DNA Brands Inc (DNAX)

[Ed the Trader]

"Paying new employees in stock is one thing, I don't see that happening imo."

A couple of things one does have to remember is that currently, Adrian would seem to be the only employee of DNA Brands, Inc. and also until this point, Adrian has not owned a single share of DNAX common stock.

Perhaps, Adrian wishes to change this fact to both give him some skin in our game as well as provide himself with some real upside on a personal basis when the PPS does rise.

All Adrian was holding until now was Series F preferred shares. That is the control block for the company, so he cannot really sell those shares to make himself richer if the company is doing better unless he wants to completely sell the company to someone else. I don't think that is what he wants. Therefore, Adrian needs a different vehicle to give himself a substantial piece of the upside when it occurs. That means he needs shares of DNAX common stock.

Maybe it occurred to him that if he is going make this company take off, maybe he needs to put some of his own cash into it, and rightfully receive shares of DNAX common stock in exchange.

I am PURELY speculating here. I don't a damn thing beyond what you all know.

"I think it will be a endless river of shares into the market plus the new Bach of disgusted shareholders dumping into that river."

Remember that Rule 144 dictates that newly created shares must be held for one year (or under the recently modified rule, sometimes 6 months) before they can be sold. So, there is not going to be any big dump fest of new shares anytime soon.
