Mr. Vendit, I have a question about shorts if you don't mind. When people borrow shares of a stock to short it, when do they have to give the shares back? Is it a day, month or years? I do not know what the time limit is for shorting a stock? Thank You JK

By Jim Hu Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 29, 1999, 4:55 p.m. PT America Online is planning to take its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) service one step closer to the telephone. The company is testing a voice-enabled service on its next-generation instant messenger product called AIM Talk. The software allows users to communicate by voice through their PCs by speaking into a computer microphone. An AOL representative said the company plans to officially release the new software by the end of this year. AOL's messenger product has gained enormous popularity that spans beyond its proprietary membership. Web users who are not AOL members can download the software and communicate in real time with AOL members and other AIM users.
