Hey everybody, its been quite a while. Most of you probably don't remember me as I haven't really posted since spring. I worked my @ss off all summer and was always too tired to do anything else. Now, I am away at college again, and have been keeping up reading the board, but haven't posted. The reason I am posting now is about the press releases. I noticed that somebody posted something from a guy saying to watch the news in the AM (he posted this wednesday night after the first press release). I noticed somebody said something about eight press releases (one a day) in a row. Is there any truth to this????....as far as the reliability of the source (ie..was this said by the same cat that said to stay tuned to this mornings news?) Also, do we now have a new press company? I noticed the news stories say contact CWR & Partners rather than Deveney Communications. So, if this is true, which I assume it is, when exactly did we stop using Deveney for our press? I noticed the last article by them is from the end of June. As of now, I have sold everything in IBZT and WNMI for major losses. I didn't have a lot vested in those companies, but just couldn't take it anymore. I am still in HQNT, GZFX, and QBID. In fact, I bought more QBID this morning with some extra cash I had in my account. I am really looking forward to the next few months, and good luck to all of you QBID longs...eventually it will all come together nicely. Josh IP: Logged |

glf your are very intuitive. Your statements seem to be accurate on all counts regarding this thread (QTN). U has been going off for a month or so. QTN has a new PR firm. It looks much better. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=qbid.pk IP: Logged |

quote: I was just about to chime in on that also. You are completely correct. Hedge funds cam be good, but it is them, not the MM's that are responsible for most of the naked shorting. Note I said most, not all. Most hedge funds are managed by daytraders. They flip positions quickly and can make or break a small cap company. They will buy a stock one day and run it up, then dump everything and short it the next day. However, you can make bank on a small cap that is controlled (according to that guy, his company owns about 25%) by a hedgefund by making your trades in the same fashion. The difference is we as normal investors can't short a stock under $5 like a hedgefund can. IP: Logged |

Thanks for that info...I actually looked into hedgefunds earlier, but, must admit, it's confusing...SO, if a Hedgefund is involved here, how will our shares be affected? Could this be why pps's have stayed the same for the last two days with press releases...? May not even be relevant, but just trying to cover all angles, as usual. IP: Logged |

I would THINK it would be in a Hedgefund's best interest for the pps to go up, but that may not be the case when you look at other stocks that are naked shorted...am I way off base here...feel free to offer any opinions...I'm just trying to figure out if this Marco guy is good for us or not... I know one thing that is good for QBID--awesome press releases.... IP: Logged |

quote: When a hedgefund is buying, assuming it is in the open market, it helps the PPS. Usually they don't buy all at once since it would take the PPS up too high, too quick. They usually accumulate over a period of time. However, they can create an artifical run or drop by buying or selling large amounts all at once. If you have the time, read the book, "Ugly Americans" by Ben Mezrich. Its about how hedge funds contributed to the collapse of the Asian markets back in the 90's. That will show you how powerful a hedgefund can be. As far as Q, it all depends on what the fund manager has in mind. Hedgefund managers are very deliberate when they buy or sell. They also don't have to play by the same rules that you and I do. IP: Logged |

According to Marco, he already has the shares ( I think anyway...sounded that way)...so...he just waits to sell them...or is he somehow suppose to buy the 350 million shares he said were restricted. Ideas? BTW...appreciate this information. IP: Logged |

On a side note, Hedgefunds almost never purchase restricted shares, since they hate restrictions of any type. But if the shares that Marco and his company own are restricted, that will add stability to the PPS until those restrictions are lifted. IP: Logged |

The only inconsistency that we all noted was the time frame in which Marco said he would sell...6 months or 1 year...did you notice that, too? And that's what got my gut all twisted up today...LOL Want to make sure he's not going to sell his shares...want them to be definitely RESTRICTED. IP: Logged |

So far what Marco has stated has come true, but I still believe that if he is who he says he is, his is violating insider information laws. If that is the case, that could be bad for Q. (Not trying to worry you Sunny, I'm just doing the "what if" thing) You are right with his discrepencies, I have noticed them too. If he does work for a hedgefund, I doubt his shares are restricted. If he is not part of a hedgefund, then his shares may be restricted, which is better for Q. IP: Logged |

I don't know a lot about hedge funds but do know people who manage them. My primary understanding of them, though, is that they invest in stocks that are low risk. I may be wrong, but isn't that their primary strategy? So if we have some hedge funds buying into Q doesn't that make us feel more secure? In short, this summarizes my understanding: -->A hedge fund is a fund that can take both long and short positions, use arbitrage, buy and sell undervalued securities, trade options or bonds, and invest in almost any opportunity in any market where it foresees impressive gains at reduced risk. Hedge fund strategies vary enormously -- many hedge against downturns in the markets -- especially important today with volatility and anticipation of corrections in overheated stock markets. The primary aim of most hedge funds is to reduce volatility and risk while attempting to preserve capital and deliver positive returns under all market conditions. Overall, they would be taking advantage of Q's low pps hedging that there is an upturn? I can't imagine they think we're overvalued ;-) ~BB IP: Logged |

BB--I think I found that on Yahoo...lol...I initially thought that it would be beneficial to our pps, but reading from a variety of sites on line made me realize that a lot depends on who has the shares and what their goal is...all can effect the share value...but, hey, I'm a novice here...so take what I say lightly...trying more to learn about all of these endless investing options... Thinking we'll see more green tomorrow because we're heading into a weekend. Monday could bring us incredible news, especially since with every passing day, we get closer to October 1st. IP: Logged |

It depends on the hedgefund manager. There may be some hedgefunds that are low risk, but most exploit market conditions, especially violitility and engage in high risk trades. Thats why many of them play options. I would imagine that any hedgefund that would put money into a pink sheet stock is one of the high risk ones. If they were a low risk one, they would not touch any pink sheet stock. Hedgefunds are one of the most corrupt (not all of them) types of financial institutions. They constantly break rules and get away with it. Thats is also why a lot of hedgefunds are located at offshore banks and financial institutions. Because of the risky types of transactions that hedgefunds make, they usually have a higher rate of return or loss as compared to mutual funds and other types of funds. IP: Logged |

Marco is the Capital Manager, so he is placing investors with Q. That could mean hedge funds, private investors, etc... His website http://www.magnum.com/hedgefunds/abouthedgefunds.asp states that. He stated in one of his emails that he was giving us info that was public knowledge and would not divulge info that would constitute insider info. quote: Marco also said his shares are restricted in one of his posts: I was worried as well until I read that. He seems careful and informed about what he is saying.

If that is the case, then it sounds good for Q. Looks like I read that post too quickly. I still think he is treading on insider info laws. He did say that Q is announcing a deal with Time Warner soon. That is not public knowledge. If he is for real, and for now it looks that way, that would be giving out insider info. IP: Logged |

Dear XWhiz, Hope the passing of a day has helped your situation. As an older lady who's been around the block several times, here's a little unsoliciated advice. We all want more attention. HOWEVER. . . . Whiz has never been anything but a true gentleman. You know EXACTLY where he is and what he is doing. By doing his DD and sharing with others he is hoping to secure a real financial windfall for himself and those he LOVES. Ideally it will mean more security for you and any future little Whizzes, Canine Whizzes, Feline Whizzes, etc. So while you're justified in feeling in way you need to feel, please look at the big picture.

kb, now you're starting to worry me!! He's not your typical IBM exec, is he? I took a $707 loss yesterday to get an additional 1mil shares because I thought the pps was about to jump. Shows my naivety. The stock I sold, per my # of shares went up $480 today. What a kick in the head. And we closed the same as yesterday. Over time, in your opinion, will I look back and laugh and not regret what I did? Or maybe better yet, I could have everyone send me $100 and I'd promise to sell and the Qbid stock would be gaurenteed to increase in value!!HA!! IP: Logged |

I'm not sure, what stock did you sell? I am torn on QBID right now. As for now, I only occasionally daytrade it. Right now, I choose not to invest in Q. I won't get into reasons. Since I started posting regularly again, I said I was not going to say bad or good things about Q, just that I would react to the situation accordingly. So far, with the exception of a minor squabble with an old foe, that I proved wrong and is settled, I have just offered insight into what is happening now, but even when I was willing to bet the farm on Q back in the days, I was never fond of Frank, and I have spoken with him a few times. I will say that he does make himself available to investors who choose to call, but in his case, that may not be so good.

Yeap. Just want to clear things up for newbies. If you think you need looks to be successful then you need to look around you. Bob's Furniture is huge here in CT and the CEO is in commercials with ripped jeans and a t-shirt and looks like a kids from highschool that everyone teased. I've spoken to Frank and he is the most sincere person who will take the time to explain things to you. He also has a business mind and a lot of motivation to achieve his goals. I personally would love to see more pictures of him. It makes it feel real as opposed of not seeing faces when you have thousands of dollars invested in the company. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

agreed but unfortunatly we dont have any control over that. He has been his own worst enemy which is reflected in the pps, but however, I dont think that even Frank at this point could ruin this deal. the wheels are in motion, we are airing in San Fran, accordign to RCN the rest of the cities around the country are turned on in 10 days, we have 6 more prs coming out in the next 6 days. I do however see a patern towards the .05 price tag yet again arising in yet another area. as being a top end price over the next 6 months. i do believe if we make it that high i will sell out and take my proffits then. .05 seems to be a majical number I seem to remember that there was a letter posted stating that Frank told someone that he felt that the stock was only worth .05 could be a coincedence that they are all thinking .05, but it is something that i have observed on many occasions.

I don't really know much about that stock, sorry. Check out this thread... http://www.allstocks.com/stockmessageboard/ubb/Forum8/HTML/007540.html It is very informative and was put together very nicely. You can get most of the Q history there. I don't really want to start an argument that seems to repeat itself time and again over here. I'm sure after reading that thread, you will understand a lot of my concerns. Although not all of them are covered there, I'm sure you'll get most of it. I will say that although I am concerned with Q's outlook, don't take what U4TSAF2 says seriously. Much of what he says has truth behind it, but he likes to put his own spin on it. I would also direct you to what RobinO posts. He/She seems to present the similar concerns I have in a much better way than UTSAF2 does. RobinO has posted on this thread many times, so you won't have to go back too far to find it. Most of my posts about my concerns are from many threads ago and would probably take you a while to find. Come to your own conclusions and regardless to what you decide, always listen to both sides of what people on here post, especially to the people you disagree with. If you disagree with someones point of view on here, just know why you don't agree with them. Don't blindly believe one side or the other because its what you want to believe. Hope that helps, and I hope you understand me not wanting to start another war on here. IP: Logged |
