Vendit, as I said, I learned the basics of 'how to read chart' from your posts and very thankful for that but my readings were still not mature yet (my guessing is better than my reading lately! <VBG>). Anyway, I 'read' the stochastics and Williams R%, they both lingering in the oversold area longer than before, but their head is raised on Friday, what it needs is couple good news to propel the 'heads' shooting thru the 'over sold' clouds, but the key to this is 'news', not medium news, must be 'exceptional news' because there are still sellers sitting on the wings waiting for the 'head-up' moments. Regular partnership news won't make a steady rising anymore, we have seen many such news in the past weeks. Analyst's 'strong buy' won't do the trick either, maybe a blur for a day or 2 and sellers will take over from there, we need 'good but unusual news', such as (1) a partnership with cable operators (2) more partnership with Bell's DSL (3) register DSL membership in a fast than expected pace (4) pre-earning announcement, such as 'we are comfortable ...' (5) membership grows in an amazing pace in last month... (6) partner with Yahoo (maybe) (7) CPQ, DELL, Gateway, IBM have selected AOL as their designated ISP for their 'free pc with a contracted period using a designated ISP'(this one is big) (8) The flat rate package or free local usage phone finally kicks in and AOL membership takes off (9) 2 for 1 split (10) Voltaire comes out from the cold and pumping more cheers (10)(Anyone has more suggestions?) Any of the above may push 1 or 2 notch of AOL's share price and we need more than 1 a month to keep steady 'head-up' and finally stay above the 10 DMV as the 'old days'. There are more variables now than ever before, like everyone else sighed here before, 'I wish I sold my AOL at $175 and bought it back at $106', we will see more 'trading' when the next wave hits the shore. After whining a bit, I felt a lot better now.
