What's with the end-of-day weakness in AOL? It seems to be dipping pretty sharply here.

If the employment report tomorrow morning is ugly, there's gonna be a selloff.

Holding july calls overnight could be very costly..

Beware of the geeks bearing gifts.

AOL is probably giving away PC's because their rate of subscription growth is slowing down. The $400 rebate amounts to a 50% discount on a 3-year subscription ($21.95 * 36 = $790.20).

If only half of AOL subscribers choose to take advantage of the offer, it'll cost AOL a cool $4B.
