Thanks for the comeback. Does anyone know if AOL is utilizing ASDL? David

Amazing that with a stock price of 145, we can still get $700 per contract for the May 165 covered calls (19% return in less than a month, even if called away). Whuddacountry!

There are always jitters before a big number as well. Let's face it, a lot is riding on the earnings. A weak # will kill this stock. A flat # will send it down to the 130s. We all know that we need a strong number. A stellar number will send us to 200. AMZN's success can be read in 2 ways. The 2 stocks have always traded closely. First, we can see it as very positive that AMZN is hitting new highs after the vicious selloff and that AOL will soon follow. The negative way is to ask why AOL hasn't made it to those highs as quickly especially since both stocks are trading with pre-earnings nervousness. Are insiders selling? Traditional Wall St analysts said that this week's selloff was long overdue and that the stocks wouldn't recover quickly. Well AMZN has proved them dead wrong. The technicals do bother me(15 day ma very divergent from 25 day ma often signals short-term correction), but I am leaning toward the positive and that we will have a great #. For some reason 15 cents keeps hitting my brain.
