Dear Mr. RUBERT: << To give you all a little perspective. If AOL goes down below $100, can anyone tell me what would happen to all high PE stocks like EBAY,LCOS,YHOO,PCLN and AMZN? Their stocks will go on a free fall....margin calls will be forced...online broker sites will melt-down.....investors will loose billions...many will file bankruptcy......consumer spending will slow to a crawl...businesses will incur millions of losses due to lack of sales...earnings will drop.....layoffs will follow......unemployment will rise to double digits...and this precious economy will be in the toilet......>> And all this because AOL goes down another 14 or so points? And they accuse ME of spreading fear? Give me a break.... In my opinion, this was truly an obscene post. BP.

To Rubert: Excellent post. I am also a long term holder. (Forced into it with a basis of 145). I concur with your thoughts on how the entire internet sector can be gauged by the movement of AOL. My question is: Where is all the institutional buying we were told to expect?? Mutual Fund Managers were killing each other to buy AOL several weeks ago when the stock was in the 150s and 160s. What in the hell happened?? I still think this correction is just about over. With the likes of INTC, DELL, CPQ, ORCL, MSFT, CSCO, LU, etc treading water or collapsing the only real sector for momentum and growth right now is the NET sector. Hopefully those damn fools on Wall Street will realize this sooner then later. Good Luck and I'll be buying additional shares this morning if we crack 110. Good Luck to all who are LONG in this FANTASTIC COMPANY!!! GO AOL!!!
