Bloody. ETrade just started accepting orders by phone while money is unsettled and charging interest after the 3rd day. Ask Ameritrade about that. Posts: 3026 | Registered: Apr 2004

Hey, I finally made the right decision for once by selling at .021 and now looking to buy back in. That's my worst part of trading is the timing. Looks like I got that little gap up timed right, now I just need to find the bottom. I'm not gonna take any risks though cause you gotta be in it to win it and I just want to make sure I'm in.

Hispanic, Black, Gay Networks on Track
April 12, 2004
Michael McCarthy
NEW YORK -- The lineup of cable TV networks is growing again, with media companies such as Viacom, News Corp. and Comcast planning or backing new channels.
After rapid growth in the 1990s, the number of U.S. cable networks either dwindled or rose only slightly each year from 1999-2002. But it jumped to 339 last year from 308 in 2002, and a slew of channels are in the pipeline for this year.
A popular tactic with cable network owners: Launch a spinoff rather than all-new channels, similar to the way packaged goods marketers roll out "brand extension" products -- new, related products under an existing brand name -- rather than new brands.
Among the flurry of activity:
# I want my gay TV. Sumner Redstone of Viacom is planning a gay- and lesbian-themed cable network under the possible moniker Outlet, to be created by its MTV unit and operate alongside CBS, MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon.
With the popularity of gay-themed shows such as Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," Showtime's "The L Word" and "Queer as Folk" and NBC's "Will & Grace," Redstone recently told the press in Mexico City: "The channel will succeed, I believe."
VH1, meanwhile, has ordered a pilot for a series called "Gaydar" in which celebrities guess whether contestants are gay or straight.
# Move over Maria Bartiromo. CNBC could face a new rival spun off from Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. News Corp.'s recent deal to take control of DirecTV, the nation's largest satellite TV service, has shifted the plan into high gear.
"CNBC has no competition," said Roger Ailes, Fox News chief executive, at a recent panel.
But media expert Robert Thompson of Syracuse University warns that Ailes will find the field crowded with CNBC, CNN's Lou Dobbs, CNNfn and Bloomberg TV. "We're not sure the market will support several 24-hour news channels -- much less four business-oriented channels," he says.
# English-language channel for Hispanic audience. Sí TV launched in February in nearly 8 million homes. The business plan: Serve second- and third-generation Latinos, ages 18 to 34, who are more comfortable with a channel in English than a Spanish-language network such as Univision.
Co-founded by former comic Jeff Valdez, the network secured more than $60 million in financing recently from backers including Time Warner and EchoStar, operator of the Dish satellite TV service.
# Competition for BET. Launched in January on Martin Luther King Day, TV One is challenging Black Entertainment Television (BET), aiming at African-American viewers over age 25. Founder Alfred Liggins of Radio One has financial backing from Comcast, the biggest cable operator.
Why the burst of activity? A hunt for growth in an otherwise flat media industry, says cable analyst David Mantell of investment firm Loop Capital Markets in Chicago. "Right now, that wave of growth is cable."
Cable or satellite TV service is now in about 85 percent of the nation's 108 million TV households.
In the annual "upfront" market next month, when up to 80 percent of fall TV ad time is sold, cable networks are poised to grab more of the pie from broadcasters. Cable networks had a 50.3 share of prime time viewers in 2003 vs. a 48 share the year before, according to the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA). The major broadcast networks, meanwhile, slid to 44.8 from 46.6.
The biggest hurdle in launching a channel is getting on enough cable or satellite systems to have an audience that attracts ad dollars.
"As a buyer, I look for as much distribution as I can get," warns Andy Donchin, director of national broadcast for Carat, who buys more than $2 billion worth of media time for marketers such as Radio Shack.
Getting "carriage," as it is known, can spark battles as media giants press distributors to take spinoff channels. Charlie Ergen, chief executive of EchoStar, recently yanked Viacom's cable networks off Dish for 48 hours, in part because Viacom demanded he carry its new Nicktoons as the price for getting CBS, MTV and Nickelodeon. EchoStar blinked first, even as Ergen acknowledged to reporters: "We hated to do that."

I am with ameritrade. I sold some QBID yesterday and my funds were available right away. Maybe the reason is that I had been holding mine for about 2 months, I think that if you do a day trade then they will not settle the trade for 3 days.I'm not positive. JMO GLTA Billy

I'm not totally sure myself but it seems to be the one thing w/ many penny stocks that is actually predicatable. People may just want in once the day begins or have orders from the previous day filling, then it goes up and the daytraders sell, then they buy back again around the previous close price. I actually think I may have played it right today, I sold at .021 and I'm now back in for more shares than before at .0161. It's kind of risky playing this stock as a day trade because you really want to make sure you're in it for the long haul. Good luck to everyone!
