$DRYS Reverse Stock Splits to Sell: DryShips (DRY
Post# of 2218
To the credit of DryShips Inc. (NASDAQRYS), the company is doing everything it can not to go down with what seems to be a sinking ship. If a reverse stock split is a red flag for an investor, DRYS shareholders should be fairly concerned at this point, to say the least.
DRYS stock underwent a 25-to-1 reverse split last March, a 4-to-1 reverse split last August, a 15-to-1 reverse split in November and an 8-to-1 reverse split last week.
DryShips management is trying desperately to maintain its $1 share price requirement to maintain a listing on the Nasdaq. The market is having none of it. DRYS stock is down a whopping 99.8% in the past year. Incredibly, the stock was down 78% in only six trading days after it announced its most recent reverse stock split.
The company is drowning in debt, and the market knows it. Unless you are a short-term trader looking for another massive, short-term short squeeze or a dead-cat bounce, stay away from DRYS stock.
