TA, I totally agree! AOL is not going to break out of this trading range on its own..... and most of the option money is stacked in the range that you mentioned. My guess is a close on Friday of 135......makes most of the May options worthless......after that, there may be a brief rally to the upper end of the trading range.....otherwise, we drift with the market, pretty much just as you stated. IMO RichieH

TA, i m sure aol has plans...just not announcing yet. Broadband bull's eye cbs.marketwatch.com Indeed, analysts had expected AOL's broadband strategy to be a key focal point. Jamie Kiggen, Internet analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette said he believes AOL is "in discussions with many potential broadband partners, including several cable companies. Pressed for commentary in an interview on CNBC, AOL Chairman and CEO Steve Case said his company's offering will give customers a choice in broadband technology. He reiterated the company was working with a variety of companies and technologies for content delivery. At midday, AOL Chief Executive Steve Case, in a debate on Capitol Hill, argued the merits of opening up the cable lines to independent Internet providers such as America Online. Yet, Federal Communications Commissioner William Kennard essentially ruled out any government intervention any time soon. Case was among a panel addressing the future of high-speed Internet access. At the moment, AOL has agreements with SBC Communications (SBC: news, msgs) and Bell Atlantic (BEL: news, msgs) to provide broadband access to AOL customers over DSL, or digital subscriber lines. These services, which are expected to make connections 20 times faster than 28K modem links, start rolling out this summer.
