Not short. I am proud owner of worthless May 65 puts. Please don't ask how much I paid. :-( I will only buy puts again on a 10 - 15 point spike in one day, but will not commit as much money ever again. Shedding a tear for the shorts, but at least they can hang on perhaps?

Just went short today. I could be brain-dead given all the comments on this thread and Yahoo!. However, the greed surrounding AOL is so reminiscent of Iomega just before it crashed, well, you know the saying - "It's deja vu all over again." By the way, the comment from the CFO that the stock is worth ~$150 is complete nonsense. No legitimate, ethical executive of a major corporation should comment on the company's stock price. It actually could draw the attention of the SEC. AOL could stand some of that scrutiny for their cheezy/sleazy accounting practices. Makes their 10K's and Q's read like War and Peace.
