********* OT AOL short *************
I want to short AOL too! They have a very bad dial access and they're
arogant. I have wanted to short it since it was at $45. Now it is
close to $100. Can't wait any longer. Any strategies would be welcome.


I'm with ya man on shorting SOL, I mean AOL. How about the typical short strategy with your basic protection: Buy a deep out of the money call for cheap premium, then short away! This protects you from a runaway on the upside.

Might just do that myself. This thing with Netscape could be the perfect catalyst for a huge downward move in AOL. That is of course, if AOL is STUPID enough to consider a purchase of NSCP. Why they would want to align themselves directly against MSFT is beyond me.
