DD - I've given some thought to GE taking DRYS private and discarded it. DRYS is his golden goose and I doubt he would jeopardize not being able to tap American investors pretty much at will. I suspect the obvious big buys recently was to put a floor on the pps and also start driving it higher. My guess is his plan is to move the pps to or above book value and then sell a few of his shares for the balance of the buy back.
