Thank you Philip, This is a priceless piece from your post: These days, the shorts are lucky if they've kept their white-collared shirts. Since the end of the fourth quarter of 1997 -- America Online's last profitless quarter -- the stock is up 1,226%. Yes, $10,000 invested in AOL 15 months ago would've netted you about $122,000, while a $10,000 short would've netted you a job at McDonald's.

Great article. It really nails it right on the head. I am definitely holding course and will not let any correction or dip cloud the larger picture. Where could AOL be a year from now? Well, here are some interesting thoughts... 1) Early next year we will see hard results of deal with Sun. (Don't forget about this... this should be HUGE!) 2) AOL will be unveiling new Netscape produced web browser. 3) Likely deal for broadband somewhere in the near future probable (CBS?, ATHM?, Roadrunner?) 4) Something like RNWK might be likely too so as to compete with YHOO's acquisition of BCST in this regard. 5) A near-term split announcement likely. (Maybe another before year's end) 6) Earnings coming up April 27 correlated with the tech industry which is predicted to have good news. 7) I wonder how many subscribers AOL will have in a year. hmmm.... It seems to be coming together like the pieces of a very large puzzle. Regardless of where the stock price is in a year, I personally feel confident that it just might beat the S&P 500. <vbg> Of course, now I guess it could be leading the S&P 500. What do you think? ; ) Sleep well my friends... Modano : )
