I'm concerned, and you should be too. Maybe I'll sell half and buy ATHM as a hedge. Although I really don't think I can sell my AOL. I'll try tomorrow, Just half. Aljorma

I don't think that article in Smart Money is why AOL retrenched--didn't you notice the rest of internet and techs stumbling? This battle has been shaping up for a while. Currently ATHM has had trouble w/ its customers. Moreover, someone has to figure out how to keep privacy if cable is used for internet (so your neighbors can't instantly hack your computer), and how to keep speed (the more people on, the more the service slows). DSL is a serious contender. SmartMoney is like McDonalds, I never found it too smart.
