Cyofish, I doubt that your suggestion is even feasible. Everything is priced based on current value of shares as opposed to historical price. Further, JD waited over a year before making the distribution. Should the distribution have been at the cash value as of May 1, 2006? Wouldn't that be nice? This is a matter for the regulators to straighten out. As soon as I send this I am going on line to place a complaint with the SEC. I pray that there will be dozens of complaints along with mine.
