<< perhaps using options to limit risk is better than tying up all your capital. reality will hit. nobody will actually sign on the dotted line. btw, where was everyone when aol was $15 not too long ago? oh, it just became a buy AFTER everyone else bid it up... there i go again ;-) good luck. >> Skeeter I think aol is a hyped up piece of junk. I would not be caught dead as a user of aol. AT&T however does not think like I do and is out to mark its territory. While doing so, its going to pee all over the shorts(if the rumors are true). I think the only two sane options are a>buy a straddle/box(because the price already has appreciated)... b>stay out of it and let the dust settle naked shorting any of these puppies in these crazy times may turn out to be lucrative, but i think the risks are too high(esp. for a person like me who is not in the first bloom of youth :) ). best luck
