What surprise are you looking for? To wake up and learn that the ETC dividend has been paid without an official ex-date being set? That will be a PR nightmare. I don't want to see it go down that way. Set the date officially at least one to two weeks in advance, and let the market do its thing with EXPH. It's the way things are done on Wall Street.
Only 6 trading days left, 4Kids...then this period will be over and we move onto the next one...I, personally am very excited about what transpires after the Div Ex-Date!!! It is going to be VERY INTERESTING and that is why alot of what you see now is happening...on the board and on the pps.
There is going to be alot of good news for long shareholders, but the noose is getting tighter each day....
