Expo Holdings Inc. (EXPH)

[Santa Barbara Broker]

first one has to recognize that illegally manipulating stock on the poorly watched OTC is imo the rule not the exception

Agreed. And it would appear overwhelmingly obvious some do NOT. I won't point out that the OTC and pinks need to be either strictly limited to those companies with legitimate ideas and a history of successful execution of same or to be eliminated all together. But what keeps these scams like EXPH going? What fuels the endless theft of investment monies that does not build industry but simply serves to enrich a few sleazebags? A: THE PEOPLE INVESTING IN THEM. The way to stop EXPH is to STOP giving them money in exchange for near worthless equities. Take away that source of money, they immediately do one of two things. They go under OR as you point out, they PROVE whether or not they are a legitimate business. No legitimate business on earth fails because they can't raise capital selling multiple hundred million share blocks of stock bi-monthly on the pink sheets. They often fail because they can, but never because they can't. Unlike EXPH, a legitimate business with a legitimate source of ideas to earn profits has many sources of capital to draw on without exposing themselves as a bloody chunk of meat in the middle of a ravenous shark tank. Anyone who understands what the OTC actually is, what happens to 99.9% of the companies listed on it and what the inevitable results of a buy and hold strategy of those companies is would NEVER, repeat NEVER DCA into Expo Holdings, Inc stock. NEVER. Because doing so at this point does nothing but accelerate the process started by death spiral financing in the first place. The only people who make money in companies like Expo are those who understand it is a scam and exploit it as such (PIPE funders, day traders, MMs, etc) and those running the scam. The former are attracted to the latter like the aforementioned blood in the water draws sharks....NOT the reverse. And the fuel that keeps the whole thing going are buy and hold shareholders. Once THEY are gone, everything collapses. It is just THAT simple.

EXPH is NOT a "legitimate" company by strict definition. It may well have been at one time and has every appearance in the world of being such now, but they are in business ONLY because they have access to free money through equity sales. If they were legit, they would have moved from their current form of finance into a legitimate one a LONG time ago. EXPH is a dying company that will soon collapse taking it's B&H shareholders with it, IMHO, under the weight of those shares it has sold them in such a cavalier manner. THAT is what must be understood. THAT is the ONLY story that must be told about Expo Holdings, Inc. All IMHO.
