brikk,

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:

(m)(n) - Dahlman Rose
(q)(w) - Weiss Investment Management

Penn Capital was also very active in this deal.

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.

Brodkowitz did not return a phone call seeking comment. Brodkowitz and Vermut, who will comanage the new fund, co-managed the industrial portfolio at Chicago-based BAM, a $1bn hedge fund firm that was founded in 2001 by Dmitry Balyasny, a former Schonfeld Securities trader.
