David...thanks for the compliment but I must be honest...I am on a major learning curve all the time. I happened to buy AOL earlier than most posting here lately...and everything I have ever read told me to be a buy and hold investor for maximum profit...so that is what I did and continue to do. If you want to ask me about Doubleclick, that is a different story. I bought that one at $116 a share with IRA money and last I checked it was around $85 a share. So, I will certainly hold for that one to rebound since I have the years to wait. Perspective is everything and perspective is more positive when you bought lower than the other guy...but I have faith you will not be bleeding for long (of course we could have a lengthy discussion to determine the definition of long)...but I see a turnaround for AOL in the near future and of course this is all in my extremely humble and unexpert opinion. Aloha, Mary
