Yes, but who sold them to them?
Some great posts here today!
Owgur, an email I have from JD has the exact same header content, I just looked...
It is no big deal... a $250 license and the issue goes away...
What evidence does someone have to justify an accusation of illegal shareprice manipulation of EXPH? That is a pretty serious accusation without some evidence, no?
There was an accusation here of NSS with no evidence... that was proven false by the SEC's FTD records!
There was an accusation of a certain MM's manipulation with no evidence... that was proven false here by two daytraders!
Now we have an accusation of illegal manipulation with no evidence! 0 for 3?
What was the date of that email?
"Discussions continue with one home-center chain regarding our ETC. product"
"Discussions"? About 6 months after release, I would have hoped "negotiations" would have been the word...
You don't have to do anything. No connection to the divy at all.
Thanks owgur... I'll take the chance and open an Etrade account. I hope they aren't the next to fall.
"to me it's obvious .. tda shut down
buying into exph at around 11 am on
12/4 .. it's no secret that tda used
nite .. i suspect some folks who were
with st originally .. moved to tda and
have subsequently moved to etrade
take it fwiw .. but hypothetical
chats with a few TA's .. indicate that
etrade may be going the route of st and
and tda .. where *settlement* issues
or manipulation ~ are a concern "
Apparently another MAJOR hole has been poked in your theory... the settlement issues were a result of the company's own actions...
"I am glad to explain why TD AMERITRADE is restricting opening new positions for some securities. EXPH recently announced that they will recognize ownership or transfer of their shares only by physical certificate instead of the modern electronic book-entry system. They are encouraging shareholders to convert their stock to physical certificates."
So it is EXPH's fault ST and TDA stockholders can't buy shares?
I have NEVER heard of a TA being gagged for a share buyback in a stock. Ever. Anyone else ever seen that?
What I have seen is that they announce a buyback, and then do it openly. Why gag positive info?
Try this:
William Warden
Company: Bassett Furniture Industries Inc.
Executive title(s): Director
State: Virginia
Industry: Furniture and Fixtures
Description:
William C. Warden, Jr. is director of Bassett Furniture Industries Inc. Mr. Warden is Private Investor. Executive Vice... (More)

JD said the retailer has 100 stores... Lowes has just a couple more than that!
I think the obvious Lowes connection is why people didn't look deeper!
I have a guess on the unannounced retailer...
Bassett Furniture Industries Inc (BSET)
William C. Warden was quoted in the release that JD made on September 15th... "This is an innovative product demonstrating their knowledge of the industry and their entrepreneurial spirit. Wilkes County has a long tradition of successful manufacturing operations and innovativeness such as this product,” stated William C. Warden."
William C. Warden is a Director of Bassett...
BSET is VA (i.e next to NC) based and is a national retailer...
They have 103 stores (including 4 in NC)...
They sell custom made furniture and other home furnishings...
I think that Basset meets every criteria JD put forth!

Thoughts?
Any accountants in the crowd?
If the dividend happened on 1/1, that would have been a clean split from an accounting standpoint. Since the companies will be 2 separate entities, is there a significance to the quarterly reporting period? I guess what I am asking is... is the next practical date for the dividend April 1st?
"Great day on EXPH closing at .0029"
Seriously? It was a $29 paint trade...
How does that warrant a "great" day?
"but the one thing i come back to ~ is it's all
interwoven and obviously complex .. time consuming
and i suspect costly"
Why on Earth should 3Q earnings be "interwoven" with 4Q or the divy? The are totally unrelated events...
"Does anyone know when the patent for the ETC product could be approved? How long does the patent process take?"
As far as we know publicly, EXPH has not even filed a utility patent yet. They have one year from the date of their provisional filing to actually file the utility patent. The clock begins ticking at that point. Based on my experience, you should expect about 3 years to elapse from the day that you file the utility patent until the day that you are granted a patent if it goes relatively smoothly. So I would not expect a patent to be granted before late 2012 and quite likely not until a year after that. Remember, there is no guarantee a patent will ever be granted.
Hope this helps.
I got the same response from TDA awhile back.
"Are you asking the advocates so you can pounce on them with a witty comeback?"
- Not at all, why would you even suggest that?
"The answer is that the "dividend" will do nothing to stop the manipulation of exph IMO."
- I agree. Then I ask why that is mentioned frequently here as the motive for the dividend?
I've asked this before, but never seem to get an answer...
As to your statement:
"A private company cannot be manipulated by day traders"
How exactly will that benefit shareholders in EXPH?
95% of their investment is still in EXPH which is subject to traders...
As far as I can tell, the dividend will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop EXPH manipulation by day traders. Am I missing something?
I don't understand what you are trying *not* to say here...
"like i said i'll continue to monitor *said* site"
*said* site? Why should the SEC site NOT be considered to be accurate and, at the very least, the most accurate site?
Let me get this straight... you are saying that the current SEC records from the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) are not accurate for EXPH, and instead your reading of the trading tape should be trusted over them?
Wow...
The SEC's site doesn't show any FTD in EXPH. Why would that be?

Go to the report for the second half of December 2009 near the end.
Thank you sir!
"Yes, one can see installed kitchen cabinetry with standard corner configurations and I noted the lazy-susan base cabs. All these cabinets can have the face fronts, doors and drawer fronts changed to a new look or color at any time down the road. Wall cabinets come down and are re-installed using the existing fastener locations. Very simple procedure and will cut updating costs anyway you look at it."
Where did you find this info?
Venom, I know the board is busy, and you probably missed this... but can you answer my previous post please?
{Shall we assume you talked to JD today?
If so, from this: "The company will put out PRs if any material event happens or if there are any changes to the plans already mentioned"
Shall we assume that the in-store training of the retailer has occurred?}

What do people see as B/A?
TDA feed showed Bid .0034 Ask .0033 for a few minutes.
Good question. A gagged TA can't answer that!
Seriously though, it was 1B before the TA was gagged... and hopefully still is!
Well, it isn't just MMs that make up the bid.... Any investor who wants shares can bid higher, yet no one is doing so...
Seriously, what is with the crazy spread? Who is going to lose an immediate 30% on the trade? Volume will drop off the map if this continues...
.0031 x .0036?
Pretty wide spread and large decline on 215k traded...
I know this is dated, but do you have any updates on what the outcome was? They would be a good customer to have!
70k is what I see too...
"Who by the way is Satori listed as a moderator?? I thought Five Star put those links up.."
Think about it... it'll come to you...
"when doing some dd for a possible investment elsewhere, to my surprise i stumbled upon a short position on EXPH as of friday afternoon."
This statement is as useless as posting a summary of the day's trading volumes every day! Without a link, numbers, a source, something... this is totally meaningless! It could be the public short position for all we know... it probably is...
I WANT there to be a big short position for a huge pop on the divy... I have found no evidence to confirm one... and doubt that you have either. Please prove me wrong...
Veno, is a share structure changed by a dividend?
Has anyone ever seen or heard of a TA being gagged because of a dividend? I honestly have not.
