...these "snippets" refer to holders of C shares, and the R shares that will be allocated for conversion. let's talk D shares.

I am new to this thread and to the stock world in general. I have recently invested in this stock via a "hot tip"! I hope I have done the right thing. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. K. W.

Unless they have changed the rules since last year, the great majority [95%+] of Class D shares resulting from 1997 Class C conversions have already been issued, based on 1997 estimated earnings, as of mid-January 1998. The only shares remaining to be issued after the 1997 results are published this week will "true up" the previously issued shares to the actual C to D conversion ratio. I'm certain Kiewit's stock registrar can confirm this. It can be confusing, what with those R shares floating around. The point is that the Class D shares that you think will be flooding the market have been available since the first of the year. Ask any Kiewit employee that converted the past two years.
