A preferred share dividend would prove everything.
If DBMM refuses to act, that tells you all you need to know.
I agree. If DBMM does not want to act to expose the existence of a naked short position?
There are two distinct possibilities:
1. DBMM knows there is NO naked short position in DBMM and doesn't see the need to act on trying to expose something that is non-existent.
2. DBMM knows there IS a naked short position and does not want to expose it.
This last idea has been floated around before here on this board (and others). It's been rumored that the possibility exists that DBMM is trying to protect some players that are involved in any "naked shorting" that went on in DBMM. I have no idea of whether or not this is true. But if management was hedging their bets at the time of the SEC suspension? Who knows, but it's been suggested by some (not me - I have no idea of anything being true about this) that possibly someone close to DBMM was in league with the company to naked short DBMM. That way, if DBMM did go BK and went out of business, they could still profit from it.
If that is true (and I'm not saying it is - just that it is certainly possible), that could be a reason why no one from DBMM even breathes a WORD about even the possibility of a naked short share existence in DBMM.
