My take on the hotline update is that they probably received a lot of calls in anticipation of the upcoming news. Think they will come out with more info this week. Fingers crossed.
1. Susan said: "... coming out later this week with more information on programming and advertising."
People probably assumed that meant they were going to issue a PR, announcing programming and advertisers. This could be merely a hotline update, or website update, and it could be just about "we're making fabulous progress, and will announce more specifics when we are able, bla bla bla..."
2. Susan said: "... A new carriage report will be available in early August."
People probably assumed that meant they were going to issue a PR, announcing a carrier. A PR is "released," not made "available". This, too may be a website update, stating more about their "progress".
A good speaker chooses particular words for a reason. And this message was noticeably missing the term, "press release", and the strong verbs, "announce" or "release".
So, I'm expecting to hear more about their progress regarding programming and advertising this week. That's good. And I'm expecting to hear more about their progress regarding carriers in early August. That will be nice, too. Any more than that will be a pleasant surprise. But this still may take longer than we want it to.
Patience. You all know how disappointed we get when we assume more than we should.

Viacom's move when it comes will serve as validation for our direction. If we have even half way decent programing Viacom will end up metioning us in a PR whether it be comparison or whatever.

Remember the 'buy back' is ongoing until October... So if prices are still low, or at times real low, perhaps Q-Tv is buying 5,10,15 million a week at these low prices... it will at up!

I totally agree with that. Only because the awareness will set in and people will want to be part of a stock thats devoted to that trend. So I would expect a rise later on as well..It won't be at one time, it would be sporatic.
I'm also trying to research a company whom had its competitor go up & running against them and 1 of the stocks took off before hand. In other words, Sirus radio was first in line to have their product but when XM came out Sirus stock went through the roof because of the high demand for the product.
Anyone have a real example of that happening? Walmart/Kmart?

I was on SIRI & made a mint but didn't keep a core position. Satilite radio was SIRI's idea but XMSR launched first (a full year before SIRI) & have never looked back. I agree with that example & right now I'm on GZFX simply because They're trading at .06 & the forerunner Netflix is trading at $20.36.
QBID will benifit from any success of LOGO!

I would appreciate any thoughts on this subject.

It's not about what channel you like better, it's about what show you like better. Someone may watch Logo at 8pm, then switch to Q at 9pm.
Tonight, people can watch a movie on FOX for free, or they can watch a movie on HBO, which they pay for. There's room for everyone.

You guys think there will be a hotline update tomorrow??
Today a Spinning Top formed. Both the bulls and the bears were active during the session. Even though the session opened and closed with little change, prices moved significantly higher and lower in the mean time. Be careful, this indicates weakness among the bears and a potential change or interruption in the current trend!

i]StockGate: DTCC Sued Again, $49M Suit Related To Elgindy; NASD Expels,Censures
Jul 28, 2004 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) The Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. has been sued again, this time along with Anthony Elgindy, Schwab Capital Markets (NYSE: SCH), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), and Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC), for a total of $49 million.
In other StockGate activities, the NASD has expelled Ryan & Company, LP (RYCO) of West Conshohoken, PA, for failure to cooperate in an ongoing investigation into whether Ryan and the firm engaged in a widespread scheme of impermissible short selling activity on behalf of three hedge fund clients, and Track Data Securities of Brooklyn has been censured and fined $15,000 for accepting customer short sale orders in certain securities and, for each order, "failing to
make/annotate an affirmative determination that the firm would receive delivery of the security on behalf of the customer or that the firm could borrow the security on behalf of the customer for delivery by settlement date."
The lawsuit, #04-CV-80403, Capece v. Elgindy, et al, was filed in the Southern District of Florida in West Palm Beach. The plaintiff is Louis R. Capece Jr., represented by Robert Charles Stone. It has been assigned to Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp and is expected to be heard by a jury.
In addition to those named, defendants include THE ELGINDY SITES, ROBERT HANSEN ELGINDY, BRADLEY ABELOW, MICHAEL C. BODSON, JONATHAN E. BEYMAN, FRANK J. BISIGNANO, STEPHENS P. CASPER, JILL M.

Charles Schwab & Co. recently said it is exiting the market-making business. It is one of several market makers that have been the subject of accusations and/or legal entanglements over naked shorting allegations and issues.
The company had said it is either the number one or number two market-maker in more than half of all of NASDAQ's (OTCBB: NDAQ) listed stocks.
Recently observers were surprised to find a comment letter submitted to the SEC by Mike Alexander, Senior VP of Charles Schwab, that admits outright that brokerages regularly ignore rules and regulations, saying it is not rules that need to be written; it is changes in behavior that is needed.
The comments were directed towards proposed changes in the U.S. settlement system, but could easily apply to other regulations as well.
"Improvements in the U.S. settlement system will only be truly achieved if and when regulations are rationalized to ensure that all market participants are held accountable for compliance. For example, the industry has struggled with the issue of institutional trade affirmation for quite some time now. While the benefits to the clearance and settlement system are self-evident, Buy-Side firms and Custodian banks have been resistant to make those changes that provide for same-day trade confirmation / affirmation and assurance of trade settlement," said Alexander.
"Schwab opposes the notion that securities intermediaries such as broker-dealers be required to police compliance," he stated. "The NYSE and other SROs have had trade affirmation rules on their books for some time. However, such rules have not been effective in changing the behavior
of Buy-Side firms or their custodians; nor do the rules provide assurance that the affirmed trade will settle.
"Recognition of this fact is evidence that changes to the settlement cycle not only require overhauling systems, but also changing behavior. We believe that only by holding all market
participants directly accountable for making required affirmations will the necessary changes to behavior," he stated at www.sec.gov/rules/concept/s71304/charlesschwab061604.pdf .
In a June 23 release, the SEC stated it has put into place Rule 202(T), which establishes procedures to allow the Commission to temporarily suspend the operation of the current "tick" test in Rule 10a-1, and any short sale price test of any exchange or national securities association, for specified securities.
Through a separate order, the Commission will suspend, on a pilot basis for a period of one-year, the tick test provision of paragraph (a) of Rule 10a-1, and any short sale price test of any exchange or national securities association, for approximately one-third of stocks in the Russell 3000 index.
The order also will suspend, on a pilot basis for a period of one year, the tick test provision of paragraph (a) of Rule 10a-1 for short sales executed in any security included in the Russell 1000 index after 4:15 p.m. Eastern, and all other securities after the close of the consolidated tape, and until the open of the consolidated tape the next day.
The pilot will commence on January 3, 2005 to permit broker-dealers and self-regulatory organizations to make the necessary programming adjustments.
The Commission deferred consideration of the proposal to replace the current "tick" test of Rule 10a-1 with a new uniform bid test. The Commission could reconsider any further action on these proposals after the completion of the pilot.
Rule 203, which will incorporate current Rule 10a-2 and will create a uniform Commission rule requiring broker-dealers, prior to effecting short sales in all equity securities, to "locate" securities available for borrowing.
There will be limited exceptions from the locate requirement, including for short sales by registered market makers in connection with bona-fide market making.
Rule 203 also imposes additional requirements on designated "threshold securities." Rule 203 defines a threshold security to mean an equity security for which there is an aggregate fail to deliver position for five consecutive settlement days at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more and that is equal to at least 0.5% of the issue's total shares outstanding.
Where a clearing agency participant has a fail to deliver position in threshold securities that persists for ten consecutive days after settlement, the participant must take action to close out the position. Until the position is closed out, the participant, and any broker-dealer for which it clears transactions, may not effect further short sales in the particular threshold security without borrowing or entering into a bona fide arrangement to borrow the security.
Rule 203 will become effective 30 days after publication with a compliance date of January 3, 2005, to permit firms to make programming and procedural adjustments.
Rule 200, which among other things, will redesignate current Rule 3b-3 with some modifications to define ownership and aggregation of securities positions, and include a requirement to mark all sell orders in all equity securities. Rule 200 will become effective 30 days after publication.
The Commission also adopted amendments to Rule 105 of Regulation M to remove the current shelf offering exception, and issued interpretive guidance addressing sham transactions designed to evade the rule.
The amendment applies to short sales effected within five days prior to the pricing of a shelf offering. Such short sales may not be covered with offering securities purchased from an underwriter or other broker-dealer participating in the offering.
The Rule 105 amendments will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, and the interpretive guidance will be effective upon such publication.
Opponents of naked short selling were, however, quick to denounce the provision that allows market makers an exemption, and many market observers said that the SEC should provide a public list of companies that fall into the "threshold security" category.
"The SEC claims that the number of companies involved in this 'threshold security' category is 4% of all publicly traded companies. If in fact it is that small the process is certainly manageable," said the website InvestigatetheSEC.com at www.investigatethesec.com . "It is also the right of every issuer, in protecting their business and their investors to know the status of their stock trading."
Some were discussing whether the SEC can keep such information private under the Freedom of Information Act.
The marketplace is already upset over promises by the Berlin Stock Exchange, since broken, that it would delist any company upon request.
"Please understand that cessation of trading in the shares of XRAYMEDIA Inc. (OTCBB: XRYM) is not possible," the exchange told one such requester.
It's not just U.S. companies such as Whistler Investments (OTCBB: WHIS), Sonoran Energy (OTCBB: SNRN), Celsion Corporation (AMEX: CLN), and eLinear Inc. (AMEX: ELU) or Israeli companies that have had serious concerns about their unannounced and unathrorized listings on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange.
Apparently, some 150 British companies are protesting the same fate.
A number of UK-listed companies have demanded a London Stock Exchange investigation after they found that their shares are being traded.
Meanwhile, Whistler, Sonoran and eLinear have announced they have successfully secured their delistings, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rescheduled its open hearing to consider the adoption of amendments to Regulation Sho to July 28 at 9:30 a.m. The announcement is at www.sec.gov/news/digest/dig061504.txt .
According to the London Money Telegraph, "several companies believe the market for their shares has been distorted and that they have fallen in value after trading started on the Berlin-Bremen exchange.
"Some smaller companies, whose shares are lightly traded in London, fear the Berlin market has been used by speculators to short-sell their shares."
The Telegraph said the number of companies are thought to be as high as 150, including even "larger companies" such as Matalan (OTC: MATNF) and Halfords.
Mladen Ninkov, the chairman of Aim-listed Griffin Mining (OTC: GFNMF), was quoted as saying: "We were put on the Berlin market without our knowledge by a German broker and now we've got about 8m shares out in a short sale. It is horrifying - that is about 4 per cent of the company and it is forcing the price down."
A spokesman for the London Stock Exchange said: "If there is evidence of market abuse we would refer that on to the appropriate authorities."
Whistler said that according to its transfer agent records, "we have 5,504,680 shares held by DTC, but the ADP broker search indicates of 6,217,458 shares being reported by broker/dealers as being held on behalf of their customers, indicating a short position of more than 700,000 shares. A summary report can be viewed at www.whistlerinvestments.com/shorts.html .
"We have therefore commenced work with DTC for a formal review of the reported excessive broker/dealer holdings of our stock so that we can conduct our corporate affairs properly in view of our planned stockholders meeting and other upcoming corporate matters. We again advise our stockholders make sure that they receive delivery of any shares that they purchase, and also that their stock is not being borrowed without authorization.
Holly Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments, states "We intend to get to the bottom of the excessive short position and bring stability back into the trading of our stock. We're happy to say that we have 5,133 stockholders and we expect all our stockholders to benefit from the shorters having to cover their short positions."
FinancialWire has reported on the disclosure that "Dateline," the investigatory TV program aired by General Electric's (NYSE: GE) NBC unit, has purportedly been preparing a blockbuster expose of "Stockgate" (see separate story at www.financialwire.net).
It is not known if "Dateline" has uncovered continuing underworld connections to the scandal, but FinancialWire reported that Dateline may be pointing a large finger of conflict at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission itself, which reportedly receives a slice of every transaction fee as part of its budget. According to court filings supported by the O'Quinn/Christian legal network, almost $1 billion annually is received by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. for its "Stock Borrow Program," which the lawsuits claim is just a fancy name for counterfeiting, as the DTCC purportedly lends out many multiples of the actual certificates in the float. Apparently the SEC receives a transaction fee for each transaction facilitated by these loans of non-existent certificates, which could knock a hole in its budget should the revenues from the practice be halted.
The North American Securities Administrators Association, comprised of state and Canadian regulators, has pointedly told the SEC that either it must rethink its cozy DTCC relationship, or it hints, some of its more aggressive state practitioners (think Eliot Spitzer) may do the rethinking for the SEC.
Naked short selling is worrisome for hundreds of small U.S. companies, including those recently asking to be delisted from the Berlin Stock Exchange, such as Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: GPXM), Nannaco, Inc. (OTCBB: NNCO), 5G Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: FGWC), CyberAds, Inc. (OTCBB :CYAD), Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: PVCT), House of Brussels Chocolates (OTCBB: HBSL), InforMedix, Inc. (OTCBB: IFMX), Tissera, Inc. (OTCBB: TSSR), Americana Publishing, Inc. (OTCBB: APBH), Celsion Corporation (AMEX: CLN), ChampionLyte Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CPLY), Pickups Plus, Inc. (OTCBB:PUPS), China Wireless Communications Inc. (OTC BB: CWLC), CareDecision Corp. (OTCBB: CDED), Titan General Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: TTGH), IPVoice Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: IPVO), Whistler Investments (OTCBB: WHIS), WARP Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: WRPT), BGR Corp. (OTCBB: BGRR), ICOA, Inc., (OTCBB: ICOA), DICUT, INC. (OTCBB: DCUTE), NHC Communications Inc. (TSX: NHC; OTCBB: NHCMF), Stratus Services Group, Inc. (OTCBB: SERV), Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: GPXM).
Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG has been singled out as the broker and market maker that has been "listing" the companies. It is suspected that one broker, RA Angsar Limprecht, is involved in all if not most of the listings.
Small public companies are squeezed not only by hedge funds, naked short sellers, overseas listers such as the Berlin Stock Exchange, and the out-of-control "Stock Borrow Program" run by the governance-conflict-laden Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, but to the amazement of the industry, as often and not by their own regulators.
A new staff recommendation by Annette Nazareth, director of the division of market regulation at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to "outlaw" ownership of paper certificates at the same time the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation is under intense scrutiny for alleged electronic counterfeiting has begun hitting the small public company markets, company executives, shareholders and manipulative short-selling opponents like the proverbial ton of bricks.
A Dow Jones (NYSE: DJ) article by Judith Burns sparked the uproar, as the inextricably intertwined web of connections between the SEC and the DTC, which is sagging from the weight of conflicted governance by representatives from a rollcall of industry heavyweights, including NASD, which owns NASDAQ (OTCBB: NDAQ), the New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH), to name only a few.
The rule proposal would bar stock transfer agents from handling shares that carry any limitations on transfer. Control over stock certificates is one of the ways that small companies have combated illegal naked short sellers. Burns quoted Nazareth as saying that these companies' "self-help" efforts "aren't helping U.S. markets overall." Nazareth was quoted as saying restrictions on stocks are "a significant step backwards" in the "move from paper stock certificates to automated computerized trading."
Nazareth said that abusive "naked" short selling has been a problem "in some cases," but that is "best dealt with by a pending SEC proposal," presumably Regulation SHO.
SEC Commissioner William Donaldson purportedly publicly refused to answer any questions from the NASD about the timing of the Commission's consideration of the Regulation at a conference where he was simultaneously proposing early reforms of the mutual fund scandals. The Dow Jones said, however, that Robert Colby, SEC deputy market regulation division director, predicted the SEC will take that to a vote in early June.
The Dow Jones report noted that "naked short-selling occurs when sellers don't buy shares to replace those they borrowed, a manipulative practice that can drive a company's stock price sharply lower.
The stock certiticate plan has been put to a 30-day comment periodl Then the SEC would have to vote to adopt it. If adopted, Colby was quoted as saying that regulators might "sue firms that seek to impose restrictions on stock transfers."
The recent lawsuit filed by Nanopierce Technologies (OTCBB: NPCT) alleges that the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. has a lot of reasons, almost one billion of them a year, to keep illegal naked short selling in operation. It was the shot across the bow by the legendary Houston law firms of Christian, Smith, Wukoson and Jewell, and OQuinn, Laminack and Pirtle, whose notches already include environmental targets, the breast implant industry and the tobacco industry, all brought to their knees.
In comments to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, C. Austin Burrell, who is providing litigation support and research for the law firms, said that StockGate is more massive than anyone may have imagined. "Illegal Naked Short Selling has stripped hundreds of billions, if not TRILLIONS, of dollars from American investors," and have resulted in over 7,000 public companies having been "shorted out of existence over the past six years." Burrell said some experts believe as much as $1 trillion to $3 trillion has been lost to this practice.
He stated that the restrictions on short selling were deliberately put into the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 because of the first-hand evidence then available that the "sheer scale of the crashes was a direct result of intentional manipulation of US markets through abusive short selling by a massive conspiracy."
Burrell noted that the 65-lawyer team presided over by lead lawyers Wes Christian and John O'Quinn has uncovered more than 1,200 hedge fund and offshore accounts working through more than 150 broker-dealers and market makers in a joint cooperative effort to strip small and medium size public companies of their value.
Recently the NASD and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved an interim naked short-selling band-aid, requiring U.S. brokers to make an "affirmative determination" that short-sellers, even foreign short-sellers, mostly Canadian, can find certificates to cover before processing the order.
Last year, many besieged public companies sought refuge from the manipulation by seeking to exit the DTC, but on July 28, 2003, the SEC stated "the issues surrounding naked short selling are not germane to the manner in which DTC operates as a depository registered as a clearing agency. Decisions to engage in such transactions are made by parties other than DTC. DTC does not allow its participants to establish short positions resulting from their failure to deliver securities at settlement. While the Commission appreciates commenters' concerns about manipulative activity, those concerns must be addressed by other means."
The Nanopierce lawsuit, said to be the first of many out of the box, emphatically suggests otherwise. According to lawyer Christian, et.al., the DTC is at the very heart of the problem, and has almost a billion dollars a year at stake in keeping the problem.
The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, a limited-purpose trust company under New York State banking law and a registered clearing agency with the SEC. The depository supposedly brings efficiency to the securities industry by retaining custody of some 2 million securities issues, effectively "dematerializing" most of them so that they exist only as electronic files rather than as countless pieces of paper. The depository also provides the services necessary for the maintenance of the securities it has in "custody."
According to the suit, the DTCC has an enormous pecuniary and conflicted interest in the entire short selling scandal through the huge income stream they were realizing from it every day. They have made literally billions of dollars lending individual real shares, in most cases over and over, getting a fee each time they made a journal entry in the "Stock Borrow Program."
The Stock Borrow Program was purportedly set up to facilitate expedited clearance of stock trades. Somewhere along the line, the DTCC became aware that if it could lend a single share an unlimited number of times, it could collect a fee each time, according to Burrell. "There are numerous cases of a single share being lent ten or many more times," giving rise to the complaint that the DTCC has been electronically counterfeiting just as was done via printed certificates before the Crash.
"Such re-hypothecation has in effect made the potential 'float' in a single company's shares virtually unlimited and the term 'float' meaningless. Shares could be electronically created/counterfeited/kited without a registration statement being filed, and without the underlying company having any knowledge such shares are being sold or even in existence." Burrell said the Christian/O'Quinn lawsuits will seek to show that the "counterfeiting/creation of unregistered shares is a specific violation of the Securities Act of 1933, barring the 'Sale of Unregistered Securities'."
While the Nanopierce lawsuit has been filed at the state level, another companion lawsuit just heading to the courts on behalf of Exotics.com (OTC: EXII) will be argued at the Federal level.
Nanopierce's suit in the 2nd Judicial District Court in Nevada, is Case No. CV04-01079, alleges that the DTC's "stock borrow program" was "purportedly created to address SHORT TERM delivery failures," but that the "end result of the program has been to create tens of millions of unissued and unregistered shares to be traded in the public market," and in some instances resulting in "two or more shareholders who purchase shares in separate transactions to own the same shares."
The complaint alleges that the DTC has a colossal disincentive to stop the "stock borrow" program, booking revenues from services of $425,416,000 and similarly, the NSCC deriving revenues of $293,133,000.
Further, the suit alleges that "open positions" resulting from this activity at the close of business on December 31, 2003, "approximated $3,025,467,000" due to NSCC, and $2,303,717,000 due by NSCC, and unsettled positions of $721,750,000 for securities borrowed through the NSCC's "Stock Borrow Program."
Nanopierce claims that DTCC and NSCC have joined in a "scheme" to "manipulate downward the price of the affected securities, thereby reducing the market value of the open fail to deliver positions." The suit also claims that the s have permitted sellers to maintain open fail to deliver positions of tens of millions of shares for periods of a year and even longer.
It quotes the National Association of Security Dealers as admitting that "concerns have been raised by members, issuers, investors and other interested parties about potentially abusive short selling activities occurring in the marketplace. In particular, naked short selling, or selling short without borrowing securities to make delivery, can result in long term failures to deliver, including aggregate failures to deliver that exceed the total float of a security. NASD believes such extended failures to deliver can have a negative effect on the market. Among other things, by not having to deliver securities, naked short sellers can take on larger short positions than would otherwise be permissible, which can facilitate manipulative activity."
Nanopierce claims that it had "relied on material misrepresentations and omissions by DTC and NSCC in trading its shares in the stock market "without knowledge of s' fraud-on-the market through statements they made about the clearing and settlement services they provided." Further, it claims that the s acted with "scienter" since they had a major financial financial motivation to falsely represent their services, which Nanopierce claims are also anticompetitive.
The largely unregulated DTC has become something of a defacto Czar presiding over the entire U.S. markets system, wielding more day-to-day influence and control than the SEC, the NASD and NASDAQ combined. And, as the SEC's July 28 ruling indicates, its monopoly over the electronic trading system appears even to be protected.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corp.'s two preferred shareholders are the New York Stock Exchange and the NASD, a regulatory agency that also owns the NASDAQ (OTCBB: NDAQ) and the embattled American Stock Exchange! Regulators, regulate thyself?
In an era when corporate governance is the primary interest for the SEC and state regulators, the DTCC is hardly a role model. Its 21 directors represent a virtual litany of conflict:
They include Bradley Abelow, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS); Jonathan E. Beyman, Chief Information Officer, Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH); Frank J. Bisignano, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Executive Vice President, Citigroup / Solomon Smith Barney's Corporate Investment Bank (NYSE: C); Michael C. Bodson, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MWD); Gary Bullock, Global Head of Logistics, Infrastructure, UBS Investment Bank (NYSE: UBS); Stephen P. Casper, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, Fischer Francis Trees & Watts, Inc.; Jill M. Considine,Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC);
Also, Paul F. Costello, President, Business Services Group, Wachovia Securities (NYSE: WB); John W. Cummings, Senior Vice President & Head of Global Technology & Services, Merrill Lynch & Co. (NYSE: MER); Donald F. Donahue, Chief Operating Officer, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC); Norman Eaker, General Partner, Edward Jones; George Hrabovsky, President, Alliance Global Investors Service; Catherine R. Kinney, President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, New York Stock Exchange; Thomas J. McCrossan, Executive Vice President, State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT); Eileen K. Murray, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston (NYSE: CSR); James P. Palermo, Vice Chairman, Mellon Financial Corporation (NYSE: MEL); Thomas J. Perna, Senior Executive Vice President, Financial Companies Services Sector of The Bank of New York (NYSE: BNY); Ronald Purpora, Chief Executive Officer, Garban LLC; Douglas Shulman, President, Regulatory Services and Operations, NASD; and Thompson M. Swayne, Executive Vice President, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM).
In their comments to the SEC regarding Regulation SHO in January, the 50 state regulators, through their association, the North American Association of Securities Administrators (NASAA) issued what many consider to be a strong warning that if the DTC is not dealt with in the final regulations, state regulators such as New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer may step to the plate.
In what many considered to have been explosive comments, Ralph Lambiase, NASAA president and Director of the Connecticut Division of Securities, warned "NASAA urges the Commission to reconsider its stance regarding the role of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (the DTC). As a threshold matter, NASAA believes that the Commission should explicitly prohibit the DTC from lending more shares of a security than it actually holds. The ability of the overall proposed rule would be severely impared unless the Commission undertakes to implement such a prohibition."
As the Nanopierce lawsuit reveals, those were indeed strong words, meddling as it did, in a substantial revenues base for the DTCC.
Recently, leading market makers and brokers named in various lawsuits and other actions, including FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion's (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group, Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) Banc of America Securities LLC, Societe Generale's (OTC: SCGLF) SG Cowen Securities Corp. vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN), Knight Trading Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITE), A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), were forced to comply with new short-selling market regulations imposed by the NASD after the SEC had "sat on" the NASD request to plug material loopholes for almost 2-1/2 years.
"The new rules expand the scope of the affirmative determination requirements to include orders received from broker/dealers that are not members of NASD ("non-member broker/dealers").
The new rule is on the web at www.nasdr.com/2610_2004.asp#04-03
The rule itself, while welcomed by small companies and their shareholders in the U.S., nevertheless raised an outcry because the NASD's request to put it into effect had set on a shelf at the SEC since 2001.
The scandal has embroiled hundreds of companies and dozens of brokers and marketmakers, in a web of internaitional intrigue, manipulative short-selling and cross-border acctions and denials.
Comments on Regulation SHO ended January 5, and may be viewed at www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/s72303.shtml .
Some 122 companies, including 13 brokers, such as FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion's (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group and vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN). A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), Knight (NASDAQ: NITE) and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), have been embroiled for over a year in a raging controversy
The remaining 109 companies among the 122 named to date have issued press releases or been named in the media as having been victimized, or as taking various actions, either alone or in concert with other companies, to oppose manipulative trading in the form of illegal naked short selling. The actions have ranged from lawsuits to withdrawals and threatened withdrawals from the electronic trading system managed by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., to withdrawals from toxic financings, to the issuance of dividends or name changes designed to squeeze manipulators, to joining associations or networks or to contacting regulatory authorities to provide documentation of abuses or otherwise complain.

"June 25, 2004 UPDATE 1min. 08 sec. (est.)
Welcome to the Q Television Network Hotline.
Due to the fact that we are curently waiting for confirmation from the carriers that we have been added to their billing systems and confirmation of the carriers launch dates for the Q Television network it will be necessary for us to wait until next week to make a formal announcement.
The network had to produce a guarantee that we had funding for the next 5 years, which is a major requirement of the carriers.
This funding was obtained through private sources and does not affect the shareholders."

I think this news would have been FAR better and would have had a much greater impact on pps if they had not released that hotline update saying we had 5 yrs of financing...OR if they didnt for some reason conceal the fact they have 5 yrs instead of 1 yr in this PR (whichever the true one would be).
good luck all
Take it anyway you like. I take it as : They're not ready yet, but its in the works and in time, they will be full force.

Those damn hotline messages.....QBID should stick to PRs just like everybody else...Too much unofficial fluff came out of those messages & expectations are too high now...Over this add the fact that there is mistrust from their first intent....Oh well...Will take some time before the PPS starts moving IMHO. This PR shoulds have been for atleast 0.01.....

Today's PR says "additional" funding. Seems like Frank said mm's were causing us--investors--to lose millions. How much have you invested?
Anyway--I'm bugged with the release. You guys are focussing on the money (1 yr. 5 yr aspect). I'm more bugged with the way the release ends: "while company pursues licensing with additional carriers." I thought everything was lined up. Thought the new guy--one with the 'record'--was hired to take care of all that! Am I overreacting? Please, feel free to offer another perspective.
Glad to hear money is rolling into the Q, but I just want to know that carriers have already been signed, that we are just waiting for permission to release a pr...not that we are still "pursuing" carriers.

This could mean anything. It seems to me that theyll be pursuing additional carriers no matter how many they have already, even if they have comcast, time warner and all the other biggies...always seeking growth, makes sense.
It takes a lot of time to do this. I worked as a utility crew member for the mobile production units for CBS, FOX/NFL Sports as well as XFL Football (lol the whole ONE season ) However it takes a lot of time since licensing has to come from the FCC and also internal legal documents have to get passed, read, reread, reworded, renegoiatied, ect. Very time consuming...
We have RCN Cable which will broadcast us to SAN FRANSICO, Perhaps the biggest key Gay market. We will be shown in Washignton DC, Boston (Another Gay Market), Chicago, Philidelphia and Parts of New York.
We were shown on a test feed in ComCast of Washignton State and Cox Cable of New Orleans. It is common practice for them to run test runs before actually carrying the channel. We know frank had to run to Washington for contracts... as per the PRs/Hotline...
Think about this, we have been shown on the West Coast and Gulf Coast of America. We will be broadcasting to many of the large gay metro areas of the East Coast/New England Area as well as part of the Mid-west (Chicago)... We are right on track guys! It isn't as simple as flipping a switch, think of HOW MANY PEOPLE are involved along the way... hundreds, thousands of people....
Three cheers for the gay channel. Now what?
Despite all the predictable and tired yammering from religious and so- called moral-watchdog groups, the MTV Networks-backed gay cable channel, Logo, is an idea long overdue. But there are a couple of things to remember here. First, this is a business decision, period. MTV can trot out all the hype about bringing people together and how the country is ripe for acceptance, etc. But if Viacom -- which owns MTV Networks and CBS and Showtime and Nickelodeon and UPN, blah blah media conglomerate blah -- didn't think Logo would make money, it wouldn't exist.
As long as we're all clear here about cultural largesse.
Secondly, once Logo launches on Feb. 17, 2005, that's when the real battle begins. Back in the mid-'90s, when this channel was being considered, you could make an argument that gays were the last social group to get a cable channel directed at them. Already diverse social groups called "men" and "women" in general had hordes to choose from on the dial, but niche programming being all the rage, there were also BET for the African American audience, plenty of Spanish-speaking broadcast channels, myriad other foreign language channels and, yes, even a channel dedicated to golfers. On and on it went, and continues to go.
But gays have become ubiquitous on television, and the newness factor is all but gone. What Logo faces immediately is the daunting task and, depending how you twist it, the possibly offensive (or at the very least, naive) notion that it can cater to all things lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Nobody, except maybe golfers, wants to be so easily typecast. And Logo's tagline, "Different Together," has that dangerous whiff of the bad idea -- the kind that sparks four people who wear ratty Chuck Taylor high-tops (we must be counterculture Ramones fans, right?) to take a cross-country car trip from Jersey to L.A., only to find that they each hate the other's music along the way.
This is not a knock on Logo. If there can be a Tennis Channel and a Food Channel and a Speed Channel, etc., why not a gay channel? In many ways it makes sense, and MTV Networks was quick to tout the buying power of gays and the perceived number of them out there who might, on their way to somewhere else on the dial, stop by Logo and be transfixed not only by the programming - - about 75 percent of which will be bought, not original -- but also by the advertising.
And make no mistake about it, a company like Viacom does its homework. It wouldn't present Logo without lining up powerful companies that will not bow to pressure from "moral" groups. Advertising boycotts only work on weak companies and, historically, don't last long if there's a buck to be made.
But, unfortunately, making money is going to be a difficult task for Logo. MTV Networks says the channel could break even in a couple of years. But that's assuming it works out carriage issues with Comcast, as it has with Time Warner (the channel will be carried by RCN, a smaller cable company that also operates in the Bay Area).
Just like Al Gore's wildly idealistic news channel, great ideas are nonstarters unless you're in 40 million-plus homes. Ideally, you'd hope for 60 million or more. Right now, Logo is nowhere near that, but could be by its launch date -- and if so, that's great news. The bad news: When it does arrive, it will most certainly be on the digital tier, not the analog. Translation: You'll have to pony up a little bit extra for digital cable.
The next major hurdle -- in a landscape lined with major hurdles, this might be the biggest -- is getting interesting content. MTV Networks executives, perhaps wary of the initial spotlight and potential for boycotts, say there won't be sex or profanity on Logo. Well, good luck to you there, folks. But it does raise the question -- why not? Sex and profanity are all over broadcast television, and they get ratings. (Not that anyone should believe for a second that those two staples of life will stay off Logo for long -- it's in the MTV family, for God's sake.)
Unfortunately, what will be ruled out of the Logo lineup is a chance to cash in on the joys of vertical integration -- meaning taking episodes of "Queer As Folk" and "The L Word" from sister channel Showtime and giving them a second run.
Not that borrowed goods won't dot the Logo landscape. The channel will cherry-pick from all Viacom properties -- CBS News included, according to the programmers. That's just a kind way of saying Logo, at least initially, will be fueled by -- how to say this in the most optimistic fashion? -- content you could have seen elsewhere, on channels not necessarily decreed to be gay.
In other words, Logo will show reruns. Not exactly the kind of nirvana that gay viewers may have been seeking. But the good folks at MTV Networks are nothing if not industrious, and they will be cranking out that other 25 percent of the schedule soon enough. It'll be gay, gay, gay, just like the Golf Channel is golf, golf, golf. And what gay viewers will find out soon enough, if they don't suspect it already, is that sometimes narrowcasting is boring and, in the worst cases, it's patronizing.
It may be difficult for Logo to be truly different. And that calls into question -- like Gore's cable channel before it and, say, MTV's other recent offshoot, Spike: The First Network for Men -- whether, in all honesty, the channel is even necessary. If Showtime has "Queer As Folk" and "The L Word" handling the chores of a gay drama, and broadcast television remains infatuated with gays on its sitcoms, and Bravo has, among a growing roster of gay series, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," what, exactly, is left for Logo?
Gay news? Gay animation? What? An initial idea is to buy up gay movies and documentaries, but -- Viacom conveniently owning the Sundance Channel aside -- aren't a whole lot of media outlets showing these films already? Isn't the gay audience already being served elsewhere, just like everybody else?
And something else to consider: When Logo figures out this content predicament and develops something original, will it be interesting? Let's face it, gay people aren't going to watch a bad show just because it's gay- centric. You can only support the cause so long before you're bored into a narcoleptic stupor.
So it appears that knee-jerk boycotts and backlashes are the least of Logo's worries. Witless and/or heartless evangelists are not nearly as scary as being unable to find an original hit show people want to watch -- or, in the bigger picture, a reason for being.

tank, you win!
I knew I had read about RCN previously. From your LOGO article:
. . . .
"But, unfortunately, making money is going to be a difficult task for Logo. MTV Networks says the channel could break even in a couple of years. But that's assuming it works out carriage issues with Comcast, as it has with Time Warner (the channel will be carried by RCN,"
(HEY, ISN'T THIS OUR CARRIER?)
a smaller cable company that also operates in the Bay Area)". . . .
WITH QTN already SIGNED!

My question is; how big of a window is there to continue to load up and pick up more shares at these sub-penny prices. Any opinions would be much appreciated.
I don't know what that meant, all I know is that I wouldn't mind if they were both on there. Theres a lot of flaws with the way LOGO is doing things. Stuff we dont know about, neither do I. I think they will be up and then possibly come down..who knows.
I dont know what you meant by demuse posts.. He's usually creditable but our proof is when it comes out.
Listen, As we look at these message boards everyday, as we read the PR's, as we hear the hotline messages.. You need to look at the time frame. Its only been days since we got the PR about RCN. Its only been weeks since we complained about the PPS dropping, its only been months hearing that QTN is moving forward again...We need to chill out and give them time, including myself!
We'll have a nice Holiday gift come December.

THE SMALL SCREEN
By JOE FLINT
Viacom's Gay Network
Faces Crowded Market
Ample Choices on Rival Channels,
Advertiser Needs Pose Hurdles
July 28, 2004
When Viacom first announced plans for Logo, a cable network aimed at gays, lesbians and transgenders, there were the usual rumblings from religious groups that this was the start of the apocalypse. Louis Sheldon, the head of the Traditional Values Coalition, told the New York Times that the channel was "bad news for American families."
Well, last week MTV Networks, the Viacom unit that will run Logo, unveiled some of its programming plans, and in many ways it is tamer than what conservatives feared and possibly less daring than what its intended audience was expecting. Even the name, which MTV Networks chief Judy McGrath said was chosen because it "avoids stereotypical images and icons" seems designed to neither offend nor inform.
Much of the fare is predictable. Aside from acquiring the rights to mainstream movies with a gay theme ("The Birdcage," "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," "Kissing Jessica Stein"), Cher and her lesbian daughter Chastity are on board to produce "Family Outing," a program that celebrates coming out stories of celebrities. Comedian Margaret Cho also has agreed to produce an original series for the network, which will launch in February.
Logo also is planning a healthy dose of the sort of reality and pop-culture programs that have become staples on MTV and VH1. Bunim-Murray Productions, the company behind "The Real World" and Fox's "The Simple Life," will offer "Fantastic Voyage," which follows travelers on a gay cruise. Another reality program, "My Fabulous Gay Wedding," requires no explanation. VH1 also will produce one of its infamous "list" shows (think "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever") about gays and their influence on entertainment and music.
What do you think of Viacom's plans to create a gay-oriented network? Write to Joe at joe.flint@wsj.com
In unveiling the slate, Matt Farber, who is running Logo, said, "This is one of the few audiences that doesn't have a channel of its own."
While Mr. Farber is right, strictly speaking, about gays not having their own channel, none of the shows he announced would be out of place on many existing cable networks. Aside from Showtime, which has "Queer as Folk" and "The L Word," several other cable channels, including Bravo, E!, MTV and VH1 all have shows that heavily appeal to a gay audience.
That abundance of programming underscores just how tough it will be for Viacom to create a channel that can differentiate itself in a marketplace already filled with shows aimed at a gay audience. The dilemma is that a channel that tries to dig deep into gay culture risks being a turn-off to advertisers and some straight viewers. But a channel that just skims the surface of the gay world will be dismissed as lightweight.
After all, the growth of Black Entertainment Television as well as Fox and UPN gave CBS, NBC and ABC a convenient excuse to get out of trying to program for black viewers. And while on the one hand it is seen as empowering to have a channel that caters to a select group of people, is there not also a touch of "separate but equal" about the whole thing?
That is not to say Viacom's decision to launch Logo isn't daring. Not only has Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone pegged start-up costs at $30 million, but getting distribution outside major urban areas could prove challenging. MTV President Brian Graden says the channel will be in between 10 million and 15 million homes at launch. Getting to the 50 million subscribers that most cable networks need before they can start to make money will be no small task, although Viacom Co-President Tom Freston has said he expects Logo to be profitable within three years.
But while Viacom's efforts might be well-intentioned, ultimately the company is doing this because executives think it is a good for business. Gay consumers' spending power amounts to almost $500 billion a year, according to Prime Access Inc., a New York ad agency. Average household income is 8% higher in gay homes than straight ones, according to Forrester Research Inc. Logo could be a gold mine for Viacom that could make the backlash the channel will face from the usual conservative watchdog groups worth it.
But to get rich quick could mean programming that ends up being more insipid than inspired. That is often the case on BET, also owned by Viacom, where most of the programming is inexpensive and aimed primarily at young black men. The schedule is filled with racy videos and cheap stand-up comedy shows; while that strategy has made it a very profitable channel, the network has never seriously tried to create original series or movies, a step that would go a long way toward silencing its critics.
No one is predicting that Logo will turn into a BET for gays. But the seeds are already there. Logo has said it wants viewers under 50 (just like every other network). And most of its planned shows feel more "Real World" than real world. In its efforts to show just how mainstream gay lifestyle is, Logo risks drowning out the more serious issues such a channel could address.
Wild, Wild West: Ted Harbert, the former chairman of ABC's entertainment division who recently took over as chief of E! Entertainment Television, has some interesting thoughts about the state of the business. Speaking to reporters last week, Mr. Harbert wondered if Hollywood has become "Deadwood," the Western town without rules or ethics.
"It seems as if the demonstrable loss of civility in America's television programming has found its way into the executive suite as well," he said in reference to the battles between Fox, NBC and ABC over who stole whose lame idea for a reality show first. Perhaps, he added, those people need to "re-examine their motives and conduct to make sure they are in the best interest of the viewer."
We salute Mr. Harbert's remarks and only hope he applies the same thinking to E!, which as of late has descended into the gutter with tabloid-style programming and cheap reality fare.

Cher and her lesbian daughter, Chastity Bono, are two of the celebrities with television projects in development for Logo, the forthcoming GLBT-targeted cable channel from MTV Networks.
Details of the new channel's programming were announced Friday in Los Angeles, on the last day of the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour.
Brian Graden, president of MTV/VH1 Entertainment, and Matt Farber, executive consultant for MTV Networks who is spearheading the channel's launch, revealed that Logo has acquired more than 150 movies and documentaries, and 20 projects are currently in development.
One of the projects is a show that focuses on the coming-out stories of famous people, with Cher and Chastity Bono as executive producers. The working title is "Family Outing."
Openly gay comedian Scott Thompson, formerly of "Kids in the Hall," is working on a reality series that focuses on same-sex couples who are planning their weddings. Other celebrities attached to developing Logo shows are Alan Cumming, Margaret Cho and Kathy Griffin.
The basic cable channel is scheduled to launch on Feb. 17, 2005.
First-person documentaries, talk shows and a newsmagazine show are among the original programs in development. Logo is also partnering with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to televise the annual GLAAD Media Awards, starting next spring.
The film titles acquired by Logo include "Philadelphia," "The Birdcage," "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and "Go Fish."
"The programming we're developing will speak in an authentic voice to this audience," said Farber. "We're building this brand to reflect their diversity and tastes through an array of genres, all informed by a gay point of view."
While Logo, backed by entertainment giant Viacom, has received much attention, other television projects are racing to attract GLBT viewers. In fact, two potential competitors made announcements this week.
Trio, a digital cable and satellite channel from NBC Universal, said that it will add a weekly gay programming block to its schedule. Q Television, a new premium channel, announced a distribution deal with RCN Corp. to make the channel available to RCN subscribers in six major cities in September.
In addition, here!TV, a growing pay-per-view service, plans to launch a 24-hour cable channel in the fall and is developing original GLBT-themed programming.
THE MARKET IS RED---RED---RED---HELP ME..I AM DROWNING IN THE RED SEA.
I FEEL UNTIL THE ELECTION WE WILL HAVE TO REALLY HUNT FOR A GOOD DAY TRADE. I HOPE THINGS TURN AROUND FOR ALL THE LONG HOLDERS AND DAY TRADERS OF PENNY'S. WE ALL NEED A BREAK. LOL

The soon-to-be network has seemingly secured itself completely, as additional financing for the company's long-term goals as well as the legal documents to accompany those deals have been negotiated. Viewers can look forward to the 24/7 station being up and running in the near future.

I'm not sure about that, but all these buy and sells at .0052 are for 1-2 million shares, it looks like someone is trying like hell to stop this from dropping. If those big buys stop, this thing is dropping quick.
Sorry, I think that was me...I added at .0056 so of course the price sank the moment after my purchase, as always.
Sorry, hopefully it will bounce back quick now that I'm done buying for today.
How did you know about the snickers..anyway..Listen - IPVO had a similar situation. All great news coming out for them but went from $1.30 to .90 to .70 to .50 and now sitting at .43 under new symbol NMKT. Reason behind the fall was illegal naked shorting and listed on the Berlin Exchange.
I can only assume, thats whats happening to QBID. We should be at .015 at least.

August is right around the corner. What if we were sitting here without any PR since the PR about the hiring of Michael Markovsky in June? We would all be frantic and wondering if this was real. Wondering if they would ever get a carrier. Then I would have expected the price to be under where we are. BUT thats not the case! They have signed with a carrier, RCN. We will be on TV. Its real and they're working on more projects. I Feel comfortable with QBID.

i]StockGate: DTCC Sued Again, $49M Suit Related To Elgindy; NASD Expels,Censures
Jul 28, 2004 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) The Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. has been sued again, this time along with Anthony Elgindy, Schwab Capital Markets (NYSE: SCH), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), and Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC), for a total of $49 million.
In other StockGate activities, the NASD has expelled Ryan & Company, LP (RYCO) of West Conshohoken, PA, for failure to cooperate in an ongoing investigation into whether Ryan and the firm engaged in a widespread scheme of impermissible short selling activity on behalf of three hedge fund clients, and Track Data Securities of Brooklyn has been censured and fined $15,000 for accepting customer short sale orders in certain securities and, for each order, "failing to
make/annotate an affirmative determination that the firm would receive delivery of the security on behalf of the customer or that the firm could borrow the security on behalf of the customer for delivery by settlement date."
The lawsuit, #04-CV-80403, Capece v. Elgindy, et al, was filed in the Southern District of Florida in West Palm Beach. The plaintiff is Louis R. Capece Jr., represented by Robert Charles Stone. It has been assigned to Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp and is expected to be heard by a jury.
In addition to those named, defendants include THE ELGINDY SITES, ROBERT HANSEN ELGINDY, BRADLEY ABELOW, MICHAEL C. BODSON, JONATHAN E. BEYMAN, FRANK J. BISIGNANO, STEPHENS P. CASPER, JILL M.

Charles Schwab & Co. recently said it is exiting the market-making business. It is one of several market makers that have been the subject of accusations and/or legal entanglements over naked shorting allegations and issues.
The company had said it is either the number one or number two market-maker in more than half of all of NASDAQ's (OTCBB: NDAQ) listed stocks.
Recently observers were surprised to find a comment letter submitted to the SEC by Mike Alexander, Senior VP of Charles Schwab, that admits outright that brokerages regularly ignore rules and regulations, saying it is not rules that need to be written; it is changes in behavior that is needed.
The comments were directed towards proposed changes in the U.S. settlement system, but could easily apply to other regulations as well.
"Improvements in the U.S. settlement system will only be truly achieved if and when regulations are rationalized to ensure that all market participants are held accountable for compliance. For example, the industry has struggled with the issue of institutional trade affirmation for quite some time now. While the benefits to the clearance and settlement system are self-evident, Buy-Side firms and Custodian banks have been resistant to make those changes that provide for same-day trade confirmation / affirmation and assurance of trade settlement," said Alexander.
"Schwab opposes the notion that securities intermediaries such as broker-dealers be required to police compliance," he stated. "The NYSE and other SROs have had trade affirmation rules on their books for some time. However, such rules have not been effective in changing the behavior
of Buy-Side firms or their custodians; nor do the rules provide assurance that the affirmed trade will settle.
"Recognition of this fact is evidence that changes to the settlement cycle not only require overhauling systems, but also changing behavior. We believe that only by holding all market
participants directly accountable for making required affirmations will the necessary changes to behavior," he stated at www.sec.gov/rules/concept/s71304/charlesschwab061604.pdf .
In a June 23 release, the SEC stated it has put into place Rule 202(T), which establishes procedures to allow the Commission to temporarily suspend the operation of the current "tick" test in Rule 10a-1, and any short sale price test of any exchange or national securities association, for specified securities.
Through a separate order, the Commission will suspend, on a pilot basis for a period of one-year, the tick test provision of paragraph (a) of Rule 10a-1, and any short sale price test of any exchange or national securities association, for approximately one-third of stocks in the Russell 3000 index.
The order also will suspend, on a pilot basis for a period of one year, the tick test provision of paragraph (a) of Rule 10a-1 for short sales executed in any security included in the Russell 1000 index after 4:15 p.m. Eastern, and all other securities after the close of the consolidated tape, and until the open of the consolidated tape the next day.
The pilot will commence on January 3, 2005 to permit broker-dealers and self-regulatory organizations to make the necessary programming adjustments.
The Commission deferred consideration of the proposal to replace the current "tick" test of Rule 10a-1 with a new uniform bid test. The Commission could reconsider any further action on these proposals after the completion of the pilot.
Rule 203, which will incorporate current Rule 10a-2 and will create a uniform Commission rule requiring broker-dealers, prior to effecting short sales in all equity securities, to "locate" securities available for borrowing.
There will be limited exceptions from the locate requirement, including for short sales by registered market makers in connection with bona-fide market making.
Rule 203 also imposes additional requirements on designated "threshold securities." Rule 203 defines a threshold security to mean an equity security for which there is an aggregate fail to deliver position for five consecutive settlement days at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more and that is equal to at least 0.5% of the issue's total shares outstanding.
Where a clearing agency participant has a fail to deliver position in threshold securities that persists for ten consecutive days after settlement, the participant must take action to close out the position. Until the position is closed out, the participant, and any broker-dealer for which it clears transactions, may not effect further short sales in the particular threshold security without borrowing or entering into a bona fide arrangement to borrow the security.
Rule 203 will become effective 30 days after publication with a compliance date of January 3, 2005, to permit firms to make programming and procedural adjustments.
Rule 200, which among other things, will redesignate current Rule 3b-3 with some modifications to define ownership and aggregation of securities positions, and include a requirement to mark all sell orders in all equity securities. Rule 200 will become effective 30 days after publication.
The Commission also adopted amendments to Rule 105 of Regulation M to remove the current shelf offering exception, and issued interpretive guidance addressing sham transactions designed to evade the rule.
The amendment applies to short sales effected within five days prior to the pricing of a shelf offering. Such short sales may not be covered with offering securities purchased from an underwriter or other broker-dealer participating in the offering.
The Rule 105 amendments will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, and the interpretive guidance will be effective upon such publication.
Opponents of naked short selling were, however, quick to denounce the provision that allows market makers an exemption, and many market observers said that the SEC should provide a public list of companies that fall into the "threshold security" category.
"The SEC claims that the number of companies involved in this 'threshold security' category is 4% of all publicly traded companies. If in fact it is that small the process is certainly manageable," said the website InvestigatetheSEC.com at www.investigatethesec.com . "It is also the right of every issuer, in protecting their business and their investors to know the status of their stock trading."
Some were discussing whether the SEC can keep such information private under the Freedom of Information Act.
The marketplace is already upset over promises by the Berlin Stock Exchange, since broken, that it would delist any company upon request.
"Please understand that cessation of trading in the shares of XRAYMEDIA Inc. (OTCBB: XRYM) is not possible," the exchange told one such requester.
It's not just U.S. companies such as Whistler Investments (OTCBB: WHIS), Sonoran Energy (OTCBB: SNRN), Celsion Corporation (AMEX: CLN), and eLinear Inc. (AMEX: ELU) or Israeli companies that have had serious concerns about their unannounced and unathrorized listings on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange.
Apparently, some 150 British companies are protesting the same fate.
A number of UK-listed companies have demanded a London Stock Exchange investigation after they found that their shares are being traded.
Meanwhile, Whistler, Sonoran and eLinear have announced they have successfully secured their delistings, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rescheduled its open hearing to consider the adoption of amendments to Regulation Sho to July 28 at 9:30 a.m. The announcement is at www.sec.gov/news/digest/dig061504.txt .
According to the London Money Telegraph, "several companies believe the market for their shares has been distorted and that they have fallen in value after trading started on the Berlin-Bremen exchange.
"Some smaller companies, whose shares are lightly traded in London, fear the Berlin market has been used by speculators to short-sell their shares."
The Telegraph said the number of companies are thought to be as high as 150, including even "larger companies" such as Matalan (OTC: MATNF) and Halfords.
Mladen Ninkov, the chairman of Aim-listed Griffin Mining (OTC: GFNMF), was quoted as saying: "We were put on the Berlin market without our knowledge by a German broker and now we've got about 8m shares out in a short sale. It is horrifying - that is about 4 per cent of the company and it is forcing the price down."
A spokesman for the London Stock Exchange said: "If there is evidence of market abuse we would refer that on to the appropriate authorities."
Whistler said that according to its transfer agent records, "we have 5,504,680 shares held by DTC, but the ADP broker search indicates of 6,217,458 shares being reported by broker/dealers as being held on behalf of their customers, indicating a short position of more than 700,000 shares. A summary report can be viewed at www.whistlerinvestments.com/shorts.html .
"We have therefore commenced work with DTC for a formal review of the reported excessive broker/dealer holdings of our stock so that we can conduct our corporate affairs properly in view of our planned stockholders meeting and other upcoming corporate matters. We again advise our stockholders make sure that they receive delivery of any shares that they purchase, and also that their stock is not being borrowed without authorization.
Holly Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments, states "We intend to get to the bottom of the excessive short position and bring stability back into the trading of our stock. We're happy to say that we have 5,133 stockholders and we expect all our stockholders to benefit from the shorters having to cover their short positions."
FinancialWire has reported on the disclosure that "Dateline," the investigatory TV program aired by General Electric's (NYSE: GE) NBC unit, has purportedly been preparing a blockbuster expose of "Stockgate" (see separate story at www.financialwire.net).
It is not known if "Dateline" has uncovered continuing underworld connections to the scandal, but FinancialWire reported that Dateline may be pointing a large finger of conflict at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission itself, which reportedly receives a slice of every transaction fee as part of its budget. According to court filings supported by the O'Quinn/Christian legal network, almost $1 billion annually is received by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. for its "Stock Borrow Program," which the lawsuits claim is just a fancy name for counterfeiting, as the DTCC purportedly lends out many multiples of the actual certificates in the float. Apparently the SEC receives a transaction fee for each transaction facilitated by these loans of non-existent certificates, which could knock a hole in its budget should the revenues from the practice be halted.
The North American Securities Administrators Association, comprised of state and Canadian regulators, has pointedly told the SEC that either it must rethink its cozy DTCC relationship, or it hints, some of its more aggressive state practitioners (think Eliot Spitzer) may do the rethinking for the SEC.
Naked short selling is worrisome for hundreds of small U.S. companies, including those recently asking to be delisted from the Berlin Stock Exchange, such as Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: GPXM), Nannaco, Inc. (OTCBB: NNCO), 5G Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: FGWC), CyberAds, Inc. (OTCBB :CYAD), Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: PVCT), House of Brussels Chocolates (OTCBB: HBSL), InforMedix, Inc. (OTCBB: IFMX), Tissera, Inc. (OTCBB: TSSR), Americana Publishing, Inc. (OTCBB: APBH), Celsion Corporation (AMEX: CLN), ChampionLyte Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CPLY), Pickups Plus, Inc. (OTCBB:PUPS), China Wireless Communications Inc. (OTC BB: CWLC), CareDecision Corp. (OTCBB: CDED), Titan General Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: TTGH), IPVoice Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: IPVO), Whistler Investments (OTCBB: WHIS), WARP Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: WRPT), BGR Corp. (OTCBB: BGRR), ICOA, Inc., (OTCBB: ICOA), DICUT, INC. (OTCBB: DCUTE), NHC Communications Inc. (TSX: NHC; OTCBB: NHCMF), Stratus Services Group, Inc. (OTCBB: SERV), Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: GPXM).
Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG has been singled out as the broker and market maker that has been "listing" the companies. It is suspected that one broker, RA Angsar Limprecht, is involved in all if not most of the listings.
Small public companies are squeezed not only by hedge funds, naked short sellers, overseas listers such as the Berlin Stock Exchange, and the out-of-control "Stock Borrow Program" run by the governance-conflict-laden Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, but to the amazement of the industry, as often and not by their own regulators.
A new staff recommendation by Annette Nazareth, director of the division of market regulation at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to "outlaw" ownership of paper certificates at the same time the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation is under intense scrutiny for alleged electronic counterfeiting has begun hitting the small public company markets, company executives, shareholders and manipulative short-selling opponents like the proverbial ton of bricks.
A Dow Jones (NYSE: DJ) article by Judith Burns sparked the uproar, as the inextricably intertwined web of connections between the SEC and the DTC, which is sagging from the weight of conflicted governance by representatives from a rollcall of industry heavyweights, including NASD, which owns NASDAQ (OTCBB: NDAQ), the New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH), to name only a few.
The rule proposal would bar stock transfer agents from handling shares that carry any limitations on transfer. Control over stock certificates is one of the ways that small companies have combated illegal naked short sellers. Burns quoted Nazareth as saying that these companies' "self-help" efforts "aren't helping U.S. markets overall." Nazareth was quoted as saying restrictions on stocks are "a significant step backwards" in the "move from paper stock certificates to automated computerized trading."
Nazareth said that abusive "naked" short selling has been a problem "in some cases," but that is "best dealt with by a pending SEC proposal," presumably Regulation SHO.
SEC Commissioner William Donaldson purportedly publicly refused to answer any questions from the NASD about the timing of the Commission's consideration of the Regulation at a conference where he was simultaneously proposing early reforms of the mutual fund scandals. The Dow Jones said, however, that Robert Colby, SEC deputy market regulation division director, predicted the SEC will take that to a vote in early June.
The Dow Jones report noted that "naked short-selling occurs when sellers don't buy shares to replace those they borrowed, a manipulative practice that can drive a company's stock price sharply lower.
The stock certiticate plan has been put to a 30-day comment periodl Then the SEC would have to vote to adopt it. If adopted, Colby was quoted as saying that regulators might "sue firms that seek to impose restrictions on stock transfers."
The recent lawsuit filed by Nanopierce Technologies (OTCBB: NPCT) alleges that the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. has a lot of reasons, almost one billion of them a year, to keep illegal naked short selling in operation. It was the shot across the bow by the legendary Houston law firms of Christian, Smith, Wukoson and Jewell, and OQuinn, Laminack and Pirtle, whose notches already include environmental targets, the breast implant industry and the tobacco industry, all brought to their knees.
In comments to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, C. Austin Burrell, who is providing litigation support and research for the law firms, said that StockGate is more massive than anyone may have imagined. "Illegal Naked Short Selling has stripped hundreds of billions, if not TRILLIONS, of dollars from American investors," and have resulted in over 7,000 public companies having been "shorted out of existence over the past six years." Burrell said some experts believe as much as $1 trillion to $3 trillion has been lost to this practice.
He stated that the restrictions on short selling were deliberately put into the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 because of the first-hand evidence then available that the "sheer scale of the crashes was a direct result of intentional manipulation of US markets through abusive short selling by a massive conspiracy."
Burrell noted that the 65-lawyer team presided over by lead lawyers Wes Christian and John O'Quinn has uncovered more than 1,200 hedge fund and offshore accounts working through more than 150 broker-dealers and market makers in a joint cooperative effort to strip small and medium size public companies of their value.
Recently the NASD and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved an interim naked short-selling band-aid, requiring U.S. brokers to make an "affirmative determination" that short-sellers, even foreign short-sellers, mostly Canadian, can find certificates to cover before processing the order.
Last year, many besieged public companies sought refuge from the manipulation by seeking to exit the DTC, but on July 28, 2003, the SEC stated "the issues surrounding naked short selling are not germane to the manner in which DTC operates as a depository registered as a clearing agency. Decisions to engage in such transactions are made by parties other than DTC. DTC does not allow its participants to establish short positions resulting from their failure to deliver securities at settlement. While the Commission appreciates commenters' concerns about manipulative activity, those concerns must be addressed by other means."
The Nanopierce lawsuit, said to be the first of many out of the box, emphatically suggests otherwise. According to lawyer Christian, et.al., the DTC is at the very heart of the problem, and has almost a billion dollars a year at stake in keeping the problem.
The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, a limited-purpose trust company under New York State banking law and a registered clearing agency with the SEC. The depository supposedly brings efficiency to the securities industry by retaining custody of some 2 million securities issues, effectively "dematerializing" most of them so that they exist only as electronic files rather than as countless pieces of paper. The depository also provides the services necessary for the maintenance of the securities it has in "custody."
According to the suit, the DTCC has an enormous pecuniary and conflicted interest in the entire short selling scandal through the huge income stream they were realizing from it every day. They have made literally billions of dollars lending individual real shares, in most cases over and over, getting a fee each time they made a journal entry in the "Stock Borrow Program."
The Stock Borrow Program was purportedly set up to facilitate expedited clearance of stock trades. Somewhere along the line, the DTCC became aware that if it could lend a single share an unlimited number of times, it could collect a fee each time, according to Burrell. "There are numerous cases of a single share being lent ten or many more times," giving rise to the complaint that the DTCC has been electronically counterfeiting just as was done via printed certificates before the Crash.
"Such re-hypothecation has in effect made the potential 'float' in a single company's shares virtually unlimited and the term 'float' meaningless. Shares could be electronically created/counterfeited/kited without a registration statement being filed, and without the underlying company having any knowledge such shares are being sold or even in existence." Burrell said the Christian/O'Quinn lawsuits will seek to show that the "counterfeiting/creation of unregistered shares is a specific violation of the Securities Act of 1933, barring the 'Sale of Unregistered Securities'."
While the Nanopierce lawsuit has been filed at the state level, another companion lawsuit just heading to the courts on behalf of Exotics.com (OTC: EXII) will be argued at the Federal level.
Nanopierce's suit in the 2nd Judicial District Court in Nevada, is Case No. CV04-01079, alleges that the DTC's "stock borrow program" was "purportedly created to address SHORT TERM delivery failures," but that the "end result of the program has been to create tens of millions of unissued and unregistered shares to be traded in the public market," and in some instances resulting in "two or more shareholders who purchase shares in separate transactions to own the same shares."
The complaint alleges that the DTC has a colossal disincentive to stop the "stock borrow" program, booking revenues from services of $425,416,000 and similarly, the NSCC deriving revenues of $293,133,000.
Further, the suit alleges that "open positions" resulting from this activity at the close of business on December 31, 2003, "approximated $3,025,467,000" due to NSCC, and $2,303,717,000 due by NSCC, and unsettled positions of $721,750,000 for securities borrowed through the NSCC's "Stock Borrow Program."
Nanopierce claims that DTCC and NSCC have joined in a "scheme" to "manipulate downward the price of the affected securities, thereby reducing the market value of the open fail to deliver positions." The suit also claims that the s have permitted sellers to maintain open fail to deliver positions of tens of millions of shares for periods of a year and even longer.
It quotes the National Association of Security Dealers as admitting that "concerns have been raised by members, issuers, investors and other interested parties about potentially abusive short selling activities occurring in the marketplace. In particular, naked short selling, or selling short without borrowing securities to make delivery, can result in long term failures to deliver, including aggregate failures to deliver that exceed the total float of a security. NASD believes such extended failures to deliver can have a negative effect on the market. Among other things, by not having to deliver securities, naked short sellers can take on larger short positions than would otherwise be permissible, which can facilitate manipulative activity."
Nanopierce claims that it had "relied on material misrepresentations and omissions by DTC and NSCC in trading its shares in the stock market "without knowledge of s' fraud-on-the market through statements they made about the clearing and settlement services they provided." Further, it claims that the s acted with "scienter" since they had a major financial financial motivation to falsely represent their services, which Nanopierce claims are also anticompetitive.
The largely unregulated DTC has become something of a defacto Czar presiding over the entire U.S. markets system, wielding more day-to-day influence and control than the SEC, the NASD and NASDAQ combined. And, as the SEC's July 28 ruling indicates, its monopoly over the electronic trading system appears even to be protected.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corp.'s two preferred shareholders are the New York Stock Exchange and the NASD, a regulatory agency that also owns the NASDAQ (OTCBB: NDAQ) and the embattled American Stock Exchange! Regulators, regulate thyself?
In an era when corporate governance is the primary interest for the SEC and state regulators, the DTCC is hardly a role model. Its 21 directors represent a virtual litany of conflict:
They include Bradley Abelow, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS); Jonathan E. Beyman, Chief Information Officer, Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH); Frank J. Bisignano, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Executive Vice President, Citigroup / Solomon Smith Barney's Corporate Investment Bank (NYSE: C); Michael C. Bodson, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MWD); Gary Bullock, Global Head of Logistics, Infrastructure, UBS Investment Bank (NYSE: UBS); Stephen P. Casper, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, Fischer Francis Trees & Watts, Inc.; Jill M. Considine,Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC);
Also, Paul F. Costello, President, Business Services Group, Wachovia Securities (NYSE: WB); John W. Cummings, Senior Vice President & Head of Global Technology & Services, Merrill Lynch & Co. (NYSE: MER); Donald F. Donahue, Chief Operating Officer, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC); Norman Eaker, General Partner, Edward Jones; George Hrabovsky, President, Alliance Global Investors Service; Catherine R. Kinney, President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, New York Stock Exchange; Thomas J. McCrossan, Executive Vice President, State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT); Eileen K. Murray, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston (NYSE: CSR); James P. Palermo, Vice Chairman, Mellon Financial Corporation (NYSE: MEL); Thomas J. Perna, Senior Executive Vice President, Financial Companies Services Sector of The Bank of New York (NYSE: BNY); Ronald Purpora, Chief Executive Officer, Garban LLC; Douglas Shulman, President, Regulatory Services and Operations, NASD; and Thompson M. Swayne, Executive Vice President, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM).
In their comments to the SEC regarding Regulation SHO in January, the 50 state regulators, through their association, the North American Association of Securities Administrators (NASAA) issued what many consider to be a strong warning that if the DTC is not dealt with in the final regulations, state regulators such as New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer may step to the plate.
In what many considered to have been explosive comments, Ralph Lambiase, NASAA president and Director of the Connecticut Division of Securities, warned "NASAA urges the Commission to reconsider its stance regarding the role of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (the DTC). As a threshold matter, NASAA believes that the Commission should explicitly prohibit the DTC from lending more shares of a security than it actually holds. The ability of the overall proposed rule would be severely impared unless the Commission undertakes to implement such a prohibition."
As the Nanopierce lawsuit reveals, those were indeed strong words, meddling as it did, in a substantial revenues base for the DTCC.
Recently, leading market makers and brokers named in various lawsuits and other actions, including FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion's (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group, Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) Banc of America Securities LLC, Societe Generale's (OTC: SCGLF) SG Cowen Securities Corp. vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN), Knight Trading Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITE), A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), were forced to comply with new short-selling market regulations imposed by the NASD after the SEC had "sat on" the NASD request to plug material loopholes for almost 2-1/2 years.
"The new rules expand the scope of the affirmative determination requirements to include orders received from broker/dealers that are not members of NASD ("non-member broker/dealers").
The new rule is on the web at www.nasdr.com/2610_2004.asp#04-03
The rule itself, while welcomed by small companies and their shareholders in the U.S., nevertheless raised an outcry because the NASD's request to put it into effect had set on a shelf at the SEC since 2001.
The scandal has embroiled hundreds of companies and dozens of brokers and marketmakers, in a web of internaitional intrigue, manipulative short-selling and cross-border acctions and denials.
Comments on Regulation SHO ended January 5, and may be viewed at www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/s72303.shtml .
Some 122 companies, including 13 brokers, such as FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion's (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group and vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN). A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), Knight (NASDAQ: NITE) and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), have been embroiled for over a year in a raging controversy
The remaining 109 companies among the 122 named to date have issued press releases or been named in the media as having been victimized, or as taking various actions, either alone or in concert with other companies, to oppose manipulative trading in the form o

Holy Crap. Thats a wide spread. Maybe they need to fill the bids before moving to the ask?
Nite - bid @ .0052 ask @ .0068
Best- bid @.005 ask @ .0078
Jeff- bid @.005 ask @ .006
Anyone here have L2's???
You own this stock for 2 or 3 months (which is probably true)
You decide to sell because you're fed up with the stock not moving. You're so digusted that you dont even bother checking it anymore.
Year 2008 stock is trading at $10 a share. You might be back in when you saw it move to $5 but you might not be in at all. You say to yourself If I was only patient those 3 months and held, I would have owned this stock from .01! JUST 3 months out of 48 months!
Thats the way I look at it.
My exit point is well below even $3 but I'll be daytrading it for a long time. I think parital sell will come @.20, then .75.

Folks, don't jump off the cliff...put the noose down and don't stand in front of moving vehicles. Our time will come. Again.
The number of shares you own is substantially reduced by a reverse stock split.

However it still does not tamp down the frustration. Where will $1mil financing get us? And what happened to the 5 year financing that Frank announced before? It's these little inconsistencies that kill the stock. Putting the cart before the horse does not help. This is my venting for the day.

Very odd!
yeah, we used to look for tv networks that were broadcasting at less than a dollar, now here we are just over a month away from broadcasting into the some of the biggest cities in the country and soon we will be less than half a cent????

They are also buying back shares until September so it may behoove us all to have a much lower PPS for the time because in the end, the more shares they buy back the higher our pps will go !

Market cap would need at the level of microsoft to generate the cash you're talking about. With revenues from subscribers and possible ads, the float would be reduced from a buyback helping the PPS out up a couple of cents but not $1. I think QBID has got you a little excited Kev. I think you are the one that needs a little education about how this game works.....why don't you go back to your finance for dummys book and get back to me....I was being realistic....
Remember the buy back, we will buy alot more shares at .006 then we will at .03! Remember that! Hehehe...
Go Qbid, Go CMKX!

Ummmmmm understand the buying power of the Gay community is OVER 500 BILLION DOLLARS... That is half of one TRILLION DOLLARS!
If they tap only 1/10 of 1 % of the 500 Billion, we are now worth 500 MILLION DOLLARS...
At 5/10 of 1 % we are now worth 2.5 Billion dollars...
at just 1% of the 500 Billion spending power (assuming we only reach 1% of that market) we are worth 5 billion dollars.... WITH ALL THE SHARES AUTHORIZED, WE WOULD BE WORTH .25-.35 Cents, with no over value.
At just 3% of the 500 billion spending power, that places us at 15 Billion value, hence your 1 dollar a share...
BET was bought out in the BILLIONS of dollars and that was almost 10 years ago for a BLACK Tv Network... The black spending power is less then that of the Gay community seeing how many black families also have children, where as only 20% of Gay couples have children (that 20% was from the US Census that recorded Gay households)...
If black entertainment can be bought for billions, what would a 24/7 Gay Nework get 8-10 years after BET?!?!?!?

Thanks John,
That's all I was looking for,I'm glad to see that there are some on this board with a good grasp on some of the numbers I was looking for. I am looking to buy more but wanted to throw out a few questions before I decided. Thanks again
Qbid is doing fine, and at .006 you have an excellent entry price 
Buy cmkx if you haven't, just my opinion however, it will be a 'hit' stock!

During the 2004 Super Bowl, Janet Jackson's breast was exposed during her halftime duet with Justin Timberlake. Viacom's CBS television network, which aired the show, and Viacom's MTV, which produced the halftime show, apologized for what they describe as an `unscripted moment.' CBS estimates that some 140 million Americans tuned into the game, which would make it the most-watched Super Bowl in history. FCC Chairman Michael C. Powell issued a statement the following morning, calling the incident a `classless, crass and deplorable stunt' and instructed the Commission to open an immediate investigation on its own motion. The FCC has received more than 500,000 complaints about the Super Bowl halftime show. Chairman Powell's probe could result in fines against CBS's 20 owned and operated stations and the more than 200 affiliate stations that aired the broadcast. If the Commission levies the maximum $27,500 fine, CBS affiliates would have to pay $5.5 million, about the cost of two Super Bowl ads, while CBS, through its owned stations, would be fined approximately $550,000.

Yesterday I got some GXXL. They're giving a stock dividend of 1 share of FNRP for every 5 shares of GXXL (record date is tomorrow). THEN, GXXL is doing a forward split of 10-to-1.
So my 50k shares will get me 10k shares of FNRP for free, and then turn into 500k shares of GXXL.
GXXL seems to be getting business, but I can't find anything out about FNRP. However, it seemed like a decent lottery ticket.
Problem is, I noticed there are very few of the usual faces on that thread, and that worries me. Did you all pass on that one? Did I do yet another bad thing?

Viacom faces fat fine over Jackson boober
FCC staff: $550,000 levy for Super Bowl stunt
As expected, Viacom will receive a hefty fine for the Janet Jackson breast exposure during February’s Super Bowl halftime that sparked the ongoing indecency debate in this election year.
It will be the biggest fine ever levied on a TV broadcaster, $550,000 against the 20 Viacom-owned CBS stations that aired the incident.
The $550,000 figure comes from an FCC staff recommendation to its commissioners. The recommendation advises that only Viacom’s CBS-owned stations, and not the country's other 180 or so other CBS affiliates, receive the fine.
Viacom owns CBS and MTV, the producer of the halftime show in which Jackson so infamously bared her breast at the end of her performance, covered by a nipple shield and nothing else.
FCC indecency standards prohibit the broadcast of sexual or excretory-related material from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., when kids may be watching or listening. The halftime show aired in the 9 p.m. hour.
Viacom immediately apologized and Jackson insisted it was an accident, but the FCC received more than 500,000 complaints about the flash. Since then the commission has been considering what action to take against Viacom and how much it could possibly fine it.
The investigation reportedly cleared Viacom and CBS of any advance knowledge of the stunt, placing most of the blame on Jackson and co-performer Justin Timberlake. Nearly 90 million people watched the Super Bowl.
The fine still needs to be approved by the FCC’s five commissioners, but since chairman Michael Powell was one of the first to call for an investigation, complaining after he and his family watched the show, it seems doubtful the fine will be reduced by the full commission.
It will be only the third time in history that the FCC has fined a broadcast entity for indecency. But it won’t be the biggest fine ever levied. Clear Channel paid $1.75 million to settle several complaints earlier this year, many stemming from Howard Stern’s radio show.
The FCC is set to vote on the fine in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help and my apologies for the rocky start.D0
I mean if they were some sort of signal... what in the heck could they be signalling? It's not like we're getting much flux in movement.
Wierd.
I was thinking about the whole 1 mil loan vs. the "we're secure for the next 5 years" bit. What if the do have the money for the next 5 years... however what if the loan was more to help with the buyback? (which I am assuming still is happening even though we haven't heard anything in a while). That would make sense especially with the prices this low right now.
What say ya'll?
Of course as always... I'm pretty new at this and have been know to fly blind on more than one occasion.

It's just more miss-direction from Frank the "I tanked the Q" Olsen!
Still holding and still B/tching

can anyone elaborate what it means???
Are we heavily manipulated????
For the record- I added a bit to my short term position today. 12m is secured for a long haul!!!

So my 50k shares will get me 10k shares of FNRP for free, and then turn into 500k shares of GXXL.
GXXL seems to be getting business, but I can't find anything out about FNRP. However, it seemed like a decent lottery ticket.
Problem is, I noticed there are very few of the usual faces on that thread, and that worries me. Did you all pass on that one? Did I do yet another bad thing?
I am in GXXL also since yesterday....I got in at 0.0086...right now it is at 0.0070...Hopefully before the forward split it is above 0.01 cents.....

Always do your DD before Investing or Daytrading
Securities fraud
Securities fraud can be described as deceptive practices in the stock and commodity markets. Generally, securities fraud occurs when investors are enticed to part with their money based on untrue statements. Securities Fraud is illegal. Securities fraud may be committed by, among others, investors, employees of a brokerage houses, corporate executives or their shareholders, or by other market participants. Securities Fraud destroys our confidence in the securities and investments markets and casts doubt over investments into legitimate companies. Therefore, it is very important to identify and report these crimes. The FBI does not advocate citizens acting on their own to investigate criminal activity. Rather, we strongly encourage citizens to take action by notifying the FBI or other law enforcement agencies whenever they believe a crime may have occurred.
Examples of securities fraud:
Providing false information on a company financial statement.
Providing false information on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings.
Lying to the company auditors.
Insider trading.
Stock manipulation schemes.
Broker embezzlements.

The RSI ranges from 0 to 100, but a stock is considered overbought if it reaches the 70 level, meaning that you should consider selling. When it is a true bull market, an RSI of 80 might be a better level since stocks often trade at higher valuations. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is a strong buying indicator (20 in a strong bear market).
I usually buy when stocks are below 40RSI and sell when they reach 60

Oh, man! People must bomBARD them with phone calls about each and every hotline message! That sucks.
Blink. Blink.
Hi this is the Q Hotline message for Thursday July 29th and this message will address contraversy about the hotline.
The hotline was created to answer shareholders most frequently asked questions and to keep our office lines free, We've recieved a lot of critism about it for many reasons including that the information incourages day trading by releasing to much advanced information.
Also we've not always been able to do what we planned to do or announced that we planned to do on the exact day. And this creates a loss of faith with shareholders, which is not our objective.
For this reason we've cut back on hotline messages and are considering doing away with the hotline alltogether. It was created for the shareholders and if its doing more harm then good then we do not want to continue it.
In the future when we have announcments to make, they will appear in press releases with no advance warning. When our programming schedule is complete, it will be posted on our website. As will any other minor information we want to make available to you.
Since the Hotline was created for our shareholders it is up to you whether you wish us to keep it or discontinue it. You can let us know by email to info@qtelevision.com
One other matter we wish to address today is the question about the current share price, which so many of you have emailed and called us about. We know you're dissappointed that it isn't higher, and so are we.
First of all we are not selling or dumping shares or doing anything to negatively effect the share price. Please understand that we do not control the market.
The best thing you can do to help the stock is buy while its low and drive the price up which will discourage the people who are shorting the market.
We dont have all the answers for you but we hope that this answers a lot of the questions that you raised in your emails to us.
Thank You for calling.

Any more freaks down here????
over and out for now.
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, down the hole we go.
sorry, just in a real bad mood.
I GOT MY VOTE IN.
I personally want to keep it. It gives me a sense of securtiy. By the time another PR comes out people will sell. I need to know they are in meetings, when a pr is coming out, or a message like today..Shareholders need to hear something, especially from a start up company...
Once they are up and running and have subscribers, then maybe we wont,,but I say keep it for now.

Thank you for calling the Q Hotline on Thursday July 29th.
The hotline was created to answer shareholders most frequently asked questions and to keep our office lines free. We've recieved a lot of critism about it for many reasons including that the information incourages day trading by releasing to much advanced information.
Also, we've not always been able to do what we want to do when we say we're going to do it do on the exact day. And this creates a loss of faith with our shareholders, which we do understand. It is not our objective to dissappoint you.
For this reason we have cut back on hotline messages and are considering doing away with it alltogether. In the future when we have announcements to make, they will appear in press releases with no advanced warning.
For information that is perhaps not big enough to warrant a press release we'll post it on our website but only after it has happened.
When our programming schedule is complete, it will be posted on our website.
Since the Hotline was created for our shareholders it is up to you whether you wish us to keep it or discontinue it. We know from hearing from you that there are very many mixed feelings on this subject Let us know by email to info@qtelevision.com
Another matter we wish to address today is the question about the current share price, which so many have emailed and called us about.
We are not selling or dumping shares nor are we doing anything to negatively effect the share price. Please understand that we do not control the market.
For those of you who have been calling & emailing us asking us what effects we are having on the share price, the answer is, we're not doing anything. We want it to go up as much as you do, we do not control the market. We do not know why the stock is at its current level.
We hope that this answers a lot of the questions that you have in your emails to us. We have over 300 and can't possibly answer all of them so we do hope that this helps.
Thank you so much.

exactly, My opinion also I cant believe all the panicking I mean we already got a carrier and the launch date is in sept maybe time to panick if there is no rise in the pps in october but Q is on track frank is doing a pretty good job they are busy and they should get rid of the hotline because everyone wants to panick the second it doesnt happen exactly on the day and minute the hotline said it would. everyone panicking and calling Q,s office is gonna give frank a hearet attack and then we would be screwed. he is kinda old and this must be a stressful time for him being very busy and all Id hate to hear the investors gave him a heart attack. I have faith in Q and frank unfortunately I found that faith too late to get in cheap like some of you did and I only have 400,000 shares(yep added another 100k today at .0053) but I am putting everything I can spare into Q. this post is long enough and just reflects MHO. never buy or sell any stock without first doing your own DD. good luck everyone and go Q

you do a great job with your posts 1BT I know I havent done much posting in a long time but Q has brought the fever back in me lol. I am always here and always reading though have been for quite awhile now not sure how long seems like 50 years lol but think its been about 2
I assume by what you said that you wanted a response from me in regards to my "childish post." As I stated in my post, I was not suggesting that QBID would ever reach the 1 dollar level. I understand that it is quite a stretch. If interested, read through all of the very few posts I have made, and you will see that I have never made any predictions on the future share price of this company. I was merely pointing out that if you cannot think of a way to reach a dollar a share without a reverse split, then you are very narrow minded a need more education. I did not even insinuate that it would ever reach that level. I was simply stating the obvious way for that to occur based on the reality of how the market works. As I stated, I was not meaning it as an attack and didn't mean any offense. I was more insinuating that you were blatantly bashing the stock with a very old tool than anything else. I'm sure we could talk about our "finance for dummies" books all day and you could even call me names like the mature person you so obviously are, but I can see by your post that you can in fact see a possible way for the share price to reach a dollar, making this whole exchange moot. You stated it below. Read my few previous posts if you like. I am not the least bit excited about QBID. Of course I hope it does well, as I have a relatively small position in this stock. I, however, have no specific expectations of a dollar a share. Do me a favor if you have a chance, please look up the financials of SIRI for me. I have a position in that stock and I was just wondering if they have the revenue or assets to support the current share price of $2.50 or the share price last month of over $4.00? Could you please send me your copy of "Finance for Dummies?" I seem to have lost mine decades ago after my business class in high school. It is probably on you book shelf next to your "Basher's Handbook." If I read you wrong I apologize, but it is you who attacked me. I was just pointing out the obvious. I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I have a life. I didn't mean any disrespect by making you wait for the response you desired. Have a good night.

P.S. If you feel you must, you can email me at <revkev29902@yahoo.com> I am no longer a child and will not argue in an open forum out of respect for the members.

I think you are the one that needs a little education about how this game works.....why don't you go back to your finance for dummys book and get back to me....I was being realistic....You see no other altermative? No offense, but you don't have much of a grasp on finance, do you? Another alternative to a reverse splt, not even taking into account the claim to be retiring shares, would be to make a bunch of money. I'm not saying they will make a lot of money, nor am I suggesting they will reach a dollar. I am just saying that if you honestly can't think of any other alternative for reaching a dollar than a reverse split, you really should take a class in finance, or at least read a book, magazine, or newspaper once in a while. No offense intended, your post just seemed so blatantly unobjective. Have a nice day.

Can someone help me..I can't figure it out but something is on my back or actually it might be my shoulders, feels so heavy, its stressing me out and making me tired! Feels like 200lbs weights on both sides!
Thats what it is, its a weight on each side of my shoulders. It keeps getting heavier and heavier. Last week I think it was only 100 lbs. But wait a minute let me see if I can read this right --- on 1 of them, it says "MM" and the other side, it says "qbid".. Which one do I wish to get rid of first to lift some of the weight off!!

lmfao. well I think we should get rid of the mm first and make them dig their own hole *wicked evil grin* but as for advice on qbid well I would have to say since I am in love with this stock any advice I give should not be paid attention to as I am speaking with emotions and when trading emotions only screw things up but rest assured you are not the only one that dreams of qbid and wakes up wondering about quid and calls the hotline 10 times a day and cannot stop talking about qbid and lives and breathes qbid. I dont know if there is any help for this qbid addiction but I pray we all get rich. good night all and be well I am off to cuddle with My lovely wife then have dinner and if you see a new member come aboard with the nic name crosseyed its My wife cause she says she is going cross eyed watching this screen all day for me while I work roflmfao. I think she gets rather bored and is ready to participate in the joking around and laughing etc.

July 29, 2004 3rd Update 1min. 37sec.(est.)
Hi Thank you for calling Q Television.
We'd like to thank all of you who responded so quickly and in such high volume to our request for information as to whether or not you would like the hotline continued.
Although we've recieved a mixed response, we do feel that the majority of shareholders would really prefer that we stop for all of the reasons that we discussed previously. Particularly that it provides to much information to the day traders. And we certainly dont want to encourange them.
We listen to you, we appreciate your input and we are going to discontinue the hotline as of today.
Franks idea is to use this line to run sound bites of some of our new programming. That would be audio exerts of some of the fresh new programming thats currently in production here at Q.
One of those is called Wow, its a woman on woman talk show format, another is a gay history program. We also have a fabulous new program coming on called Q on the move which will cover all the current events in the gay & lesbian community all over the country.
I think we're also going to have a music video program which is going to be quite exciting. As well as many other fresh new programs that are currently in production and if we're able to, we will run some audio exerts or as Frank says, "sound bites", on this line in the near future.
I dont know when they'll be available but we'll certianly post it on the website.
So keep checking out the website at www.qtelevision.com and thats it for us at the hotline so..check out the website and stay tuned.
#1. See how she explained the programming on the hotline?? WHY CANT SHE KEEP DOING THAT ON THE HOTLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
#2. See how she explained the programming on the hotline?? WHY CAN'T THEY DO THAT IN A PR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#3. How could they make the decision to cut it off 3 hours after their last message? Helllooooo people on the west coast are probably still working and didn't even get a chance to vote. Do they think everyone heard it?
#4. Frank was sending letters to shareholders in 2002 and stopped. PPS fell to .0001. I better hear sound bites!
#5. How did they view all the responses like she said when she still has the 300 emails that came in from beforehand????
#6. How do they expect to add information about programming on their website if they can t even put the latest news on the right page!!!!
Just thought I'd express myself and take at least 10 lbs off my shoulders... I hope the mm weight comes off first!
[This message has been edited by 1BigTip (edited July 29, 2004).]
[This message has been edited by 1BigTip (edited July 29, 2004).]
Just from hearing what she said opened my mind to new worlds. Imagine all the producers that came up with a Gay "Show" but really had no one to carry it... well now they do..Hopefully they call Q Television to air their idea for a new show. I am pretty sure people are in production for a reality gay series which Q Television might air...
Think about the avenues that open up, Q Television doesn't have to be the "only" one to think of all programming, they need to fish and reel in others who are looking for a contract with a network.
This is huge!
See what 10 lbs less can do!

Kguts good point on SIRI & their overall value. What's funny is they won't even use the word profit anytime in the near future yet I will gaurantee you the will NEVER see the underside of a dollar again.
I'm not going to make a bold prediction that QBID will be a dollar a share anytime soon but I will state a FACT!
Call it whatever you want but this is a "FACT!"
BROADCASTING NATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORKS DO NOT TRADE FOR LESS THAN A DOLLAR A SHARE!

#4. Frank was sending letters to shareholders in 2002 and stopped. PPS fell to .0001. I better hear sound bites!
Now that the hotline is over, after 3 hours of e-mails, we are entering the quiet period again (for those who don't know what that is, read 1BigTips thread "Q 5 Years Ago"). Getting rid of that hotline is probably the worse thing they could have done. The proper thing to have done would be to inteligently think out before hand what they put on there, not get rid of it all together. If they did that from the begining, they would not be in this mess. What happens when no sound bites appear on that hotline after a day? a week? a month? PPS down the toilet. Everyone might think getting rid of it is the best thing to do, but if they had any decent business sense, they would utilize that asset properly, not abandon it when it is needed most.
P.S. Go over to the MLON thread and see where all the old "QBID'ers" are putting their money. Many believe it is the next gem.

Now that the hotline is over, after 3 hours of e-mails, we are entering the quiet period again (for those who don't know what that is, read 1BigTips thread "Q 5 Years Ago"). Getting rid of that hotline is probably the worse thing they could have done. The proper thing to have done would be to inteligently think out before hand what they put on there, not get rid of it all together. If they did that from the begining, they would not be in this mess. What happens when no sound bites appear on that hotline after a day? a week? a month? PPS down the toilet. Everyone might think getting rid of it is the best thing to do, but if they had any decent business sense, they would utilize that asset properly, not abandon it when it is needed most.
P.S. Go over to the MLON thread and see where all the old "QBID'ers" are putting their money. Many believe it is the next gem.

I'm not letting go of QBID on the off chance they start liningup carriers.
But as far as MLON is concerned,,, I'm there!

I have constantly mentioned the "Quiet" period of back in the past -- Very Scary! posts, news, letter, everything appeared to just calm down and stop alltogether..
I hate that silence and dont want it back! Thats why I'll always post, just to keep the sanity in me.

GOOD MORNING ALL,
SURE IS HARD TO FIND A GOOD BARGAIN THESE DAYS. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT DD FOLKS AND OPINIONS.
I AM STILL HERE LURKING. STILL LOVE MY QBID. JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD BE MAKING MONEY DAY TRADING QBID RIGHT NOW. NOT ENOUGH SWING!! IMHO THE LAST RUN TO .0088. THAT WAS THE LAST DECENT DAY TO DAYTRADE IMHO. I KNOW THERE WILL BE OTHERS AS THIS STOCK WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. I BOUGHT THE TICKET AND I AM STILL LIKING THE RIDE.
HOPE WE ALL HAVE GREAT TRADING DAYS. REMEMBER THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH. HISTORICALLY NOT A GOOD WEEK TO TRADE. THE MARKET IS DOWN. GREENSPAN SPOKE HIS USUAL NEGATIVE TRUTH ABOUT OUR (USA) DEFICIT AND FINANCIAL TURMOIL. YADA YADA
KEEP IT ALL IN PROSPECTIVE AND HUNT FOR THE BARGAINS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

I HAVE BEEN WATCH GXXL--DIDN'T BUY ANY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REPOSITION SHARES AND SELL LONG HOLDS IN SMALL AND MID CAP RANGE.
AT LEAST TILL THE MARKET STABLALIZES SOMEWHAT. IMHO AFTER THE ELECTION.
DID NOT DO ANY RESEARCH ON GXXL. LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH--I DO LITTLE TRADING. FORWARD SPLITS ARE USUALLY FAVORABLE. IF I DO GET INVOLVED IN FORWARD SPLIT--I USUALLY UNLOAD PRETTY FAST. THEY USUALLY TAKE A JUMP THEN A DIVE. JMHO.
THANKS SUNNY.. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

The programming sounds really good. Just would have liked Q to release that info with an excellent pr. Maybe Deveney should do what they are being paid to do....
MW--I thought the same thing about Frank's age. That man could fall over with all of the stress! Hope he's drinking his orange juice, taking an aspirin a day with his multi vitamin!!!
P.S - an aspirin a day will damage your liver. Multivitamins should be taken in liquid or powder form for maximum absorbtion. No more replies. Wrong board for it. qbiddollar@yahoo.com

Exactly. Like I said:
#1. See how she explained the programming on the hotline?? WHY CANT SHE KEEP DOING THAT ON THE HOTLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
#2. See how she explained the programming on the hotline?? WHY CAN'T THEY DO THAT IN A PR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#3. How could they make the decision to cut it off 3 hours after their last message? Helllooooo people on the west coast are probably still working and didn't even get a chance to vote. Do they think everyone heard it?
#4. Frank was sending letters to shareholders in 2002 while price was dropping and he stopped doing so. PPS fell to .0001. I better hear sound bites!
#5. How did they view all the responses like she said when she still has the 300 emails that came in from beforehand????
#6. How do they expect to add information about programming on their website if they can't even put the latest news on the right page!!!!

The new financing will not hurt the shareholders. It is for the network,
which should help the shareholders. I don't know anything about Frank's
shares. I think there will be a buyback once some revenue is coming in,
but that is up to Frank and the Board Directors as to when. Right now we
are all working hard to get the network ready.
Everything is a go for the NY office. Scott has asked that all investors stop calling including myself so that he can work. He gets about two hours of calls from investors when he can be using that time getting new ADV.

Frank and his dish got a contract with RCN.
I just heard that the meeting with American Express went well. No news yet, but looks as if they will sign.
I hope to have more info on adv tonight.
The O/S is 9 billion. Qbid is not selling any shares. This funding is in addition to the private funding that would put in place over the last few months. Some of the carriers want a larger safety net.

He comes by every once in a while, and will post crap about our stock... He has been doing this since AFTER the run up, which elads me to believe he wants more/cheaper shares.... he was NO WHERE to be found at below .01 or so in the early stage of events...

You guys might not want to hear this but it should be said.
Q Telelvision has lost a carrier to LOGO. I wouldn't think much of it because they have others in the works and I dought they would tell you anything like that but one of the negotiations they had with a specific cable company from back in June has decided to not carry Q Television.
More then 6 meetings are arranged for next week, all with different people from different industries.

John a/k/a JBCak47 a/k/a $$$qbid$$$,
People post things up here in order to either to give information about a stock or to give their opinion on the information. In your case, you post to let everyone know about the anger you have inside from being raised without love. At any rate, my reason for posting has always been to give people reason to believe that, while the stock was at one point up to .018 or so, QBID is an extremely risky investment b/c of the many signs of incompetency (e.g., not being able to run on schedule), fluffed up p.r.'s and announcements (e.g., "New Orleans convention was a smashing success"), among other reasons.
You say I made stupid and outlandish posts but if you listened to me, you would've made your money at .018 or so ... of course, if an investor listened to you, he or she is currently very upset b/c QBID has been going down and down and down. Even a second grader should see that my advice was, and continues to be, much better than yours (Yours being "buy buy buy cuz I love QBID and anyone who points out anyone wrong about QBID should be burned in hell ...")

Lol ... thanks for the laugh. You think Nostradamus is a great prophet? I just used that name as a joke. What has he correctly predicted? I bet you save your fortune cookies and post your horoscopes on your forehead.
At any rate, you're just replying w/o having read my post ... that's very much the way you talk about QBID ... w/o any basis.
Uhh... by the way, it's "Shame on you" not "ashame on you."
WHY YOU SHOULDNT TRUST ANYTHING NOSTRADAMOUS SAYS TO YOU:
Read his quote taken from his post, if this doesn't scream shadyness and just plain stupid crap!:
"You say I made stupid and outlandish posts but if you listened to me"
If I listened to you what...? Why on PHUCKING Earths name would I listen to YOU on some stock forum... I listen to myself... In fact I am still up money with Qbid so I consider it still a great investment for myself.
WHY WOULD I LISTEN TO A STRANGER? I may have been raised with out love, this is true, but my Mom always told me never to listen/talk to strangers...
I may not have gotten the love I 'needed',lol, but I sure got good advice. Hence WHY I didn't listen to you...
Trying to SAVE US NOSTRADOMUS, FROM OURSELVES?!?!? Look into your flame some more, we can only PRAY you go blind...

And you still are the idiot... I could be found dead, naked with a bottle of Jergens up my butt and a wild goat running around my dead body and I still would look like less of an idiot then YOU!

I don't respect anyone that goes onto a thread and just says stupid crap like 'You all should have listen to me'

Yeah, again, you are an attorney...
Just like I am a 215 pound rock hard body builder who moon lights as an exotic male dancer on the weekends...
In either scenario both of us have GROSSLY lied...

Johnny boy,
It's really not a big deal to be an attorney. You just go to school for three years and then take the bar. On the other hand, you seemed to have shared with us your fantasy of having a 215 rock hard body and dancing in front of other men and women. At the least, it is a weird analogy to just point out that I may not be a lawyer. I would've said something simple like, "I'm the president of the United States" or "I'm superman."
When someone posts:
"Take it outside,"
it means please move your argument to the thread called "THE BACK ALLEY"
Please honor this request.
Thank you.

What more would one expect from someone who is "ALWAYS happy and optimistic" and also uses the excuse that somebody else posted it first? In addition, what could be expected from a person who thinks that heart attacks are funny?
I did not attack you. I did address your repeated statements about needing candy and your chatter concerning your children. Neither did I use the term "crazy". However, I do conduct sessions for individuals who need assistance in addressing personal problems. Venting can be a good thing. Taking deep breaths is good too.
I sincerely (not being sarcastic) hope that you have a good day. This is suppose to be a message board concerning FACTS about QBID. Let's work together to keep it that way. I've got to go to work.
Again, have a good day, Sunny.
10 REASONS WHY TO INVEST IN QBID
1. The Q-Television Network will be using NTI as their Satellite Uplink/DownLink feed.
2. The Q-Television Network is using deveney Communications as their Press Release firm. Deveney uses their existing client base to form other client relatioships in order to fullfill all the needs of the clients. Direct TV is a client of Deveney as well as The Mayor of New Orleans who used Deveny is his election campaign. He was also an executive at Cox Cable in New Orleans.
3. The Q-Television Network has announced a share buy back until October 2004.
4. The Q-Television Network has agreed to a no REVERSE SPLIT.
5. The Q-Television Network has secured private funding for at least 1 year and in soem cases for at least three to five years of operation.
6. The Q-Television Network attened the Cable Association Convention in Early May in New Orleans, exposing 'The Q-Television Network' to the industry.
7. The Q-Television Network was boradcasted in two different market places on two different providers on May 15th, durring a test signal broadcast in which orginal programming in a five hour long block was broadcasted to:
A. West Coast- ComCast Cable of Washington State/Seattle
B. Gulf Coast-Cox Cable of New Orleans
8. We have a contract with Time Warner that will bring our signal to any of Time Warner's affliate stations.
9. We have a SIGNED Carrier with the 11th Largest of 25 Cable Carriers, RCN Cable to broadcast in the following Gay Markets:
1. San Fransico
2. Boston
3. Philidelphia
4. Chicago
5. Parts of New York State
6. Wshington D.C.
We will be broadcasting to thise markets in September 2004.
In Feb of 2004 the price of QBID was at .0001 per share. It reached a high of 27,100% still up over 5000% since the low of Feb. 2004!!!
10. We have film crews in Major cities, shooting documentary and news footage to be used in the production of films, movies and orginal programming.
THAT IS MY BASIS NOSTRADOMUS!
You are still an idiot if after reading those 10 points and not seeing the potential of this comapny...
-John-
Won't respond again to you. Don't like you or your "holier than thou" approach to people. Please leave me alone. Would really appreciate it.
Still believe our QBID has great potential, which is why I hang around... love the info and people here.
Thank you for your comments.
Winsum, you are right...
WHOA! I never said I would dance around Men! You added that Nostradomus!
"other men and women" I just said I was an exotic dancer, you filled in the blanks witht he 'MEN' part...
What is on your mind Nostra?
I know it isn;t difficult being an attorney. I knew/Know many... I go to a pretty Law connected school. But again, I think you are a super fraud...
Again you are an idiot basher. I am up money, you arent... too bad whawwwww!
No one saw or heard of you until AFTER the run up with Qbid...
-John-
GO Q!
"Men on Men" would be referred to as "MOM"?
ewwww.

#1 .normal girl 'friend': Hey those pants look good on you.
#2 Moslen girl 'FRIEND': You know where those pants would look good on you? Rolled up in a ball on my floor....
Moslen Beer suposedly helps us guys to attact the #2 girls...
Now after knowing all of these types of girls, wht on earth is a Sequins? Is this some sort of girl code, that I needed to have been a Brownie and or Girl Scott to understand?lol?
As far as what I would were???
Glittery thong, with TWO BIG PURPLE 'Q's on each Butt cheek (1 per cheek)...
However it would be very much a britney spears type profromance where I just rip my normal clothes off and revel the hidden Q-man in each of us...lol...

What we saw was programming and several commercials. This is a list of what we saw below:
Shows:
Larry Sanders Show
King of Queens
Walker Texas Ranger
Commercials:
Wendy's
Burger King
Verizon Wireless
Expedia.com
Kia
Lipitor
Advil
Geico
T-Mobile
Capital One
Gillette PowerGel
Prilosec
Centrum
PeoplePC
Preparation H
Shout
Suvaril (metabolism pill)
Motel6
I don't see any more that because I had to head home. I did notice a symbol of some sorts at the bottom right corner that could have been a "Q", but it disappeared before I could get up to the tv. When it first appeared a "ding" rang out simultaneously with the symbol. But when I move a little closer it vanished.
If QTV had that many sponsors, I'm sure they'd issue a PR.

JUST LIKE YOU POSTED CONCRETE FACTS ABOUR RCN YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO WITH THE PREVIOUS PR ABOUT 5-YEAR CASH INJECTION AS WELL AS THIS PR WITHOUT SPECIFIC DETAILED INFORMATION.
IN ANOTHER WORDS: IT'S A LIE. YOU DON'T HAVE 5-YEAR FINANCING TO ASSURE THE NEXT 5-YEARS GO SMOOTHLY AND YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT YOU RELEASED HERE REGARDING SOME 1-YEAR DEAL. ANOTHER ISSUE YOU USE IS THE TERM LOAN: WELL WITH YOUR HISTORY, NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS GOING TO TOUCH YOUR BUSINESS ON A LOAN BASIS. CASH INJECTION, VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS; YES BUT A LOAN, NO WAY. VENTURE CAPITAL IS A STRETCH AT THIS POINT.
ANOTHER THING. THERE ARE NO MAJOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT FIRMS THEY ARE VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS AND WHEN YOU GET SOME FROM THEM, THEY ARE USUALLY 51% OR GREATER SHAREHOLDERS IN THE COMPANY.
AND TO PROVE MY POINT ONCE AGAIN, YOUR STOCK IS .0046 NOW FRANK OLSEN. RE-READ THAT AGAIN CLOSELY: IT'S FREAKIN .0046! ALL THIS "GREAT" (TOTALLY CRAP) PR YOU HAVE LISTED, YOU HAVE 1, JUST ONE OF HOW MANY THAT HAS CONCRETE INFORMATION IN IT AND THAT IS RCN BUT WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH RCN'S BACKGROUND PENDING IN BANKRUPTCY.
THANK GOODNESS YOU HAVE 10 PEOPLE ON A MESSAGE BOARD THAT CAN CONTINUE TO SING AND DANCE ABOUT HOW GREAT QBID IS AND SING ABOUT HOW U4TSAF2 DOES NOTHING BUT RANT AND RAVE AND DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT HE'S TALKIN ABOUT.

I think people have a right to worry. This companys history bears that worry on it shoulder. I love swing trading this stock and have made good money on it but all you have to do is look at the past lies to say there is something wrong with this picture. Also if you go back to the older threads to see the lies also. From what was suppose to happen this should be on the air now. If you look back a couple years you will see the exact same pattern of were going live now, no now, sorry later, oops later.
The only reason I say this is new members see this too and should see the facts. Read this thread to see that pattern if you don't believe me.

MCI didn't go off the hook...
U4 it is a start in the right direction. Why do you have to blast them. It is a carrier. So it has some problems, but it is a start and once someone has something that maybe in demand, others will carry it so as not to miss out.
We were on air on Comcast as well as Cox cable...
Give it a chance, perhaps they will sign on or may have already but are requesting QTv withold from releasing that data.
There have been PR's along the way that may not have had concrete information but they have kept many people informed and, overall helped give us a general outline/map of where the company has been heading.
We have learned about how the company:
Hired film crews, produced one finished documentery with another on the way, making and purchasing videos to add to the ever growing video collection for the Q-Television network. They have expanded offices and have hired some additional people which would indicate some increase in office activities.
They have spoken about possible Mobile Units which would indicate they would be able, providing they have this service, to broadcast live or tape,edit then broadcast from site, anywhere, they come equiped with Satellite Uplink equipment.
They have told us they have secured funds for operations past one year. This is good. Why would we want to tell EVERYTHING and show our cards to Viacomm/everyone else?
We are moving along, we have a CONFIRMED carrier that will bring our signal to :
*!*!*!SAN FRANSISCO*!*!*!*: HUGE GAY MARKET, RICH GAY MARKET Hmmmmm america's 'gay spot'... THIS IS FREAKING HUGE U4?!?! DONT YOU SEE, THEY PUT US IN THE NEST!!!!
***BOSTON****: HUGE GAY MARKET, RICH GAY MARKET
Philildephia-Large Gay Market
Parts of NY: Maybe not large market but it covers us into new areas, it is a start!
Chicago- Another large gay metro area! Works for me!
Washington DC- Hey, I am sure there is a large gay community that wants quality, decent programming.
ALSO RCN
Serves Los Angeles as well!!!! Perhaps we will get L.A. after we test in these markets!!!
GUYS WE ARE RIGHT ON TRACK!
WHO CARES IF THE PPS IS LOW, THEY ARE STILL DOING A BUY BACK!
If they bought 5k dollars today of stock, they bought back 1 million shares!!!
Even if they only are doing 500 dollars a week, we still MAY HAVE bought back 100k shares... drops in the bucket add up to ounces then liters than gallons!!!
And what is the worst, you have the option of buying some extra shares, cheap!
-John-
Qbid is right on track!
LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME! WE WERE BROADCAST IN TWO MARKETS, AND NOW WE ARE PICKED UP IN 5 LARGE GAY MARKETS!
Remember we don't need to be EVERYWHERE, Just where the large Gay markets are...
Bumblefig, Nb doesn't need to carry Qtv But if we are on a satellite system liek Direct Tv, which I must add is a client of DEVENEY!, than we will be 'available' in Nebraska by way of satellite!
Now we need to work on getting a satellite provider, if we haven't gotten one already!
-John-
THEY WILL LAUNCH IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes there is but they have been delaying since 2000. They have pulled this before. I just don't get how you can think someone that pulled the wool over there stockholders eyes once want do it again. I am not saying they won't go live. They may and hopefully so but from there past it looks like another scam.
Just remember always, buy on rumors and sell on news and you will make money on this stock.
So as I see it buy this stock when its down and sell it on news.

good evening everyone. I see it has not been a good day for Q but I have still not lost faith maybe I am wrong maybe I am right I could post all the reasons I think Q has great potential and would be a worthy long term investment but each and every reason is already on this thread and has been posted more than once already. as to the people on this thread that think Q is not gonna make it or is not a good long well I have to respect their comments also some of them have some legitimate concerns although I may not agree with them but that is how intelligent descisions are formed listening to both sides of an argument and then deciding for yourself. I enjoy reading this board alot and I have been reading religously for quite some time it gets rough at times but there are alot of good people posting here and yes a few jerks too but there will always be jerks everywhere. alot of good DD comes from some of the people on this board makes it easier for me to check out when I get home when I already have the links or phone numbers and I appreciate this. BigTip some nice posts today as usual ty. now MHO yes the stock looks as though its gonna trade lower over the next week or so unfortunately but I will hopefully be able to scrape up some more cash if it continues at these levels. I think once the launch with rcn this sept happens the pps will rise probably not a huge rise but a descent one then either other carriers and mostly a revenue report showing cash income generated from subscribers should really help things out. JMHO no one should trade stocks on this advice always do your own DD and or consult with a professional first. night all and keep up the good work and maybe this weekend when I get some time off work someone will meet me outside for a good old fashioned brawl just for ****s and giggles ROFLMFAO just kidding lol
P.S. yes this board is addictive lol

Id like to have a freaking frenzy also and buy some more but in my opinion doesnt look like its formed a bottom yet I plan to wait and see how low this thing is gonna drop so I can buy at best possible price. still in with 400k long($2735 including brokers fees) Id like to see it level off and make higher lows for at least 2 if not 3 days before I take another position.

yes it is a paid service and therefore one should always be leary of paid advertising but it makes Me think Q is shelling out a few bucks for some attention plus sometimes can help to add for a pop which could be good for daytraders JMHO though and if nothing else it gets Q mentioned and others will look at it maybe, attention is always good well, almost always and Q can use all the help it can get right now

lol. hmm wonder when we will get to vegas maybe next spring hopefully I am hoping for a bit of a rise in sept and more come their first pr about revenue in a few months(crossed fingers) I have given My wife a list of sell points for My stock starting at .05 and moving upwards but holding the bulk of it after .75(if it reaches that point) and I am holding long short is 8 months or less to Me long is 8 months to 3 years. daytrading I consider buying and selling stock in the same day I usually am willing to hold My swing trades up to 8 months and I think I am willing to hold qbid up to 3 years (unless some really bad news comes out) I have great hopes for the Q hope to see you and all the others in vegas soon sunny

well there are alot of possible reasons but I think mistrust is one, and also I think the short term swing traders are getting scared and bailing and some of the long term traders also and I do think naked short selling may be happening here. these are JMHO and I am really going to bed this time lol well its not My fault I am addicted to this board and qbid lol

.47 ??? A company to see a share price of .47 needs to have revenues and be a reporting company IMO. Trust me, we should be happy to see .05 anytime soon let alone .47 or higher! That will come when Q Television is looked at as a "Network" or a "secured company". They are just ideas right now.
To my knowledge they still haven't registered their business or reported anything to the SEC. They are on pinks so they dont need to, BUT HELLO - They are a business and don't you think they need to register, report, or file anything?
Hmmmm.
Despite two previous good ( in my honest opinion) press releases it seems like Q cannot overhelm down trend. We are riding down the slope for quite considerable amount of time.
i do expect in the near future
--- programming details ( as stated in recent hotline message ) why they cannot release it to the press???
--- september- official pr that Q product is on the market and available for rcn customers
--- september--- confirmation info on the rcn website with new Q channel details
--- more carriers ( remember hotline message quoting that rcn is the beggining to nationwide coverage)
above keeps my strong faith in this stock.

You never cease to amaze me. Your D&D makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if you're right on the money.
It's usually pretty late when I get off work & can barely post when I'm at work. About what you wrote, I still would be careful how much I would invest on this persons input.
I read another post by you yesterday & we may be on the same page where OTHER stratigies are concerned as well. Feel free to E-mail me at freeman17strong@yahoo.com

Is Frank's making, specifically due to the HOT-LINE. Early this week he (as usual enthusiastically) had a message there that said 'Look forward to Programming and Advertizing information later this week'. A little while later he had that changed to say 'we'll have an update soon'. This says two things:
1. Frank is unsure of what is going on in the company.
2. He has foot-in-the-mouth disease -- this is fatal to the Co.
He should never even had to seek shareholder opinion about whether or not to close the hotline. It must've been obvious to him. Obviously, he's never ever invested in the stock market as we all have, so he might not know how to run a public company.
This attitude reveals what perhaps went wrong last time -- years ago when this failed. It also draws attention to the possibility of it failing this time around. Add to this, the week came and went and there was neither advertizing/programming information releases; there is also no confidence that there will be any carriage contract announcement next week if one went by Frank's word and hope. In the meantime the PRs continue to be incomplete somehow, as one reads them they seem to hang up suddenly.
He needs to do more to get the pps higher. Daytraders have nothing to do with the fall. Because the fall has been steady and continuous. Obviously more and more investors are leaving this. Franks needs to hire a management professional to run this outfil. Under hime this will be no better than your family-run local Chinese take-out joint! Given these factors naked shorters feel emboldened that Franks can't get hsi act together to fight them, even if he has to.
A good start is gradually being bungled. If there is no news next week, I see this falling to the .003s by Friday next.
You got mail!

I agree .05 is about all that may happen anytime soon maybe next year with the first couple quarterly earning reports being decent and/or improving then maybe will be time for another jump and reporting to the sec would be a huge step in reassuring the investors everything is on the up and up. also landing another carrier would help greatly. as for reporting to the sec I dont think they will even consider that until they actually broadcast and generate some revenue but then yes I would expect them to start reporting.just my 2 cents worth probably overpriced at that lmao
Thanks anonymouslurker for the links. They are a great reminder of the progess we have made since February. Years ago, I had some involvement with a television program. The work in developing just one program is enormous. The logistics of an entire network is mindboggling. I think that we are at the right place and at the right time. We will be the one by which all others are judged. It has said that "Nothing Good Comes Easy". I've experienced a lot of truth in that saying.
OK look at the demograghics..
Being more positive,,this writer is enthusiastic about the proposition of GLBT broadcasting.
These publications are read!!!

From another board
To BUY,SELL or HOLD...
Thread started on: 07/29/2004 at 22:53:09
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lets start with the one that most are talking about, to sell.
OK first thing you need to do is step out of the box and get a close look. So your pissed like everyone else about the STOCK PRICE. Heck Q is pissed at the stock price or they would not be asking investors to help out..
Now you need to ask yourself do I sell QBID because I'm pissed at the stock or the company..If you chose to sell because your mad at the stock price I think you are being very close minded..
Q is about to go public Sept. 1 Yes folks thats 1 month away. They have announced Their 1st contract with RCN and have recieved more funding but, the price keeps dropping..
Why is that. For those that have L2 have you seen the last two days that Nite and the other who are always selling are all sitting at .007 range (ASK). But, they have been busy buying every share they can at these low prices..
So before you sell you need to look at the PPS then step back and Just look at Q AND where Q will be in the next month. Last time Q aired in 2001 at the PPS was between .40 - .56 for several days before dish pulled out and sept 11 happened..
So do you sell because you are pissed at the PPS or the company that is your choice...
Now to Buy...
That also is up to you..I have been adding each pay check. I look at what Q has done since Jan/04 and then I look at the PPS..
I think the stock is being shorted by the MM's and I think all the investors who have been flipping this stock has killed the PPS. Not saying that if you have flipped it is a bad thing and you may even be playing with free shares thats great but, That has hurt the stock price also..
TO hold..THAT IS YOUR CHOICE ALSO..Look at THE GOOD, (Q) THE BAD (PPS) AND THE EVIL (BASHERS).
My thought on what is happening..
MM's are loading thier pockets for they have been doing their home work and know that investor are pissed at the PPS and that is why they trade back and forth to make people mad at the lowering of the PPS so they sell. People trade on emotion. Read several post on this Board and others. People are saying " I'm going to sell 1st thing in the morning". That is what I have been reading. That is also what the MM's have been reading. So they are going to sell because of the PPS But, not because of Q..That makes no sense to me. Does it to you.
MM's know that Q is going to air Sept 1 and they know the price was at .40...Yes I know the 1st time Q aired it had half the O/S. BUT the MM's know this if Q runs to .20 after the Launch look at the money they will make from the cheap shares they have been buying for the last 2 months..
Ask yourself why we have 30 MM's trading Q stock..If Q had no chance of making the MM's a boat load of money they would not be here loading ther pockets for the next run folks..
Don't be fooled by this GAME FOLKS AND YES IT IS A GAME AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT IT..
So to BUY, SELL OR HOLD..
I'm Holding and buying all the cheap shares I can each payday...
Patience folks for those that dont have it will be wishing they did very soon..
I think August is going to be a very good month but not compared to Sept...
A price channel is a continuation pattern that slopes up or down and is bound by an upper and lower trendline. The upper trendline marks resistance and the lower trendline marks support. Price channels with negative slopes (down) are considered bearish and those with positive slopes (up) bullish. For explanatory purposes, a "bullish price channel" will refer to a channel with positive slope and a "bearish price channel" to a channel with negative slope.

I enjoyed it I miss it but there are too many new investors out there that are prone to panic after listening to a negative post from someone they do not know personally but maybe they know from online. there are thousands of new investors out there that take everything they read whether its (true or not)to heart just cause they read it on one of the major boards. I dont know i guess I am done ranting but I am frustrated and dissappointed in the bahavior of some people. name calling and bashing and disrespect does not do anyone any good. I apologize sincerely to anyone I have offended just expressing My free speech rights that I have been given in this great country.

I'm sorry if you want to do some DD you can figure out I am no MM. Been on this board for a long time and with this stock for a long time. I have done my DD thats why I said that. Also you can do a search and see I was very possitive on this stock until it started pulling the 2000-2001 stunts again.

I will still play this stock and hope for the best for everyone and really would like to see this company to make it. Just would like them to shut up. If they don't know something for a fact then don't release it or post it on the hotline.

[b]programming in lineso why we han on 0047
instaed of .47
nota daytraders effect
Is Frank's making, specifically due to the HOT-LINE. Early this week he (as usual enthusiastically) had a message there that said 'Look forward to Programming and Advertizing information later this week'. A little while later he had that changed to say 'we'll have an update soon'. This says two things:
1. Frank is unsure of what is going on in the company.
2. He has foot-in-the-mouth disease -- this is fatal to the Co.
He should never even had to seek shareholder opinion about whether or not to close the hotline. It must've been obvious to him. Obviously, he's never ever invested in the stock market as we all have, so he might not know how to run a public company.
This attitude reveals what perhaps went wrong last time -- years ago when this failed. It also draws attention to the possibility of it failing this time around. Add to this, the week came and went and there was neither advertizing/programming information releases; there is also no confidence that there will be any carriage contract announcement next week if one went by Frank's word and hope. In the meantime the PRs continue to be incomplete somehow, as one reads them they seem to hang up suddenly.
He needs to do more to get the pps higher. Daytraders have nothing to do with the fall. Because the fall has been steady and continuous. Obviously more and more investors are leaving this. Franks needs to hire a management professional to run this outfil. Under hime this will be no better than your family-run local Chinese take-out joint! Given these factors naked shorters feel emboldened that Franks can't get hsi act together to fight them, even if he has to.
A good start is gradually being bungled. If there is no news next week, I see this falling to the .003s by Friday next.

As far as a confirmed carrier 3 years ago. No. As far as I read, they never launched on cable. Only a soft launch on satelite which is when they were at 40 cents! Thats why its fustrating now.
As far as a local chinese take out running it better then Q Telelvision. Your absolutely right. At least they place their ads on cars. Anyone that owns a business including myself, know they are doing an absolute crappy job of starting it. I mean the first thing you do is register your business.
You figure they would know this after all these years, especially if they are in contact with other businesses!
Its a startup, it takes time, its a process, and it takes small steps.

I mentioned yesterday that I had called and emailed RCN's IR department...Time Downing (RCN's IR Dept) (609) 734-3718 just called me back.
He stated that RCN signed an aggreement with QTV to broadcast their channel. The PR that was released by QTV was a joint PR and that they will not be issuing a seperate PR. However...they will release a PR within two weeks to notify the public of QTVs channel spot. They will begin a pre luanch prior to that release. Within the next two weeks RCN will begin an advertising campaigne to their customers via direct mailers, email and telemarketing.
Downing said that QTV will be a PPV channel and will likely take one of the channels listed on their channel line up under PPV. The channel will cost $7.95 per month.
He siad that the deal with QTV is revenue shared, but would not go into details of the contract as it is confidential.
He siad that as of their last report...they have 436K customers which are largely focused in the Chicago, NY, and Wash. DC market. LA and SF are emerging markets.
Thats all I have...as always...you can call Downing and verify this info yourselves...he was very opened and said he would welcome a call back if I had anymore questions.
So...within the next week we should begin to see an ad campaigne from QTV and RCN to bring on subscribers.
I just called RCN and had a long discussion with the their commercial Dept. Well, they WILL be carrying Q Television Network as a premium channel. They haven't rolled out whether it will be broadcast as a subscriber (like Starz or HBO) or bundled together with their programming.
The one thing the guy said was they were were getting loads and loads of phone calls about it all day every day. But he said calls from everywhere. He said many of the places weren't even areas that RCN services, but he said it is just a matter of time before other carriers and charters pick them up. He said they were gathering the program line-up and should be no problem to roll out Sept. 1 as a premium station. I had my doubts, but not anymore folks. This guy said they have never gotten more calls for anything. Maybe it's all Q investors, but it still get the word out there. So call RCN and all your cable carriers and tell them to get Q television, RCN has them so should they. Good luck to all longs

A Word to the wise....
First let me say although I monitor this and other relevant boards, this is the first time I have posted with regard to this issue. The garbage spewed here is purely entertainment in my quest for information. My brother and I have owned this stock for nearly 9 months. We own over 35 million shares and continue to purchase on dips. Let me explain something to you lazy bozo's who rely on information delivered to you by message board hacks. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out persons writing negative posts pertaining to a .0082 stock are working for hire. Why bash a stock selling for less than a penny? What gain is there? Second, this Higgins story is trash. Read between the lines folks. Third. A little secret. We live less than 300 miles from Palm Springs. We have been there many, many times. My brother and I have spent the better part of 9 months "digging" for information, if you get my drift. Let me just say, Frank Olsen has been honest, forthright and compellingly passionate in pursuit of his dream and progress which he has passed on to shareholders. I cannot reveal anything, only to say based on our research, exciting things are developing in Palm Springs. Suggestion: get off your asses and do your own DD. I will not post again or respond to any responses.

Darnitall. How many times do I or someone else have to point this out to you? When the stock hit 40 cents, the O/S was something like 50M... today we're looking at somewhere around 9B. When it hit .027 a few months ago, the company's market cap was about 12 times HIGHER than it was 3 years ago when it hit .40.... I know this has been pointed out at least a hundred times in the last 6 months, and you've been around to see it. Why are you incapable of understanding this?

Your 2 cents is going to make your richer! I agree, Frank is to be commended for his work. Anytime a person steps out from the crowd, the crowd starts the ". . .yes he did accomplish that, but what about. .".
There are so many factors that can easy block any new network. An example would be major players wanting to corner the market. QTN has those roadblocks in addition to polictical issues.
Bill you are100% correct that QBID needs to wade into the water rather than going the diving board route.

we are americans we will bounce back if anything bad happens again hopefully since they know the targets the attackers will either stop and change plans or we will have so many feds around there that an ant could not get near the place without identification. either way doesnt matter much as for the stock market. it would be tragic for another evil event like 9-11 to occur but hey we have been thru alot worse than this before and we came out on top and we always will.

Sunny I know you posted already, but I just wanted to chime in: This is great news and means all other major media will probably getting this promo material too. Entertainment reporters are lazy: they ONLY write stories that are spoon fed to them by such materials, so the media blitz we've been waiting for could be jump started by this sort of material.
good morning!
Go Q!!
Our clients benefit from nearly $15 million in targeted media coverage annually. Targeted means that the coverage communicates the right messages and positions our clients to achieve their business objectives—and that the message is in the business, trade, national and local media outlets most beneficial to them.
I think that's a VERY high projection. My guess is more like 3 to 4 million.

I have emailed Kendra Van Nostran at Deveney twice in the last month and she hasn't responded. I find that odd. I have emailed her twice in the past and she responded both times within 24 hours. Something's up but I can't put my finger on it. Any thoughts?

JMHO, but if I was working as Q's PR firm, I would be frustrated with how they operate. They hire a PR firm to issue PR's and handle publicity, but then sometimes on a whim, Q releases and says their own things like they know better than Devenney on how to generate publicity. If I was Devenney, I would have quite representing Q a while ago. They are hindering Devenneys ability to generate positive results with the half a$$ crap they put out there. This is just my opinion, but I don't think Q and Devenney have, or ever had the relationship we all thought they did.

I ALSO E-MAIL DEVENEY--NO RESPONSE. BEFORE I HAD GOTTEN A RESPONSE. THEY ARE STILL LISTED AS A CLIENT ON DEVENEY CLIENT LIST. I PERSONALLY LIKED THE HOTLINE UPDATES. DEFINITELY CHEAPER WAY TO PUT OUT INFO. I AM SURE PR.'S AT TO EXPENSE ACCOUNT. JMHO

I think taking that hotline away was a huge mistake. With more silence, this thing will only drop. The hotline did not need to be taken away. It was not the hotline that was hurting the PPS, it was the crap that Q put on it. Instead of taking it away, they needed to use it more constructively and just stop putting empty promises on it. I think all those that wanted it gone will be very sorry very soon and wish it was back.

Today, MTV Networks, owned by media giant Viacom, is in a full-tilt sprint to achieve another landmark: the first 24/7 cable television network in the United States targeted at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender viewers. Dubbed Logo, the network says it is developing projects with big names such as Cher and Chastity Bono, Alan Cumming and Margaret Cho. But with a scheduled launch date of October 2005, Logo might just get beaten to the punch.

sunny, what's happening is "nothing" like I said before the only news that could save us is big name advertisers or big name carrier (not in bk. ruptcy) although I think the RCN was agood move it wasn't good for pps. I think we will close down again today, maybe in the .0030's
Thanks again for responding.
Lets hope we can all catch the broadcast this september, and be proud that Frank after all this time finally put it together!!

I JUST CONTACTED THE RCN CABLE REP HERE IN CHICAGO, IL. SHE STATED THE PRESS RELEASE CAME OUT ABOUT A WEEK EARLY AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TRAINED ON THE SIGN UP PROCESS YET. HOWEVER, SHE SAID IT IS AVAILABLE AS OF SEPTEMBER 1ST AND HERE IN CHICAGO THEY HAVE HAD "TREMENDOUS RESPONSE" (HER WORDS). SHE GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT RCN WAS "CAUGHT OFFGUARD" WITH THE KIND OF RESPONSE THEY ARE GETTING. AGAIN, SHE SAID THE PR WAS EARLY BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A GO!! THE NUMBER I CALLED WAS 877-RCN-7000.
Kommoncents--superb news. We need more of THAT kind of news and then some. Can't wait to find out how many subscribers they get as of 9/1... that should be really indicative of how successful QTN will be. Thanks for the information!

I just confirmed that as well. In a way I feel bad for them because they have all us sceptical investors calling them just to confirm. But hey, its our money on the line right?
She said the only info she had was that they will be ready Sept. 1st..
Back in April I remember going from .0041 to .0030 (25%) and then we went to .0055...
ITS A PINK. THERES AWESOME POTENTIAL. And as fast as its going down, it will come back up..especially when they start getting subscribers!!

Any thoughts?
I agree with you pharm, I think this company has lost too much crediblity to just shoot up on anything other than "earth shaking" news. August could be ugly, should give a whole new set of investors time to discover and buy into the Q.
this is one freaky stock. I havent been around much lately. but if this drops much more i may buy another lot of it and hope for a good launch.
As far as im concerned we have not launched yet. I dont care that July 1 was considered a launch, you are not launched untill it can be watched.

First, I have scraped up enough money to buy some more stocks to recover my investment in Q (somewhat) since I got in April and have never made a profit on it. Should I buy more QBID to recover some of my losses or should I buy something else outhere (MLON)?
Second, If I was to buy more QBID, Is .0030 a realistic entry point or do you think I should wait because it may go lower into the .0020's?
Just seeking some opinions, I will of course make my own decision based on my own DD and gut feeling. Thank you all.
QBID Long and Strong!!!

My last purchase was with the RCN PR at .0086.
No one should tell you when to buy or sell. You need to make your own decisions regarding you own DD. If any tells you to buy or sell,,be wary. Opinions what people are doing with their own shares seem to be credible if they seem to have submitted good information. Double check.
Up to you good luck.
just My two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.

I'm putting money together & have abuy order in for MLON! However when we hit .003s today I started thinking of buying more QBID! I'm on hold now & will watch carefully.
There's only one piece of news that would make me feel OK about our current pps! That would be a SEC filing disclosing a massive buyback!
"All we ever had to do is launch!"

I expect just like the hotline stated when they announced RCN that this is just the beginning and after the launch (if not sooner) there will be other carriers. this may be a slow long ride up small steps might take years to get where we want it to be.(being nationwide and just as easy to get as hbo or showtime etc.)I know there are shorts here just wishing for .25 or maybe .50 I personally am going long on this one and hoping for nationwide coverage within 3 years. yes I want it now lol but being a realist I realize it may take 2 or 3 years. I will try to pick up another 150 thousand shares this week at near .003 hopefully. I dont mind the low pps it gives Me the opportunity to pick up more shares cheap and I believe the pps will rise well over the .01 mark in sept. being optimistic. take care and good luck everyone.just My two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.
As far as optimisim goes your's was a very realistic post. I'm holding a nice size position for the long haul but will not buy anymore until I'm sure there's an end to this slide. At that point, yes! I'm buying more.

Yes, it is a downtrend now and we need to level off first, who the hell knows where.
One thing that keeps me floating is looking at the 4 yr chart and seeing the PPS go from .0050 to .03, back all the way down to .016 within 2 months and then quickly back to .04 within 1 month.
I'm hoping to see that build on this grusome looking chart! .03 can easily happen.

Good luck to us all!
Also, we are all still waiting for advertising and programming information which was said to be on its way...I'm still waiting and wondering why this task has become more difficult...I'm not expecting pages and pages of advertisers...just give me a few to go on...a hint of what's to come. Think most investors would agree.
My other issue being pondered is this: It must be horrible for Frank to see his pps freefalling from .015 to .0035. If he had the "goods" at this point, don't you think he would intervene...provide more detailed info about a few advertisers, programming or carriers. Again, I'm not asking for the moon, just some realistic and believable info...don't want QTN to jeoperdize itself by providing "all" the details, but enough so we investors have a good feel for what's going on or about to occur. I don't think that's too much to ask, especially when looking at the history and the current pps.
I'm still holding strong. Like MW, I'm not expecting to get rich overnight...think this might take a little while and I'm willing to hold long...think the end reward could be huge. But I do believe our Q needs to become more refined and professional in its dissemination of info.
Say you own 1 mil shares
When it goes up to .03 you will have $30,000
If it had popped a bit today we would all be excited about the rising PPS but you would still be at 1 mil shares and $30,000 come Sept
But now you can buy more at .004 or even possibly less.
It's like doubling down on blackjack
If youre dealt 11, you take advantage of it and double your bet and get a bigger payout.
This is advantageous for us since we are all waiting for that BIG spike anyway at the launch.
Enjoy the ride and be patient...Sept is less than a month from now.
Oh, if the launch isnt successful come Sept....forget everything I just said.
GO QBID!
I plan on making 100% on my investment very soon.

Guys look what I had emailed to me. GREAT NEWS--->
The Q Television Network Business Model
Replicate proven models of success with niche audience
Advertising Revenue
- Advertising model similar to PBS, with short-spot channel sponsorship ads and show-specific sponsorships
- Founding Sponsors - 50 Q Television Network Sponsorships currently at $200-$500K per year.
- Sponsors targeted through analysis of advertising and charitable spending in gay and lesbian market/causes
- Positioned and purchased as image advertising and channel community sponsorship
- We can increase advertising revenue through rate increase as our audience grows.
- Showcase Sponsors - supply exceeds 700 at $2,167 per spot
- Allows advertisers opportunity to promote a specific show with affinity relationship with their product.
In addition to traditional advertising, companies can also pay for the development of affinity programming. This serves as an offset to production/program acquisition costs as opposed to revenue. Reebok may be interested in funding a fitness show or Mitchell Gold presents a home decorating show. Show-sponsorship offers advertisers the opportunity to promote a specific show that has an affinity relationship with their products. We will focus part of the ad sales team on such initiatives together with the business development responsibilities of senior management.
- We can increase both number of spots and rates based on experience and research.
- Substantial advertising revenue has been pre-committed.
Other Revenue Streams
- Although not initial focus of our plan, ancillary stream may include advertising revenues from the Q Television Networks website.
I received the information in hard copy form, so the above was transcribed word for word. I'm not sure if the references to Reebok or Mitchell Gold are just examples or current sponsors...but it definitely raised an eyebrow. Also, did you catch the part about ... "Substantial advertising revenue has been pre-committed”?? If I find out anything else...I will surely pass it on. Again...if you wish to just share this with friends...have at it. If you would like to share this on RB please leave my information out of it.

That & the fact that Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for under $1 a share.
Things may not look all that great now but if just one or two things fall in place we will never see the underside of a penny again.

1Big thanks for the post--sounds excellent. As usual you are always on top of things! Just would like to have that information from the Q, the horse's mouth. That is kinda what I'm talking about. The dissimenation of information should be more upfront...you know what I mean...anyway...
Don't think I won't digest that post quickly though... or that I'm ungrateful. Because I am actually very appreciative for that info!!! I'll take what I can get and try to assimilate the information myself. Thanks again...woke up and was really pleased to see it...gives me encouragement and makes me want to buy more! Thanks.
P.S. 1Big totally agree about the 100% gain. I think that one could easily happen!! (Laugh) good luck to all.
Hope today is a great day for everyone. Been off am chocolate for a couple of days...moved the Twix until the afternoon. Don't know how much longer I can go though (laugh)
Read the answers. We're out there.

TA for the day:
OUCH! We got out butts kicked today. There's some longs on this board who fear me for good reason - I tell it like it is. I called days ago that .0038 was the next resistance point, and as soon as we hit it we fell quickly to .0034 and then proceeded to bounce back to the .004 level before retracing at the close and settling back to .0038. Some investors on here can claim over and over that there's no such thing as resistance for pinks, it's beyond me!
It's almost hilarious! I called two key resistance points lately .0045 and .0038 and we've parked at both. This is not magic! It's called resistance and MM's along with smart daytraders watch support and resistnace closely. The MM's didn't park the close @ .0038 for no good reason.
They know exactly what they are doing and they take advantage of ppl who aren't in the know. The same ppl that bash me are the ones that I refer to.
I won't name any names, but most of you know who they are (qtvcomcast...oops). Notice how I never say malicious things towards ppl on any board unless they say negative things about me or my credibility. Questioning someone's credibilty to the board based on TA which I've never claimed to be 100% accurate is slanderous and sellfish.
I've never made comments like "SELL NOW" etc... I simply give my opinion and the ppl who have their life savings invested get all upset. Instead of looking out for the best interest of everyone, they would rather others lose money at there own expense.
A trader with no clue makes comments like..... "Gordon single handedly cause that selloff!" LMAO! That's really funny I will no longer entertain the people on this board who don't know what the deal is or are simply in denial to the truth - because the dreams of riches like Bill Gates has their little ignorant eyes blinded!
Anyway, the chart still looks broken and we are now in desperate need of a correction. We got one positive confirmation on the chart that may be indicating that we're FINALLY turning the corner. The slow stoch looks like it may have hit "bottom" and is crossing back over from oversold.
The most important part of the chart to watch lately is the fact that even with the decline in price the MACD has leveled out and is no longer dropping. I interpret this to mean that ppl are accumulating, but there are enough ppl selling to allow the MM's to slowly walk us down. I'm inclined to think that as soon as that RSI hits bottom tomorrow that we will rebound a little from there, as people will realize that we're way oversold and undervalued. The next level of resistance is .0029 if we have to go that low.
Let's cross our fingers and hope not. I look forward to watching trading tomorrow. See the chart posted below to follow along. After this post I'll put some of the ppl here on ignore so that I don't have to rant on about them. I promise
Good luck to everyone, and I look forward to the action tomorrow.

NYSE's Thain Proposes Plan to Automate More Trading (Update1)
Aug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- New York Stock Exchange Chief Executive John Thain proposed that the exchange allow for more electronic trading, potentially taking business away from the 1,366 traders on the exchange floor.
The extension of the NYSE's ``Direct Plus'' program will allow investors to buy and sell thousands of shares of stock directly over computers, bypassing the market makers that have been at the heart of the exchange since 1792. Investors currently can trade just 1,099 shares directly. Thain presented the plan in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which must approve it.
``If we don't respond to our customer base, they will pull their volume off the exchange,'' Thain said at a press conference.
The plan will allow trades to be automatically executed if they fall within 9 cents of the bid price. Thain said he expects the plan to become a reality within a year.
Thain is trying to ensure that the NYSE continues to benefit directly from trading in its listed companies' shares. At present, the NYSE handles 80 percent of the trades that involve its companies. The SEC is considering new regulations that would let competing markets fill orders involving NYSE companies even if they don't offer the best price.
Many large investors, such as Fidelity Investments Inc. and other mutual fund companies, have demanded that the NYSE offer more automated trading. They say they want to be on par with floor traders who may get better information by being physically present. Market makers, known as specialists, referee trading and buy and sell for their own account.
Preserving Auctions
Since being named NYSE chief executive in December, Thain has spoken about the need to allow more trading to be done electronically, without intermediaries, while preserving the auction system.
``Thain is extremely committed to this hybrid market,'' said Mary McDermott-Holland, senior vice president of Mellon Bank Corp.'s Franklin Portfolio Associates, which manages about $25 billion. ``He's committed to change. Even the people on the floor realize they're going to have to automate more.''

The terrorists' entire purpose in life is to do something else bad, but we are a little more prepared now. Some of the cable companies are really needing new blood in programing--Cox may be bought out. They need us. However, a bigger problem for today is that I just bought more--so look to go down this afternoon--it's Tuesday.

I was emailing sunny while the news came out. This is great. Anyone who got in this low, congrats...you will get paid.
Hang tight- We're moving.
I'm excited.

That was my question. Are they still working with Q or not? I have not e-mailed Devenney lately, but they use to get back to me right away when I did, now others on here are saying that they have not gotten responses from them recently. Q mine as well stop using them and save themselves the money if they are going to go around them and issue their own PR's.

Or did the dumping. Just trying to cover all angles. But it would be a good piece of info to know.
We have a viable product...we know it...now, soon, the viewers will know it!

Thoughts?
IF the date was pushed back then yes, I do agree with you. QTV has but ONLY one chance left in the business world to obtain credibility. After the last failures, I would hope they realize this is it for them. JMO

Why is that L2 a good one if the asks outweigh the bids 3to1? I'm still not too clear on the whole L2 thing. Kinda like a brain block.
Usually when theres more asks, it means theres more buys coming in. So when the Bids fill, they move to the asks, and it seems like we'll hit .0050 soon.
right?

i just sold ALL my Q for a loss. bought in at .0086. out at .0045. i can't take the losing anymore. frank says one thing, such as "i have 5 years funding" then a press release comes out saying they have 1 year funing. it's sh!t like that that's bringing this stock down. many many inconsistencies. i may pick some more up on a dip, but i'm gonna cut my losses while it's up a little. knowing the q, it'll just go back down tomorrow....

Don't listen to half these people on the message board. They want Facts to back my thoughts. lol!!!!
The fact is QBID will Launch Like I said in September and there will be ALOT of people watching this stock waiting to buy it when it hits the air.
The reason alot of people haven't bought QBID is because they are waiting for it to launch. WHEN IT DOES WE WILL MAKE MONEY!!!!!!

RCN has 500,000 subscribers. I'm guessing approximately 1% of them are "gay people". That's 5000. We need more carriers!
Totally agree with the "we need more carriers." Think they will come soon enough, after all, Sarki says soooo...just teasing (laugh)
Once QTN is actually on TV, more people will be aware and the smart ones will ask themselves if they have stock. Then they will see how cheap it is, and we fly to the moon.

Q Television Announces Fall Line-up
Tuesday August 3, 1:30 pm ET
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2004--Q Television Network (OTCPK:QBID) today announced the line-up of shows that are currently in production. Executive Vice President Steve Grunberg stated that the list of programming is indicative of the kind of programming Q Television Network will be showing and that the list is only partial and will be extended as new and fresh programming ideas are worked out.
GAY AND LESBIAN HISTORY WITH MELINDA
This is a show dedicated to the social, political and civil rights of our time from the past to the present. Highlights will include events, parties, parades, politicians, entertainers and human interest stories, including the start of the AIDS crisis in the 80s and much, much more.
WOW! WOMEN ON WOMEN
WOW is a lesbian talk show dedicated to issues covering all women. Guests will include authors, entertainers, politicians and homemakers. Topics covered will include healthcare, child care, the latest fashions, travel tips, lesbian and gay adoption, reproductive rights, politics and issues concerning women all over the world.
QEWS BREAK
This will be a five minute snapshot of issues concerning the gay and lesbian community on a local, state, national and international level. If it's important to you, it will be on Q.
Q ON THE MOVE
This is a show shot entirely on location all over the country covering gay and lesbian events, human interest stories, and fun happenings across the USA. We will tell you where to go, where to stay and what's happening. Your host, Nick, will provide a provocative spin on all the towns he visits and it might be yours!
Other shows currently in development for production are:
Gay Court: sometimes serious, sometimes silly, but always a great campy look at gay and lesbian issues from the bench.
Giggles: A comedy program featuring gay and lesbian comics.
Student Union: A soap opera telling the stories of a new gay kid during his first year in college.

About Q Television Network
This television network was organized to create and develop a network devoted to providing television programming for the gay and lesbian community. While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public. The company's programming will be available on a subscription basis to those desiring its programming. The network will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

It's probably more like 50-75k, not 5k. Approx 10% of pop'n is gay and RCN is in some heavily gay populated areas. JMHO though.

*************I WANT TO BE A 'Q-GROUPIE' and follow the Q-Mobiles around the USA!!!
Hey some of us will be able to do just this! What if we make like a little cult QTv following... We should always try to have shareholders at these events, so the company never forgets who helped get all of us there (that would be US)!!!
Who wants to be a Q-Grouppie???
We will sport QTv hoodies and shirts and what not!?!??! I wonder if they would alow shareholders to be on tv during these live events... Hmmmm... I think if they come up to the North East, gay or not, I will be there!!!

pharm, i agree and i think if Q can get close to the 50k number a couple of the big boys in cable will be looking to make a deal. for our pps's sake i'm hoping they announce the total subscribed the day of launch and then again middle of the month. that is if the number goes up...lol
I think that they'll get about 15% of the gay crowd initially... that is, 7.5-11k subscribers... however, I think that number will double before Oct 1st. It's just my guess. I'm basing it on how many people that I know who knew about Q before I mentioned it and on how chatty/gossipy (is that a word?) people are. JMHO though.

LOL... it hasn't... it's still the same, only now it's gadgets, phones, etc too.. as soon as one queen gets in a chat room and talks about it, it'll be like a fission reaction! just get the hell outta the way!
As an example, I'm a member of People Living With Parkinson's community. I guarantee you, I know of new treatments practically before my docs do. So trust me...the word about the Q is already making its way thru the community.
just My two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.
chow!
Just a quick hint of advice..Break up your paragraphs when posting. It makes it much easier on the eye to read it rather then reading one long bunched up paragraph.

hello everyone, just got home and finished reading all of todays 7345 pages on the qbid thread lmfao ok exaggerating a bit. wife was in town waiting for bank to open to wire more money today by the time she got home it had hit the day low and bounced up to .004 we got 135k at .0041 bringing the total up to 535k. this is mostly a long position but will sell a small portion as it rises to get back My original investment. wish I would have sent more money sooner so I could have grabbed more shares at .0031 oh well way it goes. happy to have what I have and wishing I had more money to buy more. I really wish Q could come up with another carrier a major carrier to launch in sept but maybe Q will have to launch with RCN first and then after getting a good percentage of subscribers Q will look attractive to the big carriers and then maybe things can go from there. I have no doubts about making a nice profit off this investment but as for getting rich well gonna take some carriers advertisers and reporting with the sec. rome was not built in a day and I would fall over dead if a national network broadcasting to almost every home in the usa could be built in less than 2 or 3 years. forget who but someone posted that they thought it might drop to .00011 lol God how I would sell My car in a hot second to buy Q at that price lmfao. riding a bike 5 miles to and from work everyday would be no problem for getting shares at that price lol. I might be able to stay in the virgin islands and not have to come home lol. yes I am secretly praying for a buck or more a share by january but then I wake up and realise with 9 billion O/S that would take a few years and being available to every house in the usa just like hbo or showtime. also there would have to be a nice size buyback too. hell even a small buyback now of 10 or 20 million would probably do well to boost any insecurities some investors might have. ok off to surf for a few lol take care everyone.just My two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.

Just teasing you! (laugh)
Thought today was really good. We needed some good pr and we got it. Now I'm being greedy, because I already want MORE. Can't help it; just want to know everything that is happening in the Q office. Killing me, I say.
Hope tomorrow brings higher pps...depending on how the market behaves, could see a morning bump. Hope so.
P.S. Anonymous-Lurker...can I ask: Are you male or female? Just curious. No need to answer that... wondering, I always seem to respond to you...
Anyone talking "charts" tonight?
The shareholders need to host there own show...
It could be like skit comedy... dating tips.... straight eye for the gay guy!!! (How to be a straight slob pretty much j/k guys) !!! After they get on their feet they should reward us with a show about us, the investors!!!
I would love to go to one of their taped party events... I am sure everyone would get a kick out of watching me hit on girls... oh wait, they'd be all lesbians right? EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAH
BI-SEXUAL GIRLS (REMEMBER PEOPLE QBID IS BI-SEXUAL THERE ARE BOUND TO BE GIRLS FOR US GUYS!!!LOTS OF GIRLS+SHOTS & BEER+ME+QTV FILM CREW= A very funny thirty minute show!!!
=============================================
wow these pps levels would be a great buy back price heheheheheheheh...
Imagine if they got someone to help fund the buy back, even if they 'only' gave $50,000 dollars?!??!?!?
Again it is in the best intrest of QTv to buy back as many shares as possible...
-John-
=============================================
I am pure breed male! ha ha ha
straight one!!!
I would not mind if those lesbians were between 18 and 32 for example! ha ha ha
O.K. lets go back to our precious Q.
Anyone here eager to elaborate where is our bottom??? To be honest i have no idea!
I want to add in order to average my short term lot price. Will have funds available at the beginning of next. I am starting to be pretty heavy invested into Mr. Olsen idea.

4/15 - 1.4 billion!
4/16 - 791,000,000
I remember 04/14. I called coworkers to my office to show off the $25,000 profit in my account and laugh at them that they hadn't bought in when I had told them to. I left my desk for a meeting that only lasted 1/2 hour and large chunk of that $25,000 was gone as quickly as it had appeared.
I think we are going up again but this time I am not going to make the same mistake, once we get near the .028 again and I will be out looking for a good reentry with a healthy portion of the profit in my pocket. At the moment I am only in the red on one purchase that was made on 04/26 at .019. As soon as i get a few percent on that purchase it is going first.
Although I think we are going up and have great potential I don't have any long term confidence at the moment.Does anyone think this will become a good daytrade again? We had a swing of 60% today and it is very suprising how quickly that 60% happened. At one point this was happening every day and I never took a chance always hoping that it was going up never and never going to look back. I only took the chance once and was lucky enough to sell 1/2 my shares and rebuy them back the day and add 25% for free. The next few weeks may be the perfect time to do the same? Anyone else have an opinion or remember when the large swings were a daily occurance?

RCN Launches Voice Over IP Deployment in Chicago Market
Wednesday August 4, 7:05 am ET
PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RCN Corporation announced that it has deployed Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology in its Chicago market, the latest in a series of initiatives in Chicago. This rollout, currently available where the upgrade has been completed, is expected to be available in RCN's entire Chicago footprint by October 31, 2004.
This initiative reflects RCN's continuing commitment to its Chicago market and builds on the January launch of "Digital City." With the digital upgrade, Chicago customers can enjoy digital cable television with RCN's unique Starview(SM) mosaic program guide, as well as Video on Demand (VOD), Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD), and MegaModem Mach 7(SM), the industry's fastest cable modem.
There's more to the article, but I thought this would suffice.

The scheduled start-up date for Viacom's planned Logo cable TV network is February. The date was incorrect in a Monday Part 2 story about gay and lesbian media. http://www.newsday.com/news/corrections/ny-cxx3917244aug04,0,4044867.story

You're right! It's called Urban something & it's not even a network. Pridevision is trading in the neighberhood of .70 Canadian I believe & again, it's not a standalone network. At best it's a station. QBID will be a standalone Broadcasting National TV Network & you will not find any trading for less than one dollar a share!

Looks like investors are skittish today. The market is sucking big time...also noticed that investors are waiting for Q to dip before buying....so far, however, we are holding steady! would love to see it hit 005 today. Think it is possible.

"If We Agree To Disagree, Then We Can Remain friends"
I agree, a PR with that NY news would be welcome, but maybe they have a whole lot to do at the NY office to make it presentable before making such an announcement. The investor in me is hungry for news but the realist in me understands that if they have some long term funding in place and a carrier, and programs in active production, then they may be "right on schedule" and not rushing anything. Taking it by the numbers and doing it right, hopefully, which I have to applaud.
Moreso than news, I would expect to see a website update with programming and talent info. A headshot of this Melinda person and a blurb about the show, and maybe a graphic for each show and a blurb, to give the programs each an identity and seem "real" to cable subscribers who are visiting the site for channel info. Expected to see something on the documentary at least by now, which they've had in their hands long enough to promote on the website. The site is their number one venue right now, so I say pour some professional attention into it. It is past time, IMO. No offense to the web designer who got them this far, but now a full time professional effort there is called for.
But I'm still trusting that the Q has a master plan, is feeling excited but not rushed, and is doing it right. They are first to market, and can afford to roll out at their own pace, so long as they maintain their comfortable lead.
Go Q.

My theory? This stock is known by more people now, and the market is now not then.
We'll beat those highs eventually!
Heres the graph to see the prices. Just drop down the options for 4 yr and move cursor over chart to show price and volume.

which is good but not soon enough(small settlement for a serious back injury only 8 grand) I could buy 2 million shares of qbid with that lmao.
Wait for the dips, dont chase it. Good luck on the settlement.

already placed that order and bought at .041 135 thousand shares bringing my total up to 535 thousand shares
and yes I agree BigTip unfortuantely my settlement may come to late to buy more at these low levels but on the bright side if the pps rises there will be volatility and good opportunities for short term trading.

with 9 billion O/S the only way it will hit .35 on 9-1-04 is if there is a feeding frenzy and a unsustainable huge price spike temporarily occurs. (which is possible this is the pinks) most likely more carriers and numbers are gonna be needed to make that big of a jump that soon.
just MHO and I have been wrong plenty of times before
That is a great position! I have that amount slighty higher then .0044..

I never said it wont shoot up I said if it does it will be a huge temporary price spike and most likely not be sustainable. it may shoot up to a buck or two or more who knows but I personally dont believe it will be able to stay near that range and it would start dropping fast.

well I would have to disagree although this is very risky and I have no direct knowledge or anything hard I can post and prove. I do have a telephone and I do use it and I do call and ask things and things are looking real good there is strong excitement and enthusiasm with Q personel. they would not be enthusiastic and excited if things were not going well. this is all I can really say and I have said too much actually.

just like that... Frank is cool man, he also mentioned another carrier will be announced shortly (2-5 business days)

For it to get to 10 cents it needs to go up 1900%. Which is nothing compared to the 20000% it had gone up months ago. There is enough volume for it to get to that price.
And when it is at 10 cents, simply another 900% JUST 900% is $1.00!
Now of course it won't happen in 1 day but hello? How about 1 year? How about 2 years??

Taking in to account that Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than a buck a share I'ld say two years at the outside is very realistic!!!!

They arrived at that number by going with the theory that 10% of the US is gay. That number has never been proven. It's closer to 1-2%, which would mean an audience of 2-3 million.
If Q gets to $1 sooner then we think, then I think the climb will be quick and steady. Might show an upwards staircase on charts.
Lets focus on the little steps first.

Actually, your incorrect. That number has varied from 7 to 13%, so 10% is the accepted average.

I think the US is similar to this :
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040616/GAY16/TPNational/Canada
10% would mean that for every 10 people you know, 1 of them is gay. I think that's far off.
Wanting to see 005....come on...let's get this thing a'movin...
Anyone heard anything about the NY office this week? When I talked to David about a month ago, he told me it was being remodeled and was (at that time) going to be opened this week. Wondering if that is still true?

Yes, I have a degree in Mathematics, so I know what 10% means. I can tell you that it's probably correct. If you don't think that you can point out gay people that you know, then you're not very observant.
It's also a PROVEN fact that many gay people do NOT answer as gay/partnered on surveys in order to hide their personal lives.
If you want other proof, all you need to do is research information on the 2000 Census. For that matter, check into information from employers on exactly what percentage of employees have Domestic Partner benefits. Keep in mind that it is often less expensive for a gay couple to each have INDIVIDUAL coverage at their own employment. Firstly, because two singles is usually less expensive than a "married" plan (especially if it is NOT offered as "married without children"). Secondly, because of the tax consequences it is often more expensive for a gay couple. The employee is TAXED AS INCOME on the cost of coverage that the employer pays for the partner. This is not the case for married couples. Therefore, it's often more expensive to have Domestic Partner coverage. Thirdly, many gay couples will not use DP coverage because it will "blow their cover" in the workplace.
We can debate this all day and neither of us can PROVE our points 100%. However, all you need to do is look at the world around you to realize that it's greater than 2%.

The crew is in the NY office as we speak!
I work for Bloomberg's customer service located on Park Avenue in the city. So decided to take a walk on my lunch hour to 430 Park Avenue. The new office for Q Television Network. I took the elevator to the 14th floor and just passed by their suite. Door was wide open and boxes all over the place. I saw a big guy in there that sounded like he had a scratchy voice.
Beautiful building! Logo was being installed on their door.
I'm assuming they are here for the whole weekend.

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug 5, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- RCN Corporation ("RCN" or the "Company") announced today that RCN Cable TV of Chicago, Inc. ("CATV-Chicago), an indirect subsidiary of RCN Corporation, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District Court of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court").
Today's filing is part RCN's ongoing efforts to modify its franchise agreements with the City of Chicago so that it can honor its commitment of continuing to grow and serve its approximately 100,000 customers in Chicago. Earlier this week, RCN also announced the launch of a new telephone service over the Internet to its Chicago customers. Chicago is the first of RCN's markets to launch this product and the first bundled provider to offer this product in the Chicago area.
"We remain committed to our customers and employees in our Chicago market. We are optimistic that the City will help us execute on our strategy toprovide choice and competition for our customers," said Tom McKay, Assistant General Manager in Chicago. "Our entire team has worked tirelessly for the past year to upgrade our network and launch new products and services that our customers are asking for so that we can continue to offer them a better choice for their telecommunication needs in the City of Chicago."
Over the past 18 months, RCN has invested heavily in its Chicago market as part of its commitment to its current and growing customer base. RCN is in the process of completing the upgrade of its entire network to its approximately 300,000-household footprint that will be completed by October of this year. Recent product launches include a 7 Mbps cable modem product, voice service over the Internet, video on demand services, high-definition television service, and multiple bundle packages including its Digital City channel lineup and advanced channel guide.
RCN previously announced that its senior secured lenders and members of an ad hoc committee of holders of its Senior Notes had agreed to support a financial restructuring. The Company anticipates filing a plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement consistent with the financial restructuring, prior to the end of August 2004. As previously announced, the Company expects to consummate its restructuring process during the fourth quarter of 2004.
RCN anticipates no disruption of service to its customers as a result of this filing.
For additional information about the restructuring process, please visit: http://www.rcntomorrow.com.

LMAO!... thanks, 1Big.... I didn't know people were referring to L2s, I thought they meant actual trades...... Dolp! My bad...
For instance: QBID's RSI was at 70 @.0040 in April so most likely you would not buy at that price but few days later RSI went to 90 and price closed around .018. You just dont know.
But you can use charts as a tell, an indicator.
When you hear us say "might be crossing over the MACD" A bullish crossover occurs when MACD moves above its 9-day EMA and a bearish crossover occurs when MACD moves below its 9-day EMA. QBID has crossed. QBID has crossed over its 200MA. Bullish (upwards) trend should continue.
Three White Bars is A bullish reversal pattern each with a higher close. Each should open within the previous body and the close should be near the high of the day. If you look at this chart, you'll see the 3 white candlesticks! http://tinyurl.com/3p4nh
Good things to come.

But yes - Go to court plead either guilty or guilty with an explaination and usually the judge will cut the fine in half or reduce the ticket to a seatbelt and give no points on license. Good luck.

Usually there is 1 resistance level that the stock has a hard time passing. In this case I feel its .0090 for QBID. But I like to think theres more then 1 resistance. A point in which we moved up on the downtrend but couldn't get any higher is resistance. .0062 is a nice point to pass.
Heres a nice place to learn about it. Look at the charts they use. http://www.stockcharts.com/education/ChartAnalysis/supportResistance.html

Someone please explain this ??
Thanks
Here's a picture for you. Visualize a list of Broadcasting National TV Networks. Now look closely & tell me how many are trading for less than a buck a share. Looks pretty empty doesn't it. IT IS!
QBID will trade for more than a dollar a share at some point.

ps think I will go to court.
O.K., firefly, you forced me to tell my speeding story--still makes me see red. About 20 years ago, I was driving several kids (mine and others') home from a swimming party with one eye on the road and one on the rear view mirror checking the backseat. I was driving maybe 48 in a 45 limit (going downhill). All the other cars were passing us, but I got pulled over. I was just shocked. The officer said that I was doing 58! in a 45 zone. I, of course, mentioned that everything on the road had passed me. He said that he couldn't catch everybody. Grinding my teeth, I got back on the road, and as I stopped at a red light, saw my reflection in a store window. In the reflection, the kids heads were not visible. Since I was wearning a swimsuit with the strap untied, I really looked like I was driving naked. (Remember this is before Brittney). Well, I did go to court. I plead innocent minus the swimsuit story. The judge said there must have been something wrong with my odometer or tires. I had to pay $50 and go to driver's school one night--it did not go on my record. Fight it. I know why that cop stopped me, and it wasn't because I was driving 3 miles over the limit. So, firefly, what where you wearing?

Thank you again, 1BigTip. This is a great site. I'm visualizing support and resistance almost like a seesaw balance. I now have a much better understanding of these terms. The first chart had the three candlesticks like you explained in your previous post. Mabe someday QBID be an example for novice chart users!

We need to expect for QBID to take a little breather. Then again it might not. "Missing the boat" only means 1 thing.
Part of Q Television's New Fall Line-Up
YESTERGAY WITH MELINDA

Think that today could be interesting. Was hoping that there would be good news to stimulate Market, but oh well... Waiting for news...hoping today, but probably on Monday....25 days to go...and counting.
Big--Thanks for the chart tips last night...eventually, it will all make sense to me...still have sooo much to learn.
Firefly--Sorry to hear about that Speeding ticket, but I say fight it too...my husband got a ticket in June. He went to court and "discussed" it...judge cut in half!!

Can't tell you all how mad I am at myself...had the money in my account to buy 300,000. But did I? No...I've only flogged myself twice. Now I'm withholding chocolate from myself (laugh)
Oh well. Did sell the measly few shares I bought at 0036 earlier for a small profit yesterday and then bought back in...I'm still learning about patience in the Pinks! (sigh) Just for info purposes...the shares that I buy and sell now are my short term ones. Most of my long shares are between 008 and 017.
Dow is down 107 points... Hold on Q!!! You're doing GREAT!!!!
HELLO Kids, RUMOR from CBS as well as our own Raging bull message boads, talk about a COMCAST CABLE CONTRACT connection, with our own Q-Channel comming any day now. Lets hope this RUMOR comes true. do I se 10 cents a share comming soon, Very possible IMO

It is wrong to pound these companies with phone calls. Let them do their job. Things are happening so sit back & relax.
They would rather handle calls from their own customers rather then someone just trying to get information out of them.
But keep posting please. We need to read things like that. Thanks

1BigTip I simply used the online help and ask the questions. You can do the same. Infact I would suggst doing the same to clarify. Its not a pump or a dump I'm just trying to get facts straight.
I agree that we should just let them do their job - but hey people want to know.
Didn't seem like Comcast had any issue answering my questions - and I am a customer, so no biggy 1BigTip, no need to be concerned.

We don't need to read more rumors from other message boards. That's exactly what spreads all the misinformation and does more harm than good to this stock.
Hoping for confirmation of Comcast and NY office location!!!

We are going to stay green for those 2 weeks. Word is gonna get out, so many people are going to be picking up shares, it's gonna be complete kaos. The volume is gonna be outta control. Then when the 1st comes, more people will buy in on the launch news. I'm telling u folks this is gonna be amazing. WE GONNA GET THIS MONEY.
I thought all that was going to happen when they announced the first carrier? Why would a second carrier cause it to skyrocket to a $1?
Editing to say OOOOPS, sorry! Reread your post and saw it was another poster from Knoxville. I'll go back to sleep now! LOL

A bullish reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive white bodies, each with a higher close. Each should open within the previous body and the close should be near the high of the day.

Big--you have any good chocolate up there in CT?? Thinking Reeses or Three Musketeers.
good standing for the low volume
I keep thinking QBID doing that makes my days/nights go by easier.
Market is just awful today. Hoping Monday is good for us all...really think that if market hadn't tanked, QBID would have been up to 006...Perhaps Monday!
I don't know your current financial situation but you should never listen to someone on message boards. Thats my personal opinion. In fact if you invest that 12k at .0053, put in a limit sell order for .0064. That will give you a $2400 profit.
Thats if you want to make a quick buck.
If you want the long run profits, then yes. 12k now and 5k later on.
Good luck & let us know what happens.

I am almost in that situation. I found out today I have a second settlement coming the first settlement is 8300 and the second is 6600. unfortunately I probably wont get them soon enough to be able to buy into qbid at these low levels but if I do I have already planned to buy another 10 thousand of qbid at .006 or below.
that does not mean you should do the same as me you have to make up your own descisions as to what you are willing to risk.
I dont owe anything on credit cards or car loans or house loan the car truck and house are already paid for if they were not Id probably pay them off first etc.
I surely would not invest 17 grand if thats all I had half maybe 10 at most and keep some set aside for a nest egg.
just my two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.
always do your own DD and never buy or sell on someone elses advice unless they are a professional.
So I can even wait until November for it to go to .02.
I hope its sooner because I love to see other people make money too!

I hope its sooner because I love to see other people make money too!
I dont plan on selling any of my shares till .05 then just 20k and 20k at .10.
I am holding out for Q's success longterm. I have a feeling like I have never had on any stock before. I realise it may not be smart to hold like this for the big numbers due to an emotional feeling but when opportunity knocks it only knocks once and I plan to get off my butt and answer the door.
P.S. good evening everyone

Wow MW, not to be invasive but as I am starting my career and standing on my own two feet, did investments help pay for your car, truck, and house? Because, that is a excellent to not have any bills with the way houses are priced these days.
I read your messages and QBID and CMKX are the two (not including TFCT and LSTA) that will substantially help me get on my feet.
My question is which of these do you or anyone on this board believe, in your humble opinion of course, see paying off possibly in the next few months and which paying off in the next few years.
I'm a recent college grad with 50k in loans, I'm looking to pay some of this burden off.
Appreciate your feedback,
Mike
Perhaps this might help. Little by little make your profits with stocks and pay off your bills. Dont hold back from selling when your up 10%..

nope stocks did not help pay off the car truck and house 2 people working 100 hours a week each did. lol now that the necessities are taken care of I can try to become a trader is my hopes. hoping Q can give me the capital to trade full time and tell my boss where to shove that truck I drive lmao.
always few days later ( sometimes up to 8 business days ) nasdaq reports new insitutions enrolled
good luck
Nice forecast.

Hi Mike, I posted about QBID on your thread "Is it just me..." Oops wrong thread! Don't feel alone about the college loans. I hear this so often from young people. Right now the jobs available will not allow them to pay off those debts and eat too. Focus on the end result and take it one step at a time. There are some great people on this board, right Firefly?

television network scheduled to launch in the
near future.
Comcast: Sure, Mr. ****** which network are you
interested in?
Me: Its called Q-Television
Comcast: Please hold while I gather information on

I wouldn't sell now the stock is going to go up significantly within the next month or two. They have a carrier and when they launch this company will not only gain finacial status but will be known and that rowls up investors and gets people interested. remember most people don't even know about QBID. When they find out there will be more money coming in. Especially since there is so much contraversy over gay lifestyle right now the network should take off. Look at Queer as Folk that show took off. Amagine a whole network. All i'm saying is hold this stock you should be glad you did.
Anonymous_lurker, I read the KY link. Again Logo's launch is given as Feb. 05. This and the Cher article from last week are current. Have you found anything to explain the "other" date of Oct 05?

I am wondering does anyone besides myself think that maybe in 3 to 5 years if things went right that Q could become a 5 dollar a share company.
I keep thinking that maybe in a few years if Q gets moved up to nasdaq or amex and if they can get carried by most carriers in the nation someday that just maybe if there are 20 to 30 million gay and lesbian people in this nation, that at 7.95 a month (with say 5.00 going to Q and 2.95 going to the carriers) just 25% of the target population would be 5 to 7.5 million customers.
that would be 300 to 450 million dollars a year.(I am not saying this will happen but I sure keep thinking it is possible)
I would be interested in everyones opinions on this longterm outlook.

Believe me KC! I've kept alot of that up front when I consider my position. That & the fact that you just can't find a genuine Broadcasting National TV Network that trades for less than $1 a share.

Actually MW, I was thinking 10 million subs on the weight that we honestly have no idea how many G/L people descreetly go about their everyday lives without open disclosure. Also keep in mind we're going to see big money from advertisers & sponsors! Matter of time.

I want to do a comparison with Q Television.
Who would have thought we would be using cell phones as walkie talkies? Who would have thought we can use those walkie talkies to contact anyone with a cell phone from that service? Who would have imagined we can walkie talkie someone from across the country? WE DIDN'T. But the one company everyone thinks about and refers to, is Nextel.
Nextel has patent it. They have invented it. They were the first ones to provide it! And everyone will remember Nextel as the "walkie talkie" providers.
Now, after years of delayed launches and multiple trys, Sprint and Verizon come out with the service but many flaws come with it. 5-10 seconds delay, extra charges on bill, ect. They still have not figured out how they do it and the technology they use. Nextel has kept it a secret all these years.
Even though other companies might catch up and figure it out, Nextel will always be a step ahead. Just like they introduced "International" walkie talkie service. Imagine me being in NY and you being in Mexico and being able to use the walkie talkie?
So - Even though there will be other G&L Networks, Q Television will be the one people remember to launching the first and attracting millions of people! They will have a product which would be hard to match. Some might come close, some might even match it, but Q Television will be bigger to everyone for being available first.
Usually the first company that makes it, is the one people remember, except in certain situations.
Over the 5 year period, look who's been outperforming the other with their stock.

I really need some assurance. I don't know if often stock research sites are wrong BigTip and MW but when you have information like this below on websites, it kind of makes you second guess yourself. You all do bring up very interesting points, though. I guess I just need a tiny bit more reassurance. What do you guys think about this information on this site ?
Also I saw that site say 60% buy while QBID was tanking from .017!

I'm sorry I am still new to this. But what the term 'pink sheet stock' mean? You're right Tip, when I randomly put stocks in to see for the most part they were sell, for example, MSFT, CC, BBY, and SIRI so I should really take that information with a grain of salt.

A company whose shares are traded on the so-called "pink sheets" is commonly one that does not meet the minimal criteria for capitalization and number of shareholders that are required by the NASDAQ and OTC and most exchanges to be listed there. The "pink sheet" designation is a holdover from the days when the quotes for these stocks were printed on pink paper. "Pink Sheet" stocks have both advantages and disadvantages.
Disadvantages:
1. Thinly traded. Can make it tough (and expensive) to buy or sell shares.
2. Bid/Ask spreads tend to be pretty steep. So if you bought today the stock might have to go up 40-80% before you'd make money. QBID's bid/ask has been extremely close so its so easy to make money.
3. Market makers may be limited. Much discussion has taken place in this group about the effect of a limited number of market makers on thinly traded stocks. (They are the ones who are really going to profit).Key statement there, they can manipulate the stock as low as we are now, hoping we sell to get our shares for cheap
4. Can be tough to follow. Very little coverage by analysts and papers.
Advantages:
1. Normally low priced. Buying a few thousand shares shouldn't cost a lot.
2. Many companies list in the "Pink Sheets" as a first step to getting listed on the National Market. This alone can result in some price appreciation, as it may attract buyers that were previously wary.
In other words, there are plenty of risks for the possible reward, but aren't there always?
3. To See over 300% profit the stock probably has to go up a few pennies whereas a big board stock needs to go up dollars.
The National Quotation Bureau maintains the list of pink-sheet stocks. Their site gives the history of the pink-sheet listing service and information about real-time quotes for OTC issues. http://www.nqb.com/

It's been so hot here in TX. Big, glad to hear things are cooling off in CT...My husband and I lived in D.C. and Fairfax, VA for several years before children....both of us are from TX, so four seasons was a concept we had to adjust to...snow just blew my mind!!(laugh).
Anyway, on to QBID...any thoughts on Monday? I think that if the market improves we could continue the inch upwards, but alot depends on the psychology of investors...everyone is wary and skittish about investing. Hoping that Frank gets a solid pr out this week--this will give everyone a mental "boost!"
Just my take on things right now. Heck, come Monday, I could feel differently...female perogative, you know (laugh). If it pulls back again, I will definitely buy more at the 0036 point...not missing that opportunity again.
Yes, QTV is poised to see an increase in stock value just because of its current value. As they find carriers and subscribers the stock should and will move up.
However, the magic word is SUBSCRIBERS!
QTV can not be part of your basic cable, basic digital cable, or basic satellite package. Language and graphics in aired programming does not allow that. I like to remind everyone that the FCC is currently in an indecency war with broadcasters! QTV is and will be a subscription service like HBO, Showtime, Playboy, etc. Since QTV appeals to certain subscribers only, the revenue stream is very limited.
That brings me to the next magic word: Revenue!
How much will QBID actually receive from the cable companies?
Let us take a look at HBO for an example: The average monthly rate is $12 per subscriber collected by the cable or satellite company. Since both, cable and satellite provider, are retailers of bundled programming services, programming is purchased at wholesale cost. This means, HBO might get $1.50 to $2 per subscriber and month. This does not sound much, but if you multiply this figure by Twenty-million subscribers.....you can do the math!
The question is:
How many SUBSCRIBERS does QTV anticipate by the end of this year or the end of next year?
Only this will determine where the stock is going!
For QBID hitting $1.00, getting listed on the big board etc. is far fetched at this point. However, a move away from the sub-penny range is truly possible.
MS_Gulf...hoping subscribers will sign on because of word of mouth...may gradually increase month by month as word gets out. Bringing in subscribers equates to increased revenue...thinking it will happen in due time!! Go Q! ( I would be so pleased if we hit 015 again...we know it can happen, just a matter of when! All of us will make a decent profit at 015-02 range. Did last time...That's a very fond memory of mine!)(Laugh)
Out for now!! 'night all.

Home Box Office is the premium television programming division of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., providing two 24-hour premium television services, HBO and Cinemax. Together, both networks reach nearly 35 million subscribers in the United States via cable, C-band satellite, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) and microwave (MMDS), as well as in the lodging industry. Home Box Office's international ventures bring HBO branded services to more than 40 countries around the globe.
ok MS together both cinemax and hbo reach 35 million subscribers and they estimate there are 20 to 30 million G and L and bisexual adults in the nation. the potential for QTN to become very very profitable is there. I would also think that is HBO is costing subscribers an average of 12 bucks a month that they would at least get 40% of that. I sell wholesale and I sell to the distributor at 44%
I think the hard part is almost done. once on the air with RCN I think its only a matter of time before other carriers pick QTN up. if Frank handles this right over the next few years this could become big.
buybacks....sec filing...moved up to at least the otc then hopefully nasdac someday.
lets not forget the possibility of a huge temporary price spike fueled by the launch. it can happen in the pinks. look up BBAN go back about 5 years and if I remember correctly it went from .07 to 12 bucks a share in a few weeks then went down to almost nothing just as fast. there is no telling what can happen in the pinks.
just My two cents worth and probably overpriced at that.

Anyway, I was reading the New York Times Business section this morning and found something interesting.
Cox Communications stock is now up to $33.15 because of a 7.9 billion proposal to take the company private...thought this was interesting just because I'm hoping QTN gets signed on with them, too!!
and; Univision--"the largest Spanish-language television and radio broadcaster in the nation said its net income in the second quarter soared 63 percent because it sold more advertising." It closed Friday at $34.16! (yes, I know, it's listed on the NYSE)
I guess my point here is that Univision definetly has a "niche" or a group that they obviously market to...I realize that there are more spanish-speaking individuals than there are gay/lesbians, but my point is that the potential is here...if the pps of QBID just goes up a fraction of what Univision's currently is, we will all be happy, so will Frank! Just wanted to give an example of how well a market-specific broadcaster can work. Also reinforced how advertising can boost revenues...think of all the advertisers that will jump on QTN once it is available to the masses. As Diana says, Potential is Priceless.
Hope I don't get eaten alive for posting this info, just thought it was worth sharing with you all.
Remember most spanish Families tend to be sorta big, not a lot of diaposable income to go around, versus Gays where only 20% of gay couples have children, which translates to MUCH more disposable income...
Many gay people will rent summer homes on Long Island, at points from Long Beach to the Hamptons at rates at 10k a MONTH to as high as 30-40k a month... Just to rent a summer home. However keep in mind many of the Gays in New York tend to be very well off. or Just well off If you have 15k to blow on a summer home for a month or even for three months, that says a lot...
I barely have enough money for a candy bar,lol (Thats because I spent in on CMKX)
-John-
in 2000 there were 23 million hispanics in the us so that puts QTN on about the same potential customer base as univision.
now I havent found out what univisions O/S is or any other data on them but hey if they can do it with about the same target customer base as QTN then its possible for Q to do it also.
Frank if your reading this please dont screw up. lol
just my two cents worth and probably overpriced at that

well if the gay people can afford vacation homes at those prices then maybe they can make me rich enough so I can afford em too lol. I can buy a candy bar but not much more than that lol. spent a grand the other day just on luggage and clothes for my vacation coming up.

Going walking now and try to envision my portfolio in a month. (lol)
I see many gay people paying the small cost of $100-$150 a year this Network may cost them. To many of them that is the cost of a non-expensive dinner for THEMSELVES, lol...
This is why I really feel this network will be a success, there is so much potential money that can be tapped by such an inexpensive medium...
-John-
the hard part for me is trying to figure out what kind of long term potential there really is here so I can come up with a good exit point.
I cant wait till september for launch lol I want it now. the suspense is killing me.

**** Attention QBID investors!****
Ever ask yourself why bashers don't compile a list of Broadcasting National TV Networks that trade for under $1 a share?
They don't exsist!
Most Broadcasting National TV Networks had to prove their worth before they ever launched!
QBID is no exception!
When others watch the future unfold & write how surprised they are at how high our share price climbs,,,
I'll be happy,,, but I will not be surprised!
Those that do not hold a strong diciplined core position will be really pissed at new investors that bought their shares & proclaim how obvious this play was. After all,,,

I'm not even concerned with the near term! I'm holding every share I have for at least a year as I want to benifit from the spikes we get when LOGO's feeble attempts to play catch up bring to bear huge Viacom influence & shine a light on this sector in which we dominate.
However since you ask. My friend 1BigTip sees 10 cents buy Christmas & if all goes well that projection may prove to be very very conservative!
Remember!

Had a great day today! Walked, went swimming, grilled, and now here I am waiting for opening bell already!! Certainly am hoping for a better market performance tomorrow. Also hoping to see a pr...patience.
Hope everyone had a great weekend...am looking forward to 'seeing' you all in the morning. Looking forward to good things happening soon for all of us. Hang on and keep the faith!
Like everyone, I'm wishing to hear of more progress being made, especially news about that darn NY office and more carriers.

Where I was today we had free coke all day! It was a theme park and water rides and drinks were free at every location throughout the park! Imagine all the coke you can get Sunny!
He then went on to compare the competitors. Picture climbing a Corporate ladder like climbing a mountain with snow. There will be others with you at the bottom and many will make it someway up, but the farther up you are the less competitors you have! Just like Nextel.
Q Television has snowmobiles and they will get to the top fast, while the others find the right jackets to put on.

On July 16th 3:00 pm to about 6:00pm EST i saw on Ragingbull that some people called Comcast in Seattle, and got confirmation that "yes! Q-television will be aired". After reading the second one, being from Washington, i also called and got the same "yes QTVN will be on" I called the next day to confirm, and they were very evasive and tried to give me the run around. after i told her about the day before's confirmation, she Finally gave me a probably! lol!
There is a reason why they are keeping a lid on thing's. What that is... i have no idea. I do feel like i, and a few others up here in Wa. had a brief look through a window that was open by Comcast, by mistake. opps. There is a huge G/L community here,As you know we also have Microsoft,Star Bucks and Boeing just to name a few. Kinda make's you wonder Why Mr. Frank Olson came here, soon after the 5 hour preview.

OMOG. Thats about it right now. Wait for a small drop. RSI is a little to high for me right now.
GMED. Not a penny but definetly something that will reach $1 very soon. They applied to be listed on the AMEX. Wait for a dip, it rose from .08 last week.
I won't be around most of the day today but hopefully Q does good without me..
Good luck everyone.

Seems like I've been waiting for Opening Bell all night! Let's hope the rumors are true, which would be completely wonderful for all of us QBIDDERS. Hoping to see a better day today.
Wishing all of us a great day and ever improving portfolios....22 days and counting.
Like sunny, I am waiting and hoping for pr today.
Pretty quiet!
I still can't get over it!
I still just can't remember the precise moment it occurred to me that there was only one element missing from the equation,,,,
(QBID=$1)
I think it was February 2nd. Right after I plunked my money down it dropped 50% & stayed in that range for days. For some reason I didn't even care. Because I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that given time QBID would be a storybook stock.
See, I already knew before I ever asked people on any number of message boards to help me write a list of Broadcasting National TV Networks that trade for less than $1 a share. I knew they couldn't produce anymore than 1 or 2 lame examples at best. And I also knew why!
Yep. There were a couple of moments when I had my doubts but bottom line I always knew that the only thing absent was,,, **the element of risk!**
Even for those that piled on in the .02 range. There just really isn't any risk. I know we're going through .02 on the way to a buck.
We all knew, well, most of us knew that it would happen even before it did.

Firefly...thanks so much. It's one big team effort here...we all know QBID has the potential to go up...saw it happen before...know it can happen again, especially now that we are getting contracts.
Penny-Trader...I am totally with you on that...rumors are good (means people are talking about our Q), but right now I really want to know that there is at least a CONFIRMED second carrier.
P.S. starting to feel like this is a miniature example of the hunter/gatherer mini society...people hunting for new information to bring back to the den...then the rest of us gather it all together and put into a construct for mass assimilation and consumption (laugh).

Electronic Trading: The Role of a Market Maker
Market makers (sometimes referred to as "Ax") provide continuous bid and offer prices within a prescribed percentage spread for shares in which they are designated to make a market. There can be anywhere from 4 to 40 (or more) market makers for a particular stock depending on the average daily volume. The market makers play an important role in the secondary market as catalysts, particularly for enhancing stock liquidity and thus generally for promoting long-term growth the market.
Market makers must maintain continuous two-sided quotes (bid and ask) within a predefined spread. A market is created when the designated market maker quotes bids and offers over a period of time. They ensure there is a buyer for your sell order and a seller for your buy order at any time.
Once the market maker has entered a price, they are obligated to either buy or sell at least 1000 securities at that advertised price. Once the market maker has either bought or sold these shares they may then "leave the market" and enter a new bid or ask price to make a profit on their previous trade.
Let's say that a market maker has entered a sell order for Microsoft (MSFT) and the bid/ask is $65.25/$65.30. The market maker can try to sell shares of MSFT at $65.30, if they do, they can then turn around and enter a bid order to buy shares in MSFT. The market maker can bid higher or lower than the current bid of $65.25, if he/she enters a bid at $65.26 then a new market is created because their bid price is now the best bid. If the market maker attracts a seller at the new bid price of $65.26 then they have successfully "made the spread." The market maker sold 1000 shares at $65.30 and bought these shares back at $65.26. As a result, the market maker made $40 (1000 shares x 4 cents) on the difference between the two transactions. This might not seem like much, but doing this repeatedly with larger order sizes can provide lucrative profits. All day long market makers do this, providing liquidity to individual and institutional investors. The major risk for the market maker is the time elapsed between the two transactions, the faster they can make the spread the more money they can potentially make.
However, making money from the differences in bid and ask prices is not the only function of market makers. Their first priority is to provide liquidity to their own firm's clients, for which they will receive a commission. They may also facilitate trading for other brokerage firms, very similar to the specialist's duties.
It should also be noted that market makers are required by law to give customers the best bid or ask price for each market order transaction. This ensures a fair and reasonable two-sided market. If these regulations were not in place, we would see customers getting gouged and share prices being much more volatile than they already are.

Market makers (sometimes referred to as "Ax") provide continuous bid and offer prices within a prescribed percentage spread for shares in which they are designated to make a market. There can be anywhere from 4 to 40 (or more) market makers for a particular stock depending on the average daily volume. The market makers play an important role in the secondary market as catalysts, particularly for enhancing stock liquidity and thus generally for promoting long-term growth the market.
Market makers must maintain continuous two-sided quotes (bid and ask) within a predefined spread. A market is created when the designated market maker quotes bids and offers over a period of time. They ensure there is a buyer for your sell order and a seller for your buy order at any time.
Once the market maker has entered a price, they are obligated to either buy or sell at least 1000 securities at that advertised price. Once the market maker has either bought or sold these shares they may then "leave the market" and enter a new bid or ask price to make a profit on their previous trade.
Let's say that a market maker has entered a sell order for Microsoft (MSFT) and the bid/ask is $65.25/$65.30. The market maker can try to sell shares of MSFT at $65.30, if they do, they can then turn around and enter a bid order to buy shares in MSFT. The market maker can bid higher or lower than the current bid of $65.25, if he/she enters a bid at $65.26 then a new market is created because their bid price is now the best bid. If the market maker attracts a seller at the new bid price of $65.26 then they have successfully "made the spread." The market maker sold 1000 shares at $65.30 and bought these shares back at $65.26. As a result, the market maker made $40 (1000 shares x 4 cents) on the difference between the two transactions. This might not seem like much, but doing this repeatedly with larger order sizes can provide lucrative profits. All day long market makers do this, providing liquidity to individual and institutional investors. The major risk for the market maker is the time elapsed between the two transactions, the faster they can make the spread the more money they can potentially make.

Anyhow - When referring to "21 days and counting" - what is the scoop on that? I bought a lot of QBID shares yesterday (well I seriously doubt enough to become a millionaire...). this also seems to be one of the biggest threads going...so.....I am taking a chance - and just bought it.

Anyway, the 21 (sept 1st or there abouts)days and counting, well, that's the date that QTN is suppose to be available to subscribing audiences. RCN services big metro areas like Chicago, NY, D.C. and a few other big cities if I'm not mistaken...So we are ALL waiting to hear about the NY office which should be opening soon, and we're waiting to hear about advertisers (MONEY for Q) (laugh)
hope this helps a little.

Good Heavens, I want that pr already!!! Growing a bit frustrated, must say.
Another question - I know this is the unknown and the name of the game, however if this all launches as expected (sooner the better) - what do some of you possibly see this moving to from .0055 or .0056 timewise?
Hope that helps.

I'm always conservative in my approach, but I know that we can easily go to 02...did it before, can do it again...this is the primary reason my goal is right around that point...
If we get those other contracts, I think we will a lot higher than 027-03...08? .36? Anyone's guess.)lol just hopeful.

At QBIDS current O/S
at 1.00 this company would be twice as large as Viacom. At .10 it would be a Billion dollar company. Come on people be realk and quit dreaming of being millionaires on a stock that can't go much past it 52 week high. And if you say well it was .40, then you still don't know nothing about the stock market. They would have to do a 100:1 R/S just to get close to the number of shares at that time and price. Yes penny stocks do things regular stocks don't but at some point the market does work and says this can't go that high.
I Myself would love a 1000% return at .054 myself and I am not about to think that this will do something impossible.

[This message has been edited by Ric (edited August 10, 2004).]
I suggest you check out how much Viacomm paid for BET, Black Entertainment Television...
It was in the Billions, and that was mid 1990's money...
A Gay Television Network has a huge money potential where BET did not have an equally disposable income.
I would see it reasonable that QTv would be able to show car commercials that the cars are over $50k, chances are you wouldn't see those same commercials on BET... the demogaphics are way to different.
The O/S isn't as important as how much market you can tap.
If the spending power is 500 Billion dollars, reaching only 3% of that spending power, or 15 Billion dollars, would make our market cap that much. Is reaching 3% of the cummunity that hard to do??? Seriously... if we reach only 10% of the Gay Market Spending power... we have an audiance with an estimated $50 Billion in spending power annually... That is ALOT of money...
-Byrd Brain Ideas-
no orders in today
So Viacom with a market cap of 4.5 billion. Your saying that QBID should be worth more then VIACOM an network empire. Thats stupid. QBID would never be Viacom. Yes there was many deals done before 1999 that nearly broke companys and now I would hope they have learned there lesson.
Man 1000% increase isn't enough. Can't talk to people who can't do math.

Math is not my stongest asset, but here goes, I think there is a middle ground here. Look at SIRI o/s 1,132.203 (millions). It was over four dollars back in the winter with only 150,000 subscribers. If our o/s is 9000 (millions), couldn't we have at least .25? I know this is comparing oranges to apples, but I am looking at potential beyond '04.
Lets say your right and they get to 10% of the 500 billion dollar market. Yes that 50 billion dollar. But there not giving QBID there 50 billion dollar. Thats crazy. Lets say that the qbid viewers spent even 10% of that on the companys that advertise on QBID which is 5 billion. Are you saying that the advertisers are going to give qbid all that money. Come on people lets get real here. They can't get to all the guy and lesbian community to start with. Being a pay service for one they would have to buy the service and not all will even get that oportunity. I just hope that everyone makes a fortune on this but just don't think that this will make you rich.

I agree, Its possible. You did great math there. But we also need to look at the market not wanted to return to the bubble. I would love to see .25 and it is possible. I personally don't think it will but .18 is possible on a run retracing to .12. I do see that as a possiblity and hope it happens. Still holdingg 100000 free shares in that hope. I had 2.5 million at .0008 and sold most at .017. I fell lucky on this stock already. Hope for more luck too.

When a company has something new to offer the public, PPS has nothing to do with the current revenues.
People buy the stock on revenue expectations.
Even with that said, the PPS and Market Cap can go WAY HIGHER than the company's worth.
AUML and many other stocks are prime examples of this.
Being that a G/L network...QBID...is totally new to the public, the PPS could, and probably will, well surpass the true value of the company.
Everyone I tell about QBID being the first G/L network launching in sept I get the same response "Man that's gonna be HUGE"
...And I agree

Hi all.
This is the reason I bought in. This is a market emerging.
(PS: Good luck Ric)
yes I also think QBID will be huge. not next month but in a few years if it is run correctly.
QBID easily has the potential to bring in 500 million a year in revenues and after a few years of buybacks at this low pps, could drastically reduce the O/S.
a buck a share sure it could happen even 2 or 3 bucks a share. over time with buybacks and increased reveneue and alot of carriers. yes it is a real possibility.
will I hang onto all My shares hoping to get rich. no but I will keep at least 1/3 position to see what 2007 and 2008 bring us.
unless things look grim.
also I only have a little over a half million shares at average of .0061 but I have little dount that anyone with 3 or 4 million shares can make a million dollars on this stock if everything goes well.

Sounds like an interesting conversation taking place...I'm not trying to be a downer, but we are definitely going to retreat more if new information is not released soon. Many people are still waiting on the advertising information discussed a few weeks ago on the hotline... So it is very likely we can see more of a retreat tomorrow...hang on. Could get bumpy. Also, people are getting skittish again because if you all remember this is about the time there were problems with Q a few years ago...we have a hurdle to jump. Think a little reassurance is needed to jumpstart pps. Again, just looking at all the angles here...Like most of you, I have alot of $$ tied up, so I want to see Q succeed as well. Finally, we are going to need another carrier to really achieve the confidence that Frank wants us to have. Wait and see...
Anyone reading Charts tonight?
Just had a chance to read all the posts again...just curious, that's all...no pressure to respond (laugh).

The PPS is riding just below the 20SMA and the 200SMA is literally piercing todays dark candle (not included on this chart).
08/01 THRU 08/03 A nice uptrend in anticipation of news on a potential newly added carrier and investors accumulating for the Sept. availabilitiy of Q Television on RCN Cable.
08/04 THRU 08/09 A period of consolidation with some selling for those who can't wait.
MACD - Crossed from below 4 days ago.
SLOW STO - About to cross downward.
WILLIAMS %R - Oversold and trending down towards a greater oversold territory.
There are about 3 weeks until Sept. The PPS can be brought down some more unless some PR is released concerning the anticipated advertising status, the advertising blitz, and/or a new carrier. These could aid in the launch of a stronger PPS. Until then more shaking the tree and consolidation.

joe they do have signed contracts but they are worded in such away that cant advertise or say they that the carrier is carring them untill they give qbid a start up date. so they can rufuse the contract at anytime its only valid if the carriers give them a start up date. those dates will be based on the reply qbid gets thru RCN. QBID and RCN and sponsers just had a big meeting inregards to the advertising blitz. i wasnt told what the came up with other than it starting next week.
Have a good evening. See you tomorrow.

Ric!
Your right! I don't know anything about the market. But I do know I can name alot of Broadcasting National TV Networks. What I can't name is any "genuine" Broadcasting National TV Networks that trade for under $1 a share. Keep your eyes open. You may be pleasantly surprised. By the way, I enjoy your realistic mindset when you post. It's not like I think you're a basher, just trying to keep it real.
In so far as 10 cents making this a billion dollar company,,,
This is not a prediction. This is a gaurantee.
QBID will easily be a 10 cent stock!
Personally I'm holding for more.

With all the outstanding shares, it is not unreasonable for QBID to have a share price of .05. That would be $450,000,000 if there were 9Billion shares like they estimate. When they initially launch, the PPS very well could skyrocket, but I can't see it maintaining over .05 for long IMHO. Maybe in the distant future after they are more established and have a reverse split.

Well, Lilpennypincher was up late last night doing her DD...she and her friends found awesome info about Q looking for gay surfers for a new reality show they are working on...The info is on page 26...definitely worth a long look. It all looks original and interesting. Go Q! (visualize--thongs, speedos and tight trunks...HMMMM. I'd watch) (laugh)
Hoping Frank throws us a bone because investors are growing anxious, especially this close to launch...need some new information and soon.
TOBP--sorry to hear about the divorce. Hopefully Q will come through for you, your family and for everyone invested. Keeping all flexible parts of my body crossed for good luck. (lol)
Ric--hope you and your wife are doing well. I will keep you both in my prayers and thoughts. Health in our home is the top priorty...first and foremost on my list of needs. Take care.

Ya'll this is going straight up. My brother met this dude that work at ABC and he ask him has he ever heard of QTV, He was like, yeah they are supposed to be launching in Sept right. My brother was like yeah and the guy at ABC said that that network will be huge. Then my brother asked him did he know if it was a penny stock. The guy at ABC was like, you got to be joking, WHat, send me some info right away. So alot of folks know about the network but they don't even know that it is publicly traded as a penny stock. Believe me, word will get out and this sucka is gonna be way more then .03 or .05. WE GONNA GET THIS MONEY.
You have your information backwards though.
First, if this goes to .12 then it a billion dollar company. ITS NOT WORTHLESS. A stock isn't valued on its PPS, its valued on its marketcap.
Second, most legitamate NEW company's don't start with 9 billion O/S. They do a R/S split so they can be listed on the exchanges.
Yes we will be a dolloar company after we bring our O/S down. Not before. I guarentee that. I have been in this market to long to believe otherwise. Maybe no other Network is at .10 when they go live. But no other Network went live with 9 Billion shares either.
This will be a great staock but you can't break the rules of the market for long without it coming back on you.
Ric
do you agree that this is possible or are you convinced frank will do a R/S even though he has stated he never will.
I personally am very appreciative that
Skendo (Level 2's), King Crimson, Crazy, TOBP, Famtrecrew, gopack, byrdturd, poot poot, LilPenny, MW, Crosseyed, SingleDad 703, HopefulTrader and Cashrules have posted in the last few days. Shows that people are aware of QBID and while we are LITERALLY waiting on new information...think DD on QTN has been about bled dry...having a friendly chat is acceptable. If this is a new form of bashing, well, then...that just takes the cake, because I thought people wanted to earn money, not throw it away. I don't think anyone here is Bashing...unless Webster has changed the definition (laugh). Think everyone brings varying perspectives and opinions...all differenct, which is good for the soul.
Know that Diana was bullied away (...Really miss reading her posts and her DD)...and a lot of previous posters sold when they saw the downtrend. If I remember correctly, a lot of them said they would jump back on QBID once more concrete info was out, which would hopefully be in late August or early September.
In previous QBID threads (think many are still on Allstock) people expressed their concern about the way Frank handles pr and committments. This made people wary. So, hope this answers your question about where previous posters have gone.
BTW, we just "bashed" our way up to 0053.

IMHO.do you agree that this is possible or are you convinced frank will do a R/S even though he has stated he never will.
No its possible. Very possible. I am just saying in the short term only that a R/S would be required. Your exactly right.

Like I've said, I think we NEED to hear all of the varying views, for better or worse. I WANT to hear everything. My head is not in the sand(Laugh).
Hope all is well with you and your family.
I think you set wise safe goals for yourself which in turn is usually what brings the profit in consistantly. I usually try to be more realistic also.
what has me worried this time is I see greed creeping into my heart and everytime I have got greedy with a stock before I ended up missing the boat and holding too long and loosing money. its always better to be safe than sorry. IMO
sunny yes we are supposed to not call QTN and bug them for awhile but I have a nice chunk invested already and was thinking of investing a large chunk soon and I feel I should at least call and speak with frank once before investing that kind of money on long term.
I have been trying to catch him for 2 weeks now. whatever frank tells me over the phone when I do speak with him I will not report as I cant expect him to open up with me if I am gonna broadcast it but the little tidbits I get from the receptionist I dont feel is confidential.
glta and God Bless
Has anyone seen or know of anyone that saw one of the preview shows they have shown (I think they have shown a couple..) - just curious to opinions....especially an opinion of a gay person.
P.S. I try not to be greedy either. I will take a reasonable profit and be happy...for me that is about the 03 range. Anything beyond that, (for Me) I consider a huge financial gift from God (smile).
Spinoff--All I can say is use your best judgement. Everything these days is risky, especially with the overall Market tanking. If you invest, start slow. Invest a little and see how it goes. As far as QTN goes, well, we are waiting on news about additional carriers, advertising and a NY office. I have friends who are waiting to jump in after more news is released...and they all recognize that momentum may carry this thing quick once news does come out. But, there are no guarantees...just hope and a ton of DD! (laugh)

lets see not sure who I got the first two times it was something like margaret I think but had a mans voice instead of a womans lol.
never asked nor got the name of the lady I spoke with yesterday.

I think that it could go that high--may come right back down. Remember, most shareholders will be ready for some profit taking. I'm fairly new to pennyland. This is an unique stock, but it can't get too far out of range without reducing the o/s. Believe me, I want this to soar as much as anyone--it will but it will just take time. I also believe that the QBID staff is working hard and will release info as soon as it is possible.

if it makes it to .05 I sell 1/6th and make my investment back, starting at .1 I make good profit if it never gets to 1.50 well then so be it but this is what I am hoping for

Again, this is comparing apples and oranges, but earlier a buyback for QBID was announced for October. Reducing our o/s by 2/3 could it not bring us possibly into a $3 range? Plus, with XM and SIRI, an additional purchase of equipment is necessary. Most people already have TV and cable. I agree, at this point, the o/s is an obstacle.
Thats what I see as a potenial problem for QBID shareholders though. There was so many companies that did trade over valued that a lot of people are scared to invest in a unproven company. Not saying it can't happen but I wouldn't want to invest in a company like that. Got burnt real bad myself. I owned AtHome (they were a search engines power house a couple years back) in its hay day. I still own 500 shares. There worthless but I own them, paid $30 a share for them. It will take a lot to overcome fear and just don't see it putting a premium right now. If that was so then I think we would be higher then we are right now. Everyone keeps saying that they talked to someone who says this is going to be hugh. Well if we know for a fact its going to be hugh weres the beef. We think, we hope, and we pray but no one knows for sure. Unless a buyout occurs in the near future though, I just don't see it. right now frank is building a network so I don't see a near term buyback either. Were would he get that money. JMHO

My portfolio is bleeding red all over the place. I got burned bad on CYTO--after the split ended up with a few shares. It's moving again, though. Right now, TFCT, GMED, ALMI and a few more are looking promising again. I think your're right--the bubble days are over.

Of course not everyone is Gay or Lesbian but look at these numbers. Anyone who doesn't have RCN and wants it, can order it.
Population by city's that RCN supports.
NYC = 8,008,278
Chicago = 2,896,016
Philadelphia = 1,517,550
San Fransisco = 776,733
Boston = 589,141
Washington DC = 572,059
Total People Q Telelvision will be viewable for is 14,359,777!!
This is going to be bigger then I thought!
Love all the info about our QTN being available to NY and other big cities. My sister lives in upstate NY and I'll give her a call this morning...I'm want to see who her cable provider is...and if they are going to offer QTN...(hope) I'll let everyone know what I find out.
Can't wait for this to all HAPPEN!! We are getting so close to this thing just exploding--Would love to hear all this from the horses (Frank's) mouth, but if the animals are talking, then I'm a'listening!! May need to up my meds though (laugh)
Here's hoping we all have a great day...good to see 1Big back!! GLTA!
Get the word out!!
I went back and reviewed previous pr's and noticed that the last three were about 6/7 days apart and we also received the occasional hotline update...we are now up to 9 without news...and a cancelled hotline...So, if nothing comes out tomorrow, we go into 2 weeks without news.
Crosseyed--grab some rope, we may need to lasso this baby and hold it up!! (laugh)
[This message has been edited by sunny (edited August 12, 2004).]
Only about 3 weeks left. Get more while you can.
IMHO
Also starting to think that it is about time to start bombarding the Q office and ask them what the heck is up already...This has become ridiculous...we're little more than 2 weeks away and we still don't know how things are looking!! Bites. Speaking of bites..
While out, I will purchase a big candy bar, large coke for energy purposes alone...I'll also get some heavy-duty rope and duct tape to hold the pps line!! (laugh) unbelievable!
Does anyone have L2's.

Just relax, grab a twix & go outside.

Don't let that guy get your hopes up. He pops his head in here every once in a while and throws in a senseless pump. He usually says he hears things from his friends on Wall Street, except that Q is not traded on Wall Street. If a PR like that ever comes out, even a year from now, he'll be back on here saying I told you so. He does the same thing over on the CMKX thread. His comments are as useless as a basher that comes on here and says, "sell now but I can't tell you why." He never backs up any statements he makes with DD or any type of evidence, and when he gets criticized his only reply is that whoever doubts him has no idea of how the market works. Don't let mislead you Sunny, he's been doing this since before you came on here.
I am not a pumper. I know why stocks better then you. I will run circles around you. I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars on the market.

McGreevey Resigns Abruptly Over Homosexual Affair
New Jersey Governor Will Quit Nov. 15, Says 'I Am a Gay American'
TRENTON, N.J. (Aug. 12) - In a stunning declaration, Gov. James E. McGreevey acknowledged that he had an extramarital affair with another man and announced his resignation Thursday. ''My truth is that I am a gay American,'' he said.
''Shamefully, I engaged in adult consensual affairs with another man, which violates my bonds of matrimony,'' the married father of two said. ''It was wrong, it was foolish, it was inexcusable.''
The Democrat said his resignation would be effective Nov. 15.
McGreevey said he would step down because his secret - both his sexuality and his affair - leaves the governor's office vulnerable.
The former suburban mayor took office 2 1/2 years ago, and despite inheriting a $5 billion budget deficit, he steadfastly refused to boost income taxes for most New Jerseyans, instead raising taxes on millionaires, casinos and cigarettes.

But he has been dogged by several scandals involving fund-raising.
Among those caught up in recent scandals were his first chief of staff and former counsel; a top Democratic fund-raiser and former high school classmate; and real estate developer Charles Kushner, McGreevey's biggest campaign contributor, who was charged with trying to thwart a federal campaign-finance investigation by luring a grand jury witness - his own brother-in-law - into a compromising position with a prostitute and sending video and photos to the man's wife.
McGreevey would be the second governor to resign in weeks, following the resignation in June of Connecticut GOP Gov. John Rowland amid corruption investigations and threats of impeachment.
McGreevey rose from suburban mayor to state chief executive by his tenacious pursuit of party politics, maintaining a power base days after he narrowly lost to Republican Christie Whitman in 1997.
McGreevey never truly stopped that campaign until he won in November 2001, beating Republican Bret Schundler by 15 percentage points.
Born in Jersey City, McGreevey graduated from Columbia University in 1978. He earned a law degree from Georgetown University in 1981 and a master's degree in education from Harvard University a year later.
After briefly serving as a county prosecutor, McGreevey became a lobbyist for a pharmaceutical company, then a state government official. While in the Legislature, McGreevey voted for Gov. Jim Florio's $2.8 billion tax hike that prompted a voter rebellion against Democrats.

Then, I thought that once this has died down a bit, wouldn't it be good if the Q could do a news piece or feature type show on him...interview him regarding personal struggles and challenges and then of course the end of his governorship...Thought it could be an introspective piece which would be even more insightful if his wife agreed to discuss this too. Thought this type of relevant show would be appropriate for our QTN...I'm sure QTN viewers would find this interesting.
Hope Frank and his executives are thinking this way, too. If they ever run out of ideas, all they have to do is look up QBID on Allstocks (laugh). Think we all could make some extra money as paid "creative consultants" (lol) These days I seem to be thinking about what would appeal to gays and lesbians... freaks my husband out when I start talking about all my QTN ideas (laugh).
I do feel for the man's family. They must be struggling with everything they've just learned...hope the children are okay. Changes like these are not easy for adults let alone kids.
Hope tomorrow is a good day for QBID.
As I was adding my wifes favorite channels, I came across "Here" channel. It was so weird seeing it but it was like a nice breeze came through to me on this hot, muggy summer day.
Thinking about Seeing QTN on cable or Satelite will be the best sight I will ever see! Knowing I got in for less then 1 cent is priceless!
here was only avialable through subscription purchase to that channel.
That's all I know for now.
Will say that if a company carries QTN in my area and not Time Warner, I'll be switching carriers! I want my QTN!

Decided to leave early and hit the racetracks, the surf hits the turf down at old Del Mar. "I know why stocks better than you"?
I don't really understand what that means, but I do know that for someone who claims to have made so much money in the market, you should be able to afford an English tutor.
Look Sarki, your predictions change every month. When they are not right one month, you change what you said until the next one. Anyone who has been on this board for a while knows this. You are a joke and so is everything you say. You may get lucky and predict something, but most likely you won't. Will I leave the board? Not probable. I have been an Allstocks member for many years and will not leave because some pumper may get 1 out of every 100 predictions right.
I used to be one of the biggest QBID cheerleaders, and have since changed from a long term holder to daytrading this stock and have made some good money in the process. I'm not bashing or trying to stir up old debates, because they have been aired, so I'll leave it at that as far as the validity of this stock.
Anyone who has been on this thread for a while knows that I have always taken the good and the bad and weighed both sides of the equation. However, when ever I posted a reply to anything, I always gave a reason or some DD to back what I think. I can not say the same for you.
I have been lurking for a while and will go back to doing so. I apologize to all the valid members of this board for rehashing any old squirmishes. All the old posters will realize what I am saying, and anyone who is new, who has the time, go back and read the old threads and you will see what I mean. Good luck everyone.
if you have a decent position and start taking it down, uncle wants his capital gains. i think .30 is realistic at some point. at .10, i start gifting 100k blocks to my kids--that's $10k. you can gift up to $11k per calendar year to as many people as you want. you have no capital gains, they only pay capital gains on the pps appreciation from where they got it.
if you plan on holding some long term, and the pps keeps going up like we all want it to, this could be helpful. i thought about you with your kids, and you know you can set up custodial accounts for them. might save taxes, and help with kids future. just thinking out loud--we were talking kids and pets the other day. ok to disregard all of this. but it might be something for you to do some dd on--my kids are of age, so i'm not sure of the particulars with minors.
remember--all hypothetical now. now if the pps hits a dime before the end of the year, i can do it all again after the 1st of the year. you could do a split thing with your parents--whatever. but think about it BEFORE you just go cash out. glty--kc
If theres no party, I'll seriously buy a ticket to Vegas just to meet some of you.
At .02 I could get the JetSki I always wanted, BUT WONT.
At .03 I could pay off all my debt, BUT WONT.
At .04 I could pay cash for a Nissan300Z, BUT WONT.
At .10 I can put 20% down on huge house, BUT I WONT.
I AM IN UNTIL I SEE $1! 1 yr, 2 yrs, 5 yrs, whatever... This is my retirment investment.

LETTER FROM FRANK OLSEN, CEO OF Q TELEVISION NETWORK
August 11, 2004
Dear Shareholders,
We just returned from a three-day retreat in Seattle. In attendance were Tim Orden, our in-house VP of Public Relations; Barbara Lamont from our Teleport company in New Orleans; Jeffrey Ory from Deveney, our PR company; Scott Seger our VP of Advertising Sales in New York and representatives from our Investor Relations department. There were also cable company reps there, as well as potential advertisers. We discussed our plans for Q Television over the next 30 days, 90 days and 120 days.
RCN told us today they have been “inundated” with calls requesting Q Television and they are very excited about the September launch. They will begin promoting Q Television on their stations next week and we will also be targeting the RCN cities where Q will be carried.
We have received approximately 100,000 calls over the past two months on our 800 number. The majority of the calls related to the caller’s request for carriage. We believe most shareholders will want to watch Q to see what they own. We are currently in negotiations with the major cable and satellite companies, plus many other small cable companies. Some of the cable companies we have already signed, but you could help with some of the other cable and satellite carriers.
We need you to call your local cable company and/or satellite provider and ask them to carry the Q Television Network as part of the fall line-up. Remember, all such providers have Caller ID, so one person calling 200 times a day from the same phone is not going to help. One person calling every week does help because that just means you are a persistent customer. This doesn’t mean we are desperate, but it will help close the contracts, particularly where management is sitting on the fence. For example, one gentleman I spoke to only has 1500 clients, but he received 60 calls asking for Q Television in the last two weeks. He immediately called me and said he wanted to carry Q Television and we are putting his contract together now. This shows how important your calls are. If the cable company wants to reach Q Television regarding carriage, they should call Rene Schenk and he can be reached on 877-875-6300.
Once you’ve called your local cable company, send an email to info@qtelevision.com and let us know the name of the carrier you called and your zip code. By the way, if you are one of the 100,000 who called our 800 number in the last two months, you will be receiving an automated call asking you to call your local cable company, but you don’t have to wait for that call. Also, ask your friends to call. It only helps.
We will be putting information out in the national press soon. During the week of the national convention it might be slow because the press will so busy, but before and after we will have general press coverage. This helps to raise awareness of Q Television and generates interest therein.
One other item I would like to mention is that we are very proud to announce that we have sponsors in most areas of the country for any people who are housebound with AIDS. We are going to pay for their basic cable and provide the $7.95 per month subscription to Q Television Network at no charge. This means we are truly a gay channel for the gay community.
This weekend we shot pilots for WOW!, Q The Music, Qewsbreak, Q on the Move and Yestergay. Today I will sort through the pilots and daily production will begin next week. Q will be jumping out of the box and ready to go on September 4th.

I'm with you BigTip!
I'm holding what I have long term regardless how long that "term" is. I want $1 plus per share. I've held stocks with less potential than this for 2 or more years. My dicipline is tested. When I identified my core position that was it. I don't care what people say or write. The shares I'm holding now will go for $1 plus!
I might buy a position for trading but my core stays put!

Nice!!!!
For Your information- i read usa today this morning, an article about product placement across big tv networks etc. heavy players are considering 20th of september as an official start up date of fall tv season.
Do not position yourself to expect Q launch as of 1st september. it may be mid or end of september etc.
This news on Q website will force anonymous lurker to increase stake in his short term lot!!!
Go Q GO!!!

Paying for their Q? Unbelievable. That's the smartest thing he thought about. You know what kind of awareness that will bring? Also the fact that they will see Q Telelvision as a generous class act network.
Great Job Frank.
The only calling I'll do is to local cable companies requesting them.
LETS GET TO WORK ON THAT!

Q-bidders should be very excited about all of this.
NOW LET'S HIT THE PHONES!!!!
So glad I got my sister to email Adelphia last night!! Poor thing, she doesn't know I'm going to ask her to do it AGAIN and AGAIN(Laugh).
I'll be phoning Time Warner today from home and cell (lol) Maybe I can bribe some of my more liberal neighbors to phone Warner with cookies too (lol)
King Crimson--lost my mom and dad in the last two years (very hard)... before her passing we were able to give gifts to her grandchildren for college. Thanks for the investing tips for my children, though. I hadn't really thought that far ahead as far as big profits go. Good info to have. Thanks again. You are definitely thinking AHEAD!!
Wishing us all a great day...glad to be on this ride with you guys. (smile)
Thanks 1Big for the lessons in patience!
2 • A retreat to meet with cable reps and potential advertisers --- good.
3 • Sponsors paying for AIDS shut-ins to receive QTN --- surprisingly good.
4 • Shooting pilots --- good.
5 • Still not successful in closing a deal with another major cable company, and needing the help of investors --- hmmm, not so good.
Nonetheless, this needs to be on an official PR! Except for #5, this is very upbeat.
"This weekend we shot pilots for WOW!, Q The Music, Qewsbreak, Q on the Move and Yestergay. Today I will sort through the pilots and daily production will begin next week. Q will be jumping out of the box and ready to go on September 4th."
Again, this is awesome news. Thinking Frank should have put most of this info out as an official pr...think providing his network to home bound AIDS victims is worthy of coverage from the media--newspapers, local tv...magazine features...JMHO. It's offers a good example that other companies should follow.
Let's all just take a moment to remember pharmdman and others, as they are in the Tampa area, focusing on things far more important than the fluctuation of a decimal point on their screen today.

Sounds like they may work it through agencies that are already working with those that have the disease, that would somewhat protect their privacy. I think the intention is great, can't have a negative effect that I can think of.

I'm in Tampa. We're all hoping it'll track more to the east, that way we'll be on the "left" side of the hurricane, which is the less intense side. Whoever ends up at the eye or on the "right" side is going to get most of the storm surge and most of the tornadoes.
Okay. Maybe not.

I was born and raised in Clearwater so I've seen a few. Lived out of state since the early 90's. Being a bit of a storm junkie I kind of miss the excitement, although I know how very serious and dangerious these things can be. Projected track map shows it comming right up Tampa Bay, which I'd think would be better than going a little more west. In any event, good luck weathering the storm!

Frank's letter states that info for the general press will be coming out before and after the convention.

I spoke with several different cable companies today. One wanted not only my name and phone number, but wanted to know why I was interested in QTN and if I thought it would be accepted. I told him about the free access for Aids patients, the consumer power of this untapped audience and that QTN would provide a resource for families pertinent to their individual circumstances--such as children of gay parents. I also emphasized that is was not porn--it is a family channel. I also reminded him that MTV/Viacom/LOGO will be airing next year and QTN being first will set the benchmark. In other words--buy from us now or from Redmond later. He took notes and promised to forward my comments to the appropriate persons. I also did some emails. It did not take much time. Actually, it cost me nothing--not even a stamp--and it could possibly pay me big dividends in the future. GLTA Go QBID!!!!

Thank you for contacting Comcast Cable of Reading regarding the addition
of Q Television Network to the Comcast line-up. Currently, that channel
is unavailable in your area.
------------------
IN SUB-PENNY WE TRUST
Cable, Satelite & other media companies send out 'AUTOMATED" responses. Please understand the difference between that and a personal response. The most usual responses are something in the lines of "we don't have it available but we've added channel from peoples feedbacks."
I do however thank you and others in contacting cable companies. We are the ones who will help QTN lead the way.
Why pay employees when you have investors who can help?

I wish I knew which ones but doesnt matter I guess knowing there are other carriers even if they are small ones is definitely a step in the right direction.
I have a feeling the big carriers are gonna sit and watch and see how many of RCN's 486,000 customers subscribe to QTN. which is kinda why I have always expected this to be more of a slow growth long term situation.
still hanging in for a buck though even if it takes 3 or 4 years.
sorry I cant help call the cable companies at the moment cause I can hardly speak had a wisdom tooth pulled.
I had not long ago though called comcast in seattle and cox cable here in oklahoma. I will call direct tv(which I am a customer of) next week and I will call cox again(which I still have my fathers cable service in my name)
glta and hope we land the big fish soon. lol
My sister-in-law lives in Philly and she contacted RCN who said that indeed it would be available the first week of September and that they have had a lot of calls regarding QTN. She also saw a RCN cable service truck and stopped to confirm this with the tech which he did.
I know things aren't going to well with RCN financially but personally I think this is a great opportunity for them. They are at a point at which they will be able to help promote and provide a service that none of the other cable companies like Cox, Comcast, Time Warner and such does not provide at this time. Controversy sells. I am sure that once the larger cable companies see's the actual potential that QTN has to offer, and they will also be signing contracts. They are essentially getting a free market analysis for the products potential by observing the response that RCN gets for QBID....good business if you ask me.
I'm in no hurry to sell my shares. As long as the news continues to be good and they keep following through with their actions I will be in. I've traded her for position since February and at this point I am content to sit and watch QBID take off.
My guess is we will continue to see more consolidation until we get confirmation that RCN is actually advertising QTN as a subscription service. We may get one more shake but with Sept. 4th just around the corner it will be short and sweet.
By October I hope we start to see more contract opportunites and Franks acknowledgement that indeed a buyback has taken place....if this is the case then I will make an early conservative prediction of .05-.07 by the middle of October but this is dependant on the number of contracts signed, subscriptions, advertisers and the buyback so if the news keeps getting better we could see a much larger gain. With the election in November and gay and lesbian marriages being scrutinized across the country, QTN has to make this happen now.
Patience is always the hardest part-----best of luck.
thanks
Patience is the key right here with Q!

will help make QTv a conversation piece amongst these communities September isn't that far away and the more and more closer we get to our air date, the more and more I see how far things have moved since Feb. 2004
We are almost there, just a few more weeks...
thanks for reminding me to email frank with my zip code I will mkae a note of that I had already forgotten.
How you doing with that wisdom tooth (or lack of) 1Big and I both have talked about dental stuff...we both pretty much dislike everything about dentistry (lol)...Certainly hope you are feeling better. Nothing fun about having a wisdom tooth pulled. OUCH.
So what did you think about Frank's letter? I thought it was darn good. Wished, however, that it had gone out in a press release...maybe rewritten to be more formal for a real release...Thought it was worth others outside the QBID cirlce reading it. Good information there.
Has anyone heard from our Pharm?

Q Television Announces Fall Line-up
While much of the media's attention has been focused on Viacom's plans to launch gay channel LOGO, Q Television has been quietly moving ahead for its launch in September.
This week Q announced the line-up of shows that are currently in production. Executive Vice President Steve Grunberg says that the list of programming is indicative of the kind of programming Q Television Network will be showing and notes that the list is only partial and will be extended as new and fresh programming ideas are worked out.
GAY AND LESBIAN HISTORY WITH MELINDA
This is a show dedicated to the social, political and civil rights of our time from the past to the present. Highlights will include events, parties, parades, politicians, entertainers and human interest stories, including the start of the AIDS crisis in the 80s and much, much more.
WOW! WOMEN ON WOMEN
WOW is a lesbian talk show dedicated to issues covering all women. Guests will include authors, entertainers, politicians and homemakers. Topics covered will include healthcare, child care, the latest fashions, travel tips, lesbian and gay adoption, reproductive rights, politics and issues concerning women all over the world.
QEWS BREAK
This will be a five minute snapshot of issues concerning the gay and lesbian community on a local, state, national and international level. If it's important to you, it will be on Q.
Q ON THE MOVE
This is a show shot entirely on location all over the country covering gay and lesbian events, human interest stories, and fun happenings across the USA. We will tell you where to go, where to stay and what's happening. Your host, Nick, will provide a provocative spin on all the towns he visits and it might be yours!
Other shows currently in development for production are:
Gay Court: sometimes serious, sometimes silly, but always a great campy look at gay and lesbian issues from the bench.
Giggles: A comedy program featuring gay and lesbian comics.
Student Union: A soap opera telling the stories of a new gay kid during his first year in college.
Documentaries: Continuing from our premiere documentary "I Will, I Do, We Did" we will have a new slate of timely, informative and educational documentaries.
Q Television will run 24/7 via satellite and the company says the number of cable companies signing on is growing.
Grunberg says that while the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, Q also believes that quality programming will attract many other segments of the viewing public.
Q Television will be available on a subscription basis.
Meanwhile, pay per view satellite network here! TV has teamed with Michelle Darne, founder and publisher of And Baby magazine, to produce "here! Family," a series on gay parenting.
The network says that Darne will host the half-hour, 12-episode series, which will focus on gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender parenting topics, including methods of conceiving a child, adoption, domestic partnership legislation, custody issues and the act of "coming out" to children. It is set to premiere in November.

I liked franks letter and agree yes would have been better in a pr but the pr's will come eventually. the tooth hurts a little but not too much staying pretty doped up on lortabs lol. ty for your concern.
I am gonna go look at the lawn mower and decide weather to mow or not this morning lol. take care sunny and have a great day.
loooking to buy some more on Monday and riding it up.
I would like to see a PR out though
we should at least be back up to the .015 area before launch.
GLTA
As long as it stays this cheap, I'll be adding more to my position. It's so nice taking the ride up with QBID.
I got in before the rush in April and know how it feels. That was just a taste and preview of things to come.
We'll see our 52 week highs pretty soon!
Sell when price inflates, buy when price deflates.

I'm looking for 5 cents before November & hope to see 10 cents by Christmas. If everthing goes well that projection could be conservative.

New Info: RE O/S
The O/S is a little larger than what i reported in the past. It seems to be about 9.5 billion. Frank Owns between 51-53% according to the audit. Frank will retire 25% of his shares within the next six months. His voting rights will not be lost and will remain in control. The company has founding sponsers.(if any of you remember that you know its a good thing) Major drug compaines are paying for the basic cable service and Q in the homes of AIDS victims.
The company has paid its taxes. Liquidation by sattellite is QTN major source of income. It is a company in Seattle that frank has ran for years. Filings for the OTCBB will be completed betwen Dec and Jan. The buyback will continue but it will be slow. They have a network to run. Adv are jumping on board..Car companies and credit card companies.
Good luck to all it will be an exciting rollar coster ride for the next six months...peace

Not sure what the buyback will do to the PPS. I never been through it and never researched it.

I don't really understand what that means, but I do know that for someone who claims to have made so much money in the market, you should be able to afford an English tutor.
Look Sarki, your predictions change every month. When they are not right one month, you change what you said until the next one. Anyone who has been on this board for a while knows this. You are a joke and so is everything you say. You may get lucky and predict something, but most likely you won't. Will I leave the board? Not probable. I have been an Allstocks member for many years and will not leave because some pumper may get 1 out of every 100 predictions right.
I used to be one of the biggest QBID cheerleaders, and have since changed from a long term holder to daytrading this stock and have made some good money in the process. I'm not bashing or trying to stir up old debates, because they have been aired, so I'll leave it at that as far as the validity of this stock.
Anyone who has been on this thread for a while knows that I have always taken the good and the bad and weighed both sides of the equation. However, when ever I posted a reply to anything, I always gave a reason or some DD to back what I think. I can not say the same for you.
I have been lurking for a while and will go back to doing so. I apologize to all the valid members of this board for rehashing any old squirmishes. All the old posters will realize what I am saying, and anyone who is new, who has the time, go back and read the old threads and you will see what I mean. Good luck everyone.
CHEERS--OK--I AM BACK TO LURK MODE!! STILL HERE!!

Nuke, Dynamite, TNT, Liquid Hydrogen, Nitroglycerine--you name it--if it's explosive it's in our portfolios! QBID is rock'n. What a thrill to come home and read this board--maybe I should go away more often! Great to hear from Diana, Anonymous, Whiz, 1BigTip and all of you other reliables.
I'm finding that the fields for name, etc. is required on all of the carrier sites if cookies is disabled--I had to provide info.
Read the info on the Boston Exchange--apparently it has some advantages including added trading security and allowing listing on the Nas also. Listing provides trading in 10 states????? This is the week before the next convention, QBID ads should be coming out soon. I've said it before but will say it again, this train has left the station. . . .but Whiz, you say it best, "All we ever had to do was launch!"
Any thoughts on the info@qtelevision.com emails about carriers? Would seperate emails with the carrier and zipcode listed in the subject area streamline the staffs disaggregation of all of our data? Or would it be better to clump all of the info into one email?
GLTA, Go QBID!

who know's he may have been lying....But he was the same one that told me info would be out today. he also said exc flew to new york for meetings....RCN was already completed, the company gave us hints for weeks. you do the math... i have nothing to new to give nor will i predict. I will give it to you as i get it and facts only.
follow up RE: Direct tv
IN the past i spoke of direct tv. My source had informed me about negoations taking place. I was told it was a done deal. The only thing going on with q and direct tv is meetings, the same with our old friend "Dish"
goodluck
PS; same source reconfrimed funding for the next 5 years. Frank did take a loan against his company and private investors, "not sharholders" but priavte investors put a ton of cash into Q....NO MORE SELLING OF SHARES
Paperwork for fillings will begin in Oct...but won't be filled until dec.
hope this helps

The new financing will not hurt the shareholders. It is for the network,
which should help the shareholders. I don't know anything about Frank's
shares. I think there will be a buyback once some revenue is coming in,
but that is up to Frank and the Board Directors as to when. Right now we
are all working hard to get the network ready.
Just enjoy reading his posts and know that he "knows" !
Demuse, if your reading, please start posting here. I will not expose you.
Thanks!
AS LURKER SAYS: NORTHPOLE!!!!!!!
Some people will honestly be totally shocked if a company with 9 billion shares O/S actually hits a buck. Most have never heard of companies like MSFT with 11 billion O/S.
When people come to realize the cash flow & revenue that Broadcasting National TV Networks command it really should not be a surprise!
It won't happen overnight. But without even a struggle if the gay community makes this there Baby we will see $1 a share guaranteed!
First to launch = lions share of subscribers!
Fortune 500 Companies looking for a way to advertise to G/L community.
Because they want exposure to that,,,
HALF TRILLION DOLLAR DISPOSABLE INCOME OF OUR TARGET AUDEANCE!
Anybody think BET's target audience weilded that kind of financial clout? WRONG!
It's not a lock! If Frank tried really hard he could mess this up but it's not likely. That's right! Some have said everything has to "fall" in place perfectly for this to work.
***NEWS FLASH!***
The opposite is true.
****Everything's "ALREADY" in place!****

scraped up another 850 bucks gonna wire it tomorrow and watch and see what happens with the pps.
whiz I dont doubt that this can climb to a buck or beyond but the wait is gonna kill me lol.
I was looking at univision awhile back and noticed they had 1.3 billion a year in revenue and if I remember right about 23 million hispanics estimated that watch that channel. of course they have a low O/S but never know Q may have a low O/S one day too.
Just read all of the posts and they are excellent! More coverage, more rumors (love 'em when they're juicy...lol), and appears almost all the old gang is here and some new ones, too! Yeah.
Already wondering what tomorrow will bring us! Hopefully it will all be goooood!
Anonymous...and Firefly....between the two of you, I'm trekking to the Pole...and with the martinis that Firefly is supplying, I'll be completely tanked and warm (Laugh)!
1Big--thanks for posting all of the guys previous posts...helps remind us of all the good things that have come Q's way! Great info to read again.
MW--glad to know you are doing better. Tell Crosseyed hello from TX...See you tomorrow.
Suzanniee--congrats on the anniversary! Hope you had a great weekend getaway.

TA for Monday:
Well folks I said that in order for us to breakout we needed to break the downtrending RSI line and I still hold it to be true. When we do I think that the pps will rise significantly. Notice how we're still in consolidation. I think most people are simply holding shares right now awaiting news of advertising or new carriage contracts as sson as this info is released I think we'll break the downtrending RSI line and break out. I failed to realize it until recently but I found this weekend that we're now trading in a falling wedge reversal pattern. Someone asked me the other day what the a positive divergence in MACD had to do with a reversal being that we were still consolidating? Do yourself a favor and check out the link posted below show about falling wedge reversals. If you look at the chart of Rowan Companies Inc. you'll see a falling wedge pattern accompanied by positive MACD divergence prior to the breakout above the downtrending channel line. In addition you'll notice that the CMF had already started to reverse prior to the breakout. It appears to me that we've reached our bottom on the CMF and are now beginning a recovery phase. We are forming an identical pattern here. I beleive it's just a matter of time before we breakout. Until I see something that changes my mind I will not sell here. Take some time and compare it to the chart of qbid posted below also. See ya tomorrow!

Well, here's hoping that QBID is the ONLY thing of yours that moves up "inch by inch" today.
Happy birthday, sunny. Your user name has accurately described your contribution to Allstocks.
Your demeaner here on the forum reminds me of the main character in Legally Blonde. I mean that as a high compliment. The characteristics that I see that are comparable are your smile, your easy manner and your unintimidating intelligence. You really bring sunshine to this forum.
May your day be filled with joy!

Thanks for offering up the good wishes...although Winsum is trying to bait me into 'off topic' banter...you know I have no impulse control (laugh)...come on, you know the "inch by inch" thing is killing me...I could go completely QQQQ here! (LOL) And thanks Dakota for the compliment.. you're too kind..(smile)
Really, appreciate all the good wishes...think you all are really wonderful and nice...supportive, smart and very humorous!! Always make me laugh just when I really need to smile! (See, there is a kind Board out there).

I am feeling good ty (as far as the tooth or lack of tooth is concerned) but I wish I had 30 million at .0001 lol I am greedy I will never be able to get enough qbid shares lol.
just spent an hour on hold waiting for a directv rep finally got thru requested QTN he had to put me on hold for a few minutes came back said he could not find any information about that network but said he put in a comment to directv requesting that I be notified as to if and when it will be available.
Now look what OMOG has done recently, thats what we can expect from QBID. See the OMOG rise from .0020 to .0080? Watch QBID rise from .0050 to .015 just as fast.

1BigTip--I love it when you talk charts!! All of that sounds awesome!! (when's your b-day?)
Really do think we are in serious need of a FORMAL press release, though. Come on Frankie...
bring on the carriers and the advertisers any time. and the info on the web site would do us some good in a pr format.

10-Q very much.
The numbers caught me by suprise. being they have 400k+ subscribers, One would assume they are charging at least $30/mth for cable so one would think they would be generating 1.2 million dollars a month!
Revenues:
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased $6,820, or
6.0%, to $121,281 from $114,461 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Revenues from residential customers receiving voice, video and high-speed data increased $8,139, or 8.0%, to $109,827 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $101,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Due to increased competition in all markets, the Company is currently experiencing slower revenue growth than what was disclosed in its previous public filings. While the average number of customers increased slightly for the quarter, services per residential customer increased to 2.46 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, or 7.4% from 2.29 services per residential customer for the comparable period in 2003. The growth in services resulted from increases in network connections for voice, . . .

Thanks Winsum for the chart. Do you remember Ron's post about RCN getting the contract for the Time Warner Condos? RCN has the most bundle services, and those services are providing the company's growth. QBID should provide additional growth,too.
Happy Birthday to all QBID Leos!

bashers read this Comcast to carry QTVN?>
Boy these are sure adding up, Don't forget the phone call i made to Comcast and got "yes Comcast will be airing Q-television" also.
Posted By: ezram1 Msg# 54428 of 54429
Hi All.
i rarely post, but i value most postings.
while calling Comcast about my bill here in the Philadelphia, area... i decided to ask abt whether they will offer QTV....
The lady says it will happen SOON, no time frame was given... She went further to say we will be advising our customers of the scheduling when its official...
I wasnt sure if she was just making conversation since i had just paid my past due account, so I asked if she knew what sort of a channel it was, so she said I'm not sure but u shld be getting that information SOON once its official...
now she was only a CSR in billing dept... and am not sure if this is all valid,,, but if it is.... I know where my MONEY's AT!!!!!
invest what u can afford to lose... and this is just an FYI coz I appreciate some of y'all's inputs...
just incase... the number i called was
1 888 449 1351

1Big--again, you out-do yourself!! I remember seeing those orders too. Don't worry, we'll be back there soon enough (LOL)....also thought the new thread about Birthdays was cute!!! Fun to read, too.
Whiz--hoping all the rumors are TRUE! Can you imagine our pps once Comcast is confirmed? WOW!! Can't wait for that press release.
Just want to say again to all you well-wishers..."THANKS"....made the day even better.
alot of people are waiting to see if there is going to be any PR to confirm all the rumour we are hearing. I would like to see something really soon to indicate that RCN is actually going to air this channel on Sept 4th. we are 2 weeks away and god i would like to see them advertising it like a bugger. if we are going to get subscribers i would think that people need to know that it exists.
i hope that 2 weeks of advertising it will be enough. we have to have subscriber or this is all for nothing.
Lets go Frank Get the word out there. Get the advertising campaign going. we are way over due.
this week is very important to get the word out i would think.
I would feel better seeing it splashed all over the place.

What does it mean when you buyback stock?
A buyback stock is stock in a company that buys back a significant number of its own shares. For 50 years, buyback stocks have outperformed the market – sometimes spectacularly so.
Coca-Cola
PPS before buyback $4.80
PPS after buyback $65.00
1,760% Gain
Kellogg
PPS before buyback $8.75
PPS after buyback $70.00
1,072% Gain
Why Buyback Stocks Perform So Spectacularly:
When companies buy back their own stocks, it reflects an enormous vote of confidence in the stock by those who know it best – the company’s senior executives. No one else knows more about the firm’s financial situation, its market share, business plans, research and development programs or new products. However, those executives aren’t talking; they usually keep their plans, tactics and research behind closed doors. But a stock buyback tips you off that the stock is primed to go up.

LETTER FROM FRANK OLSEN, CEO OF Q TELEVISION NETWORK
August 11, 2004
Dear Shareholders,
We just returned from a three-day retreat in Seattle. In attendance were Tim Orden, our in-house VP of Public Relations; Barbara Lamont from our Teleport company in New Orleans; Jeffrey Ory from Deveney, our PR company; Scott Seger our VP of Advertising Sales in New York and representatives from our Investor Relations department. There were also cable company reps there, as well as potential advertisers. We discussed our plans for Q Television over the next 30 days, 90 days and 120 days.
RCN told us today they have been “inundated” with calls requesting Q Television and they are very excited about the September launch. They will begin promoting Q Television on their stations next week and we will also be targeting the RCN cities where Q will be carried.
We have received approximately 100,000 calls over the past two months on our 800 number. The majority of the calls related to the caller’s request for carriage. We believe most shareholders will want to watch Q to see what they own. We are currently in negotiations with the major cable and satellite companies, plus many other small cable companies. Some of the cable companies we have already signed, but you could help with some of the other cable and satellite carriers.
We need you to call your local cable company and/or satellite provider and ask them to carry the Q Television Network as part of the fall line-up. Remember, all such providers have Caller ID, so one person calling 200 times a day from the same phone is not going to help. One person calling every week does help because that just means you are a persistent customer. This doesn’t mean we are desperate, but it will help close the contracts, particularly where management is sitting on the fence. For example, one gentleman I spoke to only has 1500 clients, but he received 60 calls asking for Q Television in the last two weeks. He immediately called me and said he wanted to carry Q Television and we are putting his contract together now. This shows how important your calls are. If the cable company wants to reach Q Television regarding carriage, they should call Rene Schenk and he can be reached on 877-875-6300.
Once you’ve called your local cable company, send an email to info@qtelevision.com and let us know the name of the carrier you called and your zip code. By the way, if you are one of the 100,000 who called our 800 number in the last two months, you will be receiving an automated call asking you to call your local cable company, but you don’t have to wait for that call. Also, ask your friends to call. It only helps.
We will be putting information out in the national press soon. During the week of the national convention it might be slow because the press will so busy, but before and after we will have general press coverage. This helps to raise awareness of Q Television and generates interest therein.
One other item I would like to mention is that we are very proud to announce that we have sponsors in most areas of the country for any people who are housebound with AIDS. We are going to pay for their basic cable and provide the $7.95 per month subscription to Q Television Network at no charge. This means we are truly a gay channel for the gay community.
This weekend we shot pilots for WOW!, Q The Music, Qewsbreak, Q on the Move and Yestergay. Today I will sort through the pilots and daily production will begin next week. Q will be jumping out of the box and ready to go on September 4th.
Whiz--great link...I've never seen that before. Who created that site? I couldn't tell if it was from the QTN or someone else...either way, it's AWESOME!!!
1Big--had left over birthday cake and a large coke for breakfast. HMMM. Hmmm. Good!!(laugh)...you might need to invest in a candy bar today...to go with the sugar cubes!! (laugh)
Think that we gonna get that pr any time now!
I know what you mean Sunny, just took my two little ones to the beauty parlor today, the youngest pup wrapped his front legs and paws around my arm and wouldn't let go so the lady could take him back to groom him. LOL.... made me sad to leave him.... my 3 dogs are my kids, wasn't able to have children.
GLTA and welcome back to another delightful day of this ride lol... Go Q!!!!

We love animals too...before the 4 children, we had four cats and 2 gerbils (tom & jerry--classroom pets). We moved our precious pets across the country twice...our babies. We only have 1 cat left...he's almost 15 years old. (even the cat is male LOL). Our other three are in Heaven now, but we still have pictures of them around the house. Now, the boys are talking about getting a dog...they want a golder retriever (of course it has to be huge!) (lol) Still talking about that though. I do know how you feel about your dogs...we wouldn't even go on vacation because we didn't want to leave our kitties...really.
Just checked Q...holding steady at 005. Low volume again. Very quiet today. Want a PR!!!

Most of the daytraders are the ones that are anxious and impatient. I'm both myself but need to learn to relax. I like to call or email to confirm a few things and trust me, RCN is carrying them. Q Television will be available through RCN. 100%
Also found out that RCN does not support cabletv in every single property in those cities that were mentioned. RCN says that the specific building would need to sign a contract for RCN to run the appropiate wires to support cable from RCN. They are not thinking about expanding in the NY area anytime soon.
So that drops the population numbers down another notch. We definetly need another carrier.
To order, call RCN at 1-866-726-3836

I believe it was created by a shareholder. It's pretty good considering it was done through a web hosting company.
The best thing about it is it keeps the Q TV name out there & directs people to the QBID site.
Furthermore you might note that there were advertisers at that site. Think about that!

These guys were fishing on a boat at a pond. They made a bet to see who can walk across the pond. One guy went, SPLASH. 2nd guy tried, SPLASH. 3rd guy walked all the way across and back and all the guys asked " How did you do that? The 3rd guy replied, "It was easy once I knew where the rocks were"
Point? Watch the mistakes of others and use the rocks to your advantage.
this story can be used in regards to ideas. Don't show them otherwise someone will steal it.

I have used every penny that I have on Qbid refusing to keep more than a cent in there. For some reason - it looks as though they are deducting a penny a day from my Ameritrade acct. So - earlier I had to sell 44 shares which made me sick - I just have to enough pennies in their until QBID LAUNCHES!

Just hang tight - You will see the PPS go up. Its only a matter of time. Just know they are real and they are here to stay! Speaking of staying, I read that someone posted they are moving? Yes that is true. A larger more square footage location. Cannot disclose where. Moving trucks are outside.
Enjoy the ride. Up. I won't be posting as I will be losing my source after the move. Good luck guys.

Thanks!

You are quite welcome Crazy, glad you checked it out.
I must say that I've written up 2 separate Christmas present lists. One is without QBID profits and the second, with QBID profits. The second list looks REEEALLLYYY pretty (lol). Just getting a jump start on the Holidays. (laugh)

A tingle in your tummy, sunny? I would hope it's some woman's intuition thing, but are you sure it's not the "cake, icecream, coke and anything else yummy" from yesterday?
Hmmmmmm???
NEW INFORMATION;
I just called the QTN office and spoke with David for all of 50 seconds. He was very polite...I told him my name and told him that some of my fellow investors, who happen to be a group of mothers in TX (we laughed at that) heard that QTN was relocating and that I was nominated as the one to confirm the move..that I just wanted to make sure all was still going well at QTN...David said yes they were moving, BUT that they are staying in the same building, just moving to a different floor to gain more office space. I said WOW, that sounds like progress is being made...and he laughed and said yeeessss. So, i joked about how the mothers in my neighborhood investment group were counting on QTN paying for our children's tuition...and David chuckled and sounded a little surprised that I was invested in QTN.(sure, it sounds odd that moms from TX are heavily invested in a gay/lesbian Network).
David was Very busy, very professional and very friendly, but did not offer up any new info like pr dates. I felt that he has been told to be a little "tight-lipped" when answering questions or giving out information. We ended the conversation by saying, "take care," and "talk to you later..." (laughing)
Hope this helps. More space is needed folks!! Sounds good to me. Feeling better, thank you. (lol)
Afterthought...just wanted to add that David must be a very nice person. He probably answers a lot of calls and responds so politely and professionally...very good natured and humored, too. I was impressed with his tone, for what's worth (lol) GOOO QQQQ!!

If David said they are moving to a bigger space in the same building then why would TOPB say there are moving trucks outside.... Furthermore I live in Palm Springs and if anyone thinks it would be adventagous I will go to Q's building and see what I can dig up...What do you guys think?
Steve
So then, that makes ocean11's post (TOBP's repost @ 15:53) bogus. That pretty much knocks him (ocean11) off the credibility wagon.

I have never been to Q's office however on thursday I will try to make a trip over there and see if I can find anything out. I might be able to find out where they are moving (if they are moving to another city/address). Do you think I should go inside and try to ask some questions? Or should I just see if there is any evidence that would suggest a move out the location completly. If you guys want me to go inside and try to ask some questions please let me know what I should ask or try to find out.

Ya i guess your right.. who cares if they moved out of palm springs, (one of the biggest G/L communitis in california)and who cares if they didnt broadcast here either, I mean do you think that Q really wants to broadcast to people that would want to watch thier channal.. You are so correct I cannot belive no one thought of that before. LOL! BIATCH!

ok I used to mvoe furniture for a living for a few years and when we moved large offices from one area of a large building to another floor or another area of the same building we used dozens and sometimes hundreds of 4 wheels dollies which had to be brought on a truck plus the furniture pads even when neatly folded take up alot of space since a good size office can require alot of them so 2 or 3 trucks full of furniture pads and 4 wheel dollies and about 6 or 8 guys is highly likely for a fast change from one space to another the extra dollies make it possible to complete the move in a few hours instead of taking a day or two.
Go QQQQQQQQQQ!!

bashers read this Comcast to carry QTVN?>
Boy these are sure adding up, Don't forget the phone call i made to Comcast and got "yes Comcast will be airing Q-television" also.
Posted By: ezram1 Msg# 54428 of 54429Hi All.
i rarely post, but i value most postings.
while calling Comcast about my bill here in the Philadelphia, area... i decided to ask abt whether they will offer QTV....The lady says it will happen SOON, no time frame was given... She went further to say we will be advising our customers of the scheduling when its official...
I wasnt sure if she was just making conversation since i had just paid my past due account, so I asked if she knew what sort of a channel it was, so she said I'm not sure but u shld be getting that information SOON once its official...now she was only a CSR in billing dept... and am not sure if this is all valid,,, but if it is.... I know where my MONEY's AT!!!!!
invest what u can afford to lose... and this is just an FYI coz I appreciate some of y'all's inputs...
just incase... the number i called was
1 888 449 1351
...................................................................
I wonder if its real also whiz because the 888 number they posted for comcast in phily doesnt work lol

with that attitude you could loose your investment if it a company decided to up and leave town. the office is moving and the phone lines are down, I want to know exactly what is happening and not just take a guy on the phones word for it.
if your happy not knowing that is great but most of us on here want this information.
so you chill out.

my policy has always been when in doubt what to say then say the truth. thats the only advice I can give.
Always be honest!
They will tell you anything you want to know as long as they are allowed to divulge that info. ask if you can have a tour of the offices. and complimant them onthier set up. you attract bees with honey so be complimantory and look interested and inquisitive.
You are an investor and you want to knoweverythign you can about the stock you own.

well if you have DD to share or opinions I am sure that would be welcomed but coming in here and showing zero class and cussing at people is pretty tacky now if you could be capable of carrying on a civil conversation without verbally abusing others and bickering as you say well then that would be great. you dont have to like everyone or anyone on this board but a little class and common courtesy and respect would be nice.

having a little common courtesy for others is always nice. 130k in afghanistan hmm sounds like the driving job a few of my coworkers are waiting for approval on. except they are going to get 150k for a 6 month tour over there driving trucks.
you can bet I would be in that dumpster every night if I did not live over halfway across the country and work long hours 6 days a week but I have a family to support and not enough time or money for that adventure but it was an excellent idea.

Just got done reading all the posts. You guys are totally crazy! Finding out that they are moving will not benefit anyone. I'm sure they dont mind a few calls here and there but lets let them answer important phone calls.
We all have been so ansy, and impatient because we hear no new news so we're now trying to confirm every single thing they do. They are there and working on a network!
I still believe ocean for 1 reason. Moving to bigger office means they need more furniture, maybe they're getting rid of old furniture. Do you think susan is moving the desks? They probably hired moving people to do it.
RELAX GUYS/GIRLS!!!!!!!!!

you better get your story straight.
i dotn knwo where you have been but the chocolate pickeles died out long ago.
maybe you should crawl back in your cave and we will call you when you are rich off QBID after all you seem to think that all the DD is done on this stock.
and by the way if the phone calls are going to cause them a financial problem then this thing is never going to get off the ground. Thier phone bill is probably one of thier smallest bills. They have a 800 number that is usually a watts line and they pay a set rate for unlimited calls.
so go back and get your coloring book and play nice.

Dont comein here under a new handle that is 7 days old and act like you have been here forever by quoting some old jokes and slaming some of the regular posters and expect us to accept that as ok behavior because it isnt.
If you want to contribute to the conversation then do it respectfully. I dont care what you make or where you work or what you do as you are not impressing me with your numbers. I have friends making twice that here and not bragging about it.
so in conclusion. if you have some DD you want to share then by all means do it. if not and you want to join in the discussion then that is fine as well. but stop with you smart ass comments and i am better then you attitude and maybe we can get along. Otherwise please refrain from commenting on this board.
I dont care if your DD is good or bad for QBID i will read it and concider it. I will not call you a basher if you find unfavourable news. I want to hear the good the bad and the ugly of this stock so that i can continue to invest my money with the whole picture in sight.
Please stop complaining about the posts that you say are uninformative, as your posts as well have been just that.
Thank you in advance for your future courtacy to the posters here.

No one here has been bickering in ages and ages. I think everyone gets along quite fine, thank you. By the way, I don't think I will be able to extend an invitation to Vegas. Sorry.
Finally, I think it is relevant if QTN is moving into larger offices...shows confidence in revenue margins and sheer progress. Think this is great news!!! Small steps will get us to 03 and higher. Thank you for your input.
for the record i am not gay, nor do i disrespect those that are.
You are not aggresive you are rude and inconciderate. and you have been asked by several on this forum to act respectfully.
you should start thinking up a new name soon

I agree about the moving vans. They would need them for the moving carts, etc. But Ocean 11 said he would not be posting anymore and since they are staying in the same building he shouldn't have that big of a problem. I think he slipped up. JMHO

JMHO, we need to concentrate on doing what we were asked to do and try to limit the micromanaging. Frank and his crew are working hard to get QTN ready for it's big debut. Didn't I read somewhere that patience was up there with the virtues of hope, faith and charity?
Whiz says it best, "All WE ever had to do is launch!". However, Frank and staff have to tie up all those lose ends before 9-4-04.

And keep your fingers crossed that rcn is not an active cable provider up there!!!
But I found it trying to link "Cablevision of Desert Hot Springs" in CA to the "BIG" Cablevision in NY. Could find no link there, just similar names. But I found this document which appears to link Cablevision of Desert Hot Springs to Adelphia Communications Corp. If someone's a speedy reader, have at it.

Coachella Valley California Desert Conservation Area Plan Amendment / FEIS Chapter 3 – Affected EnvironmentAnza-Borrego portions of the CDCA planning area; residents rely on on-lot septic systems. Electric Service. Southern California Edison (SCE) is the primary electric service provider for the western Coachella Valley, while the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) serves the central and eastern portions of the valley. High-voltage (up to 500 kilovolt) transmission lines pass through the Coachella Valley within an east-west trending utility corridor located north of and roughly parallel to Interstate-10. This corridor passes directly through scattered BLM parcels in several locations throughout the valley, including east of Indio, within the San Gorgonio Pass area, and in the Coachella Valley Preserve in the central valley. Additional electrical transmission lines, including 230 and 115 kilovolt (kV) lines, carry power from the 500 kV system located in the northern end of the planning area south to power users throughout Coachella and Imperial Valleys. Natural Gas. The Southern California Gas Company provides natural gas services to much of the planning area. Most development in the central, urbanized core of the Coachella Valley is connected to the natural gas distribution system. Rural, outlying areas and some isolated pockets of development are not connected, given the tremendous costs associated with expanding the necessary infrastructure. The natural gas pipeline originates in Texas and crosses the valley through an east-west trending utility corridor just north of Interstate-10. The pipelines include one 30-inch line and two 24-inch lines, with pressures of 2,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This utility corridor passes directly through scattered BLM parcels of land, including several east of Indio, within the San Gorgonio Pass area, and in the vicinity of the Coachella Valley Preserve. Telephone Service. Verizon (formerly GTE) provides a wide range of residential and business telephone services to the CDCA planning area. The backbone of Verizon’s communications network consists of central switching offices, which facilitate the connection of telephone and data transmissions. Numerous central switching offices are located throughout the region. Cable Television. The Coachella Valley’s largest cable television service provider is Time Warner, whose coverage area extends from Palm Springs to Coachella. Desert Hot Springs Cablevision provides services to the City of Desert Hot Springs and a portion of Sky Valley. Kountry Kable provides services to the communities of Mecca and Thermal. Solid Waste Management. The largest provider of solid waste management services in the Coachella Valley is Waste Management of the Desert, whose coverage area generally extends from Cathedral City to North Shore. Waste Management also serves the Morongo Valley portion of the planning area. The cities of Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs contract with Palm Springs/Desert Valley Disposal for solid waste management and disposal services. Most cities in the valley have implemented a comprehensive recycling program, which has proven beneficial to the preservation of landfill space, and energy and other finite resources used in materials production. Most green waste collected in the valley is recycled at the BioMass facility in Thermal, while Page 3-2
As per previous messages Q has a kind of deal with TWC. Hunting license to be able to approach local twc outfits and deal on the specific area basis.

Any other cable provider will just be the begining! Then another will sign on &,,,
Yep! I just can't quite remember the exact moment it occurred to me that there was only one element missing from this investment,,,,
Very quietly!
They're waiting!
They want to be remembered by the G/L community the first to advertise directly to them & pick up intensly loyal consummer base that commands a HALF TRILLION DOLLAR DISPOSABLE INCOME!
I know there are Fortune 500 Companies that already have commercials in the can waiting.
Once these carriers experience the weight of Corporate America seeking to advertise through Q TV this will forever put to bed anyones doubts as to whether QBID will become a viable National TV Network.
Some people wonder if Comcast will carry our signal?
I have to wonder if Comcast is willing to wait around for Viacom to cash in first when there's a ready made opportunity to beat them to the punch & in so doing pick up some loyal subsribers themselves.
My guess would be Comcast is onboard before LOGO ever gets on the air.
No matter how hard I try, I just can't remember when it dawned on me,,,,
there just isn't any risk here,,,,

Whiz, you're right, why would Comcast want to contract through Viacom in February when QTN is available next month?
You know it's almost funny but I also tend to forget that COX and COMCAST agreed to carry the test signal back in May & did an excellent job!
Somehow I don't think they were just doing QBID a favor.

Beats me. It wasn't a trick question. I really don't know who they serve but they're small enough they might be willing to take a risk on getting BIG. What better way than QBID. I bet they started thinking back when Redstone first made his "mistake" remark in the press.

Isnt' more likely that cox in Louisiana would carry Q, also being that they carried the test signal, and... didn't frank have a office in louisiana? i cant remember but i thought people were saying that was one of the reasons he chose cox to stream the signal.

It wasn't Frank's office, it was Barbra Lamont's office. She's the CEO of the company that uplinks us to satilite.
But yes! Cox would probably be our carrier in that area.

Here in CT Cablevision is HUGE!! Available in practically every property.
More importantly, lets talk amongst ourselves, lets not start calling everyone and their mother to confirm things. Thats Q Televisions job! If you want to make calls make sure its productive such as requesting the channel.
One thing I want to know as all this great news comes to us, WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE OLD MEMBERS?? Do they not want part of this anymore? Are they using a different user name? Do they just want cheaper shares?

Thought the new website post was more outstanding news...but it is definitely NEWSWORTHY. This kind of public relations builds a strong community image and a positive image, which are essential in this type of venture. QTN is going into virgin territory...it should take every opportunity to promote and sell itself to the public. That's good pr in and of itself.
Over the last week alone, I have contacted cable companies, satellite companies... emailed newspapers in CA...Even have my sister doing this too. Please let me know what else I can do.
There is no reason to call QTN regarding this website update...came from the Q camp. Information about the move did not. It was originally a rumor. (Evidently I bugged a few of you by confirming this move. Sorry, but when a company that I have invested thousands of dollars into is allegedly moving, Gee, I want to know where. Just the way I am (lol). So, no need to get a confirmation on a website update.
Would like to see the last two website posts be rewritten and released into a solid press release format. They are tooooo good to be languishing on a website. Frank needs to be massaging the masses with this information, not the investors. ...although I do love a good massage (laugh).
Wishing us all good luck and a happy day.
Just saw Diana's post...realize you don't know me, but I want to say that I wish you would post more often. Miss your insight, perspective and AWESOME DD! Just my 2 cents...2 cents by Oct? (LOL)

Doctoall... I agree with you that this channel will be viewed by more than just the g/l community. Heck, if I can get my Q, then I certainly will be paying $7.95 monthly... just think about all of the investors alone who would subscribe to QTN...that's a profit right there! (lol) I did not intend any disrespect in one of my earlier posts...just trying to give an example of how I'm now looking for potential subscribers and marketing ideas...(laugh)
Did someone mention George Michael? Hey, there's a subscriber too. Think QTN will go global?

The Gay & Lesbian Yellow Pages Launches Exciting New Web Site - www.GLYP.com
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 18, 2004--The Gay & Lesbian Yellow Pages, Inc(TM) (GLYP) is pleased to announce the launch of the new and improved GLYP.com Web site. GLYP, Inc, a member of the Yellow Pages Integrated Media Association, is the only YPIMA publisher focused on serving gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) consumers and friends. "Our mission is to provide our community with access to the most up-to-date information on where to buy the products and services needed by our families," says Laura Villagran, founder/CEO. "We are very proud of our 14-year history of service here in the Gulf coast and we're looking forward to expanding our reach and continuously improving on the quality of services presented to the GLBT community going forward," she goes on to say.
GLYP distributes over 300,000 directories throughout the country and the Web allows advertisers to reach those customers unable to obtain a book while at work or out and about in less gay-inclusive parts of the country. GLYP.com displays local information in both traditional search engine results and in a new "look and feel format." Click on a city such as Houston or Dallas and you will see an actual version of the printed books. "We think this is the way of the future and sometimes a picture does say more than a 1,000 words. We are very excited to have the opportunity to provide this service to the GLBT community nationwide," says Villagran.
This enthusiasm is shared by key operations and marketing partners: Information Pages.com and YellowPageCity.com. "Information Pages, developer of the 'look and feel' yellow pages format, enables print publishers such as GLYP to enliven their directories with dynamic content and features available on the Web," says JoAnna Weeks, director of marketing. Links to the GLYP book are also hosted on YellowPageCity.com via marketing collaboration. "YellowPageCity.com provides independent yellow page publishers the opportunity to pool their resources and thus ensuring they can compete with major telecommunications and Internet goliaths for the attention of advertisers and direct consumers nationally and in their core markets," says Steve Pavone, president.
For more information, please visit GLYP.com, InformationPages.com, or YellowPageCity.com. Prepared by Trent Jefferson, Business Consultant, Houston, 713-523-1787.
Buddy, How are you? I actually have been worried about you, since I haven't seen you since before the storm hit... everytime I see a news report about Florida I think of you... I am glad to hear everything is well enough that you have internet access...

dont know if its true but a coworker told me that he thinks he saw an advertisement for QTN a few weeks ago wasnt sure which channel. I find it hard to believe though because I am sure they would continue running it.

[This message has been edited by WinsumLosesum (edited August 18, 2004).]
I just got off the phone with Comcast. I asked if they were planning on including QTV in their fall line up. Here's the response.......
At first the gentleman I spoke with said he had never heard of QTV. I said, "Oh I heard a rumor that Comcast was going to carry the channel."
He asked me to hold while he checked with his supervisor. WHen he came back on he sounded surprised and said, "Here is what I can tell you, we are currently in negotiations with QTV and cannot release any information until all of the i's are dotted and t's are crossed, but it definitely sounds like Comcast has an interest in carrying the channel. "
He went on to say that he didn't know if it would be in the fall lineup or not, but that when it becomes official and all of the documents are in place, there will be a press release and news coverage.
SO there you go folks. I heard that straight from the big kahuna's mouth. It appears that all we have to do is wait for that official PR!!

sounds like time warner is doing a survery to see if QTN will be in enough demand to add them or not IMHO
forgot to list the number lol to make it easier.
760-340-1312
P.S. all our dreams will come true if we can land time warner it would only be a short matter of time before everyone else jumped on board.

Comcast, RCN and the mysterious Time Warner, not counting the other mystery contract that they are currently drawing up. There's definitely something boiling on the stove!! Smells mighty good!
I jumped out at .0099 way back when. I'm thinkin' I'd better hop back on board here this week.
in my opinion I think time warner and probably many other major carriers are waiting to see how many people subscribe to QTN thru RCN. I think if RCN gets 4% of its subscriber base or more to subscribe then comcast TW and all the major carriers will jump on board.

(T)ired (O)f (B)eing (P)oor
Apparently Time Warner is taking calls for requests of the Q Television Network.
Call (760) 340-1312
The more ppl that call the better. I called and they ARE tracking the numbers of callers

so with those 3 major carriers I see a quarter possible by christmas.

Bet everyone in the Q building has glasses sitting on their desk...good to hold up to wall...Can you visualize that!! All the secretaries, janitors, passer-bys bent over, pressed up to the wall...hoping to hear something juicy? Hilarious.

Yup. Could be a problem for both of us, I see. Plus, when pharm gets back to "normal", that could make for the perfect storm of puns...

Q confessions:
I had 1M, but sold it all the last time Q tanked. I never mentioned it, because that stuff makes people uneasy. Plus, I was still on the team. I just decided that I would rather take my money off the table and keep it in my own pocket, until good news came out. It seemed so simple. A killer PR comes out - I buy back in. Sure, I'd miss a few ticks, but that's the price I was willing to pay to be able to sleep at night.
Then, there was that day it took off for absolutely no reason. I sat paralyzed, not having news, and afraid to chase it. I missed making good money that day. Then, when it started to sink again, I started buying back in at what I thought was the bottom (3 times). Now my average pps is about what it was before, but now I only have 1/2 that amount.
So, no matter how much money I make from the Q, I get to regret not making twice as much. That's perfect for me. I'm the guy, who, realizing his glass is half full, says, "Dang, I should've gotten a bigger glass!"

lol I think I can equal that one. I looked Q over when it was at .0001 said no way it will no go again lol I was stupid.( I could have had 4o million) after it hit .03 I was cussing myself so I watched and watched and at .0119 I bought a small amount hoping to make a few bucks. then it dropped again drat
ok bought more then ti dropped again and I also bought more and then it dropped again I bought more also. then it dropped to .0031 I said nah I give up damn it popped back up lol I cussed myself then waited till it hit .0041 and bought more.
hmm thinking I have enough I will be content but no its like a addiction to drugs or alcohol I have to have more and more and more so I buy again at .0051
this quells my appetite for a minute or two then my boss offers to loan me whatever I want at 10% interest and now I am ancy lol
I think about it for hours and after almost dying from a heart attack I do the smart thing and pass on the loan(although I still keep thinking about his offer)
now I just dont think 703k is enough lol time to sell my gold coins lol I am hopless.
in short I averaged down 4 times and averaged up once lol. had I waited and bought at .0031 I would have have twice the shares I have now.

When about did you buy into Qbid, I am just curious...
1.1 Million at .0018 I wish I had bought more, ahhh well...
Just remember, the company is also buying back shares until October 2004... So at these low prices, every little bit helps lower the float...

You know, come to think of it. Ocean said, "There could be news coming to you in other ways such as hotline/website."
They put news about the COACHELLA VALLEY on their website with other information. I spotted that at 8pm last night. Thats 4 hours after he posted that.
Then he says, "I will be losing my source after the move" That could mean his source has to go to another level of the building which is probably not as loose on security? Maybe he had someone pass by and check in on Q. Or Maybe QTN is the only one on that level and anyone passing by will look suspicious.He never once stated they are moving to another area of the city. "larger more square footage location" just means more office space.
He's still good in my books.

Don't press anything, just wait to get someone. First thing I said was "I'd like to request for a specific network" Within 1 second she said, "Is it for Q Television?" With my smile ear to ear I said, thats the one. She responded, "we don't have information to give at this time but we are taking everyone's information and we will call you when we have it available." All they need is your name and phone number!
She asked where I was from I said Palm Springs only becuase I know they serve the area and they would keep me on the list to call.
Mention another city they service.
Call, Call!

For instance I live in CT (203) but have service in NY (914). They wont ask you. Find a city that they service and say it, if you want locate a street in that city..Its not like they will come to your house.
I also left my email address but I think they'll be calling us.

Question: I am interested in subscribing to the Q television network.
This channel is now broadcasting, but is not listed on the site as
available. I have been a subscriber to dish network for a long time, but
if this network is not offered and I can find it available from another
carrier, I will be forced to switch to the carrier that provides this
channel.

We will make money on this stock. Just rember to be realistic. Dont forget to take profits when the time comes and to reinvest on dips. If done correctly you will gain the same benifits of it hitting a dollar without it accutually doing so.
Those who wait around for a dollar will miss out on a lot of profit.

VOL - 91,255,607
MACD - Trending up
SLOW STO - Trending up
WILLIAMS %R - Oversold and trending up
Broke the 5SMA, 20SMA, and I believe the 200SMA (20SMA and 200SMA aren't reflected on this chart). Volume was decent with a late round of buying after hours allowing a close at .0056 (not .0053)
With todays large ad for Q Television in the Desert Sun newspaper, Time Warner recording all those who call in requesting our network, apparently negotiations are in process with Time Warner and possibly COMCAST ppl are taking notice and buying. And they will really take notice when the ad campaign grows and 09/04/04 arrives with Q Television on the airwaves.
[This message has been edited by lilpennypincher (edited August 18, 2004).]
Apparently before the split, it came out trading at .10 and blew through the roof to $2!! Read thread here: http://www.allstocks.com/stockmessageboard/ubb/Forum8/HTML/008153.html
QBID can easily do the same. Remember the Billion in volume we had! With that much volume, that PPS is realistic.
Enjoy the ride!

Are we doing all the leg work for them and they are just sitting back enjoying the ride?Geez. At least say, "Hello. Wow, thats good news"
Hello, y'all. Didn't mean to abandon the team. I've just been exhausted. Won't let myself get too excited till something good happens. The last time we had good news (RCN) I lost $4,000 in a couple days. That hurt. I'm holding my million real tight now!
All y'alls work is very appreciated, I just had to leave my computer and join the world again to make up for losing $20,000 in 2 months from stocks. And I was getting huge (hugh ) zits! You can't get too laid with those.
TW sounds great. Keep up the good work. I'll do my part by calling around. I love all you freaQs!

So evidently there were buy orders that went through moments after the bell? Big rush?

That is great, but by the reaction of the Time Warner Guy in Palm Springs I have to ask myself - "What the hell have these sales guys been doing if this guy didn't even know about it." or maybe he didn't want to look bad in front of his customers?

Dear Lord, Please help me to be the man my dog thinks i am.
From the article:

"Prior to the ad appearing, I had not heard of Q Television, and we had not heard formally from anybody over there about being placed on our system," McMahon said Wednesday.
"I actually called over there after I heard they had placed the ad asking people to call us," he added.
As of Wednesday afternoon, McMahon said he had not heard back from Q Television President Frank Olsen, and no decision had been made on whether to carry the channel."

That's an ... uh... interesting way to do business, wouldn't you say?
Also:

Q Television is operated by Triangle Multi-Media Inc., which is currently moving into new headquarters on Indian Canyon Drive, after relocating from another downtown Palm Springs office.
____
So, what do we make out of this, after all that brewhaha the other day?
I just wrote Desert Sun a response letter. I told them that they may want to phone Time Warner again...there are now certainly more than 6 requests...told Desert Sun that there are full mailboxes requesting QTN...that I'd tried last night...Also asked them to please confirm the location of QTN headquarters...That I had just spoken to their receptionist two days ago...that they were remaining in building, just moving to larger offices.
That article was not written well. The reporter does not sound very thorough or knowledgeable at all. The tone also sounded biased to me because, in my opinion, the tone was negative. Perhaps I'm wrong...could be Desert Sun isn't so keen on having a g/l network in the area. Don't know...either way, I wrote them.
Hope Frank is doing well. Maybe if he's feeling better he can phone this reporter back today and offer up new information about carriers, programming or demands for QTN!

POSTED: 08/18/04RCN told us today they have been “inundated” with calls requesting Q Television and they are very excited about the September launch. They will begin promoting Q Television on their stations.
We have received approximately 100,000 calls over the past two months on our 800 number. We appreciate everybody's support and positive outlook on QTN, please be patient with us as our network gets on it's way.
This all bodes well for our QTN...Desert Sun needs to get a good grip...looks like news such as this may be out of their league.
It says...WED AFTERNOON....I would be VERY suprised if Frank had not talked to them since then.
We all know that alot happened since the afternoon....6 calls...humph...ya right

Local network tries for a cable slot
By Lou Hirsh
The Desert Sun
August 19th, 2004
A Palm Springs-based television network soon will make it onto home screens in places like New York and Chicago.
Now the Q Television Network, with 24 hours of cable programming geared to a gay and lesbian audience, is campaigning to reach viewers in its own back yard.
On Wednesday, Q Television launched a promotional campaign, including a full-page advertisement in The Desert Sun, urging potential viewers to call Time Warner, which serves most of the Coachella Valley, and ask the cable company to carry the channel.
Through an agreement with cable service provider RCN Corp. of Princeton, N.J., the Q network’s programs will be seen beginning Sept. 4 in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago.
"Most of our agreements are with East Coast cities so far," said Melinda Tremaglio, a producer with the network. "We’re trying to bring it westward."
She said the Coachella Valley, particularly Palm Springs, has a gay community that would be as receptive to its programming as those in the larger cities. The channel will offer news, talk, movies, sports and documentary programs.
"This area is a very good match for us," she said.
The full-page advertisement caught Time Warner officials by surprise, said Stephen McMahon, vice president and general manager in the cable company’s Palm Desert office.
"Prior to the ad appearing, I had not heard of Q Television, and we had not heard formally from anybody over there about being placed on our system," McMahon said Wednesday.
"I actually called over there after I heard they had placed the ad asking people to call us," he added.
As of Wednesday afternoon, McMahon said he had not heard back from Q Television President Frank Olsen, and no decision had been made on whether to carry the channel.
"We’ll have a discussion with them, and we’ll be happy to entertain what they have to offer," McMahon said.
He said Time Warner’s decision will be based on a number of financial, legal and audience factors, as part of the company’s standard review procedure when considering new offerings.
As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, McMahon said the local Time Warner office had received six phone calls in relation to the newspaper ad.
Olsen was out sick Wednesday and could not be reached by The Desert Sun for comment.
Time Warner serves about 140,000 customers in the Coachella Valley. Most customers receive between 28 and 80 channels based on the service package they purchase, although there are more than 250 channels when various digital and music options are included.
Q Television is operated by Triangle Multi-Media Inc., which is currently moving into new headquarters on Indian Canyon Drive, after relocating from another downtown Palm Springs office.
Shares of Triangle and RCN trade on what is known as the Pink Sheets, a relatively obscure over-the-counter stock exchange for sometimes troubled or emerging companies.
Q Television programming has been in the works for the past two years, but Triangle has been struggling financially. On July 28, Triangle officials announced the company had obtained intermediate financing in the form of a $1 million loan and equity placement of $1 million through a major private investment fund, with further financing near completion.
In a press release at the time, Olsen said those arrangements will allow the company to continue securing programming.
In a posting on its Web site Wednesday, Q Television announced that it had lined up Coachella Valley sponsors to offer its programming free to viewers who are housebound with AIDS.
If it gets on Time Warner locally, Q Television plans to pay for those customers’ basic cable and waive the standard $7.95 monthly subscription charge for Q programming.

Sunny, and any other fellow carbo-phobics out there. Edy's makes a new low carb ice cream called "Carb Benefit". 3 or 4 net grams of carbs per serving, and it tastes fantastic. Creamier than most "regular" ice cream, and actually doesn't even taste "fake". It's so good, I'm going to email them.
This has been a public service announcement. I'm WinsumLosesum, and I approved this message.

The rich keep getting richer because they have more money to invest. I sware if I had $50,000 to invest, I would put into QBID right now. Just a 10% gain is $5000 in my pocket in 1 day. That means QBID would have to get to .0068. Hello?
Start off small and work your way up... Thats my goal.

Don't even have money in my account & just bought another 100,000 shares at the ask (.61) on excitement alone!
I kept reading BigTip's post about not selling any until .25 & I realised what I hold now is my core position which I'm holding for a couple years or more & I want to have some I can let go at lower prices.
Oh well. I need to go put money in my account to cover this buy. I'll buy more if I don't get the hell up & go to the bank.

You're right T!
The last couple of days I've seen confirmation after confirmation & today I just decided it was time to pick up a mid term block of shares!
I would like to see two runs back to back with-in the next month & a half. I wish MLON would do something so I could drop 1/2 of that position right here.
Either way I may buy more tomorrow!

They are great though.
a high of .0066 hmm when it hits .066 I will get excited lol.
I think frank intentionally missed work wednesday so he didnt get an ass chewing from TW for swamping their phone lines without warning lol. it was a good Publicity stunt though and hopefully will get TW's attention.
I admit I was a bit dissappointed when I found out that TW didnt give frank permission to put their name in the add I was starting to think TW was interested in the Q. who knows maybe they are now.
as for 6 calls by 2pm lmao yeah right 60 calls per minute lol. I am thinking if I was TW I would have said that just to get back at frank for what he did lol. the big wig at TW probably had to leave his cocktail lunch to come find out what was going on lol.
another thing I am curious about was the add didnt mention washington D.C. thought RCN was gonna carry Q there also.
ok guess thats it lol a nice short post(sarcasim)
just my 2 cents worth and probably overpriced at that
OK! I may try their place if QBID does half as good as I think!

so lets say you pulled 100 grand out as proffit on your stock. 50 grand is tax exempt and the other 50 grand is taxed as if it where your income. so lets say that 50 grand and your normal income is 50 grand giving you 100,000 income for the year. you can basically kiss 53 grand in taxes good bye because you are now in a 53% tax bracketonce you make 100,000 a year.
Im not sure if holding the stock for over a year changes these figures or not.
but you can lower the tax or defer paying taxes by maxing out your RRSP's
I hope this was helpful for you.

I just hope that it doesnt have the opposite effect, piss them off to the oint of not wanting anythign to do with Q. lets hope that they see the green that can be grabed off Q as opposed to the revenge they could go after.
Either way they got the name out there and it is hard to miss a full page add in the paper.

I have even started getting up a few minutes early(at 2:50 am)to boot the computer up and look for a news release lol.

In any event I may buy more tomorrow if it continues any kind of slow momentum. I know people don't think charts apply to the pennies but I'm a believer that they do work when you look at money flow as well as whether it is oversold or not. Taking into consideration that it went through resistance at .0058 this thing is looking like it wants to run. Mullocco

Factor in realtime events such as impending launch with RCN on September 4th & full page ads appearing in a newspaper it almost becomes a no-brainer.
Don't let Frank tell people they've completed a buyback sometime in October as well as him retiring 25% of his shares. And don't let QBID announce 25,000 subs or more coming out of the gate. Yea & don't let us get PR saying yet another carrier signs on.
I've read alot of posts where level headed people caution us about exuberance & I know alot of people think I'm crazy when I say Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than $1 a share (see post RB #191192 dated April 11th). But that point is much more valid than most think even considering our O/S.
Remember! Fortune 500 Companies badly want a route to that 500 BILLION DOLLAR target. QBID is going to be the first to give them exactly what they're looking for!
I know this is boring but I will keep on saying it,,,

you are a first class prick and that is the kindest thing I can say about you. I would appreciate it if you being the insect that you are would just go away and crawl back under your rock and stop attacking decent people such as whiz and the others. whiz is very polite and mild mannered and has a right to post his opinion
if you dont agree with it fine but being a smartass is not necessary. your over in afghanistan and I hope sand fleas crawl up your ass and make a permanent home there.
I realise I have stooped to your level by speaking this way but I just could not help it whiz of all people is one of the nicest and most polite people on any board to be found.

LT1CJ7!
I've held stocks with less potential than QBID for a couple years & it paid off pretty well.
As to whether I own IBZT anymore, No! Ken did not fullfill his promise to shareholders & he embarrassed me by proving bashers right by outright lying to us. I gave Ken Schilling more credit than he deserved & even stuck up for him. If Synosphere's Bluedock looks real I may get back on it as a trade but not with blinders as before. I'll hold a stock through hard times but not if it becomes clear that we're being misled.
To date QBID has done everything in their power to get this off the ground & it doesn't look like 2001. Maybe I'm too much of a cheerleader but I believe what I write & I'm not a daytrader. Swingtrade now & then but mostly look for something with great potential & hold.

yes everyone has there right to an opinion, but you where trying to take away sunnys right to post and imposing on us your right to post. You came in here very abrasive and it was not apprecieated by anyone here.
you where treated accordingly. this is a public forum and just because you dont like reading converstion from others that you consider mindless pumping does not give you licence to be ignorant.
i will not exchange with you all night on this.
People are here for one reason only. to talk about the stock that they all own.
you talk about not liking to sift through a pile of crap but you just mentioned Glass over in the CMKX forum. this forum has a lot less pumping then CMKX ever thought of having. My honest opinion is that you enjoy stirring up ****. If this is the case pick a different forum for that.
this is the last im responding to you as anythign more is a waste of my time

The Q Television Network could use their help and those companies and the Desert AIDS Project could use some exposure on Q TV. The perfect business relationship.

Hey BT! whew it has been a frantic couple of weeks for me, but rest assured I am definietly still here and absolutely still holding strong.
For starters I have no idea what allstocks did but my original account is no longer valid (as it used a 'yahoo' address which is now banned **#@%!!)which in itself was very frustrating. On top of that I was getting real tired of all the crap that the sore losers were posting (and many of them did not even own this stock!). So in lite of all that I took a vacation to Vegas (but still have my chocolate pickle and D's turkey baster packed for the QBID Vegas trip).
Happily I have returned and unfortunately had to setup a new Allstocks account, but the important thing is that I'm back. In all this time I continued to hold all my Q shares but have exhausted my funds for accumulation but that's ok at least I am vested for the ride... should be fun.

MM's are playing this morning. Loading up for another run...it's becoming a little comical...and obvious. Few people are actually selling...Sept is right around the bend and we're all waiting on news.

QBID has great potential and I am here and will be here for the ride, but why make crazy claims about how another stock did this so surely QBID will do the same? doesn't work that way people! there are someof you here who I know damned well know better than that but they go right along with the pumping.

RSI coming from oversold to cross 50
EMA wants to cross
The only thing that does't look good is volume. I looked at the raw data sheet and it looks as though the MM's are manipulating share prace bad this morning with negative share sold meaning they are post corrections. What they do is post a sell, say for 20,000 shares at a lower price, then they correct it as a no sell of -20,000. This in turn shows up on a normal persons screen following the last price indicator as the stock going down in price but in reality the MM's just forced it down.
Hopefully though the charts look so good that they can't hold it down to long but they may try. Love to see a run Monday.

O.K., then one of mine was deleted from last night too. It doesn't really matter. What does matter is that allowing such antics to pull the attention away from our topic is counterproductive for QBID. This board has such a large readership that we are shooting our own feet when we waste readers time forcing them to dig through "all that stuff." Not everybody is as happy as we are with QBID's progress. The world really is watching the progress of this stock.
Have you ever been to a petting zoo and experienced how the animals keep trying to get more even when your little bag of feed is empty? When they finally realize you are not going to give them more, they move on to the next free handout.
GLTA Go QBID!
Sunny, are you sure you didn't forget something at the mall? We need a little push.
LILPenny--I think Monday is a pretty good bet as far that pr is concerned. From Monday we're only 12 days out from 9/4!!

NY is ground zero--if any city can prepare, it is the Big Apple. Even with $50 a barrel lumming, this week is up. You know, that little old man with the bow tie on the stock program said the market would start gaining steam mid August. He has been around a long time and seems to be in the know.

In fact, I will seriously think about sending them money as a donation to the site, I respect what they have done and how they keep it together.

So any one want to take the MMs holding down our QBID out back and beat the snot out of them? I will need some help though...(LOL)
Did people really bail the last 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon? NOOOOO!
Ric, any new information on the knuckleheads called MM's? Any new insight into this blatant manipulations?? Thanks.
Will bug some with this next thing, but...I really liked Lilpenney's picture...Can Allstock make a thread or new topic showing like one TINY picture of people who post, of course, optional...just think it would be nice to see people...I LOVE 1BIG's thread for new posters..."the tell something about yourself...." Just a thought...so no one get all bent out of shape.
behoof, thanks for the kind reply; but i can't reply back privately, not a paying customer. i don't know how Q could not have a PR today!!! with all that has happened it would definitely be in their best interest and ours as well. so close to launch and 3 PR's before then and this stock would never get lower than it is at this moment. i spoke to my mother, she lives in st. pete, fl. i got her into this stock about a week ago and she saw someone wearing Q tshirt. she is bold and went up to the couple and told him she invested some money in that company. he told her to "buy more, much, much more, the gay community is catching word about it's new Q channel and that we are tired of Will & Grace". she also said he told her the circles he ran in are patiently awaiting and hope to see the channel in their area soon, said he was from Tampa. i also took some advice from some friends and got in alot of chat rooms and started talking interesting conversation with some homosexual folks last evening. i started spreading the word about QTN and where to go to inquire about it and to call your local cable company to request it if you were interested in what you saw. they all seemed very interested and some of them had already heard. my point is that the word is getting out!!! big, big money!!! go QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
The photo thread is just an idea...Might need to ask permission about though...Out for now...Hope everyone has a good weekend.

McFly
Feel like we're on to something good!
Thanks for the great week of DD and humor--not to mention the seminar on how to use smily faces on Allstock board. (LOL) Round of applause to Crosseyed!
Back from my Q office visit. Talked with Donna the new receptionist (started today) who is quite attractive. Marion, he did not tell me his function, but he was nice and chatty and David Lee.I was told everyone else was out of the office at a meeting.
They will not be hosting any kind of launch party...no time for such things. "Too busy with the launch itself."
The Desert Sun article was a surprise cold call to Q from the paper. Q personel were not made aware an article was going to be published, so they were not very detailed in the conversation. The article was written from that one conversation, over the phone. Although a photographer did come over to take some shots.
David said he is not privy to details or conversations with TW, local or otherwise. Did not know of any advertising to come.
David initially seemed slightly hessitant and slightly uncomfortable with the intrusion of my unannounced visit, although the door was open. I mentioned a couple times I was no one of concequence as we talked, he talked freely. I mentioned a friend was comming to town next week, would he mind if we dropped in. No problam at all, Donna said we could posibly meet with someone, if we made an apointment. I won't hold my breath on that.
David Lee is fairly new with Q also...head of programming???
The office is bare bones, I was glad to see that. I got the impression they are anticipating the launch too. So they can all move up to more prestgious positions, etc.
I can't say I came away feeling euphoric. It looks real, seems like a sincere intent and attempt to succed. It's more than a storefront and I got the impression of a strong desire to succed. But, unless you're on the inside, you just can't know for sure.
Q is moving into larger space to hold more personel they are hiring. They sure do look like a start up, which is good. Not spending on overhead. Which we talked about...keeping to a minimal. Hiring more, to accomidate the launch, etc.
Hope I didn't ramble too much here.
Yes, I'm aware I'm all alone here, but thought this was worth passing along.

just got in, i got a unexpected call back from frank when i was in the middle of payroll, but i still was able to ask him a couple of questions.
me-
how may shares does qbid have?
frank-
about 9,500,000,000
y did tw say that they knew nothing about qtn?
frank-
there fu--ing full of st--, i have been dealing with tw for years and we have a 10 year contract with them.
me-
what r your thoughts about the sec and the washington state securities commition coming down hard on trading company's not giving out there o/s or there finacials?
frank-
its good that they are cracking down on the thieves that are steeling investors hard earned money, i think they are just focusing on the theives but we are trying to get our paper work together so we can totaly comply with the sec. but its hard to work on it with all the things going on right now, we r very buisy with contracts and advertising. its more important to me to get this network going then to worry about the sec.
me-
what r your thoughts about raging bull ?
frank-
thats the worst f-ing place u could ever go to chat about stock's, their a bunch of f-ing liars in there that dont even know what they are talking about.
me-
we have a new forum that only true investors can post in and it is controled to keep bashers away, its called qbid investor's member forum.
frank-
thats good, i didnt know that
me-
what is going on about advertising?
frank-
we will be putting out alot more of the full page ads like we did in palm springs but in other tw area's.we would put out more but it is costing us 75,000 per month for the satellite service, were as when we first started useing it, it only cost us 25,000. the war has been useing up all the satellites and that made the price go up.
me-
y havent we seen any pr's from any other carriers ?
frank-
we wont untill they are ready, u have to remember that only 13% of the population is g/l, but there are 33% christians, carriers are being very carefull on how they put out pr's and wont put them out untill they have figured out how to do it with out loosing 33% of their customers, they are getting close to releasing pr's though.
me-
are we still set for the sept.4th broadcast from RCN ?
frank-
i'm not sure if its the 4th or 5th but yes it still is on.
me-
whats r your thoughts about tw saying they only got 6 calls from that ad ?
frank-
they are full of sh--, u dont redirect your telephone lines for 6 calls, they had to have gotten hundreds or even thousands of calls to do that.
thats all i can recall talking with him about because i was really buisey and had alot going on, but if i can remember anything else i will post it. and please remember that this isnt exactly how things were worded but i tried to post it as close as i could remember.
.............................................................
"All we ever had to do is launch!"

But everything looks good here. I don't see how they can keep this down much longer, they did a good job today but.... Its like a over blown balloon just waiting to be popped. Just remember our best breakouts were without PR and a couple weeks before big steps. Our biggest step is coming soon so I think it will be soon and the charts look like it too.

By Allison Romano -- Broadcasting & Cable
In this story:
1. Demonstrate a demand
2. Avoid the competition
3. Hire pros
4. Build a realistic model
5. Raise beaucoup bucks
6. Sweeten the deal
Call it cable's rite of spring. At the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's annual gathering, wannabe cable networks pitch—hard. But few will turn up on your cable listings. Hype is the easy part, says one cable vet: "Until you get funded, you are not a network." New channels typically need $100 million to $150 million to break even.
There was a time when operators needed networks to populate their digital packages. Not any more. "We're looking to leverage the relationships we already have," says Cox Vice President of Programming Bob Wilson.
Industry consultant Cathy Rasenberger, who specializes in startup networks, has heard an estimated 200 proposals in the past few years. The odds of their success are slim, she cautions prospective clients.
About a dozen recently launched channels are making it. Among them: G4, Fine Living, Sí TV, and sports diginets Fuel, CSTV, and Tennis Channel (see list at right). New networks associated with a big media company or distributor stand the best chance. Independents face an uphill climb.
National Cable Television Cooperative President and CEO Mike Pandzick says operators are focused on growing their businesses, not taking on more costs. "Most look at new networks and ask, How much it is going to cost me? How many new subs is it going to get me?"
Adds Pandzick, "That's why most new networks are almost dead in the water. There are so few interests that are not already being met."
But if you want to brave the odds, do it with Rasenberger's help. Here is B&C's tip sheet for starting a digital network.
1. Demonstrate a demand
Cable already offers a dizzying array of niche networks. There are channels for foodies, videogamers, and history buffs. Aspiring outlets must find something new—and prove that people want it.
Launching a channel "is about the hardest thing to do in the world," says Brad Siegel, formerly a Turner Entertainment executive and now vice chairman for startup Gospel Music Channel. "If you don't have a large, passionate fan base, it's a nonstarter."
You need to identify the target and then find data to back up your plan. For the Gospel Music Channel, Siegel and network founder Charles Humbard, a Discovery Networks vet, see a wide-open space. (BET offers some gospel programming, but only a few shows a week.) More important, Gospel Music Channel says this is a proven marketplace: 80 million people a week tune in to such programming. And 8% of all U.S. music sales are for gospel music. Jazz, in contrast, makes up 4% of sales.
2. Avoid the competition
"It can disturb or destroy your business if someone else is competing for distribution and programming," says Rasenberger. Operators and advertisers might say they want alternatives to big, established cable networks, but it's tough going up against major players.
Stand Up Comedy Television, another first-time exhibitor at this week's NCTA show, will offer a lot of standup specials. Remember, Comedy Central has carved out the standup turf; even HBO and Bravo do it. In the gaming space, Game Show Network (now called GSN) and G4 are already up. Two new channels: Casino & Gaming Television is still looking for carriage deals, while Edge TV is joining the fray (see page 32). The channel is eyeing an early-2005 launch and has enlisted the expertise of former ABC Family distribution exec John Burns III, distribution specialist Hot House Media, and talent agency Creative Artists Agency.
Consider diversity. The National Football League's channel is everything NFL, while The Football Network will offer the rest (college, high school, women's football). But do operators want two football-themed channels? Do viewers want all football all the time? Clearly, only the strong survive. So far, The NFL Network has major deals on DirecTV, Charter, and Insight. TFN has secured deals with MSOs Time Warner and NCTC. The NFL Network kicked off last November, but TFN has been plagued by financial problems and may not run till year's end.
3. Hire pros
TV people are good. Cable people are better. There is nothing like the personal touch. It helps open the right doors at Comcast and Time Warner. Take CSTV, for example. Co-founder Brian Bedol is a familiar face in the cable industry. He started Classic Sports, then sold it to ESPN. He's calling on many of the same cable operators pitching his new channel.
Most new channels recruit an industry vet in their executive ranks or on their boards. The reason is simple: Cable can be a frustrating business. "You need to be prepared for a marathon," says TFN chief Jerry Solomon, a former sports agent. "I've negotiated a lot of deals, but I've never seen deals take as long to materialize as [carriage deals]."
4. Build a realistic model
Cable can be a great business, thanks to the dual revenue streams from subscriber fees and ad sales. But that model doesn't apply to many new diginets. With programming costs soaring for existing services, operators don't want expensive new services. They might be willing to shell out a few pennies per subscriber, but not immediately. Maybe not ever.
And don't count on advertising as a stable revenue stream. Sure, a few advertisers will take a leap early. "Some ideas are so interesting, you can take a flyer on it" and make a small buy, says Doug Seay, senior vice president for Publicis & Hal Riney. An early investment can pay off. Buyers usually get in for a dirt-cheap CPM and try to grandfather the rate. If a channel grows, the gamble is a good one.
Most advertisers want to see Nielsen ratings first. Says Seay, "A lot of people won't buy on concept." With hard data, they see who is watching and when.
It's also wise to consider other revenue streams. Rasenberger is keen on concepts with merchandising extensions. She's handling distribution for lifestyle startup Wine Network, which plans to sell wine and travel packages as a way to intoxicate coffers.
5. Raise beaucoup bucks
To begin, you'll need about $5 million in hand. The initial funds go for research, programming, and a road show to woo potential investors, as well as cable and DBS operators. But seed money goes only so far. The building blocks of a channel—more research, acquiring programs, commissioning originals, launch fees—run into a lot of money. The benchmark is at least $100 million. If you plan a lot of originals or live events, kick it up.
Trouble is, venture-capital money is hard to get. And startups face a tough predicament: Cable operators often want to know there is funding before they'll seal a deal. Investors want to see distribution before committing. It takes time to finesse both ends. Budget for at least three years to launch. It could take six to eight years to break even. Some networks die out because they can't sustain the investment. Jokevision, intended to show jokes 24/7 and commercial-free, has put the brakes on development. Backers are devising a sustainable business model.
6. Sweeten the deal
Understand what the operators want and need. Many distributors are pushing specialty tiers like Hispanic and sports packages. That has helped CSTV and the Tennis Channel get carriage. Startup Spanish-language kids network Sorpresa is finding a home on Hispanic tiers.
Other enticements may help sway an operator. Proposed young-adult network XY.tv says it will share ad revenue with early distributors. A few channels, including Wine Network, would share revenue from merchandise sales. Many are offering high-definition and video-on-demand content.
High-tech boondoggles may also work. Take the Anime Network. The channel's parent company A.D. Vision Inc. already owns a vast library of anime programs that it produces and sells on DVD. Starting a cable channel seemed a logical extension. Except that operators pushed back. To prove Anime Network's worth, the channel started as a video-on-demand service. Big MSOs like Comcast, Time Warner, and Cablevision—all eager to push VOD—were hooked.
Going VOD first, says President Kevin Corcoran, "allows us to demonstrate there is a sufficient demand for a 24/7 channel." At least one operator agrees. Anime is expected to announce its first deal, with Insight Communications, this week at the National Show.
Rasenberger's best advice: "Find a model that is expense-neutral and revenue-positive for the operator."
Then you can tackle world peace.

great article BT I feel high now after thinking of 6.50 a share lol.
some people say the O/S is a problem with Q hitting a dollar in the long run but the way I see it is if Q had a 1 for 10 reverse split then there would only be 950 million O/S and with 950 million I see 8 to 12 bucks a share possible someday so with 10 times that O/S I see .80 to 1.20 possible.
maybe I am dreaming but I truly believe this and frank IS getting it done.
the contract with RCN prooves that.
the only question I have is after your rich will you still trade and post on allstocks BigTip? lol

If I came home and looked at a chart for qbid someday and it looked as impressive as the chart you posted I would be sooooooooo happy.
life without a dream is very boring, life with a dream that has a real possibility of coming true is wonderful.
ok just a little math homeowrk here and I came up with a comparison between HLSH and QBID
if qbid earned the same revenue as HLSH factoring in the O/S of both companies and considering HLSH had a year high of 8.80 then QBID could hit .35

ok this will be a long post but here is MY opinion on the bright side of things and of course bad news earning etc can change this but if things go well this is what I expect.
launch in sept with RCN then I expect subscribers to RCN to be in the 5 to 8% range. I think this will be enough to entice another carrier or two(major carriers) into launching QTN then increased revenue and subscribers should be enough to fund QTN from this point on.
2005
continued growth and revenues each quarter plus sec filings being made by the second quarter at latest. then filing for request to get moved off the pink sheets to another board.(which board depends on pps of stock)but I wouldnt hope for nasdaq yes lol that will come in 2007 if things go well
with continued growth and earning and word spreading and lots of news about QTN then comes launch of LOGO some investors will sell becuase of panick the pps will drop some but then investors should see the competition from LOGO will bring a huge amount of news articles about LOGO that will also mention QTN.
QTN's pps rises again other carriers jump on board. big name advertisers start to jump on board.
the pps for QTN will probably go from .10 or .20 cents a share in january to .40 or .50 by december of 2005.
by the end of 2006 if things are still going well for QTN I would expect good growth but probably not a dollar a share probably more like .50 to .70
2007 if things are still going well QTN could explode(this could happen in 2006 but trying to be realistic I think 2007 is more likely)
this is MY opinion of the upside potential for the next 3 years and obviously if things went poorly instead of well for QTN then this does not apply but I think this is a real possibility of a good long term outlook for the Q

Lets use the success of AOL. Interent was starting to be talked about at that time. Was not big, just like the G&L situation now. It only has begun getting huge.
AOL's IPO introduced @$11.50 in March 19,1992 and was over $70 in early August 1994. (no big deal to us)
Then We all know what happened in 1999 When it was at $109.00 a share. (still no big deal) They actually had about 19 million subscribers. (hmmm, how many do you think Q needs to get to at least $1?)
Here is their history:
May 1985 — Founded under original name, Quantum Computer Services.
Offers an online service, Q-Link, for owners of Commodore computers.
October 1989 — Introduces America Online service for Macintosh & Apple II computers.
February 1991 — Introduces DOS version of America Online for IBM compatible computers.
October 1991 — Quantum Computer Services changes name to America Online, Inc.
March 1992 — AOL sells stock to the public on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
January 1993 — Version of AOL for Microsoft’s Windows operating system launched.
August 1994 — Reaches 1 million subscribers.
February 1995 — Teams with German media firm Bertelsmann to offer online services in Europe.
February 1996— Reaches 5 million subscribers. Leather Jacket given to AOL employees.
September 1996 — Moves trading of stock to New York Stock Exchange.
November 1997 — Reaches 10 million members. Watch in Logo Tin given to AOL employees.(story)
February 1998 — Buys CompuServe, a competing pioneering online service.
December 1998 — Reaches 15 million members. (story)
March 1999 — Buys Netscape Communications Corp. whose Navigator browser
first popularized the World Wide Web.
May 1999 — Buys MovieFone, Inc., the nation’s largest movie listing guide and ticketing service.
June 1999 — Invests $1.5 billion in DirecTV creator Hughes Electronics to develop,
market high-speed services via satellite.
December 1999 — Reaches 20 million members, AOL’s Instant Messenger ICQ
surpasses 50 million registered users.
January 2000 — AOL announces purchase of Time-Warner.
October 2000 — Reaches 25 million subscibers. (story)
June 2001 — Reaches 30 million subscibers. (story)
Moral of the story? It takes time to build an empire!

QTN has between 7% and 13% rounded off to 10% so with a calculator I think I roughly came up with QTN possibly hitting 2.50 a share someday as a maximun of what I thought could happen if things went perfect.
now if things just go ok I find .80 to 1.20 reasonable in say 3 years maybe 4
JMO
So anything is POSSIBLE especially in PENNYLAND.
Take 9 billion and devide by 1.2 billion.
That nuber is 7.5
Take $4.00 and devide it by 7.5 = $.53
SO BASED ON HYPE ALONE it may be possible for QBID to REACH .53 in A YEAR or so.
MW .50 - .70 IS POSSIBLE. If I said it wasnt possible its because I keep seeing that HIGH OS. You know what I MEAN.
Earth_Man
mainly I think if all goes well QBID could reach upwards of up to a billion dollars a year revenue within 3 to 5 years if everything went perfect and with that kind of revenue it wouldnt be that hard to buy back alot of the O/S at .25 or .50 a share or in that range and that is the key to My predictions large revenue and some major baybacks for the next 3 years and all this is assuming the gay and lesbian population loves Q's programming there are alot of if's involved but it is possible.
I would probably sell a major portion of my shares long before it hit .80 if it ever does but I plan to keep a portion of my shares for long term and to of course take profits when I see them along the way.
GLTA
yes, number of O/S is pretty high/ what do You think about reverse split next year???Usually r/s is a disaster for shareholders but how r/s affects stable and succesfull company??
Any input on this????
Frank promised no r/s and i believe in his words and website statement.
Emotions are what fuels stocks in the end...
Even if we had a r/s, lets just say... 1:2 so if you have two million shares, you now have 1 million... so our O/S goes from 9 billion to 4.5 billion, the total spending power of the G/L Market is $500 Billion (US), we tap 1% of this market, so roughly 5 billion dollars.
Our O/S is now 4.5 billion shares, however our market cap is $5 Billion, just by broadcasting to 1% of that spending power. So if our market cap reaches 5 billion and we have had a reverse split of 1:2 to make our O/S 4.5 Billion shares, we have a PPS of over one dollar...
So you Orginal two million shares which became one million are eventually worth 1 million dollars...
However how hard will it be to reach 1% of the market to make our market cap $5 billion dollars? 75k subscribers may do this for us...
any thoughts?

A little something to keep you thinking. positive.
If you put $2500 into QBID and QBID went up just 10% A MONTH you could end up with 100k in less then 4 years.(41 months)
And if you put $5000 at first, then you could have 1 million dollars in just 5 years. JUST 10% a month! This works with any stock of course. But lets look at QBID and what it would have to close at for 10% a month. using $2500 as initial investment.

QTN looks like a huge...huge opportunity to make money short term and long term...King Crimson is already giving me advice for my kid's college tuition based on QTN profits
By the end of September, some of the carriers who lost 8-25% of their subscriber to dish this year will be lining up to sign with us. They need us as much as we need them.
For these reasons + speculation, I expect .25 possibly as early as this fall. Go ahead, put me in the category with Sharki. As Whiz has posted over and over--there are no major networks under $1. The March '06 $4+ is a real possiblity. Regardless of initial pps--I'm holding my core until we get our price. Loved that HLSH chart--anything can happen with pennies.

Friends of mine make a lot of the "Blinkies" that I use. I am a blinkie nut. The little smilies or other images, I take from where ever I find them. I think it makes a lot of people pissy when I post them so....I'll try and control myself.
Some good news is.....My husband tortured me and my little one today, Dragging us in and out of every store within a 2 hour radius looking for new vanity mirrors and light fixtures for our new house. 6 hours of shopping and only came home with 1 mirror. ARGH!
So....What's the good new's? I told him he owes me one. So I get another $500.00 bucks for Q on Monday. WHOOO-HOOO!
One catch, He gets to sleep in tomorrow and I go to Church alone. OK!!!!!!!!!
Hope I can get a good price before the PR comes. It is comin'!
Well, I love your blinkies! No problem here!

That's why my husband wants in. All can see is beautiful half naked women tickling one another. Hey, what ever works. LOL
LOL I'm open minded, but not THAT open minded.
Your husband takes you out shopping, for six hours, and you get 500 dollars?
That's one hell of a good catch!
Here is an article I found about Survivor this season. Interesting.
August 21, 2004
Looks like Richard Hatch, Brandon Quinton and John Carroll will no longer be the only three gay contestants to have appeared on TV's "Survivor." The just-announced list of contestants for the show's upcoming ninth season includes one FBI agent, a mechanical bull operator, a sheep farmer, a drill sergeant ... and two lesbians.
"Survivor: Vanuatu, Islands of Fire" will feature 31-year-old Ami Cusack and 59-year-old Dr. Scout Cloud Lee, both out lesbians. While the popular reality series doesn't seem to shy away from gay contestants (Richard Hatch took home the million-dollar grand prize in the first season), Cusack and Lee are the show's first-ever out lesbians.
"I think it was about time there was at least some lesbian representation on the reality shows," TV Gay Guide.com's Richard Kravitz told PlanetOut. "Many of the shows have gay men, but lesbian representation has certainly been lacking."
According to bios on the official "Survivor" Web site, sexual orientation may be the only thing the two women have in common.
Dr. Lee, a former CEO and motivational speaker, is the founder of the Magical Child Foundation, and she's on the faculty of the Institute for Management Studies. She's a singer/songwriter who's released two CDs, and she's been in a committed relationship with her partner Annie for 26 years.
After leaving her job as charitable director at Denver's Experimental and Applied Sciences Institute, Colorado native Ami Cusack traveled around the world for four years. She now works at a coffee shop (which she says she loves) and has been dating her partner Chrissy for three years.
"Survivor: Season Nine" premieres September 16 on CBS.
Are we expecting a jump when programming hits in September?
Bleech1, I bought more 2 weeks ago at 0055...so, for me, it was a pretty good buy in...do what's best for your pocket book...and your stomach...and your nerves (LOL).
Good to have another face around here! Jump in anytime
Here's to hoping that tomorrow is as exciting as the past week! (LOL)
Crosseyed...you sharing MW now? Man, you are very generous...
Just checking in this am...now out again.
I feel good about this stock. I was not so optimistic only a month ago and pulled out. the deal with RCN has reaffirmed my faith in the company. Im not sure of what to expect for a high on this stock but i have hopes of it reaching a dollar ps.
but would be equally happy with .25 - .50.
make your choice based on your feelings and comfort level. remember this is a pink sheet stock and there is a risk that you can loose all your money, but you could also become very wealthy as well.
I feel like the stock is on sale right now for never to be seen again prices.

hello everyone
Do you expect a PR tomorrow? I'm doubting it.
Seems like Frank is playing his cards close to his chest. We may not get a PR until the BIG one after the convention. I can wait.
November, 14, 2002 XMSR closed @ $2.32
November 17, 2003 XMSR closed @ 21.97
Closed around 27 Friday
They still have not made .01 profit--pps based on potential.
Their o/s is 204.446 millions.
Our o/s is about 4.7 x Xm's.
Do the math. . . . . . . .

its 46 x Xm's if the o/s you posted is right not 4.7 (that would only give us 960 million shares and I would love that. But it still won't matter when all is said. We will all make money at this price.

Make that 47x, not 4.7x....using your formula, roughly $22 divided by 47 = .024, which is right where we were a few months ago. Is that the top end?
Also, XM did some massive marketing, which is part of the reason why they were so deep in the red at the beginning. You may have seen their advertisements on TV or during the commercials before a movie starts. They got some big names (Snoop Dogg, Christina Aguilara, etc) to push their product. Here we are, a week away from launch for the 3rd or 4th time, and there's still no major media campaign or any mainstream recognition.
It's just like the old physics lesson.. A boulder sitting at the top of a hill has a lot of potential energy.. but unless someone comes along to give it a push, it's not going anywhere. So far, I haven't seen anyone give QTV that push.
