"Doesn't this all seem like a remarkably convuluted, deeply involved and financially overly complicated process to accomplish such a simple task? I am frequently amazed that more people don't question that simple but obvious anomaly."
I hope I don't step on to many toes here but you guys got me off of my lazy butt to create an account so that I could post my 2 cents on what's being said here.
This is my personal view and my opinion only:
1. I think the only reason why this is becoming convuluted is because you guys are making it that way, lol.
2. I may be simplistic and naive but come on guys "FREE SHARES" what more can you ask for? (well, im sure there is more). Sure, they may not be worth much now or even never but what if down the road they do get some kind of value. This is investing isn't? I believe management/EXPO believes it will be of value.
3. Heck I'll take this dividen over any forward split in penny land. Just look at LFBG, they did a forward split and it did run but overall more dilution, now look at it. To my knowledge no dilution of EXPH shares here, i'll take that any day.
4. Trust, why invest if you don't have some kind of trust in management? To me, I'll give management the benefit of the doubt. Until they show me otherwise, then I will trust. A good example of that is SPNG, I made quite a bit there but they broke the trust, simple as that.
I guess what I am saying is look at what you got in front of you. A company that is doing business with other real companies (and just not any real companies but large companies). EXPH was doing fine without ETC in the first place, ETC was just an addition to my knowledge. I believe the real focus should be on the finanicals and if EXPO is really making money and if they are going to hit the guidance. I think the dividen is just a bonus, IMO.
I think your make it harder than what it really is, IMO. Sorry for the long message. I feel a little better now. GLTA
