Big easy,

I agree with you. I am also bullish on AOL for the long term. (>2yrs)
However, I believe AOL will see 90-105 before it sees a new high.

ALL

I am an AOL investor. That said I can perhaps shed some light on this discussion.

I currently use Earthlink as my ISP provider. I have cable ISP (@Home) in my home. I just finished a trial with AOL. SO I have lots to compare.

I use cable at home because it is faster, easier, and because I have cable TV I get it for $29.95. If you don't have cable TV chances are you won't sign up for the internet cable.

I had to cancel my AOL trial because my software was not compatible with it. Something about too much running in the background that messed up my real time data feeds.

Earthlink is used at my office because (1)there is no cable and (2) I use a laptop sometimes and there is no cable modem for it.

I see all the above having their place in the internet business. I have read enough about AOL that convinces me that they will not be left behind in anything. They lead in so many ways, there is no reason to think they aren't capable of doing it over and over again.

I think you are absolutely right about your assessment on aol. Hey you should be running a mutual fund instead of investing in it. :) Like to read your post more often. Thanks, gc
