This is more on what Kudlow said this AM but with a bit more vigor in the interpretation: ragingbull.com

60% Mercy. My 25% is enough to keep me coming back here for the eternal words of wisdom. Someday, sometime the ultimate news article or comment will be posted to guide this wayward tech holder. Peace, Craig

KG4, I believe that you are a very sincere person (at least from your tune!), I like people who are straight, no mask, no double talking, I think you do too. There are many things which don't turn the way we like them to in our life time. If congress cannot even stop 'burning US flag is ok', do you expect you can stop someone posting on this board? Live and let live. We all know one must be selective while reading posts from chat rooms as we do follow anaylsts' advice, we do 'dance around' when CNBC gives a thumb-up on AOL, we do curse badly when CNBC trashes AOL, the fact is we 'choose' to be influenced. One thing good about this AOL room, you do know (after a while) who is good and who is bad, who is pretty and who is ugly, we also learned from each other too. If only 'good posts' or 'useful posts' allow to be posted here, and if everyone follows that rule, then you won't see any post anymore because there is no judge to judge that. We both know who are decent ones but we shouldn't say it loud because that may discourage others. An old saying: " clear water hides no fish ". Anyhow, let's get back to AOL issue here: AOL is a news driven stock, what's worst has behind us (no cable deal) but what's ahead of us is so much opportunities: (1) Good earning prospective (2) 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 possibilities (3) Stock price has been corrected 40%, a lot of upside room (4) No downgrade in sight (5) Wireless handheld tools was announced a while ago but never really hits the market yet. (6) The alliance with SUN should display profit in the coming earning (7) Possible package of free-pc-wih-AOL-as-your-isp deals in the coming months (8) All analyses point to a possible partnership with ATT/TWX since eyeball and loyalty is hard to come by, ATT knows that, they couldn't market their worldnet for 3 years, what makes them to be successful overnight? (9) More DSL deals with Bells in the coming months (10) SouthAmerica ISP will start showing numbers soon (11) AOL Euro should display some strength after recent new strategies (12) AOL TV is coming to town, a possible alliance with CBS is possible too (13) Most important fact: Internet is real, internet is like cigarrete, you get addicted to it and it poses no harm, the entire world is gearing toward the internet usage, we only have handful population using it today, so the growth rate is huge. AOL has mustle, when AOL talks, people listen. AOL will become the real online WalMart, not AMZN. AOL (14) I don't like 13, so I put 14 here to fill the still-to-be-sought perspectives here. O.K., these are all potential upside possibilities, how about downside? if the market tanks, well, another old saying: " an overturned bird nest survives no whole egg". My 2 cents ....
