Exactly- Please show me the so called "pump" in EXPH. 3 PR's this year and 5 since last September. I guess posting "real" DD such as pictures from visits to the plant is "pumping". I guess countering the lies about EXPH with actual links is "pumping". Fact is "pumping", fiction is what?

Give me an example of an "unsubstantiated rumor" about Expo Holdings or any "bad news" about them being spread that has no basis for being probable based on the company's history and the past actions of their management. There is no meaningful naked short volume associated with EXPH stock, you know that, I know that, anyone with common sense knows that. IMHO.

great post

the irony js is that the stock
was run 2 X in 2009 .. it was done
by wash trading the *volume* <note
the significant *rise* from april 2009
to may 2009 and then the *consistency*>

this board was shown via *demonstrations*
just how easily those *posts* with multi
trading accts .. could achieve this feat ..
it was *enlightening* to observe in real time
<late 2009 and early in 2010>

the *turn* came about at approx 11 am on 9/15/2009

posts that had gushed and fawned ad nauseam for months
would *shift* .. and those who were PRO EXPO/EXPH b4
the 15th of SEPT 2009 .. would become the co.s biggest
critics

it's been eye opening .. but what is even more eye opening
is the realization that the MO isn't UNIQUE to EXPO HOLDINGS

what is UNIQUE

is that EXPH/EXPO SURVIVED THE .. er .. ATTN

===

it's very clear why the SHORTS IN EXPH have ANGST

it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

and lots of it .. to even cover 30 percent of the
100s of MILLIONS of shares that haven't been covered
is volume that equates to 600M shares X 2 <buy/sell>
or a 1.2 BILLION DAY in vol .. <or 2 back to back days>

and to put that in perspective dollar wise and why angst
is relayed via posts *daily* .. it's 1 M bucks if that %
of shares shorted are covered at .0009 .. at .0016 it's 2M

it's 4M at .0033

it's 10M at .0083

it's 20M at .016

it's 30M at .025

it's 50M at .041

that is 30 percent covered of what has been shorted
since nov 2010

this is why i've tracked every trade .. the info actually
exists in this very venue .. <ironically>

it's just one of the reasons why i don't have one GTC set
below .01

the other is the FLOAT .. which imo is approx 1 BILLION

to put that in perspective and why i pieced together *bits*
was the FLOAT in 2009 *estimated* by mgmt on the CC was 100M

those were the days of the 40M *avg* vol

today the avg vol runs 4M

think about it ~

js: Here is the SEC's own comments on the NSS pk conspiracy nonsense:

The excerpt below is from:

SEC Report No. 450
March 18, 2009
Practices Related to Naked Short Selling Complaints and Referrals

-----
***
In recent months, a small but vocal cadre of advocates has emerged decrying the practice and suggesting that it has damaging market effects.... Others view the threat posed by “naked” short selling as wildly exaggerated, and point to instances in which allegations of abusive “naked” short selling were used to cover up other management malfeasance, like the dumping on the market of large blocks of unregistered shares. We have recently alleged such behavior in the widely-discussed CMKM Diamonds litigation. Other fraud defendants have also attempted to portray depressed stock prices as the work of clandestine short sellers.Despite its assertions regarding the potential danger of “naked” short selling and the growing interest in the subject, the Report can cite to no bona fide studies or empirical data regarding the practice’s market impact. The Division of Trading and Markets debunks the theory that NSS creates “counterfeit” or “phantom” shares.

. . .The Division of Enforcement is called upon to police the massive U.S. securities markets with decidedly limited resources and, in order to fulfill our mission of investor protection, we must intelligently leverage those resources.

In the above excerpt, "we must intelligently leverage those resources" refers to the recommendation not to waste precious time re: the NSS complaints especially regarding non-reporting PK stocks.

Note: All above from the SEC report, but I added the highlighting to certain passages
