David, DTPI was issued in a terrible market as I recall. It started out with a very low premium. Shortly after, the whole small cap area and sfe rebounded. Off the subject,it looks like a lot of our stocks positions are similar, I hope you have some that are behaving better than some of my holdings. Good luck, Robert D.

David, They may be delaying for market conditions to improve, but I thought that was part of the whole point of the rights offering process: a receptive, knowledgeable base to receive the IPO. You know, something like 97% exercise rate, 65% individual ownership, etc. Anyway, you are probably right (if they are delaying), since maybe Safeguard is tired of supporting these offerings for long periods (they must have better things to do with their cash than buy OAOT, DOCC, and CVSN, but maybe not). Maybe they should just issue convertible warrants or something, instead of shares. Low liquidity, but it would force investors to hold until a good price and trading range for a more mature company was reached. And I'm sure everyone's stocks are doing better than mine :-o --John
