being a legit co. in no way assures said co.s survivability

er, that's not even business 101. =D
However, expo doesn't even bother with the pretense of "legit", which is the one and only reason the stock is now worthless.

Of course it's much easier to accept this fact while looking in from the outside and evaluating whether or not this company would make a worthwhile investment. You can be certain that there hasn't been a "new" investor buying even one share in this company in a loooooong time. Just a few short term traders and long term stuckholder trying to recoup losses.

No legitimacy here whatsoever, in any aspect.

doesn't it strike others how odd after all those shares
pumped thru at .0001 .. that exph isn't no bid .. and many of us
haven't had our bids filled .. and the only ones who have are
those with ETRADE accounts?

You keep accusing ETrade of being guilty of some manipulation when what you are seeing is normal and perfectly legal.

ETrade is a broker... they have floor traders at the conventional exchanges and subscriptions to the electronic exchanges. They also operate as a small internal exchange themselves matching buys and sells amongst their clients first (a.k.a. a cross trade), and forwarding the orders to the exchanges second, in order to reduce their costs.

When this huge seller dumps (investor, PIPE, or the company themselves) it is done through ETMM (formerly done though NITE).

If you use ETMM you have first crack at these shares... period.

This is 100% legal, there is no impropriety, and it is not a conspiracy. Suggesting otherwise is totally inaccurate and suggestive of a need for further research on this topic..

*legit co's* don't have CEO's who are habitual liars. *legit co's* do maintain their status with the SEC.

You have been given a year or more to come clean with something *legit* here and all that has taken place is daily obfuscation about some fictitious manipulation taking place.

who is the CEO running this charade and where can you buy some *legit* product?

as i've posted .. being a legit co. in no way assures said co.s survivability

If they were profitable it sure would guarantee it. Too bad Expo is neither. Well except for JD and GH, they milk all sorts of profit.

first one has to recognize that illegally manipulating stock on the poorly watched OTC is imo the rule not the exception

Agreed. And it would appear overwhelmingly obvious some do NOT. I won't point out that the OTC and pinks need to be either strictly limited to those companies with legitimate ideas and a history of successful execution of same or to be eliminated all together. But what keeps these scams like EXPH going? What fuels the endless theft of investment monies that does not build industry but simply serves to enrich a few sleazebags? A: THE PEOPLE INVESTING IN THEM. The way to stop EXPH is to STOP giving them money in exchange for near worthless equities. Take away that source of money, they immediately do one of two things. They go under OR as you point out, they PROVE whether or not they are a legitimate business. No legitimate business on earth fails because they can't raise capital selling multiple hundred million share blocks of stock bi-monthly on the pink sheets. They often fail because they can, but never because they can't. Unlike EXPH, a legitimate business with a legitimate source of ideas to earn profits has many sources of capital to draw on without exposing themselves as a bloody chunk of meat in the middle of a ravenous shark tank. Anyone who understands what the OTC actually is, what happens to 99.9% of the companies listed on it and what the inevitable results of a buy and hold strategy of those companies is would NEVER, repeat NEVER DCA into Expo Holdings, Inc stock. NEVER. Because doing so at this point does nothing but accelerate the process started by death spiral financing in the first place. The only people who make money in companies like Expo are those who understand it is a scam and exploit it as such (PIPE funders, day traders, MMs, etc) and those running the scam. The former are attracted to the latter like the aforementioned blood in the water draws sharks....NOT the reverse. And the fuel that keeps the whole thing going are buy and hold shareholders. Once THEY are gone, everything collapses. It is just THAT simple.

EXPH is NOT a "legitimate" company by strict definition. It may well have been at one time and has every appearance in the world of being such now, but they are in business ONLY because they have access to free money through equity sales. If they were legit, they would have moved from their current form of finance into a legitimate one a LONG time ago. EXPH is a dying company that will soon collapse taking it's B&H shareholders with it, IMHO, under the weight of those shares it has sold them in such a cavalier manner. THAT is what must be understood. THAT is the ONLY story that must be told about Expo Holdings, Inc. All IMHO.
