as i've posted a few 100 x previously .. each person has different tolerances .. risk .. time lines business experience and so on
what is clear is from my very first posts in exph i've indicated that the US market is imo akin to a casino with the poorly watched OTC <where expo/exph resides> being the *worst* of the rigged lot
some call it speculation .. some call it investing some call it manipulation ..
i'm old school .. to me it's an investment .. it carries risk .. clearly i have a high risk tolerance and of course there are no guarantees that legitimacy ensures survivability
that said .. when i entered expo via exph .. i understood exactly what an electively reporting co. actually meant
i could *ascertain* from the fins .. what the cost of the shell was and to whom the funds were paid .. and i also understand the concept of SS <treasury> shares issued shares returned .. shares retired .. common vs pref'd and the like .. i also know that the funds from trades done daily on exph .. aren't deposited in expo's coffers
== i don't discount the good the bad or the ugly <including the events since sept 2008 .. one month after i took my first stake in expo via exph> to the events of spring 2009
but what has never changed is my belief in mgmt's integrity as in current mgmt has stated they haven't sold one share this is why i can state unequivocally that there is no gray *here*
if mgmt has played fast and loose .. they will go to jail in due course .. if however .. the *fast and loose* is *identified* elsewhere <calling cards> where exph's stock manipulation is concerned .. i'd expect an entirely different outcome *basser*
it's always amusing why my *investment* in expo via exph creates .. er .. such interest
i wasn't the one posting fawning gushing posts in 2009 i wasn't the one who collected 500k <or more> for those efforts in 2009 .. i wasn't the one who *turned* because exph shares were needed for the trip to the cellar .. <cover> i wasn't the one who solicited *momo* in end of may 2010 then posted flat out false info re: reg D attributed to an sec atty .. creating the then record setting volume in exph in 2010 <june 2nd> .. i could go on but *MY* point is made
the abusive shorts and their manipulative ways ... may still win where expo is concerned .. but i have an *excellent* idea of who holds what .. re: exph shares .. and approx 2.2 BILLION imo IS NEVER GONNA *show* .. that tells me .. exph's FLOAT is 1 BILLION
and clearly that .. er .. 1 BILLION <more likely 2 BILLION due to BS done since the fall of 2009> is held rather *tightly* ... based on the total lack of *volume* .. real or fake .. done on exph .. monthly
