If you want bearish posts on AOL go to the T board (which I also follow.) Now, I know that shorts are right sometimes and longs are right sometimes. And I know that you can make money both ways. But a board on a single stock (like AOL, GNET, T , IBM) tends to attract people pulling in a positive direction, like if you are a Giants fan or a Knicks fan and you are routing for the team because you like the players. I never go short because when I like a team, I never bet against them, and I wouldn't waste my time betting AGAINST a team I do not like. (nor would I waste my time following a team I don't like.) I like the "aura" and feeling one gets in the positive space. I dislike being around negativity . Maybe this brings some context to the short/long conversation. I feel bad when the shorts act like longs are pollyannas.
