You shorts are gluttons for punishment. Incredible that you continue to abuse yourselfs with this rocket. In a reemerging bull market I am sure there are more productive places for your precious $$$$ than a co. that on a daily basis seems to go up 1-3 points or more. Nevertheless your continued disbelief, shorting AOL, and scrambling to cover your short just throws gas on the fire that continues to propel AOL higher. Be my guest short some more!

>>PV actually they thought it was way overvalued back then.With
the last earnings report, they are probably in shock as us that the
stock has gone so high.<<

I agree. I was just being a bit sarcastic. IMO AOL management knows some fundamental things in their business [such as alternate sources of revenue] Bery Bery Bery wrong. This is why they tampered so much with the 10Q to make the numbers, and went for overkill announcing the price increase and the new President, and the split for such a volatile stock after only a few days over 100, look at G all the time they waited to go for the split (have they gone?). You see they thought people were gonna see through the mess. It is like when someone commits a crime and thinks everybody knows them guilty. Instead the bulls/momentum players swallowed the disguised good news with no problem. I will check the 144/4 fillings they must by getting ready to sell. In fact those filling intend to sell may be selling right now! I doubt they were so patient though
