jetsfan, you know, when I calculated 15.8 cents following the late Jan. monthly 8-K, those numbers given to us pointed to that amount. I expect the February announcement early next week, and it SHOULD give us the numbers we don't have yet. I had said that every one penny deviation from 15.8 equaled $719,802.
Since the only unknowns in those calculations were the usual 40k per month ongoing average past trust expenses, and some other atypical wind-up expenses, it doesn't make sense to come up $3 million short.
Or is the plan to disburse an additional 4 cents on April Fool's day as a much-needed jpm PR gesture? Face it, to gig us millions while blind-folded and on our way to the gallows, is not the kind of publicity stunt we would expect from an institution whose long-term lifeblood is tied to its public image. LET'S HEAR WHAT BALLS OF IRON THINKS, since he has demonstrated a fondness for jpm and Jamie D.
