I too use Scottrade and so far ... same old stock symbol and quantity. Wouldn't your bidwhacking senerio only hold up if everyone was required to convert back at the same time. It's my understanding that you have to wait the 3 month term and then you are free to convert back whenever you like.
I too use scottrade and same deal here. I think as more people gain control of their shares, you will start to see some sells. The current pps is some what fabricated. right now, the only people who can sell are the people who own the company. you may see some here and there but not enough to make a difference.
I think when people have the ability to sell, then we will know the true value of the stock. I just hope that Paul doesn't act like a typical pinky CEO and get what he can by dumping the rest of the 5 bil into the market.
