Expo Holdings Inc. (EXPH)

[fourkids_9pets]

renee ..

that is a well thought out post
covering some very basic tenets
that imo ~ some have difficulty
comprehending .. after all NSS
comes about ~ due to shares *borrowed*
yet never *returned* <ie ftd's> ..
and as you correctly surmised ~ EXPH
doesn't and has never had ~ an issue of
toxicity where their shares are concerned

the irony to me is the toxicity that has been
created comes from those who have *never* made a
market in EXPH .. rather have manipulated expo's
stock .. from the git go

which is why ~ when the comment is made *they*
<and let's be clear .. there can be no doubt
in exph's case as to who calls the shots in
the *mm* dept on the otc/bb ... it's knight
securities> *make a market* .. i just laugh
since the only one guarding the hen house is
whomever is utilizing *nite* as the fox

my issue is nite allows it knowingly .. and willfully

for the past 12 months where info is *readily* available
to peruse and digest ~ what is really interesting
is nite and vert do this *tango* for months
alternating between the primary and secondary

with only two exceptions/deviations over the past 9 months ~

----

using just last month's *MM volume data* <august>
there are 16 MM's who made a market or traded shares of exph
the primary is NITE with 57.7% of all volume *traded*
the secondary is VERT with 20.5% of all volume traded
that is 78% done by the primary and secondary for august
leaving the *remaining* 22% divided up between the remaining
14 MM's ~

now what was *entire* volume done on exph last month? ~ 544,667,556 shares

now compare that to the volume done on that *one* record setting day last tuesday ~

9/15/09	0.0306	0.0385	0.0112	.012 412,826,191

now looking back over the past 12 months .. where does
the NSS *explode* and get beyond them .. that would be
june ..

if one notices the info for may of 2009 there is only
a difference between the 2 ~ of 2M ~ shares .. yet volume
has increased exponentially over the previous *months/s*
<for example ... in feb 09 .. only 39M~ traded> and once
again .. the bulk of the volume comes from only 2 ~ they
cover 58.5% of the month's total

May ~ Total Share Volume ~ 302,719,825
VERT
The Vertical Trading Group 89,676,627
NITE
Knight Equity Markets, L.P. 87,598,465

in june ~ etmm shows as the secondary and notice
the *increase* ~ the primary and secondary now total
86.5% of the entire month's volume ~

June ~ Total Share Volume ~ 482,990,120
NITE
Knight Equity Markets, L.P. 253,202,129
ETMM
E*Trade Capital Markets Llc 164,811,639

by july ~ <CC held eom with 370M~ traded the
*week* of the CC> nite <as the primary> now
has 4X the volume of the secondary .. and their
combined *volume* is 81.5%

July ~ Total Share Volume ~ 1,333,948,499
NITE
Knight Equity Markets, L.P. 880,148,954
ETMM
E*Trade Capital Markets Llc 205,232,265

lastly august ~ <most recent data available>
*volume* has dropped dramatically from july

the primary and secondary <however> combine
for a total of 77.5%

August ~ Total Share Volume ~ 544,667,556
NITE
Knight Equity Markets, L.P. 312,777,613
VERT
The Vertical Trading Group 110,446,315

so with nite aiding and abetting via *their efforts*
or lack thereof to an NSS position in EXPH that is
growing *larger* every week ~ i'm curious what some
would have jd do ..

let's face it .. nite and palc in lockstep last
monday .. tuesday and wednesday fought to prevent
*a fair market* being made in EXPH .. the trigger for
the run <which has obviously been *reset*> was without
a doubt the .033/.034 level .. i posted about labs on
the ask <in real time last week> and the *gyrations*
nite and palc undertook to avoid that ~

so i wonder ~ what in the world would make *nite* change
their stripes at this point in time ~ they've never made
a market in EXPH .. at least not since i've been watching
the tape .. there have always been legit trades .. matched
or mirrored .. shorted and covered .. with shares being
swapped or funneled to other MM's who could be *cajoled*
into this toxic brew that is knight's *standard* MO ~

<like palc apparently has been this past *week* with their
*ahem* less than 20M shares done> i'm still working on lfcm

a fair market made on exph would certainly be a nice
change of pace for everyone involved .. except for whichever
piece of work ~ has *utilized* the maestro and their minions

they are going to have to cough up $$$$$ over the coming weeks
and months ~ cause some of us are not only loyal longs

but we will also be *forcing* this hand .. as we continue
to *accumulate* counterfeit shares ~

it's nite's call .. but they no longer .. call the shots
