Truff: I'm really getting interested in ETrade as a short.

Truff,

Don't do that. 10 months ago, when AOL was impossible to log onto (it still is), I put a ton of puts on it. They kept saying how many subs they had but you and I knew that it was a lie, that they were including the 30 day trials, and not excluding the massive cancellations they were getting.

I was lucky to get out with a very small profit. I almost ate it big time.

The lesson here: don't invest or short a stock like Etrade who's price has nothing to do with reality unless you have a very, very strong stomach.
