"Created W&T Offshore with $12,000—his entire life savings—1983. Took public last year; doubled company's size in January with $1.3 billion purchase of Kerr-McGee's gulf assets."
Nice. I have not gotten a chance to start getting into these names, however, I did notice who was brokering quite a few of the transactions here.
Notice that Weiss Investment Managment (not sure if this is related to Weiss Multi Strategy that owns 500k shares already) is involved in a couple of purchases. Also, Dahlman Rose has 2 other purchases by employees.
See the footnotes below and pay attention to the following ones:

Let me see DPDW has this many large investors? This is really a secret value stock. It is still under a dollar. Will try to buy some more for my roth ira. This is great!! Thanks. You get a membermark. :)Thinking about selling a ira mutual fund and buying a % in dpdw. My fund is due to dip, because the majority holder is ExxonMobil.
