I have to agree with Gambler, that someone is playing with the pps on EXPH and I also believe that the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)is rampant on venues such as this as well.
Excerpt from Gambler's post today, “So believing the conspiracy theories or not, someone is playing the pps when someone is willing to pay more and they get those shares cheaper and someone can post on this board before hand the ups and downs within minutes of it happening."
Why do I believe this to be true? I was the person willing to pay more for a share than it was sold to me. I never asked for a discount but received one!!!
Let’s say, in a room, there was a dejected shareholder, who was trying to get out of EXPH to cut their losses and a happy shareholder who wanted more shares because he can see the fruitful side of owning EXPH shares, because of long–term potential and the upcoming spin-off dividend of EXPH. The happy shareholder is looking for 500,000 more shares and willing to pay, for example, current market ask price .0052 or one tick above .0053. The dejected shareholder says, “No way, I don’t need your charity!” The two sit together and watch the L2 for an hour. Other people are selling at .0052 but not this seller. The price drops to .0049 or .0050 and the dejected shareholder says, “Ok, now I will sell you the shares! At .0049!” A needless loss of $200, but the transaction is complete.
Market makers, IMO, should make the market, not just make it go down. They have the BID side which goes from the BEST ‘bid’ offered and works its way down in order, and the ASK side which goes from the BEST ‘ask’ and works its way down in order. If the Bid/Ask is .005/.0052 and someone places a bid of .0053, that ‘seller’ at .0052 should have their order filled at .0053 or at least at .0052!!! Now, perhaps the ‘seller’ get frustrated and lowers their ask again and then gets filled at .0049. Is this manipulation? Is someone playing with the pps? Is this supply and demand? I put the “seller’ in quotes as I wonder if their always is a real seller at this level….
Shares. Quoted from Gambler’s post #53848 “18...Now the final touch that IMO makes EXPH a buy and a HOLD for me.... In doing my conservative list of known shareholders and their holdings and since being corrected by several and pm'd by others I did not know, I now show shares outstanding of about 1,104,000,000 and that is not including those on this board that own shares that I do not know or talk too." There is only 1 billion A/S, so we are 104 million over?
Can you believe Gambler? I do and I feel he is conservative, as well knowing that I have bought more shares since that post was written. I haven’t sold any and I imagine all those others on his list have not sold any!!!
If you don’t believe Gambler then perhaps, “Posted by: fivestar Date: Monday, November 30, 2009 2:10:20 PM In reply to: TAKI who wrote msg# 51915 Post # of 51937 [Send a link via email] [Share on Facebook] [Tweet this post]
TAKI, this is not meant to be sarcastic, it's rather real..
I took a few moments and added all your posted BUYS over the past several months and according to my calculations, you now officially own over 100% of EXPH's entire A/S..
congrats!”
FUD? Manipulation? Gambler is conservative at 1,104,000,000 shares being “OUT THERE” or we have one shareholder who owns over 100% of EXPH’s entire A/S and then add your totals, mine and everyone else’s? This stock is manipulated up the Wazoooooo!!! In both pps and shares being traded IMO.
The stock is manipulated but I strongly believe that the company has a solid foundation, at what I am looking at. I am VERY HAPPY with ETC being spun out of EXPO through a dividend!!!! I’m so happy I’m ELASTIC!!! “JDB should repeal the ECT private dividend and either leave ETC as an integral , public component of Expo Holdings , or make ETC a separate entity but still an intregral component of the public company , Expo Holdings , with the dividend being a public share offering . The market doesn't like it the way it stands now.” Sorry, the market doesn’t like it? Or some ‘entities’ do not like it? “Someone” Needs Shares (see above) and anything under the sun will be done to get them!!! “They” will stop at nothing to get these shares, if it means tanking the pps or throwing more FUD into people’s minds…”They” are on a mission!!! Their last resort before Divy Ex-Date is to RAISE THE PRICE PER SHARE, IMO!!! What will it take to get a portion of my shares? Ten, 20, 25, 40 cents? Only I know!!!
What is going to happen to our pps as we move closer to D-Day? Who knows I, for one, am more excited about this than hanging up the mistel toe!!! Until then, mark my words, the FUD and the pps manipulation will continue and IMO be more prevalent as the countdown to Divy Ex-Date continues.
Love EXPH/ETC and my position in both soon!!!
