Last post of the day.
If the MMs choose to continue selling naked shorts, then yes, they would come from the MMs. Otherwise, they would come from divi divers who just bought for the special dividend. If neither of these options are available, then nobody will be buying shares with divi money. It won't be from lack of trying though. As for me, I'll use the divi to buy neat stuff.
On the whole "where's the dividend coming from" thing goes, we are almost at the end of the quarter. The previous quarter may not show the funding, but then the previous quarter's filing is not going to reflect this quarter's profits earned, nor will it reflect the Monk's Den profits.
