the corollary to this, of course, is that the DPDW insiders have known this too, and, with their eyes on the long term prize, accepted the conversions to common.
The difference between DPDW and many other stocks is that the DPDW insiders knew the long term payout would be best if they were placed on an equal footing with institutions and others buying, or considering buying now.
Lots of other companies' management teams failed this test--they took they quick profit and ran. DPDW's team knows they have the right engine in place to make something very special.
