I would love for the short sellers to pile on here. Dream scenario: AOL announces decent earnings, Steve Case withholds announcement of split. AOL price action levels off. Market trends down for a while and short interest in AOL becomes very high. When the Nasdaq goes down to about 1750 or so (my target buy point from here, maybe late Sept.), yours truly buys lots and lots of January call options. Now, third quarter AOL announces good earnings and the split! The shorts are squeezed out, and we're off to the races! Yours truly buys another precision german automobile. :-)
