Wasn't just AOL.. YHOO moved up, even more. Stocks/sectors all have their own patterns, even if something like 70% of all stocks do generally move with the broader averages. Internet stocks are getting a different appraisal than PC stocks because they're in a different phase of their cycle. IMHO the shorts aren't the reason why AOL doesn't go down. It's really because all buyers taken together aren't exhausted yet. It will happen though; wish I knew when.

I can't make money of my puts, 'cause you shorts don't leave this sucker alone to do its own damage. Everytime AOL goes up you keep attributing to shorts not leaving it alone. Could you provide your basis for that conclusion, such as as information from your broker, change in the number of AOL shares shorted (which is reported once a month, but maybe you have access that average investors). Otherwise there are other factors that will cause AOL to go up, so don't just blame it on people who have short position.
