You’ve Got… Nothing (After September 30)

After more than 30 years, AOL is finally hanging up its dial-up modem on September 30. Once the gateway to the internet for millions complete with “You’ve Got Mail” greetings and mailbox-stuffing CDs, the service limped into 2025 with about 160,000 landline loyalists still logging in at the speed of molasses. The brand that defined ’90s online culture (and one of the most infamous mergers in corporate history) is now just a fraction of its former self, focusing on other products while leaving the beeps and boops of dial-up to history.
Spirit’s Turbulent Future

Spirit Airlines is warning it may not stay airborne financially without a fresh injection of cash, just five months after emerging from bankruptcy. Despite cost-cutting, pilot furloughs, and a push toward more premium offerings, the carrier is still battling weak leisure travel demand, too much domestic competition, and rock-bottom fares. Management says it might have to sell planes, gates, or real estate to avoid default but admits there’s “substantial doubt” it can keep flying beyond the next year without turning things around.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
