Saw an article at CBSMarketwatch site about AOL. Analyst was quoted to say: "Bruce Smith, Internet analyst at Jefferies & Co., reiterated his "buy" rating and $175 price target, citing AOL's ability to capture the increasing amounts of advertising dollars shifting from television to the Net as "Internet usage is eating away at TV watching and, in tandem, the top 10 advertisers are spending, on average, 3.8 percent less on TV" ads."
