So who thinks there will be a market for these shares come Monday?

Frank, Ameritrade cannot be short.

They are an online broker only and as such they accept trade orders to buy or sell securities and they deliver those orders through their clearing division to the appropriate market, market maker, or ECN for execution. The do not trade on their own account or make a market in any security.


The above is quoted from Ameritrade Compliance Department's letter to the CMKX owner's group found here:
