AOL's vols are 'only' around 75% these days; when it cracked 150, I held my nose & bought puts. I hope the stock now mimics Dell's.

When Dell threatened to shoot through 110 (pre-split), the implied volatility on the options was pushing 100%. I held my nose and bought puts while the Dell bulls were shorting them for 'free money'.
