Hey C.McD, I guess all of this falls under the category of "been there, done that". I have always given these guys high marks for making the most out of what they have......and for the record, I do believe the ever changing SEC rules and regulation has gotten us......as it has another much larger stock I own. This process is much like the cruel dentist who decides to pull one wisdom tooth per week for 4 weeks.....It does get done, but the pain is experienced over and over. Most of us are Americans.....and thus, waiting is very painful. I think AI will have a series of positive promotional things to say.....over a period of time, in order to draw attention to the company and create a more exciting opening. I don't think they are able to set this in motion until they have permission to trade. Permission to trade will come after AI has submitted the additional information to the SEC and the SEC has given it's blessing. Unless I'm wrong, which could be, whatever additional information AI must submit.....will be submitted in an additional filing...or amended filing, which should show up on Edgar. I think that is the place to be looking for progress in this process. I think the trading symbol being assigned is not a reflection of timing of the trading of the stock.......I believe it is more of a formality......but would indicate that the dividend share foul up has been taken care of...or sorted out. So........As unpopular as my opinion my be....I think we are several weeks from trading.....but closer to what should be a rather exciting time......one in which I look forward to the start of a promotional campaign......where AI becomes known as a cool little stock. In the mean time......I still feel that the conference call for BANY on Thursday must be about BANY......and I'm excited about the chance that BANY may have some news or developments to report..... The internet market looks like it is a strong one.......and I don't think all of this delay stuff will hurt AI at all.......People are beginning to feel the internet is a real thing......and I believe AI gets stronger as every day goes by.......I'm in favor of a very strong opening, more than a speedy one. bg
