***every major brokerage in the country covering them for the last 3 years. AOL is an
institutional stock, and the others aren't. So AOL was most likely among the
companies I know to be the target of the much-ballyhooed "flight to safety.

I apologize, but "Flight to safely" and AOL in the same sentence? I'm afraid I can't continue this conversation. . .

All the internets showing strength. AOL, ATHM, AMZN, all positive even YHOO is holding up extremely well after running up so high in the past few weeks. Shorting these things are for masochists IMO. I hate to think what will happen to these stocks when the market moves up if I am still short.

I am relieved to see that I am shorting shares to your grandmother. I have seen the enemy, and am not scared.
