i understand you *disagree* with all aspects of mgmt's *handling* of issues which is fine .. but based on this post the time frame has been well over 1 year + NOTE THE DATE
so i ask this sincerely .. many chances to sell and move on .. there was the *run* on 9/15/2009 .. there were mini runs done in 2010 ~ the last as recently as september 2010
it's not like mgmt hasn't communicated what they are doing and when and it's been clear since the SM done on 12/2/2009 that what was coming .. was *delayed* and then tragically canceled ..
however since the website came on line in feb 2010 we have had info on AS increases .. ceo hunt and absolutely zip by way of pr's which i find to be a positive .. i don't want fluff out of mgmt
the PR out on 9/16 post SM was about as *REVEALING* as it gets .. i don't need lines drawn or dots connected for me .. it's also been no surprise to me about the PPS
i posted in sept 2009 the *goal* was the cellar none of what has come to pass re: the stock is a surprise
they are an unseasoned mgmt and haven't handled *every* aspect the way i would have ~ but then to be clear i don't expect seamless at this level .. it's a penny stock for a reason .. what i care about is legitimacy and survivability
and since i don't control anything beyond what i personally do which covers MY DD .. documenting data for my files and of course whether to add .. hold .. or sell based on analysis
it's no secret i'm sitting on bid at .0001 (and will double my shares if EXPH is taken no bid) .. please realize without news out of mgmt that may come to pass .. the *cycle* of resets has to keep being done .. next round will come to pass b4 eom
so it will always come down to ones' DD .. which will differ for everyone based on their own personal business experience and knowledge of co.s in transition which i consider expo holdings to be
i'm totally dispassionate about the PPS .. because i'm too familiar with how the *game* is played on the OTC and based on MY DD .. i have every expectation that expo will survive but as always folks need to do their own DD
=========

i know i am .. here's a little clue about MY DD i actually do call the TA .. i've spoken with maria/judy and elson i long ago asked jd why no info given out on float/restricted and got the answer .. 7k may seem like nothing but to me having an UNGAGGED TA on an electively reporting pk trading on the OTC is the exception not the rule .. so that is why *I* called and asked the question of mgmt .. and have had a sequence of hypothetical conversations with elson over the years they've been expo's TA
how amusing .. FACT ... the money that was paid out for this er .. dubious awareness .. *ceased* when other info was presented to mgmt .. the amt paid for *2* charts done per month was 500.00/mo. and it ended WELL OVER 14 months ago (NOV 2009) .. again basic DD elicits this info .. that is a simple call and a simple ? asked of course to get a return call .. data has to be *left* with kathy
again it comes down to one's belief .. if the contention is that mgmt has sold shares (even tho' they have publicly stated that they haven't) not sure why anything that is posted would even matter and again if i had no belief in mgmt .. i'd SELL my EXPH shares
i'm bid sitting myself and apparently i'm not the only one :0
i know this is a minor detail .. but the sponsorship was worked b4 the passing of the ceo of WW .. which *impacted* everything (etc) imo for most of 2010 .. WW was the key re: cash flow for ETC it was a tragedy on both a personal and a professional level and may have taken the co. to as close to shutting their doors in 2010 as the overall market implosion in fall of 2008 did .. *imo*
i can only speak for myself .. i've never had mgmt lie to me but if i did .. i'd sell .. i've also never asked ?s of mgmt that i know to be material in nature .. again if folks have that belief and are still shareholders it defies my *logic*
i do know that there are always 2 sides to every story but i'm certainly not going to comment on phone calls i'm not a part of .. i try and respect those i interact with who feel that mgmt lied to them .. again not something i've personally experienced .. but if i felt that way i'd SELL and find a stock and mgmt team that better suited
i'm a huge believer in diversification and giving on avg 3 to 5 years .. since i'm way too familiar with what passes for normal on the OTC
== glty .. i hope you find a better investment or trade that suits your needs
btw .. i have stuff on tap after posting data ~ so if you respond to this post please realize that i won't be responding till tomorrow (if then) i have a crazy weekend ahead of me
It's sad that this company chooses to use such an expensive TA. I posted an estimate from another TA that only charges $4K per year with no reported *extra* costs. Just wasting money.
Of course all those daily *inquiries* by *some* (sometimes twice a day!) are probably adding up also.
