I can't imagine why there would be a problem with the buyout. The buyer is getting a steal and the company can make some money in the short term. Your post sounds like a bunch of BS to me. IMHO.
That's funny, I just got thru to Jeremy and he told me everything was going smoothly and that there was no difficulties with the buyout process. Are you sure you called him?
Just spoke to Jeremy and he expressed absolutely no concern about the buyout to anyone (so moneytome you must be delusional) because he'll know when everyone else will ... he did state they were having discussions with the NASD concerning the dividend.
What I do know is that the company sets the record date: 15 Feb 2007 in this case. Once the NASD approves the ex div date is usually 3 days later.
You may look like a genius in the near future, tradable not investable. The only night I had trouble sleeping was one night last week. When I held this stock overnight.
