Your right history is in the past and all you do with it is not to make the same mistakes in the future. I have worked with the large auto companies I know it takes time to get things going. Thanks for the report. Looks like you are like me you ask the workers to confirm the true story.

From all reports, future sales look very good and very promising. It takes businesses awhile to get going. It takes time. All these people complaining about the past, probably have never started and grew a business into a company with contracts with Fortune 500 companies like Lowes

From what reports? The report issued by Expo was for the most part scary horrendous for sales. So bad they have decided to go dark and no longer give any guidance whatsoever for 2010 or 2011. I've started five businesses all of which are still operating at a profit albeit under new owners as I sold four of them. How long does it take a business building cabinets like Expo to "get going"? 15 years? 50? D&D Displays is over ten years in operation. Expo Holdings, Inc will be five years in operation next May. This isn't a start-up tech corporation with an idea in the pipeline that takes years of R&D to perfect. They nail wood together into boxes and sell them. To relate this nightmare to Lowes is comparable to the prediction of $20M in revenues for 2010. And if anything has been learned from the past 12 months...ANYTHING at all, it is the absolute and overwhelming IMPORTANCE of the history and past of a company and in particular it's personnel. There is no other better indicator of future performance and actions in any given situation than to take guidance from past performance and actions. If you don't subscribe to that simple truth with Expo Holdings, Inc. this current situation is going to repeat like a space time continum loop for as long as the shares are held.

Expo Holdings is NOT a buy and hold. It is NOT an investment in the future. EXPH shares are a trading vehicle for those of the mind to pursue said activity despite the knowledge that profits from trading in and out of EXPH are being taken from the pockets of the naive believing the BS the company is feeding them. I can't do that any more than I could publish over and over that Expo Holdings, Inc. is a long term buy and hold stock...a notion that has been proven time and time and time again to be ridiculous. All IMHO.

sterlingkuning,

We've all heard this same story previously with EXPH. The new regime had better learn from JD's mistakes and keep the SOR's current with financial information. Transparency had better be forthcoming or this SOR will be out of this pinky in a heartbeat.

Disappointingly,
