we pushed over 20M with ease this morning...
If I remember correctly, his family or rumors of his family and friends getting in, were circulating around July/August/Sept last year. I want to say they started buying in the 30s. It was around the time the candle company talks started coming out.
I would say they are averaged in the 30s unless they took full advantage of the .000's
I think you are more patient than most. Many will not hold as long as you hold. Many will be out at .003 I would believe... especially if we see even the slightest move that resembles a sell off
20% gain is healthy.... I'm not gonna complain at all.
I figured Fins will bring me back the cheapies..haha for a week then expect more pops then drops as the ball continues to roll.
still with my 4M shares strong... GO EXPH
hahaha nice to see some humor on this board for a change
many are worse off than you and waiting for this to pop back to its full potential.
finally a string of positive posts.... I haven't seen this board this active since last July when I was in the desert watching this thing pop up to .0040
fivestar, please sticky if you or other confirm all the details are correct.
Level II?
Please see if we can get a transcript from the CC if possible
Pants party? hahahah GO EXPH....
Looking good and lots of positive posts here on the board.
I will be working during the conference call, but who plans on asking questions? I hope we have some good questions lined up so they do not feel we are wasting their time. It would be embarrasing if we ask for events like this, then when we get one, we have only 2 people asking questions or listening in.
Also, do we know if they plan to record it or complete a transcript of the call?
Pele
i'm at nearly the same as you bud...
4 Million strong at .0017
not sure who we can talk to, but I hope they decide to record or complete "Conference Minutes" for the call. I cannot call in during my work hours due to some crazy schedules I have recently. Hope I can hear all the good info.
Pele
Can we place trades online for EXPH any longer? I haven't bought any new shares in good while. I was told that I needed to call in to make additional purchases. I use Scottrade.
understood completely. Just making the point that sometimes (majority of the time) people bash or pump with little substance behind it. The average reader of this forum is fed bs IMO.
I'm not in the green with this company and I'm not happy that I am in the red. I will agree they have diluted without telling exactly what they were doing and have burned some bridges in the past.
I just say that ihub seems to be more negative IMO than positive even on the stocks which do well.
sorry if i'm getting off topic...and I'm definately not trying to make personal attacks at you lurker. you do a good job at stating valid concerns investors should have when looking at EXPH - dilution, finances, transparency...etc
I hate reading our PRs.
No matter how specific, optomistic, or honest the company is in a PR, this board bashes the hell out of the PR.
I sit here idle most days just reading and watching what people have to say. Some people are very good at criticizing with facts and look at both sides of the company, while others seem to just bash or pump without any real substance behind their arguements.
We have people here who ask for transparency on an item, the company gives an answer, and instead of taking that info in stride, someone complains. If I were the company CEO, I wouldn't want the additional bad press by releasing PR. GOOD or BAD, we make them all out to be negative. Tomorrow they could say "they landed a 10 million dollar deal and more details will follow." We would turn around and pick that sentence apart and make the deal look like crap when in all reality....it was a good deal and more facts would support it later. Ihub is bad for bashing the company PRs.
Yes, I know we have all be burned by the pump and dump attitude and PRs with selloffs attached, but we as investors/traders do not give this stock room to breathe either. If each of us is not making a million dollars overnight, we are not happy.
We constantly read about Harris Teeter, Walmart proposals, and various other companies who want to do business with lil' ol EXPH. Be proud of that. You all took the risk that was associated with a penny stock. You all are greedy (I am too) and want this stock to soar through the roof so we can point and laugh at those on the sidelines who didn't see the diamond in the rough. We all want to brag to our buddies over a beer and tell them how much of a trading guru/genius we are now that we have such big gains while others are losing.
Have some patience and back this company.
I don't mind people criticizing the company, but at least do it with some real facts. Pumping should follow the same guidelines as well. We are all to blame for the poor stock performance. We have been through it all -- MMs, flippers, dilution, big contracts, financials, pumpers, dumpers, and bashers.
I'm honestly proud the company finds business and has the ability to even be considered for contracts with Walmart and other large companies. I know a lot of small business who would be chompin at the bit for this type of setup. It will come around one day and until then support them or get criticize them with FACTS! It will help in the long run and convince more people one way or the other.
Sorry for the rant -
Pele
I'm hoping that when I get back from the my next deployment I come home to a fat scottrade account!!!
Thanks for the shoutout to the military!!!
LT Pele
I still have my shares!!!
Well it isn't looking too good but some of the bid opportunities do stay open for long durations. Typically its not longer than 45 days but I have seen a few 60/90 day ones for those items which have unique trades. EXPH I doubt would have anything with that type of duration.
Pele
Just because they are processed to start bidding does not mean that turnaround has to happen overnight. Sometimes the bids on projects are open for weeks at a time. The PR stated (If I remember correctly) that they are now eligable to bid on WALMART contracts. It did not say how many they bid on nor did it mention if they bid on any at all.
Our contracting office puts projects "on the street" for bids at 30 day intervals minimum. Sure EXPH could catch one of these bidding opportunities on the 30th day and have a short few week administrative wait until the Contract is awarded, or they could bid on one when it first opens. This could mean 30 days (or more) until bidding opportunity is closed + admin related paperwork to get contract awarded.
I know we keep saying we need to be patient and I'm not particularly happy that we do not get a lot of concrete info on what EXPH is up to (on paper commitment of company intent or status of work).
I would like to see them have a conference call with investors. But that might be wishful thinking right now.
Point taken. Just lots of money for grabs regardless of the year and regardless of the economy. These contracts old and new are making many small businesses fat and happy. Now shareholders of EXPH want to feel that same way...haha maybe just fat in the wallet and not the waistline.
Please read my prior post on Gov't contracts. There are plenty of them available and they are not out of EXPH realm of capabilities. I manage contracts daily which go to business far less capable than EXPH is set up. Small businesses (under $5M CAP) which we still fall under get priority on many contracts that are solicitated
GamblerNC,
Has Mr. Brown mentioned any strategy for approaching Gov't contracts? I probably should call him directly for my answers but I am just curious if any of the gameplan has been discussed to shareholders who have called recently.
Pele
I have no reason to post. I'd rather read less bickering than have 100 posts of people pointing fingers and badmouthing each other and the company. I'm content.
While I agree the WMT contract or bids on those contracts (and hopefully landing one) is a big step, I think we need to hit up some of these Gov't Agencies.
I work with Gov't contracts on a daily basis and there is a lot of money out there for the contractors who seek oportunities and complete work on time and with good quality.
The fiscal year ends on Oct 1 (midnight of Sept 30). With the stimulus money in the system and many bases/agencies taking full use of this perk, there will be left over (unobligated) monies which can be spent on a wide array of contracts.
If EXPH is proactive with their acquisitions of contracts, they may be able to bid on mulitple contracts at Ft. Bragg or any of the large bases in Georgia, etc. This is a gold mine and small CAP businesses have an advantage at many of the bases/agencies when they look at awarding contracts.
Mr. Brown, please take a look at these contracts as well. I'm sure you have with such a large installation so close to the factory. GOOD LUCK!

That is almost a positive comment from you.... ALMOST.... ahha just giving you a hard time.
We can dream up 100 ideas, but just like everything else, we need management to buy off on them. I support this company and I feel that we have a real company, but it seems we can never land or complete an entire contract that has some meat to it. The $22M contract had spools and spools of red tape to cut through and when we finally did cut through it all, we realized that we only completed a smaller portion of that work.
I'm glad the stock price has held up so well over the past few disaster days on the large boards. However, there are more opportunities out there we can excercise but the real question is will we go out there and find them. Maybe we have some under negotiations already.
That is not necessarily true.
As a civil engineer in the Air Force, I Supervise the Service Contract division of our squadron. Granted there is not a huge demand on Air Force bases in one demographic to receive shelving or cabinets but there could be a market for some Government agencies. I would see many Gov't needs to be a "One time Service Contract". Pretty much saying that they would outfit a building or series of buildings 1 time and get that contract put together.
Depending on how many other companies bid on these types of projects and who has the lowest bid, it is possible they could land a number of small service contracts or a large outfit of an entire base. https://www.fbo.gov/ shows all government needed work which any company can bid on regardless of audited financials.

very Low volume
Some good news would be welcomed. I need to get back over .0016 and I'll be happy again.
In theory...... but unfortunately it seems like this one likes to nose dive lately... I'm still in on my position but its hard to pump anything more into this stock until at least some light shines at the other end of the tunnel.
I believe it's a real company and I believe that one day I may see a nice return. I think that is what keeps my money in the stock..... I have that gambling itch. I don't want to kick myself a few years from now for selling out of what may be a nice company once they get their heads on straight and get some money under their belts to get this place pumping. Good luck EXPH....
Oh and ummm..... GO STEELERS!!!! 6-times!!!!
Pele
Probably because he/she feels this stock may never get out of the BS we deal with day to day. I have tried to keep my distance from watching this everyday. I still have my 4M shares and well my cost average is low, but I'm still in the red for a while. I have fears I might not see the green any time soon and I have thought about freeing up some cash if I can but I also am being greedy and hoping this thing will shoot up towards the stars one day.
Sometimes the company seems legit, and other times it seems like a scam.....
my money is still here...no point in selling at a loss... I'll weather the storm...
one of your better posts..... fact and not too much emotion in that one.
agreed
whole market is moving.....
we aren't :(
I got some of those 12s and I have to say it has helped out my average a lot!!!
I had an order in for 12 and 10
