Ditto! I am also very pleased with TDA.
"i look forward to changes requiring
id's known for posters .. one *alias* per poster :0"
Yes! At least iHub enforces this rule. Yahoo is a zoo!
These boards will be so much better when manipulators and multiple ID posters have to have their real names posted! When the stock boards started out, I always posted under my real name... and never had a problem!
I'd love site ratings too... why can't they block underage kids from sites that contain stuff that they can't see in a theater? We card them to see R movies at a theater, but they can see XXX in their homes!
That's awesome! I see no reason that cyberspace is anonymous
in the first place!
If I were a prospective investor and I kept reading here that there was a mother ship i.e. Knight Capital (a $1.4B market cap company) shorting and trying to destroy EXPH share value, I'd think twice about buying/holding shares.
I think that this is NOT factual, and really shouldn't be rehashed here daily when it conflicts the public short data published on pinksheets.com. I'll be happy when the dividend is issued and puts this unsubstantiated rumor to rest.
If EXPH experiences an otherwise unexplainable strong high volume buying frenzy prior to the dividend being issued, I will be the first to admit that I was wrong about the short position.
Again, I do not see this dividend as a bad thing, and the news today should have allayed many concerns about the dividend's structure...
"Which aspect are you implying is positive? The part about shareholders voting or the part about being "dept free and nearly immediately income producing." Can you elaborate a little more SB?"
Both... additionally having only 110M authorized for Etc. is HUGE for investor confidence. Many thought that this would lead to massive dilution, and this fear can now be put to rest.
I'm surprised that the shares are not trading back at pre-dividend announcement levels already.
Well, I guess the market has to absorb the shares of at least one large exiting flipper...
This is definitely a positive development!
"Will the etc. stock dividend force EXPH shorts to cover?"
I believe so...
All 992M shares will get a dividend paid to them. If someone is short, they owe the dividend to the stockholder. Since the dividend is not money, but rather private shares that can not be purchased anywhere (at this time), they would have no choice but to cover prior to the dividend.
If one were confident that a large short position really does exist, EXPH shares could really fly between now and the end of the year.
For the record, I am not a believer in a large short position here. I see the rather small short numbers shown on pinksheets.com, and have no reason to challenge their accuracy. However, JD may be privy to numbers that the rest of us are not.
Over the years I've had to teach this simple truth to many people and boards...
L2 bid/ask on pink sheet stocks is not 100% accurate and should NOT be viewed as such.
The minute that you accept this simple truth... all conspiracy theories blow up!
"Man it would be nice if moving to higher exchange would stop the manipulation."
I have yet to see one iota of evidence of manipulation. Funny how this gets thrown around here as a fact... For those that subscribe to the black helicopter theory... what are you going to focus on after the dividend? It will effectively eliminate any possibility of naked shorts on that day.
I asked this before, and did not get an answer...
Does anyone know if the dividend is still subject to shareholder approval?
Didn't JD say in a previous release that the dividend would require shareholder approval? Is this no longer the case?
While I like the idea of this site, I question why anyone would be naive enough to actually buy the recommended stock? Clearly no one makes a killing but the people who buy beforehand. Is it the hope of selling to a later wave of naive investors who see the activity in the stock and go with the trade?
I was thinking of attending...
Fivestar is 100% correct about NITE.
We don't see eye to eye on many things, but I am 100% in agreement with you on the MM conspiracies.
The explanation is VERY simple... level 2 feed data is incomplete. NITE matches their own buyers and sellers behind the scenes and out of the view of L2.
"he sat on the 2Q financials for two months. He had them in his hands and just kept telling people soon."
How do you know this?
"they show the 5k
and seconds later one can observe the
bid ask being lowered ~ again i'm only
talking about exph"
What is the bid size? Let me guess... 5k?
Thanks for the clarification.
"He said they haven't hit the Alabama Lowes stores yet because the ETC rollout had really just started, but to let him know when I was ready to start the reno and I would be able to get the product I want."
When was it announced that ETC was being sold at Lowes?
"Only 10,000 store fixtures contract could easily bring $17M revenues($1700 per store)."
What is the source of your $1700 fixture price?
"WHO ARE THE TOP THREE HOME IMPROVEMENT COMPANIES?"
Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards? Am I right? I'm not sure about Menards...
"but i thought you might
have more specific knowledge
based on some of your past posts"
Nope, you were mistaken...
Just what is available on www.easytoinstall.com, why?
Are you going to answer my question? This is headed OT and will probably get deleted.
"i'd rather hear your take
on that subject than mine"
I have no take on that subject as I have no idea what you are talking about. Please elaborate...
4k...
Can you elaborate on this point please?
"they created a product that can and
will replace one already in existence
and in doing so they upset a few apple carts
including *one* .. here"
Whose apple cart did EXPH upset?
It is legit...

Taki,
I'm confused, what is the relevance of this link?
Pinksheets is sometimes the best info out there, and many investors use this for research. Getting rid of the stop sign should be a top priority!
My best to JD and his dad. Anyone have an update?
Do you own the car in your picture? I own 3 "Stangs" myself!
"I don't know either..but it could be that your cabinet designs and or patents you say you have..just might be in competition with EXPH in the near future.."
"Name one cabinet that you have designed that is being sold or might be sold by a major retailer?? TIA"
Cabinets are not just for storage... Wooden enclosures are called "cabinets" too! 99% of the distribution of what I have designed is not sold though retailers. It is not possible for the product to be in competition with EXPH...
EXPH should probably explore making product enclosures rather than just cabinets and store fixtures...
Don't rub it in...
Like everyone here doesn't wish they were aware and bought EXPH at .0006? :)
"The success of this product seems pretty evident. You don't want it to succeed?"
I wouldn't say evident, IMO, but I hope it succeeds. There are many people invested here... I certainly don't want them to lose money!
"HUM wonder why?"
I don't know... why do you think?
"This one is not that complex, you might want to have a talk with the CEO? : ))))"
Your point makes NO sense! Aren't we talking about the statistics of patents and the probability of commercial success of them? How will talking to JD address that?
"I forgot to mention that currently most cabinetry stocked currently are imported. "
I'm not sure what your source for this is? I looked around HD and Lowes and it seemed that 100% of what I saw was domestic made. I think all or most of Ikea's stuff is imported.
Thanks for posting that Taki!
"Did you call JD regarding your questions with EXPH? I'm sure he'd love to talk to you.....let us know how it goes....we all want to know"
- I doubt he'd take my call... I'm sure he hates me for not accepting things at face value.
"I would have to guess by your post
that at least one or more of your patents deal with cabinets since you posted this.. "
- Nope. I have worked in many different industries.
"Could you please supply us with a link to one of your patents that is in direct competition to what EXPH is offering"
-Nothing that I have ever designed competes with EXPH in any way.
Thanks for the link. Very interest bit there on short selling from Cramer.
"Could someone forward these questions to JD so he can answer them? I'd suggest someone who has been in frequent communication with him."
Has anyone stepped forward to volunteer to forward those questions to JD? It seems like he really needs to put some of these concerns about NDAs on everything to bed!
