BARRONS PAGE 33...postive AOL... by: Peterbeth 167692 of 167693 * AOL has 50% of ALL consumer Internet in the U.S. * AOL's incremental market share is greater than their average market share, meaning that of the new subscribers who are coming on the NET, AOL is getting more than 50%. * best Internet business model. * offers proprietary content. * offers ease of use. * AOL's advertising has been so successful over last four to five years that at this point the brand is so powerful that it is bringing in subscribers even thought AOL's advertising budget has slowed. * system crashes are a thing of the past...AOL is just like other Internet services that go down on occasion. AOL attracts CORPORATE ADVERTISING sponsors...AOL does not rely on banner advertising. AOL's INTERNATIONAL dimension...AOL already #2 in Europe...#2 in Germany...#2 in France...and #2 in the UK. *100% annualized growth puts P/E question at ease. +Target Price =$175. sound positive to me...

Olu, Unfortunately, I think many others will bail out at around 129/130 just like yourself...short term pop only resulting in another lower high. Question is, will we get a lower low. If so, look out below. Just don't see any catalysts that will send AOL significantly higher in the short term...for once, I think AOL and most of the other net stocks will actually have to build a base before attaching their highs...just too much damage done. Will be waiting at 90 to bet the farm. KY
