John: I don't know what the long term future is for DTPI but here are a few observations: 1) The lead underwriters are Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc., and Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc., a pretty solid group, IMO. 2) Management will be going on a road show.. with positive things to say, I'm sure. Do you think they would be offering shares for sale in the near future if this quarter (at least) was weak? I doubt it. 3) The underwriters want to sell the shares so they will have positive things to say, as well. 4) The shares are destined for institutional clients, IMO. 5) I haven't read the S-1 so I can't tell you if these institutions can "flip" the shares (which would hurt the small shareholders), or if there are restrictions on selling.
