ten cents does sound good to me. however, i would rather see it goes slowly but surely to take time building up its momentum. holding strong !!! this is not a one night stand.

as one said "all we have to do is hold -launch - raise and bank"
(Whiz, it's a grey sunday morning, just feel like doing some modification)

Modify your to your heart's content. It's a grey day here as well & looks like a good time to earmark some more funds for this stock.

The person up above has spoken again! Just as I was about to post something about that loser I mean Winner person I found one of his posts to say he only has a few hundred dollars and he wants to start investing.

Maybe a basher in diguise not wanting us to keep buying at these levels. Oh well. Nice try.

Admin, keep up the great work!!

be careful who you take advice from.

Unless I'm in the twilight zone, yes I saw several messages including a "Topic" that was started by this one poster. And now all of a sudden its not there.

Thank You.

Funny thing is that they are reading this wondering what happened and trying to be a memeber again. Good luck, lol

Hotlinefriend's,

Why would you state a price target at 10cents. Frank said he wants the price between 3-5 come jan. TW new york and others will be online by then(hopefully). The only way for tha target is if frank retires shares that don't have any voting power. When will the company tells us about Gianni Versace?

expected announcement from FRANK on CC....................Frank will announce o/s new carriers and some major advertisers, beer/toothpaste/airline/cruise line/credit card co./ and more. he will also assure the stock holders that qtv is owned by tmm and the stock symbol is QBID p.k. I expect the pps to run well past .10 as he will also confirm the buyback has been completed and the float will decrease sending the pps into orbit. Thats all I can say for now. The volume next week on qbid will be staggering and we'll be green all week. check out the website at www.qtelevision.com there has been some great changes.

Just want to let everyone know that I was watching QTV in New York for a good four hours and all I have to say is we will see big numbers soon. All the shows were great and if im not mistaking I think it was a digital signal. Anyway for who ever wants to check it out it's channel 255 I beleive its free for a few weeks. Note: The sound and viewing clarity were 100%.

Thanks CashRules & Ron. You are right. QBID will put up some staggering numbers.
We will all remember QBID as a good thing soon.
Good luck to those who have buy orders in and "I'm Sorry" to those who wait.

Enjoy the ride!

I hate being a doom and gloom here. Cause I really like this stock. I have been with Q since Feb. I went from .0009 to .028 (did sell some here) to .0036 were we are now. I can remember after our big run that all we taked about was being at least .50 this summer, maybe a dollar. I lost hope in May when we were at .015 and soft launch was going to happen. Everyone cheering we are going to .10 but it came and went and we went down to .01. Hard launch, yea, we are going to go over a dime and nothing, crushed. July we are going to burst and we dropped. August we have a carrier we are going to .25, we dropped, depressed. September we are going live so hold on, you won't be able to buy at this price again. We dropped. We went live in SF, then NY, and then Boston and nothing. But I knew this was a great stock and got over it and stuck with it.

My point. This is a great company. It will go up sometime but quit getting your hopes up. We will move when we move and there is nothing anyone of us can do about it. I really don't see us moving that much this week. If I am wrong thats great but don't give up if we don't. Most stocks move up slowly and that can be the best thing. I don't see us over our 52 week high this year. And before someone fusses about what I said just remember that at christmas and if I am wrong, then you can fuss at me.

I STILL LIKE THE FUTURE for this STOCK. But I lost 75% of my Investment Capital MOSTLY from QBIDS drop. I am not a professional trader JUST LEARNING like most of us ARE.

BUT YOU CAN COUNT ON ME being BACK on this TRAIN as soon as I can RECOOP some of my LOSSES.


TTCS is where MOST of my money is RIGHT NOW along with a couple others. AS SOON as OIL numbers are released from TTCS I will be able to join my friends again on this QBID TRAIN.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

I agree Ric.
I love Q. I also have made a lot of money with it. I do expect good things to come of this company. But, you are right. I think this is where people get upset with it. Expectations are always of Jan and April. When it does not happen, The big freak out happens.
This will hit a DIME in time. It may not happen over night but it will happen. Would be happy to see a penny as of now.
The Q is on the move and is headed in the right direction.
Frank is doing all he has set out to do thus far. Can't wait for the CC on the 28th.
Just don't expect a dime on friday, if it happens........I'll be leaping for Joy. Just trying to keep it real.

GLA.

I just got done reading over the past couple days. How exciting. Hopefuly My funds transfer into my account before Friday so I can buy some more. Someday, when we all do go to Vegas we need to make up shirts with our username on it. How fun will it be to put names with faces. My wife and 3 kids will be there with their "DINGER51 loves the Q" shirts on.

Pink TV is here (in France anyway):
http://au.news.yahoo.com/041025/11/rdc4.html

French Gays Hail Their New 'Pink TV' Channel
PARIS (Reuters) - Gays across France celebrated the launch of the country's first television channel for homosexuals on Monday, anticipating a pink mixture of fashion, travel, talk, cult movies, music and soap operas.
The launch of "Pink TV" comes as gays in France are already making headlines with a controversial push to legalize same-sex marriages and calls to enhance the fiscal rights of gay couples.
"The gay wave," Le Parisien daily said in big letters on its front page on top of a rainbow flag. But the creators of Pink TV say they also want to cater for heterosexuals.
"Pink will not be a ghetto channel, but one to assert gay identity," its president, Pascal Houzelot, told Le Parisien. "We want to accompany a positive development in society but remain watchful of movements going the opposite way."
Houzelot estimated some 3.5 million people in France are gay, some seven percent of the population, and hoped to attract at least 180,000 subscribers to the private channel.
For nine euros ($11) a month, viewers will be able to cheer gay comedians, enter debates on gay rights, enjoy classic films or watch porn movies late at night.
Gay rights activists say the channel could help make homosexuality more acceptable in France, where the conservative government has taken a strong stance against legalizing gay weddings or allowing gays to adopt children.
"The gay channel helps to show homosexuality is something normal, which is a good thing," said Alain Piriou from the Inter-LGBT gay rights group. "It can highlight that gays are just another part of society with their own interests."
But Piriou said Pink TV, whose launch has caused little controversy so far, would be unlikely to play a major role in the struggle to improve gay rights.
"In our campaign to legalize gay weddings, for example, we seek to address as broad an audience as possible. Promoting this demand on the gay channel -- to ourselves basically -- doesn't really serve this interest," he said.
The debate about same-sex marriages gained steam after a maverick mayor performed France's first gay wedding in June. Although a court subsequently annulled it, many gay couples have vowed to tie the knot.
Some politicians from the Socialist opposition are promising to push for legalizing gay marriage, but conservatives oppose it as an attack on the sanctity of marriage.

.03-.05
or .3-.5
or 3-5


well if you are like I who came into Q late into the game at .0125 and I managed to avg down to .0052 accumulated over 2Mil shares its really sad to see the pps even at .0036

every month I waited for good news, the company has made great progress and all im waiting right now is to slowly reach .0053...i know it will happen and i was never worried even if I havent profited a single penny yet. Honestly I really cant complain because every share I own of Q is $$ i profited from other stocks so in theory im EVEN.

Im with you on TTCS

and Im unloading STEM at $4.00
I bought $3500 at 1.25 = 2,800 shares.
I will put some of that profit into QBID.

QBID reminds me of STEM 3 months ago when i purchased it... STEM was just bounching around 1.25-1.40 this whole time than KABOOM in a week and half it hit bank.

French Gays Hail Their New 'Pink TV' Channel
PARIS (Reuters) - Gays across France celebrated the launch of the country's first television channel for homosexuals on Monday, anticipating a pink mixture of fashion, travel, talk, cult movies, music and soap operas.
The launch of "Pink TV" comes as gays in France are already making headlines with a controversial push to legalize same-sex marriages and calls to enhance the fiscal rights of gay couples.
"The gay wave," Le Parisien daily said in big letters on its front page on top of a rainbow flag. But the creators of Pink TV say they also want to cater for heterosexuals.
"Pink will not be a ghetto channel, but one to assert gay identity," its president, Pascal Houzelot, told Le Parisien. "We want to accompany a positive development in society but remain watchful of movements going the opposite way."
Houzelot estimated some 3.5 million people in France are gay, some seven percent of the population, and hoped to attract at least 180,000 subscribers to the private channel.
For nine euros ($11) a month, viewers will be able to cheer gay comedians, enter debates on gay rights, enjoy classic films or watch porn movies late at night.
Gay rights activists say the channel could help make homosexuality more acceptable in France, where the conservative government has taken a strong stance against legalizing gay weddings or allowing gays to adopt children.
"The gay channel helps to show homosexuality is something normal, which is a good thing," said Alain Piriou from the Inter-LGBT gay rights group. "It can highlight that gays are just another part of society with their own interests."
But Piriou said Pink TV, whose launch has caused little controversy so far, would be unlikely to play a major role in the struggle to improve gay rights.
"In our campaign to legalize gay weddings, for example, we seek to address as broad an audience as possible. Promoting this demand on the gay channel -- to ourselves basically -- doesn't really serve this interest," he said.
The debate about same-sex marriages gained steam after a maverick mayor performed France's first gay wedding in June. Although a court subsequently annulled it, many gay couples have vowed to tie the knot.
Some politicians from the Socialist opposition are promising to push for legalizing gay marriage, but conservatives oppose it as an attack on the sanctity of marriage.

You know if they would start advertising in the alternative weekly's as a coming soon type ad that would really help. Those magazines are free in most popular hot spots in all the major cities.

Having been mentioned today for just a sec. is great free press though!

A nice two page ad in the NY village voice would spark things up I think.

No I doubt Q can charge Pink TV to view
because license rights are per country basis unless Q has international rights

for example... i watch italian soccer on rai international, which is RAI corp.... for the last 20 years they have rights to show the games domestically. This year they had to bid for USA rights against Settanta and lost the bid. So this year I cant watch the games live but only recoreded 2 hrs later! even though RAI corp in italy shows it in direct

so unless QTN has International rights
they get no $$ to license...
can anyone check to see if they have international rights?
i looked but couldnt find anything

Q Television would also serve as the agent for the redistribution of television and radio broadcast rights, allowing for access beyond Q Television’s cable footprint, especially in international markets. The media rights being sold would not prohibit standard news coverage.

Good job KC!
