Nice to see good company on the AOL thread. Larry, The compliment returned to you:-) I agree with Hawk that AOL (YHOO, AMZN, ELNK, etc.) are highly manipulated but when the music finally stops....and it will, the ride should be very rewarding. As a long time ASND shareholder ($40's on down) I feel for all you shorts in @ much lower prices and in particular hope this thing turns real soon for you. I am short all the above except ELNK. I never followed them. I just need patience now. Glenn

I gave up on shorting this one. Fundamentals don't seem to play a part, if they get a downgrade like the recent one, based on price, they can just announce a few deals to be refactored into the calculation, they have no Asia exposure, they are at the forefront of the big new thing, e-commerce, people pay them or give them a cut to be on their site........arrggghhhhhhh!. I follow the internet stocks closely, and the bias has been downward for over a week ... but any weakness in this one is seen as a buying opportunity. I was sure that AOL .... and Amazon would have to fail .... but I've been soooooooooo wrong. They should carry a government health warning for short players. I believe that until the end of the month, when fund managers have dressed up their books, this stock will remain strong - it just looks so good in the portfolio !!!. After that ......
