One thing I forgot to mention. If you take a 5 year option at with a strike price of 104 for $11 and you put a volatility of it of, say, 40%, which is less than AOL's current volatility, then you can work the numbers backwards and get an implied current stock price of 53 dollars! Up the volatility to 60% and you get an implied price of about 38 dollars.
