Expo Holdings Inc. (EXPH)

[underdog150]

I can just imagine how much fun I will have tomorrow proving all the other things you have been clear about regarding ETC over the last 2 years. Example # 1 from 7/2/10 of many to follow of the failed speculation regarding anything to do with EXPH.
----------------
OMG .. what an amusing coincidence

first of all i want to repost this for those
who've been asking me my *expectations and
timing* as what to expect and when or any
new eyes .. starting their DD on expo holdings ~

since this was posted ~ MGMT has adjusted the
date of the SM from 9/1/09 to 9/15/10 (which
for some of us is a rather delicious *irony*) ..

anyhow ..

in a nutshell .. as i noted below on 6/22

OS increase/check .. :)
PR out on new ceo/background
q3 released
q4 released (possible q4 is audited)
form 3s filed on new ceo/new vp/jd/glenn and any other co.
insiders ~ i'm still not expecting one done on KM
q1 released
q2 (if fully transparent) q2 is due around 8/15 suspect this
will be one of the last *material* items to be pr'd b4 the SM

classic *mistake* i'll call folks on

first .. there was one *trade* done at the ytd high of .0385
from memory it was either 9,000 or 11,000 *shares*

second .. there is a reason i track every trade ..
due to the fact i was on the phone *commenting* on exph's
rt l2 when the pr was released on 9/15/09 .. i can tell *folks*
exactly what the bid ask was at approx 11AM .. it was .027/.029

third .. i watched for close to a week as the former MM PALC
who had done less than 20M shares in exph for all of 2009
go in LOCK STEP with exph's primary MM for that *interesting*
RUN ..

fourth .. the *run* in sept was the second one done in 2009
but both imo had absolutely *nothing* to do with mgmt

fifth .. one has to believe in their respective DD .. i'll go
by mgmt's *publicly* stated info re: their shares not being sold

sixth .. i personally *prefer* mgmt to hold common shares and
*share* the same fate as their shareholders (a handful of which
hold the *bulk* of exph shares .. gambler was kind enough to
give *estimates* this AM .. which i completely agree with)

seventh .. those estimates don't include approx 20 others
i interact with .. almost all of whom hold *bare* minimum
of 10M EXPH shares

eighth .. i fully *understand* the intent of the ETC spinoff
and why it didn't come to pass

ninth .. if i had to vote (since i do understand that real
legit co.s like expo holdings come public to *expand* in
spite of the macro environment) my vote to mgmt was for
the AS to be raised rather than doing a r/s .. :)))

tenth .. and the most important aspect for my DD .. imo MGMT
has *learned* from prior mistakes

i've never expected seamless from a co. in transition from
private to public

i look forward to what i'm expecting ..

first imo the OS will be raised by another 100M to 125M+
for the ceo's comp pkg

shortly afterward i expect the PR out on the CEO
name/background

i'd then expect fins (q3 .. q4 .. possibly audited)

form 3's to be filed for new ceo .. jd and glenn ..
unless something has changed i'm not expecting anything on KM

again i use the KISS principle and use the AS in all my *calcs*

lastly imo i'm cautiously optimistic since MGMT gave a date
for the SM of 9/1/10 that there will be an *announcement*
that imo will be a done deal .. as in ink dried months prior
and product already shipped and in place

i have no issues .. patiently biding my time .. waiting on
what *I* expect to happen based on my DD

oh yeah .. i suspect the new ceo will have been on the job
for 4 to 6 weeks b4 .. the SM takes place .. and q1 will most
likely have been put out by then as well

have a good one

--------------
ETC is the reason expo *survived* 2009
ETC in one account at full penetration <2-3 yrs> was 100M (jd cc 7/09)
ETC is the reason <2nd> attn was *generated* on the expo board
ETC was going into WW franchises .. sadly events of 2/10 put that ???
ETC was going to be spun off until a share discrepancy put paid to that
ETC was never going to be doing 10M to 20M in revs on expo's LOC
ETC as a private entity could access capital far easier than a public one

there are no crystal balls but at a guess ETC is at the center of
what *transpired* over the past 12 months <contractually> date wise

i've run thru pretty much every scenario .. some are more acceptable
to me than others .. but until presented with specific facts re: intent
it's just speculation :)
