I'm not holding any shares of this stock, but it seems to me that eventually the holders of the forward-split shares will have to have their shares delivered and cleared for selling and actually having the proceeds of that sell to use as they wish, or everyone involved has acted in a manner that has brought discredit to the NASDAQ.
Ameritrade, DTCC, and everyone else can dance around this and investigate and try to figure out what to do, but eventually that's what has got to happen or the NASDAQ will start looking like Ken Lay.
It's done. The card has been layed and played. Sorry they screwed up on the forward split ex-dates, but it's a done deal and now someone has got to cover the shares awarded in the dividend.
But can you just imagine the behind-the-scenes scrambling going on right now? Good grief, I'll bet there are some people at NASD that stayed there all night.
