<<...My dad was a lot smarter than me. He held his AOL, and continues to hold it. His simple criteria is: where do you expect AOL's stock price to be this time next year. 100% is his conservative estimate. He made this same simplistic analysis on YHOO - and bought when everyone thought it was "topped" last summer. He didn't sell during the Sept pullback - he bought more. Another one of his simplistic notions - when it comes to "good" stocks, buy when everyone else is selling. While I've been daytrading for 1-10 points, he's racking up 100-500 point gains.......>> Shorts on AOL should take note. The longs have known this all along. As for me, especially for AOL, I do not buy more on dips since the number of shares have doubled for me everytime it split. Instead, with the appreciation of the AOL shares, I have diversified into other stock holding technological promise such as DCLK.
