Expo Holdings Inc. (EXPH)

[Santa Barbara Broker]

"The fact that at least one broker is still not letting the manipulation continue..should help a little.."

I assume this is in reference to a "purchase" of EXPH stock. Question: What "manipulation" of EXPH stock is currently in progress? Why would the prevention of the dumping of shares to clientele by a broker(s) who may believe those clients do not understand the irrationality of their actions in purchasing same be considered "manipulation" of EXPH shares? Obviously the management of EXPH is interested in the dumping of as many shares as possible to fund whatever it is they are doing, but prevention of that dumping to naive clienetele by a broker can not possibly be considered "manipulation" could it? It would seem to me that would fall under the heading of "CTA". Someday, when it becomes commonplace knowledge that EXPH is not at all what they profess to be, there may come a myriad of lawsuits in search of a deep pocket. If it could ever be proven in a court of law that the MMs/brokers handling EXPH's shares knew or even suspected there was something amiss, it certainly would pose a liability no? I would hardly consider that "manipulation". TIA.
