Sure, if you invested $8-10 ten years ago, lost all your money, and all of a sudden 25% is back, you might choose to take it.
However, if you look at the press releases, as far as certificate shares, only about a million shares went from cert to DTCC over the past year. That tells me most old shareholders were sleeping. But remember this was a big NASDAQ company 10 years ago and some mutual funds held shares. They could have seen the green and sold off.
