Jna, I don't know what the min. holding period is, set by the SEC, but it is my understanding that a deal can be structured any way that is mutually agreeable, and usually the holding period is a year or two in the acquisitions that I've read about.

Under certain circumstances, I understand that the shares could come available in as soon as three months. The company has not given out many details about their float in the past but is obliged to disclose when shares will come available. I wouldn't expect Amazon to comment on when the shares would be likely to be sold. Rather than continue to speculate on it, a call into Covey requesting this information by someone on this board makes sense. If you can't get through to Covey (get the run-around), fax over a request and follow it up with a call. If that doesn't work, then have your attorney fax a request. This stuff should eventually come out in the 10qs and other fed filings. But even those may not give a compiled or up to date picture of the situation.
