i'll use exph (a stock of a co. i've been
invested in since late summer 2008 as an example)

like many co.s' expo came public via a r/m into a shell
(i've since learned that most shells are littered
with ftds .. most ceo's know their business like
the back of their hand .. but are not experts in
securities .. the callous response is they should be
the reality is that expertise costs big bucks that
few can afford on the micro cap level)

anyhow .. exph started trading on the pks/otc in june 2007
and for 2 years and 1 month FTDs showed .. link to input info

http://failstodeliver.com/datadump.aspx

exph into box .. click on dump fails data

scroll to the bottom and notice that the last time ftd info was
reported was on july 30th 2009

why does this matter ..

a few reasons .. first like many legit co.s whose stock has been
used by X entity/s as an ATM .. exph's stock was both run twice
in 2009 (summer and sept) and *shorted* daily on 4 to 8 ticks down
avg volume 40M per day .. avg *short* done 10M per day .. most folks
were very happy .. i was perplexed based on the *volume blowing out*
and the *regularity* of the *shorts/sell* and *posts* made re: ownership

moving forward .. the *turn* came at 11 am on 9/15/2009 .. meaning
those who'd *created* the runs .. and benefited from the *short*
had a new goal .. to cellar box the stock .. they did this over the
next 15 months .. all the while FTDS were MIA (missing in action)
meaning they weren't showing via the feds .. which made no sense
since in those 15 months exph did record setting volume (8 BILLION)

that started a long chain of telephone tag calls with both finra
and the SEC

approx one month back .. i finally had a return call from an sec
employee .. who imo was as honest with me as possible

she flat out explained why the OTC had been originally set up
(think under the radar manipulation) .. it was a wide ranging
conversation .. including such diverse topics as sec employees
having access to rt level 2 (they don't so when talking to *retail*
they can't even pull up the screen to observe re: a specific stock)

but the most important aspect of that call for me was the answer
re: exph's MIA FTDS .. turns out .. as an unregistered OTC co.
(electively reporting) the SROs' don't have to *report* FTDS on exph

so when you read the 1000s of posts that because they don't show
they (ftds) don't exist .. you now know otherwise


btw .. in july 2009 the last 2 days *reported* set of ftds' on exph ..
