and then by june 1st 200 a share before the split. And I think if the market pulls back ten percent because of this y2k problem I would buy fast and as much as possible. Becasue the bad companies are kicked out or shutdown and the new economy will take over and the market will continue higher. Aol will give us another split after this one by the end of the year.

Man KG4 now you got me blushing and real embarrassed feeling.<g> As far as AOL this move up today is definantly being driven by the big buyers and some yet (think I know what it is) unreleased news. This coupled with jam up earning just around the corner and the posibility of another 2 for 1 is enough good stuff to make me want to super glue my certs to the back of my safe!! No sir...I'm not selling. I think we will see another up day tomorrow but that is just guts speaking and not TA. I'll do that in the morning. I can normally picture what the new charts will look like based on the days price activity. This should look very bullish after today. Nice volume today also. up $16 1/4 now. I see AOL as the most sought after, and for good reason, Internet stock that is available. Small investor want it and institutions want it. The Internet era is just begining. The e-commerce, web site hits, ICQ possibilities, advertising revenues and the projection of 35 million AOL users by the year 2002 is enough to make me feel real cozy about my holdings in this one.

Dont Sell! I was thinking it would be nice to be out of margin by October. But its probably better to just switch to a brokerage with a reasonable margin plan for AOL (like no margin call before 30% equity in down market) and keep it all. Freeus

KG4, Great post. One of the few on this thread that do not concentrate around 1. A prediction of split and price after the split 2. "Go AOL" You conveyed your thoughts and feeling very well. The recent run made you think the stock is ahead of itself so you thought about selling, then you remembered that in the past whenever AOL looked like it's ahead of itself it only consolidated and kept moving higher. My advice to you is this: Imagine you have no AOL at all, and all the money which is currently in the stock is in your account today in cash. Now try to figure how much of it would you put in AOL. Make this the guideline of how much AOL you want in your portfolio now without getting emotional about it. i.e. If you would only use half the money to buy AOL again then you should sell half of your holdings. Myself, I think I will short AOL (and the market) today if it rises more in the morning. A very good selling opportunity IMO. BWDIK? But taking something off the table is always a good idea, esp. when margined. ATG
