Glad I'm not the only dumb-a to short AOL after the big Monday dump (sorry lot's of emotion here folks!- gee maybe I could run a hedge fund too) - being off-site all day on Tuesday cost me ~$40K since I wasn't able to monitor/act on the pre-market stock short position I took before leaving. Least I knew enough to cover first thing today before going back offsite. Yes- I'm going back long on AOL. Winnings so far this year still are going to cover a new Dodge RAM truck (on order) with all goodies and cap gain on top; but, I'm going to have to wait on the 'vett. Going short on AOL was about the dumbest thing.. gave my ta tool too much credit (i.e. like the hedge fund quant jocks). Warning to all AOL shorters- short AOL and you too can get burned !** Thanks, I feel much better now. Best regards for the longs- should've took Vendit's heed on oversold signals reported on this board Monday evening. Go AOL / DELL! -OS
