There is a message stating this is the 6th try. Wondering what cause the past 5 failure?

At least it means this one is the most mature timing.

The real question is who says this is the 6th try? I know of one try but I've never heard of any 5 others. Who wrote the message and what source did they quote?

Good answer, I started to say email me. This stock should have been at .04 Tuesday but the basher came out in droves. But they can't hold us down when we launch.

I read it at allstocks under QBID topics (a couple of tread pages. Will try to retrace it as soon as possible.

It surprised me a lot for I thought there were only once 2001 6 days before 9/11 (also according to this board)

It's about several pages of thread back under QBID subject on this board. Can't possibly retrace it now for there are so many. Maybe someone has the same impression of the same posting too. Please help clearifying.

That's what needs to be changed. We need people who know about Q-Television before they know QBID, not the other way.

He said He would talk to his stock broker on Tuesday about buying into QBID.
I also gave out 20-Q-Channel Flyers with all the Info one would need to make a decision about Buying QBID at a Big Party I went to.
I got a excellant response, in fact 3-Ladies I gave the Flyers to already heard of QBID.
So the word is now getting out people, But wait till Deveney steps in and does the 16-City Media Blitz, through Radio, TV &Newspaper ads etc, then the world will know about our Q In no time. so lets all try and get the Q-Word out O.K. , Go QBID in 2004 $$$$$$$$$$

National Coalition Comments on MTV's Plans for A Gay Entertainment Network

Fri May 28,11:35 AM ET
To: National Desk
Contact: Maryam Kubasek of the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families, 513-521-6227 ext. 111

CINCINNATI, May 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- MTV's recent announcement that it plans to launch a network aimed primarily at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender viewers underscores the reason parents should be able to choose the contents of their basic cable package.

The advertiser-supported network, named LOGO, will be offered to cable customers in their basic cable package, giving parents no choice whether or not the content enters their home.

"A channel devoted entirely to promoting the homosexual agenda is in direct opposition to the values many parents seek to instill in their children," noted Rick Schatz, president and CEO of the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families. "Consumers deserve the ability to choose whether or not they want to pay for such a channel in their home."

"In addition, it's unfortunate that the creative folks at MTV are not using their considerable resources and influence to create programming that is suitable for a broader audience," said Jack Samad, senior vice president for Strategic Partnerships and Internet Safety.
To Viacom!!! best buy QBID.pk $1.00 a share now to cover up yet another mistake. With the momentum of QBID.pk and the timing of there launch(popularity)Q-TV will be a household name very soon! What are you thinking? Time to short your stock. I am embarased for you!

Great Post! looks as if they wanted to jump on the money making band wagon, but forgot their jumping shoes. They will still do well, just two different directions. Qbid's day is tomorrow. GLTA on tues.

This is exactly why Logo and Qtv will have different markets and competition in the market will be healthy.

Healthier for Qtv, I believe.

1- Logo is advertiser supported, and in their PR clearly stated that they expect backlash from public interest groups. Qtv, a paid subscription channel, will not be "readily accessible" to children.

2- Qtv is intended to be a "family network" whereas Mtv has ruined their chances to be taken seriously as family programming due to the garbage they currently air.

3- With Logo making the PR waves, they break controversial ground for Qtv and cushion the backlash... Qtv is free to ride their wave and expound on all the complaints about Logo with "we have that problem solved" and details. (for example, #1)

I expect we will get a PR with "the details" shortly.

At the risk of sounding like a goody two shoes, can I ask has anyone actually WATCHED Mtv lately? I flipped it on to see what's new, and it was DISGUSTING! What's up with all this body mutilation/self abuse crap?

Okay, maybe there's a market, but all I found were gay-insinuated men-with-men sadomasochistic-style programs... and on a sunday night?(my opinion naturally, and maybe I dont get out enough, but ewwwww).

I never thought about blacking out a network, and I am NOT for censorship, but if I had a child that flipped channels there's no way I would make this channel available to them.

Just sharing my opinion. Anyone else watch Mtv? What happened to "music televison"?
I can only imagine where they'll go when its gay programming is condoned..

I've been monitoring this QBID disscusion for months now and I want to clear something up that has bothered me. We can't use the .25 share price last time we tried to launch as a target infact it hit around .47 3 years ago. The problem is when that happened there was only 100 million shares outstanding ,so if your in QBID because you expect those price targets to get hit again during the soft launch your in for dissappointment in the short term. But if they launch and your holding 3-6 months from now I think all of our expectations will be blown away. Just my opinion
PS. I would like to thank Diana for turning me on to this stock and keep my spirits up along the way.

- If Frank is a gay, he would only work
for the interest of that community, not
hurting it.

- QBID's Family-style would bring broader
consumers within paid/narrowed ones. Good
to avoid opposition.After all, Sex is
only part of life and no part of children

- The above article seems to vote for QBID
Yet, it says "long term sentiment:sell"
and "To Viacom!!!" though. It's rather
confusing to me.

I'm in total agreement with both of your posts. MTV and deplorable/disgusting programming are in the same category as far as I am concerned. I have always been of the opinion that it has a negative impact on today's youth.

And I might add that QTelevision has a respectful quality about it. If I'm reading it right, there is purpose to this concept beyond the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! Not that the bottom line isn't important, of course it is. But IMHO, there's much more to The Q.

As Whizknock says all we have to do is launch!

Excellant post USF11....the big money will be for those who hold out 3-6 months or longer considering the buy back to initiate presumably in October as well as the constant on air opportunity.

You are correct, I don't expect .47 a share prior to launch, no one should. I do expect .47 by Oct, if not more! In fact, the first time a PR comes out naming a carrier, I expect it to go over .60?

I second your tribute Leeman. Dakota, my hubby, retired from the military, the National Guard, a few years ago. His regiment is due to go to Iraq in another month. I'd like to pay a special tribute to them as well, because I know they're on his heart.

Also, to the family's of those who serve/served their country, especially those who lost loved ones.

~BB


BB, your post is a little confusing to me... I'm not sure if you're gay bashing or not - hard to tell when reading... but let me help to clarify if I can...

MTV is no longer "music television".. MTV2 is "music television"... they filled MTV with so much crap that the music had to move to another channel...

but, even though I think MTV is crap, I still don't care what they air.. that's why I have a [channel up] button... I'm not sure what you mean by "gay-insinuated men-with-men sadomasochistic-style" programs, but if they didn't get the ratings for them, they wouldn't be on... However, I do agree with you that some channels should be blocked from what children view - that's where parenting (not censorship) comes into play... and what does Sunday night have to do with anything? I don't change into a bible on Sunday nights, I'm still me... and I don't need gay programming to be condoned... i'm not looking for approval, i'm looking for acceptance and equal rights.

LOL... RANT BEGINS HERE: People don't have to like or agree with my lifestyle... i don't necessarily agree with theirs, but i understand that they are free to do what they feel is right. I don't go into their bedrooms, they should stay out of mine. I work hard, I pay taxes, I'm a good person, but because my heart tells me to love someone that you (i don't mean you, bb, but the homophobic, religious right) don't approve of, i'm an abomination. I've never seen in the bible where love=abomination....

One more thing, if you're opposed to gays or are homophobic in any way... let me ask you this... WHY ARE YOU IN THIS STOCK? Don't give the the bullsh\t answer that money is money and belief is belief... if you are against gay lifestyle, how can you justify your money promoting it? you're either a hypocrite or your not... there is no grey area here.... if you play the religion card, but own this stock, what will you tell St Peter when he asks why you should be allowed through the Pearly Gates when you clearly promoted homosexuality? If you think you can lie your way past St Peter, good luck, bring ice and a cold drink.. you'll need it... going down! If you can answer St Peter with a straight face and a clear conscience, then welcome!

END OF RANT... for those who skipped... begin again here!... LOL...

P.S. BB, if I misread your post, I apologize... if not, then I hope I helped to clarify...

Good call, Leeman... too many people will have a picnic or party today and forget exactly why they have a day off! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION! Remember, these men and women are the reason that we have the freedom to voice our opinions and to disagree publicly... in other countries, we'd risk death for some of our comments... it's hard to imagine when you've never had a lack of freedom to the degree that many in the world face daily. I want gay marriage and I want equal rights... and at least i live in a country that allows me to ask for them... Imperfect, yes... trade it for anything.. HELL NO!..

I'm just curious what "family" is in relation to. Are we talking children because most gays don't have them. Most heterosexuals won't be subscribers so their kids won't be watching. I just don't understand the relative importance of this issue. Isn't this more an issue on programming raunchiness - like airing the movie Bound instead of gay hardcore porn? Not starting anything here. Just curious to know.

Though few ads have appeared in mainstream publications or on network TV, Johnson said it’s smarter and more cost-effective to target the demographic in media specifically for them.

My post did not warrant that insinuation of homophobia, phardman.

You ranted to the wrong girl. See what happens when we supress due civil rights to our peers?
Thanks for the advance apology, but I think your rants can only hurt us, and dissuade people who may post here from doing so for fear they, too, will be personally attacked.

--> There is "gay community programming" and then there is "offensive programming" and in no way did i insinuate that Mtv's programming was offensive simple because it was "men-on-men". Let me clarify- GAY IS NOT OFFENSIVE. I'm all about open boundaries, about as left-wing as you can get, and spent the majority of my NYC years living on Christopher Street. Still, I serve no judgements one way or the other... and I certainly don't judge without having the facts.

What I meant by "gay-insinuated men-with-men sadomasochistic-style" programs is exactly what I said, and I did not know I was paying for it, as adult-themed channels are usually paid premiums. Don't think Mtv airs adult programming? C'mon. Yes, I can flip past the channel, but flipping through and seeing a man holding crab's claws onto another man's bare butt while it pinched to the point of painful punctures isn't my idea of family-fun programming. Actually, it turned my stomach within 2 seconds. This show was titled WILD BOYZ, and appeared tame compared to what was coming up next. I didn't name the show, but I think my description properly captures the content. And no, I don't pay extra for it, it comes with my digital cable basic package.

--> I don't support censorship, but the point of my post was that I never knew that this "music television" programming had gone so far off into adult-land. So, do we expect parents to go through the 2000-odd channels that come with our basic cable packages (on a regular basis of course since programming changes) and decide day-by-day what is appropriate for chidren?
I'm not a parent, but I can see the reason for concern here.
And Sunday nights are kids-off-from-school, family-tv-time, Disney-tradition nights, like it or not. It's a simple fact of mainstream network programming.

I was being sympathetic to parental concerns, not gay-bashing, pharmdman. You see, I prefer to start out giving the benefit of the doubt, and I was stunned once I tuned in as to how Mtv programming had changed.
Perhaps you should start out with the same benefit of the doubt, and ask simple questions to clarify, before you bash the very people who are on your side. I never mentioned lifestyle. I can't see where I insulted anyone except the man who was writhing in pain with a crab on his asp.

--> I bought qbid BECAUSE it is a company that supports the gay/lesbian/transgender movement, not IN SPITE of it.

I think the worst thing we could do here is to turn Qtv into a you-against-us issue. For whatever reason people bought this stock, their purchase is our support. This is no 1960s Stonewall. We have no statement to make here- it's been made. People are well aware of the gay rights movement, and honestly i have never come across anyone who is not supportive of it, but I know they're out there.
It's time to help people accept the gay movement that has already taken place, not bash them for being ignorant of it.

--> REMEMBER, THE SAME TOLERANCE YOU WANT FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE YOU MUST SHOW TOWARDS OTHERS' IGNORANCE OF YOUR LIFESTYLE. And I don't think ranting, using self-excused LOL's or not, is the way to achieve it.

I believe my previous post stated why I would hesitate to invest in Logo, due to the current Mtv programming lineup, versus the family programming that Qtv has promised. And that was my point in the post.


#1 rule of investing: don't fall in love with the stock or let your emotions guide your trades.
This is an investment forum, correct?
I can't "skip it", because rants like that risk turning QBID into a do-you-support-gays issue, which it is not. It's a can-you-make-money issue.

Hey, everybody, no matter who you are, buy QBID. It's a good investment.

BB, your post is a little confusing to me... I'm not sure if you're gay bashing or not - hard to tell when reading... but let me help to clarify if I can...

MTV is no longer "music television".. MTV2 is "music television"... they filled MTV with so much crap that the music had to move to another channel...

but, even though I think MTV is crap, I still don't care what they air.. that's why I have a [channel up] button... I'm not sure what you mean by "gay-insinuated men-with-men sadomasochistic-style" programs, but if they didn't get the ratings for them, they wouldn't be on... However, I do agree with you that some channels should be blocked from what children view - that's where parenting (not censorship) comes into play... and what does Sunday night have to do with anything? I don't change into a bible on Sunday nights, I'm still me... and I don't need gay programming to be condoned... i'm not looking for approval, i'm looking for acceptance and equal rights.

LOL... RANT BEGINS HERE: People don't have to like or agree with my lifestyle... i don't necessarily agree with theirs, but i understand that they are free to do what they feel is right. I don't go into their bedrooms, they should stay out of mine. I work hard, I pay taxes, I'm a good person, but because my heart tells me to love someone that you (i don't mean you, bb, but the homophobic, religious right) don't approve of, i'm an abomination. I've never seen in the bible where love=abomination....

One more thing, if you're opposed to gays or are homophobic in any way... let me ask you this... WHY ARE YOU IN THIS STOCK? Don't give the the bullsh\t answer that money is money and belief is belief... if you are against gay lifestyle, how can you justify your money promoting it? you're either a hypocrite or your not... there is no grey area here.... if you play the religion card, but own this stock, what will you tell St Peter when he asks why you should be allowed through the Pearly Gates when you clearly promoted homosexuality? If you think you can lie your way past St Peter, good luck, bring ice and a cold drink.. you'll need it... going down! If you can answer St Peter with a straight face and a clear conscience, then welcome!
END OF RANT... for those who skipped... begin again here!... LOL...
P.S. BB, if I misread your post, I apologize... if not, then I hope I helped to clarify...

Need to get some information. Anybody from Canada. Need to know what kind of taxes (capital gains) I would pay if Qbid hits it good?

Plus if you hold a stock for more than a year does this affect the tax?.

Any suggestions on getting around the government?

I assume that is a guess and not an actual statistic? You got me to checking.
Ever hear the term "alternative family" or "contemporary family"?
It's when I saw a special on 20/20 and heard those terms that I realized the family unit is rarely "conventional" anymore.

Apparently only the 2000 census report included a checkbox for "same-sex households" and didnt bother to ask them in detail about their kids. I found the stats surprising...

As of 2000:

- Between six million and 10 million children of lesbian, gay and bisexual parents currently live in the United States.


- The number of unmarried partner households has increased by 72 percent in the last decade from three million in 1990 to more than five million in 2000. These figures include both same-sex and different-sex couples.


- Upwards of 250,000 kids in the U.S. are being raised by gay couples, according to the Urban Institute. The 2000 Census showed that one-third of lesbian households and one-fifth of gay male households have children.


- During the past decade, the number of same-sex households “grew significantly” in 10 states for which figures have been released: more than 700 percent in Delaware and Nevada; more than 400 percent in Vermont, Indiana, Louisiana and Nebraska; and more than 200 percent in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and Montana.


As of 2004, I imagine these US Census Bureau statistics have grown significantly, or to be more accurate, they're probably just more accurately counted in 2004 ;-)

I don't know, I tend to pay for programming that's different, interesting & uncensored, so I wouldn't rule out non-gay subscribers. Good programming is good programming, so let's just hope Q is top quality!

Rics! The launch in & of itself won't put the PPS through the roof. It will be the incident that opens the door for the news that will...

Ever increasing subsriber numbers & major advertisers signing on & a host of other events that can only happen after,,,

Q-television web site is very fast now. Is it because of less traffic or better server speed? I guess the later.

i am a selfish pig this is all about money and pharm nobody has questioned you why are you questioning others i am not required to sympathize with your belief system or you mine. just be happy that people see the potential monetary gain here weather they believe in this or not. i tell you what i dont believe in, and that is people that feel they are a minority or "somehow held down by the man" and think that because i dont care or believe in their cause that i have to explain myself. if you like men yes it grosses me out and as it is your right to like men it is my right to be grossed out.

BB,

I got to thank you, I am spending the next 36 hours traped in a secured space not able to leave because someone decided to install a new floor just outside my door. This all over my holiday weekend. Your posts were the only thing that made me smile today. They were well thought out, intelligent, incitefull and most of all funny as hell. Good on ya.
