FON has no choice. How to turn $4.2 Billion of AOL into $90 million by trading with the *DEVIL*. It's gotta sell AOL to close out the hedge position. Or in simpler terms, sell now to cut-off the ole nasty feeling of depression every time Case yells - 2 fer 1 SPLIT... hehehe.

Steeny...i'll go with #3...blowout earnings!..sometimes those gaps just don't get filled..between moving averages...but there doesn't appear to be any gaps in price which also can indicate a particular point of correction..and that doesn't always happen either...if you look at aol's long term pattern on the charts when it comes to earnings...it hasn't disappointed yet..the ta is what to keep an eye on..charts don't lie...i found once a stock breaks a pattern just before earnings..it usually has shown that someone knew something...but like today..this pullback was inevitable..no cause for alarm...now, if the stock started to sell off the last hour or two before earnings...and the market is up....when it's a favorite stock of most fund managers..THEN i'd be concern..but i'm not concern for now..even if it went down into the 130's..providing the market and other internet are down too..and this can happen if something crazy happens over the weekend with kosovo to spook the market..but for now..that hasn't done anything either...i find with certain internet stocks..it doesn't pay to try to time it..just ride it out...and aol is one of them... regards, irene
