The DFTS dividend is supposed to go to NMKT shareholders of record as of July 1, 2005. This makes no sense whatsoever. Most of the people that receive the DFTS dividend will no longer own NMKT stock. These people will have little interest in DFTS since they no longer own NMKT and will probably just sell their shares. The people that own NMKT stock now will be upset when they find out that they aren't getting any dividend. It seems like it would make a lot more sense to pay the dividend to current NMKT shareholders. They would be more interested in DFTS and would be more likely to keep their shares. I still remain positive, but continue to be frustrated by a lack of information regarding the major issues facing the company. These are the AMEX listing, the stock dividends, the share reductions and the stock buyback. These are the most important issues facing NMKT and none of these have been resolved. We just have a lot of promises that haven't been fulfilled. I will continue to hold for the long term. I am convinced that some day these issues will get resolved. I just think it has taken longer than it should and that Phil has done a terrible job of explaining why to NMKT shareholders.
