That's what I thought, too, up until this weekend. That's what all the posts were about (particularly those from Uriah Heep). The shorts can cover their HQNT shares through 4/24 (the day before it goes ex-dividend) and relieve themselves of the SNDH dividend liability.

We're all waiting in eager anticipation for the 25th. I bought a few more HQNT today adding to my already sizeable (for me, anyway) position. Even if this dividend event fizzles, I believe DC has lots of backup ammo he's holding in reserve, ready to release between now and the 25th.

Good luck to all of us longs.
