I'm new to this thread, and though thoroughly bearish on the internuts (see YHOO), have always had utmost respect for aol. Never went near shorting this puppy, and have in fact made a little money from time to time with this behemoth (not lately, much to my chagrin). AOL is as different from YHOO, EBAY etc. as the Concorde is from a Sopwith Camel; it has a business plan that will surely guarantee an incrediblly profitable future for decades to come. Congrats to all holding AOL at last year's prices... However, do not underestimate the impact in the short-term of the inevitable bubble pricking in the sector that will take place sometime soon. Just as garbage companies have gone through the roof when tulip.com accelerated last fall, good ones will be driven down in the fall. Hold on to your seats...

Smart Investor, Please stay long with AOL. When you shorted on AOL, you have to fight a tidal wave of opposite opinions, I am sure it exhausted you easily. But now you are long on AOL, your opinion shows no 'forceful facts' and they are objective too! I respect your opinion when you shorted AOL because you always declared a war before you entered it, but I still like you on our side for a longer term. <VBG> AOL will hit $250 - $300 be the year end, why bother to go back and forth to short? Timing AOL is very painful, and you pay dearly if you are wrong. AOL should stay unsplit until its price goes above $200 and giving a chance to catch earning and PE, like our beloved analyst Kevin Pregil from the streetadvisor.com said in his last write-up: " AOL will be the first co. to have market cap. over 1 trillion!", that is equivalent to 3 more '2-for-1' splits or 5 '2-for-1' & '3-for-2' combined in the next 5 years, patience will do us good!
