paunch, We have our shares from NMGL they are being held for us by Western Diversified a subsidiary of FFGO.
NMGL has paid in full all that they are contractually required to, and if the contract states that those A&B shares will earn 3% annually then NMGL will pay that amount to whoever is holding those shares.
Those A&B shares are being held in abeyance until all other contractual conditions are met, then they will be issued to shareholders including any and all interest accumulated.
If in fact that 3% is cash and not additional a percentage of A&B shares, then the shorts will be forced to cover any short that occurred, by the fact that FFGO is heavily shorted, and we will only again receive IOU's to our accounts,however any cash will force a cash payout by the shorters.
One major item that must be understood, any short in FFGO will trigger a short in any dividend that FFGO issues unless it;s CASH!
