<< it is very short term bullish for a stock when no short shares are available, but longer term very bearish. >>

Why short term bullish??

Seems like when there are no shares to short it'd be a good time to sell some deep in the money calls out several months. Example is to sell June 10 calls on GERN for 8.5. "Short and hold" Isn't that the motto around here?

Does it look like AOL is topping out ST? Vol seems to have dropped off and the stock looks like it could easily go either way. LT I am very bullish on AOL; however, it has had a great run and is due for some sort of pullback imo.
