Dr Bill: I can't make you understand.
Analogies are meant to clarify relationships by using totally unrelated examples that have a similar relationship. If you fail to understand that, then by all means, I am talking to a thick brick wall. Analogy example: A slow-moving cat is to a very fast-moving mouse as Dr Bill is to even the most mundane explanations.
By the way, my analogy was not comparing the setting of Ex-Div Dates to eating breakfast and putting on a tuxedo. My analogy was actually meant to compare the acquisition of CTT to eating breakfast and putting on a tuxedo. Then again, a thick, brick wall would fail to see all that, wouldn't it?
Also, I get the air that you totally disregard the possiblity that the current path is to have NO Ex-Div Date. I see, now; you make yourself out to know and understand more than an SEC attorney who specializes in these specific matters.
