Well, I'm not quitting AOL. I average about 70 hrs a week online. Mostly just sitting connected during market hours so I can keep up with the new posts in "The Shark Attack". Of the 70, I'm using it perhaps 10% of the time. AOL's "news profiles" timely delivery to my email box of Asensio's sell rec of WDRY the other day essentially paid for a few years subscription payments. I believe that what they're trying to do is to force people off of the phone lines and onto ISPs. Otherwise, why raise the rates for only phone users?

Honestly, I don't understand the animus toward AOL that I detect here. Of course I also don't understand the animus toward Bill Gates, but that's real as well.

Agree that one would be better off waiting for AOL to establish a downtrend before shorting. Of course I think I'll still prefer to stick to the buzzard bait like PNDA for my position trade shorts.
