Hey everyone,

Been long here since April and have appreciated all the DD this board produces. Just like everyone else, I'm holding strong with 600k. After the news today about Zephyr Advertising, I've come to conclusion that I'll have to get more at these levels. Yes, it's just infomercials, but the experience that Zepyr upper management has in the cable industry alone will bring in some serious income. Here are their Bio's coming off their website:

Dan Zifkin: President & Chief Executive Officer [email]
Dan Zifkin has an extensive career in the media and advertising business, and is considered one of the foremost experts on all aspects of the media buying and selling process. Prior to founding Zephyr Media, Dan held senior positions at many leading media entities, including senior management responsibilities at Blair Television, The Entertainment Channel (now known as the A&E Network), Universal/MCA -TV, the Financial News Network (now CNBC), WGN-TV, and Western International Media. Dan enjoys a first-name basis relationship with all the senior sales executives at the leading cable networks and many of the top broadcast stations in the leading markets. His rich depth and breadth of experience on the sales side gives Zephyr an important edge in its media buying dealings with the cable and broadcast industries.
Dan created and built the company based on his knowledge and appreciation of how a media buying operation needs to service its clients in today’s complex television environment. He is a key infomercial industry expert, and was instrumental in the addition of Sharper Image, Liquid Metal Golf, DeLonghi and other important clients to the Zephyr roster.

Heather Durst : Vice President [email]
Heather Durst began her career at Nostalgia Television in the early 1990s and rose to Director of Paid Programming & Direct Response. During her tenure she doubled Nostalgia Network's revenue and greatly increased its roster of clients.
Heather joined Zephyr Media in its early days and helped expand the company as an Infomercial and Direct Response Agency, and to spearhead the development of its New York operation. She has been involved in making Zephyr Media the exclusive representative of the Classic Sports Network and Burley Bear Network among others for direct response sales. In addition, she has been instrumental in obtaining the exclusive representation rights for all Direct Response and Infomercial placement activity on a number of television station and cable networks. Her reputation in the station industry as a hard working, revenue and result-producing representative is widely acknowledged.

.................................................... ..........................
Roger C. Delaney : Vice President/Media Director [email]
Roger C. Delaney brings a wealth of varied experience to his position as VP/Media Director of Zephyr Media. With over 15 years experience in the media industry, Roger has worked extensively in direct response short and long form as well as in the general advertising field. Roger worked for two years as the head of long form buying for NordicTrack, where he was also involved with short form television and radio buying. He has also purchased infomercial time for industry giants such as Ronco, Guthy-Renker, and Monster.com. As a senior short form television and radio buyer at the Haworth Group in Minneapolis, Roger worked with such well-known companies as Target, Marshall Fields, Mervyns, and other prominent national advertisers.
Roger's wide range of knowledge gives him a unique, multifaceted perspective on the direct response industry, and brings a tremendous amount of versatility and flexibility to the media department of Zephyr Media.

................................................................. .............
Wes Dubin : Business Development Director [email]
Wes Dubin serves as Zephyr Media's Business Development Director. Wes began his career in the media and advertising business at the ABC Television Network, where he served as Director, Sales Proposals for the Central US Division, which increased its sales to network advertisers significantly during that time. Wes moved to the advertising agency Needham, Harper & Steers (now DDB) as Senior Vice President, National Broadcast, where he built its national media buying operation into an industry powerhouse that negotiated network television, network cable, national syndication, and network radio deals for Fortune 500 advertisers like McDonald's, Sears, State Farm, General Mills, Clorox, Universal Pictures, and others. He was named "Cable Television All-Star 1988" by Marketing and Media Magazine (now Mediaweek) for his efforts in bringing cable to the media buying forefront for major advertisers. While at the Agency, Wes additionally pioneered its new media operation, Electronic Ventures, and served as its Director. Wes also worked for new advertising technology start-up Next Century Media as its Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales, and has done marketing and media consulting work for respected industry leaders like Lands' End and Tribune Broadcasting. Wes’s ability to work with companies to help them shape direct response campaigns is a valuable asset for existing and new clients’ alike.

Based in New York City, I believe QBID will get exposed exponentially! Zephyr is deep in the cable industry and know everyone. I believe this will kick start QBID into the .05's by years end. The market responded quite well with this news and we still have 2 weeks until CC.

I knew I heard of the Nostalgia Network somewhere before …. That was where Michael Marcovsky of that one financial scandal fame was Chairman and CEO. Remember Michael was listed on Q’s webpage and under his name was Chairman and CEO or something close to that. Then we found out that he was just going to be a consultant for a month or something….Don’t know if it matters but just trying to link a possibility on how they chose Zephyr …

Well, at least others are making money or money back. Watch for the dips. YOU DON'T MAKE MONEY SELLING WHEN THE PRICE IS DROPPING! BE SMART. Sell and rebuy low, rebuy and average down, or just don't play pennies if you can't handle the swings.

Another great PR will send this thing even higher. And I'm assuming we'll get another very soon.

Conference call should be excellent to hear.

Good luck and goodnight.

Pretty interesting letter sent to the SEC regarding MMM. Could explain the pps run from .0036 to .028 and the retrace back to .0036.

Read the paragraph that talks about Market Maker to Market Maker transactions and how they are recorded in the ACT system. Could also explain the sell that we have seen with QBID. If so...QBID is being accumulated heavily by the MM...WHY do you suppose that is??lol

Volume Manipulation and the
"Market Maker orchestrated Pump and Dump"

Volume Manipulation is another area where Market Maker's collude to create
the impression that there is more activity, accumulation or distribution,
then there actually is. For example, Market Maker A buys 100K from Market
Maker B, who then sells them to Market Maker C, then Market Maker D buys
them, making it appear as if there is 300K worth of volume, when all that
was happening was a "Churn" game that served to inflate volume for the day.
For a more in depth discussion of how this works, please see The Forbes
article titled "One Day Soon the Music's Going to Stop" http://www.forbes.com/forbes/072996/5803072a.htm

The core aspect of this manipulation is the structure of NASDAQ's ACT system
itself, and which can be discerned by studying the buys and sells as they
are reported in the OTCBB time and sales reports, and by studying the
reporting as it occurs in the ACT system. The major distinguishing feature
here is that Market Maker to Market Maker transactions are recorded on the
sell side only (same as an investor buy), in contrast, the ACT system
records both buys and sells by Market Makers when the trade is being made
with the general public.

Lets look at a few examples, and please note that the side of the trade is
inverted depending upon the market participants "point of view." When a
Market Maker buys from the general public, it's the same as an investor
sell, it is recorded as an ACT system buy or "B". When a Market Maker sells
to the General public, which is the same as an investor buy, it is recorded
as an ACT system sell or "S". So the Market Makers report both buys and
sells to the general public. Unfortunately here is where the rules change to
the detriment of the average investor: A Market Maker to Market Maker
transaction is recorded solely on the sell side as an "S", not on the buy
"B" side. If a Market Maker buys from another Market Maker, it is not
recorded in the ACT system as a "B", it is only the selling Market Maker
that reports it. This is the core reason that it appears in the real time
price stream for OTCBB stocks that a bid:ask ratio of greater than 1:3 is
often required in order for prices to move up, since a Market Maker to
Market Maker transaction represents no change in the supply demand
equilibrium of a stock. The excess over 1:1 is Market Makers trading with
each other.

All sorts of technical accumulation/distribution models use volume in their
calculations, and this churn game where Market Makers sell to each other can
be used to manipulate the buying and selling of many who use such technical
models in their trading. These types of churn trades are all but impossible
to discern from retail trades and to my knowledge are currently completely
impossible to discern in real-time. The Market Makers combine this "churn"
trading with artificial price walk downs and naked shorting, and you have the
potential of complete Market Maker Manipulation of the whole price and volume
chart. This would be exceedingly profitable to conspirators at critical
technical junctures such as the apex of triangles and quiet, pre-breakout
trading ranges to make it appear that the order flow is going opposite to the
"real" order flow.

Why are MarketMaker's are allowed to report these churn trades (Market Maker
to Market Maker) as volume, since supposedly a Market Maker is only
concerned with "making a market?" There is no legitimate need for volume
figures reported in real time price streams as well as end of day price
reports to include Market Maker to Market Maker transactions. After all, who
is the market being made for? Another Market Maker?

Volume manipulation is a type of "pump and dump" scheme orchestrated by and
for the benefit of the Market Makers themselves. It works like this: The
Market Makers start selling to each other to artificially inflate the volume
figure over a period of days to generate investor interest, but they do not
yet start Naked Shorting. Now after some number of investors have laid down
their hard earned money and there has been some price appreciation, Market
Makers then start to Naked Short the position, effectively capturing the
Investors Money, as price erodes due to the dilution that the creation of
the short positions cause. This capture of investors money occurs in the
event the investor has a stop loss figured into their trading strategy which
mandates them to limit their losses, so they sell due to price erosion
caused by Naked Shorting. Stop loss's are always recommended in beginner's
guides to technical analysis and automated trading strategies.

I wonder why?
