I am not short AOL , I just think they offer the worst on-line connection and charge the most for it. Yes they have a huge subscriber base because they spend so much money on advertising, and they were among the first to offer on-line service. But in order for AOL to remain profitable they have to have their subscribers pay more then the standard monthly fee, so when someone starts to pay $ 100 a month for
AOL they hopefully will have the brains to figure out that a local ISP can offer much more in terms of real Internet, without censorship and that lousy lagged front end of AOL for a fraction of the cost of using AOL. So what will they do?? most leave,
a few keep their AOL account for e-mail and the few unique things AOL has to offer and then get a local ISP to do most of the on-line surfing. Funny I see that neither you or Jing have an AOL E-mail address :-}
Also forget about a short squeeze on this stock, to many shares outstanding, and plenty of shares to borrow. This stock is not worth
$ 30 a share.
