Pat, AOL is nowhere near the valuation of MSFT and is about 60% of INTC's market cap right now. AOL will split at earnings. Only CNBC cares how much AOL is worth relative to other companies, and there are many reasons why it could be worth more but I can't name any b/c they don't matter anyways with this stock. AOL is NOT a MSFT in terms of profitability but the stock IS a money machine and I'll drink to that. Cheers!

I doubt it...where there's a $200 target on a very good company, there's usually a $200 stock price to follow...I think this is a good buying opportunity on the pullback.

Hi Pat. After reading your Jan 3 '98 post: Message 7092312 I was left wondering, "Did you take Robert to dinner?" Congrats on the NSCP to AOL conversion! Conan

NO SPLIT IMPOSSIBLE Pat, Pat, Pat ... Oh, Pat, the question is not whether AOL will split. The question is when. I'm with you on the unlikelihood of a split near term. But this is April of 1999; there will be at least one more split in the next 12 months. If not this year, then certainly after the Christmas e-commerce reports come out. How can it be worth more than an IBM MSFT INTC?????? The rise in shares the past 2 weeks were in anticipation of Rumors of CBS.. So many questions, but you know the answers, don't you? Think ahead with clarity, Pat. As more net leaders enter the S&P 500, as more acquisitions are made, as profitability becomes more common, as communications as we know it becomes morphed into an entirely new world ... who do you think will be one of the leaders? AOL has muscle power now. It's going to work fine. Please enjoy your stay.

AOL is NO WHERE EVEN CLOSE to MSFT........ MSFT has a market cap of nearly 500B..... AOL (approx 1B shares 160$/share) = 160B........... it has a long way to go to catch MSFT. Sorry if I sound critical, that is not my intention. RichieH
