Wow, your alias was literally 'born yesterday.' What brings you here, if it's not this board's current #3 position on the Breakout Boards list?
"Expert" had an official, albeit somewhat vague, definition that was more rigorous than 'not a newbie fool'. But it definitely meant someone who ought to know better, and know a pig-in-a-poke stock by looking at it.
WCVC after Nixon Restaurant Group merged with it never became a hollowed-out shell. Its auditor did, twice, flag its financial health as an 'ongoing concern.' But the company never died, despite the stock itself being almost completely reamed out without mercy (to a 7B O/S on a 10B A/S).
