Sam, nice post. I L O V E hot burning coffee in AM as from burning shorts. I would greatly appreciate if any & all shorts were to post here when and how deep they are shorting AOL. Makes investing in AOL more interesting. Here is my view of the future: The New-Age Carriers techweb.com In this you will see that AOL's strategy of " AOL everywhere " is key and cornerstone to their growth. That literally means they have to be " everywhere". I think they will, because they will be able to side with all the Baby Bells and Cable companies against their No 1 common enemy, AT&T. Thus AT&T will never be able to outdo the combined efforts of everybody else put together. I have no personal ax to grind against At&T. What I am tired off is AT&T reattempting to recreate their previous monopoly with my money. AT&T's buyout of Media One and TCI was mostly based " on the value of their stock through a stock exchange". My point is that that stock got were it is through 70 years of monopoly. Enough is enough. All permanent monopolies are bad and we should at all cost avoid recreating a new one. I can guarantee you that thousands of municipalities feel the same, TA you said i believe we were talking when the pig was at 160. its been hard for aol... hehehe! NEXT!!! Yawn. Confusing the market gyrations with the stock again, aren't you? The summer doldrums will pass, and the fall tech bonanza will begin all over. Do you remember last summer? It was about this time that the techs took one HELL of a beating, and the shorts we're jumping up and down like spastic little children saying I told you so ... ... only, the downturn was temporary, and those that had half an investment brain went LONG, and are sitting on gains closing in around the 1000% area. Meanwhile, the shorts cowered back into their little holes, licking their wounds and eating their tulip bulbs. And so the story goes, and the torch gets passed, and it ends up in the hands of shorts like yourself. Enjoy. Make a dollar or two, hell make three even! Just make sure to post how good a short AOL is, and all the fantastic due diligence you have done to support your claims. In the end, the stock will take care of itself ... and all those bold enough to short it. Enjoy, $am -- as piggy as I was three years ago!
