Bulls,
I mentioned that exact scenario the first time I called TD directly. The rep had no comment on that.
kk
I just received an email from TDAmeritrade explaining why EXPH buy orders can't be placed.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to explain why you are unable to open a new position for EXPH Online. At this time, you will not be able to place a buy order for EXPH. You may only sell this stock if you hold it in your account. This stock is restricted to closing transactions only.
TD AMERITRADE wishes to make as many stocks available as possible for on-line trading. It is also prudent, at times, to restrict certain securities from on-line trading, including the one you have asked about. TD AMERITRADE has made a business decision to accept no opening orders for this security. Our business decision is based on a ruling by industry regulators that makes settlement for the security difficult.
In the ordinary course of the many systems and processes implemented to protect client assets, TD AMERITRADE regularly monitors trading patterns for possible questionable trading activity. It has been recognized by the financial industry that certain securities, particularly Pink Sheet or Bulletin Board stocks, are more vulnerable to manipulative trading activity. The specific reasons for a decision of this type are confidential. Please consider that such decisions are made after careful consideration of what is in the best interest of our clients and TD AMERITRADE.
TD AMERITRADE constantly monitors the stocks that are restricted from on-line trading and will remove securities from the list when appropriate.
Thank you for your understanding and for choosing TD AMERITRADE.

Interesting to see they mention manipulative trading activity, huh!

GamblerNC,
Excellent post!
kk
seabiscuit,
I agree with you regarding JD being open to criticism...even vehement criticism...but slander? I think not.

js15471,
You deserve to be added to my "Person Mark" list! Thanks for your insight into the cabinetry. Very much appreciated.
I also have a close friend here in So Cal who only does custom cabinetry work (usually over $10K/order and quite often over $100K/order). Most of his clientele are VIP's and I can't wait for him to give me some feedback on the new ETC line of cabinets. Anyone know of a vendor in So Cal carrying the ETC line? If not, I'll give JD a call next week to see if he can give out that info yet.
Have a great weekend,
kk
coyotoe50243,
How can that be when it's supposed to be all about supply and demand as some are saying is so obvious? Weren't some of the brokers experiencing FTD's as well? Something just doesn't smell right when you can't buy a stock, but you can sell it, huh!
kk
goldstandard,
I haven't sold a share and don't plan on selling until I see at least a nickel.
kk
4kids,
Exactly! The mothership is running away!
kk
mach,
Could it be someone working through NITE trying to take down EXPH?
Curiously,
kk
What is the delay with the fins? If JD plans on taking this stock or ETC to another board, he had best start practicing on getting the fins out in a timely manner.
kk
Wishing all EXPH longs a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! 2010 will be our year.
kk
Wow! Are the shorts starting to cover?
kk
4kids,
Never mind. It went right back down to .0035.
kk
4kids,
Ask just jumped up to .0046!

What's up with L2?
kk
Braden,
What about the Home Builder's market? The KB Homes, Pulte Homes, Lennars, etc., could be ETC. customers in the near future as well. I would love to see new home buyers choosing ETC. cabinets from a model home.
kk
Braden32601,
My thought process on the cabinet patent is this. If the retailers, commercial customers, and the buying public fall in love with these cabinets, I would have to believe the other cabinet mfgs. are going to have no choice but to jump on the Etc. bandwagon. This could be a sizable windfall for Etc. and all shareholders.
Yeah...I'm excited! Bring on that divy, JD!
Risk vs. reward...plain and simple.
kk
Hey, owgur!
I, for one, hope you're flaming right!
kk
fivestar,
this is NOT a message board revolt that created this cluster muck, it's the CEO of Expo Holdings that did this.. if you don't believe me, ask TDA!
I called TDA the day after the restricted trading of EXPH and they couldn't tell me the reason for the restriction. Are you saying they told you why EXPH was restricted? I went over many scenarios with the TDA rep and he said he couldn't say if it was NSS or anything the CEO had done.
TIA,
kk
kondo,
My sentiments exactly.
kk
Sandlizzard123,
I couldn't agree more!
kk
millionaire_09,
Exactamundo!!! I agree with you 110%. When you watch how stocks trade day in and day out, you know what is a normal trading pattern and what isn't. Then again, this is pinky land and there is a lot of scum running rampant in this arena. Definitely not a level playing field IMHO. Can't wait for JD to take EXPH & ETC to the next level!
kk

fivestar,
You just now figuring that out, huh?!
kk
4kids,
You are good! Thank you for confirming what many on this board know is going on with this stock. Those that refuse to believe EXPH is being manipulated could take a few lessons from 4kids.
Okay, now I'm ready for the Q3 to be released!
kk
topweb,
I couldn't agree more and I am definitely looking forward to that divy!!!
kk
topweb,
Ain't that the truth. I have a real good one to compare to EXPH and that is the reason I sold all of it and put it into EXPH. JD as a CEO is head and shoulders above almost all other OTCBB and pinky CEO's IMHO.
kk
fivestar,
I would have thought you knew the answer to the question below:
just a test, do you know what conspirators are keeping the pps in this range today?
kk
Kapla,
4kids daily explanation of what is going on with this stock is making more and more sense, you think?! I believe she knows what the problem is and has been. Contrary to some posters on this board who say everything is on the up and up with MM's. Yeah, right! LOL
kk
Omega3Man,
I agree with you. I'm long on EXPH and I hope we're all in for a big surprise when the Q3 comes out. Thanks for your support...and here I thought you were out to bash EXPH!
kk
Sandlizzard123,
No. I believe they just sent me the generic reply letting me know they received my complaint and blah, blah, blah.
kk
4kids,
I sent in a complaint to the SEC and I got a reply as well. If enough shareholders do the same, maybe the SEC will not have any choice but to really look into the ongoing manipulation of EXPH.
kk
ZNSTATED,
Your post seems to make so much more sense when facts are brought forth. I guess that poster just isn't as well-informed as he thought he was. Another lesson for a newbie to MM's.
kk
NorthLion,
There are other longs out there who may not be included on Gambler's list. I know three of us who may not have been included on that list. We are long on EXPH and have not sold a penny's worth since July. In fact, we'll be buying more EXPH after the 1st of the year!!!!
kk
B_C_Bill,
I believe you may be correct!
kk
spl,
If we only knew who all those buyers and sellers were, huh! LOL
kk
varok,
Excellent!
Thank you,
kk
4kids,
Does anyone know who the consultants and advisors are that JD is working with on the spin off?
"The spin off of ETC was put together by JD using professional consultants and advisors to the long term benefit of the shareholders."
Thanks in advance,
kk
Thurston,
Thank you for your take on the SH's meeting.
kk
B_C_Bill,
I feel the same way. I'm in this for the long haul. I can certainly wait until at least Q1 or Q2 of 2010 and then reevaluate my position at that time. There still could be a lot more upside to this stock in the future.
