>>>news that Sprint (NYSE: FON) plans to sell 28.8 million AOL shares may have dampened investors' spirits.

Sprint entered into a hedge in 1995/6 that would cap it's gains on AOL @ 90 million (if they had not they would have made 4 billion). So holding the shares gives them 90 million on paper and selling then gives then 90 million in the bank......NO INCENTIVE TO HOLD THE STOCK !!!
