Jim, I agree that shorting AOL without calls is probably not real smart, but I think the liklihood of the broker having the shares called (excepting a margin call of course) is low with such a large and liquid stock. I'll do some research into this. I would never do this with a small stock. Being in and out a lot as you are I agree that you may miss the big Kahuna, but you've got your long term puts so if you enjoy the fun of day trading -- I say enjoy. I can't pay that much attention to the game. I may place a leap bet. There are so many stocks out there at crazy prices right now and option prices command such a premium -- what I'd like to find is some lesser known issues that are extremely overpriced and play those.
