Expo Holdings Inc. (EXPH)

[fourkids_9pets]

let's take this one at a time ~ then i'm working on the trades
and then i get to interact with my kids :)

Alright, then put the float aside for the moment.

Why not update the O/S share count ?

not following here .. the OS is known .. one can call expo's
ungagged TA for said info .. i rounded it up to the AS (2B) but
the last 100M *issued* happened in july (20th was 1.873.987.656
and on the 21st the OS was 1.973.987.656) which has been the same
for over 2+ months now - it's my *contention* that the last
100M shares issued will show on a form D b4 the new ceo is known
i *strongly* suspect that they went to one of the 2 gentlemen
from so. candle .. meaning one now holds 130M exph shares (100M
open market and 30M restricted via PP @ .001) and the other is one
of the two the largest sor w/EXPH with 130M restricted (same) and 100M open market


I'm assuming most potential investors in this company would visit Pinksheets from the get-go as part of their research since Pinksheets is the only public trading platform for EXPH stock.

that is the last place i do MY DD from .. i find pinksheets
to be *suspect* on a few levels .. but it now appears to have
been sanctioned as the 2nd coming .. so i'll heed that *opinion*
since god knows i don't want to run *afoul* of .. er ..
a protected consensus


Also Pinksheets is the entity this company chose to report to.

realize that when *current* .. pinksheets will remove whatever
it is they put up :) .. i'd expect that b4 eoy .. if not sooner
but again PS doesn't *concern* me re: EXPH

I have heard that it could possibly cost a little more for the TA to give out float information, but is the cost really that much more?

they do .. (TA) as i posted to you earlier .. the co.s contract
with their TA is *renewed* eoy .. i've made some suggestions to
mgmt in this regard (sort of like i and others did re: the
shareholders' update section on their website) imo mgmt is very
reasonable re: suggestions that *make sense* and are cost efficient/effective

first discover the cost difference of knowing the float and
restricted info .. then i'd suggest having this chat with jd
or glenn .. or wait till the new ceo is known and chat with him

i've already done so with current mgmt ..

I want as many new investors in the stock one can legitimately round up. Where am I going wrong with that mentality?

ah .. well therein lies the difference .. i don't want anyone
buying one share who not only hasn't done their DD but doesn't
understand realistic time frames and how the overall *crappy*
economy would impact *every day* business for a legit co. in
transition .. to say nothing of the process .. let alone the
toxic cesspool played out daily on *EXPH trades* in the OTC


HOWEVER ~
i believe 4 aspects will help exph's *pps* for the *short* term ~to me by eoy or very early into 2011

1) .. ETC into a retailer that folks can use the *google* on
2) .. current by 11/15 with 3 q's of fy 2010 fins
3) .. all forms (applicable) filed with sec
4) .. name of the new ceo (his/her biz bio and background)
along with comp pkg and any applicable forms noted

THAT SAID ~
let me be very clear *here* .. all that will do is
*run* EXPH'S pps and start the *requisite* process *down* all
over again but hey .. i've cracked the code .. and have now
passed it on to others including a select few who use Etrade and can *intercept* .. :0

it's one of the reasons why i'm all for new mgmt taking the co.
private .. i see little to no reason for this co. to be public
(not in today's *regulatory* environment .. or should i say lack of)
and the co.s ability to access credit easier as a private entity .. but mostly
because i do trust in MY DD
and since i don't trade ~ by default i don't flip .. so it's not an *issue* for moi
to let growth *ramp up* and have ETC *establish* themselves with *retail*
over the next couple years

just an FYI .. it's my sincere opinion that most of their larger
sor .. feel this way as well .. which is why i can see this coming about in 2011
post carrots (lowes and cash div like etc spin off) and audited fins fy 2010
(due out end of march 2011)


again not something *i control* .. i long ago learned to concern myself with what it is
that i actually control .. that is whether i buy .. sell .. or hold my EXPH shares ..

holding and have a bid sitting at .0005 :)
