I'm looking at a hard copy. Hard to believe, actually reading from a piece of paper LOL Actually, I just found it on their web site. You can rank the companies by your own criteria. Here is the ranking according to return to investors, for computers and data services cgi.pathfinder.com The interesting thing is that the overall Fortune list is based on revenues, so AOL does not yet qualify for the overall Fortune 500 list (they are #535). But within their industry group, they are doing great. In fact, their investor return would place them #1 in the overall Fortune 500 list if they were on the list to begin with. I bet by next year they will make this list, they only have to move up 35 places.

Vendit, Voltaire - what if any do you see as the risk / downside on AOL monday given the CPQ news? Is the 10 DMA a good support - I think it was 148? DO you think AOL will be affected at all by this? In the past, PC maker problems have meant that boxes are getting cheaper. People are interested in accessing the net and not necessarily buying the high end machines that CPQ and DELL make their money on. Also, the dead money from stocks like CPQ has I believe gone into stocks like AOL - so it may fuel AOL/other Ineternets. WHat do you think? TIA
