To all: I finally did it....shorted AOL....I decided to do it because I think the deals are still shady at best...Current ratio is horrible(pre private placement) AOL has gone down to the 20's before....why not now? Additionally, I still am sitting on a hoard of cash to short additional shares as time passes... Finally, I am short, in general, on the market as a whole.....I see a slow down....Maybe others don't but I sure do.....We are not isolated....never have been and never will be.....I think all we need now is one consumer staples company to come out and say "We are seeing a slow down.....SE Asia....EPS may be affected"...Then watch the market crash and burn overnight.... This might be a slight overexaggeration but I don't see growth at prior years levels with stock prices still at very high multiples....It just doesn't make sense.... Dan Ross
