The stock reaction over the next few weeks is likely to be fairly neutral, with a lot of the damage already factored into prices.

First of all, (AOL) stock is down ... 50, 60 percent from its high, ... And it really hasn't changed its spots. I mean my grandchildren, if I'm lucky enough to have grandchildren, and their grandchildren are still going to know about Bugs Bunny and Time magazine. AOL is here for the count. (The stock) could end up earning a buck a share next year, maybe even a little bit more than that, 15-to-18 percent growth. Where do you get that kind of quality at that kind of price? (That's) very, very difficult to find.

Things still look to be fairly mild next week, even into two weeks. We don't see the return of that arctic air.

Goldman Sachs ... yesterday took it off their recommended list for reasons that made no sense whatsoever. This is as high a quality company as you can imagine. They did make some round-trip energy trades, there's no doubt, [but] they amounted to one quarter of one percent of their business. It had no effect on their profits. Energy trading is about 65 cents or about 30 percent of Duke's earnings. I would just buy Duke with my eyes closed at this point.

The key is the stock market reaction.

Given the fact that the Olympics is an 800-pound gorilla for the next two weeks, we're happy to see that we can perform against them.
