Thanks, Rod. A little research tells me that a 13F must be filed by 45 days post end of quarter. The most recent data posted is of Dec 31. We won't know about ownership changes until the end of May.

I am a physician and the ordinary stuff of corporate regulation has always been my weakness. If anyone can help set me straight, please do. My impression is still that, other than a 10% reduction in ownership by the Bakers in Jan, there has been no increase or decrease in the holdings of our >5% owners because they would have had to declare immediately. That means the Bakers and Third Sec did not participate in the secondary, nor have they been buyers or sellers during the recent sell-off. If I am correct, we can conclude they have no insight into this issue and are awaiting resolution like the rest of us.

Although I try to read all of the SEC filings as they come out, I have always been suspicious that dark pools and the ability to short or hedge with derivatives without declaring makes these ownership filings suspect. That said, I will be very interested to see how the ownership landscape has changed when we can know.
