AOL.. I was thinking about your question yesterday.. My strategy was in buying GCTY, and AMZN last night and holding GNET. Why? simply because I agree with you that AOL will have a blockbuster report but I'd rather be in a company that *MIGHT* have more upside in the same sector. Now, Michael, if GCTY has a blockbuster report I'm 1 day ahead of the report, and expect to make gains for both days: today, tomorrow (a gap up at least) and possibly Friday). The same with GNET.. If GCTY and AOL have good reports how much more so for the future of GNET which HAD a good report but was caught up in a general internet correction at the time of the report. I followed the same strategy with GTW, buying GTW before the IBM report. My only error was in selling AOL yesterday and I would not have sold even after a good gain on the option if I held onto the stock. A better strategy would have been all of the above plus just holding on to AOL.. I would have been mighty proud if I had managed to get all the balls in all the holes for a perfect score! And if you want even more fodder to ponder on try this: How about picking up ELNK which is almost at its day low while MSPG is at its day high?
