caveats met .. i always give on avg 3 to 5 years .. i'm the newbie in EXPO via EXPH at 3 years in august .. i also only bought shares one time in 9 months after that first buy since i wasn't sure the co. could survive the events of sept 2008
what kept me in the stock were 2 things mgmt going to restricted common <from pref'd> and the introduction of ETC .. since i'd done my DD and had a good idea where ETC was finding its first home ..
<on an aside that is why i want to know the intent of the new ceo in relation to ETC and the co.s future>
==
imo ALL LEGIT CO.S on the OTC <expo included> are manipulated from the very second they *trade* on the pks .. suspect expo's shell was mired in FTD's .. as such it was an even more tempting target
the key is can the co. *survive* the attn given .. back in 2009 i saw the manipulation on the tape
hence my *documentation* and contacting both the sec and finra .. both of which were mocked in RT in this very venue
ironically it may well be documentation that was pooh poohed here .. sent on to the SEC that has impact *in due course*
i recognized the curious trades <my term>
i just wasn't .. er .. *aware* of who/why besides the obvious of $$$$$ involved
clearly the pattern wasn't unique to exph
i said post *turn* in sept 2009 .. that the goal was the cellar .. i had quite the discussion with jerry about this exact pattern in play
==
what matters is basic .. can a legit co. that has been preyed upon .. survive .. imo the worst for EXPO is over .. but if folks don't think a sub penny pps doesn't impact their business they don't know the process
that said .. what cost them 2 and now entering 3 Qs was the router going down in OCT 2010
i've lobbied for mgmt to deliver all info in one fell swoop
i have zero interest in creating *opportunities* for those who DO .. to get a chance to DO .. again as i'm actually interested in the co. LT ..
it's clear to me that the bottom is in .. i fully expect mgmt to deliver on both fins/forms/bod and new ceo
