I personally think if you want to short a stock, it is better to buy puts, which is limited to the amount you bet, and you know how much you are going to lose if you are wrong.

I will short AOL if and when they go out for additional financing or go for secondary offering. AOL seems to be walking on thin ice as far as balance sheet is concerned.Look what happened to OXHP different industry but came concept. There are numerous ISP providing unlimited access under $ 20. Ithink $ 2 increase announced today could more cost more to AOL than improve bottom line.
