DIESELECLASS: Why would that effect QBID? I knew that blasted station wouldn't last long. I still think it will last till after the election, then it doesn't have a chance.

I don't think QBID will be effected at all one way or another.

I don't know that it would, just curious if anyone else thought it did...all I had were suspicions...today's close was much lower than I had anticipated earlier in the day...so I thought maybe it was affected...but can't really give a reason why it owuld have been....but the fact that they just did not pay their bills, makes me think that it has no affect...

Okay... so I'll ask again!

Scottrade shows a low of .0029 today... was that a glitch or did it really fall that far down before bouncing back up?

Thanks,

This will CHEAR everyone UP !!!!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND on a stockpicking WEBsight.

15. Triangle Multi-Media (OTC: QBID) - Triangle Multi- Media Ltd. is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Triangle Multi-Media, Inc. operates the Triangle Television Network (TTN). TTN is a distributor of unique and compelling quality programming focused on alternative lifestyles. With an estimated 20 million gay and lesbian people in the US, the market is large and attractive. Disposable spending for this group exceeds $500 billion, advertisers have taken note, making it the fastest growing advertising segment in the US.

A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY !!!!

And we are all aboard this. .04 will be reached soon and after this Cable channel gets set up on Viacom, Comcast, Direct TV etc... We will all look back and Laugh and SAY -- LIFE IS GREAT !!!

There will always be Profit taking at every level. The drop is probably some of us taking there FREE SHARES. I might even buy more now that it dropped below .02 Because personally I think this baby will go above .04 until launch. Then the sky is the limit as long as QBID can make themselves a TRUE cable channel.

Be careful, this isn't how it works. Selling after one year just lowers your percentage due to being a long term gain rather than a short term gain. This stuff will bite you in the butt if you don't get good advice from someone who knows the rules. Pays to have an accountant friend. Hate to see you loose all your profit paying IRS penalties. Good luck and go QBID (Diana, you are my hero (ine) and our furry friend)

and if that don't cheer you up, remember what the ceo of viacom said about their attempt to air a gay channel

Viacom CEO said gay channel dropped
Viacom’s chair and chief executive, Sumner Redstone, lamented the company’s decision to abandon plans to develop a gay cable channel, according to a March 29 report in the Wall Street Journal.
A gay channel could now be valued at a billion dollars, and would only have cost Viacom $30 million to launch, Redstone told analysts and investors, according to the newspaper. http://www.washblade.com/2004/4-9/news/national/gaytv.cfm

did he say a billion dollars......he didn't say his gay channel....he said "a gay channel"

wow, i leave an hour before close thinking we're gonna close around 2 cents and the whole thing dips to 0.015. NOT FAIR! ;-)
oh well, yesterday same time we were at 0.0101 now we're half a penny higher. still a great day if you ask me. I'd rather see this thing correct itself than wildly go up to 10 cents and then drop to half a cent. what do you guys think? i'll see ya'll tomorrow. peace.

I got this from another BOARD.

QBID has made me a FORTUNE!!!!! Been in since .0004, and have bought all the way up to .05! I thought it was a little risky at .o5, but not anymore. I own 6.8 mil. shares. Its time to take profits now though and buy back in after she drops a little. Unfortunately I think too many people are going to take profits near the end of the day. But she is not done by any means. She is going to run from now til broadcast time to way beyond that!!!!! QBID, best stock in all of penny world!!!! -TS

You know what? Today was nuts. I've gotta take a break. I'm going to try to stay away from the computer all day tomorrow, until the end just to see the closing price. If I'd done that today, I'd be jumping for joy! Instead, I feel a bit empty.

QBID $ 0.0183 0.0082 81.19% 1,682,509,121
MY QBID IS UP 81% ON THE DAY WITH ABOUT 2 MIN TO CLOSE.

AT THE TIME OF THIS POST, THE STOCK WAS UP 81.19% ON THE DAY.

SINCE IT DROPPED BETWEEN 2 MIN BEFORE CLOSE AND CLOSE, IT WENT UP 53.47% TODAY.

UH HELLO..... THAT IS 53.47% UP TODAY!

THE STOCK ISN'T DOWN FROM ANYTHING. JUST BECUASE IT HIT A HIGH OF .028/WHAT-EVER DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT UP ON THE DAY.

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE GONNA DO WHEN IT GOES UP TO .25 AND THEN DROPS TO .15. THEN A WEEK LATER UP TO .35. THAT'S HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED.

MY QBID IS UP 53%.

mouhahahahaha Bashers...read this.LOLOL
Bouhaha...mouhaha.


From another board:
"My prediction for tomorrow is a slight gap up and then a trend downward and a close in the red. I think those who are holding for the launch and beyond should not worry. I sold all my shares today for an amazing profit and will buy back in before next week again. A pullback is imminent and so is a run in the next few weeks."

and my prediction asteure big Bashers:
Open at 0.025$$++++++ Tomorrow. ;-)

I know exactly just what you feel. I am truly happy about the jump we had today! but it was bitter sweet. I have nothing to complain about at all, we are doing great (QBID and I =) but I too feel just a little empty. I was a little let down by that drop in price after such a great increase....but I look at it this way...we are still up, and we still over one month to go as of tomorrow until launch. All we have to do is wait until it launches! then we should be sitting pretty.

TA for the Day: from another board

I love the action we saw today... yup including the close. The pullback was simply due to profit taking and we can't blame people for taking profits. However, I believe not all but many of them will regret it. Most likely the amatuer traders that don't make a living by doing this professionally - those of us similar to me who have a full time day job and who don't have the luxury to watch the tape all day long. Many of them will be sad to return to their desks one day only to find that we have left them behind along with the profits that they potentially could have reaped.

Here's why you shouldn't have sold at the eod pullback. Almost all stocks that have such a quick runup retrace like this. It's normal. When a stock runs up quickly such as we have the past few days, one of the most important things a trader needs to know is how low the pullback will be (especially if he's swing trading the stock). One of the most powerful metrics that a TA trader can use to get an approximation of a pullback is Fibonacci numbers. The most common pullbacks occur at 61.8%,50%, and 38.2% retracements. Most commonly 50 and 38.2 in my experience. To estimate the prices that apply to a 50 and 38.2% retracement you have to take the difference between the high of the full run (.029) and the low (.0045). and find the 50% and 38.2 retracements from the low. I'll do the math for anyone who wants to see how this works. Anyway the 50% and 38.2% retracements fall at (.0168 for the 50%) and (.0139 for the 38.2%). Look at the chart posted below to see where these fall relative to where we closed. If you remember correctly we dropped at the eod to the .014 range and bounced quickly. The people who were buying there are what we refer to as "smart money". These are the guys who prey on people panic selling at .014. They were guessing that approx .014 was the bottom and were taking your shares on the cheap. Sorry if you sold down there . Let me make it clear that Fibonacci numbers aren't bulletproof, but they do work quite well most of the time in these situations. I'll post another chart later to prove how accurate this is many times.

Here's the good news. If you did sell already, we closed the day out just above the bottom, and there's still plenty of time to get in. I'm guessing that we'll dip a little early in the morning and then run back up quickly to the .02 level. If you look at the RSI on the chart posted (look at the line that the arrow's pointing to) there's still room for the RSI to go up before hitting resistance. I think we will go up and touch that line tomorrow if we get enough volume - which I suspect we will.

In reality I don't think that any of this will matter as we approach May 15th. There's too much potential here now, for the stock to crash and now we're on everybody's radar. So everybody will be on the edge of their seat waiting for the next "run up". GLTYA.

Survey: Gay Consumers Among The Earliest Technology Adopters
By Newswire Report
Thursday, July 17, 2003

Gay men and women are among the first to adopt new devices and online tools, making them an important demographic for online marketers. That's according to Forrester Research, Inc., which for the first time recently asked respondents to its annual Consumer Technographics Benchmark Study of 60,000 households to indicate their sexual orientation. "Gays Are The Technology Early Adopters You Want" includes data on device adoption and online behavior by gay men and women, as well as recommendations on how to best market to this influential group.


"Gay men and women are tech-savvy consumers who use the Internet and tech devices at significantly higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts for shopping, banking, entertainment, and community building," said Jed Kolko, principal analyst at Forrester. "Marketers need to take a close look at the consumer behavior of gay men and women to determine a strategy in targeting a group of consumers who have been consistently overlooked."


In addition to being wealthier and better educated, gay men and women are avid Internet users. Eighty percent of gay men and 76 percent of lesbians are online, compared with 70 percent of straight men and 69 percent of straight women. Gays are also one-third more likely to have broadband connections and have been online longer than heterosexuals. Twenty-nine percent of gay men and women have been online for more than seven years, versus 18% of heterosexuals.


Although any group of higher-income, more highly educated consumers will be earlier adopters of technology, significant differences in gays' technology behavior emerged after adjusting statistically for online tenure and demographic differences. Gay men, for example, are more likely to own portable MP3 players and browser-enabled phones, and they are more than two times likelier to own a personal video recorder (PVR) device like TiVo. Gay men and women also turn to the Internet in higher numbers for entertainment and community-building activities. The Internet makes it easier for gays to meet online without the pressures of losing one's anonymity and provides a link to the gay community through tools like text chat, instant messaging, and personal Web pages.


In an effort to reach gay consumers, Forrester recommends that marketers target gay audiences directly by advertising in gay publications and at gay events. Additionally, because gay men and women differ from heterosexuals in many of the same ways when it comes to consumer behavior, marketers can treat the gay market as a single audience. It may be best, however, to avoid asking consumers about their sexual orientation for direct marketing purposes. Twenty percent of respondents did not answer Forrester's sexual orientation question - for the time being, inquiring about consumers' sexuality may not be worth the effort and potential of alienating consumers.

Gay consumers are target of more ads

Jaguar, Miller beer break cultural ground

By DIANNE SOLIS

THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS


DALLAS - A sleek Jaguar whizzes past a curve, with the advertising tag line: "Life is full of twists and turns. Care for a partner?"

It's Ford Motor Co.'s latest Jaguar commercial pitch - one where the word "partner" is a double entendre. Gays and lesbians are the target market here.

In this sluggish economy, more and more companies are fighting the competition by going after select market slices, from Hispanics to blacks to Asians. An increasing number are pitching products and services directly to gay and lesbian consumers - in both the gay press and the mainstream media.

In doing so, Ford and other companies - including the purveyors of Miller beer, Mitchell Gold furniture, Absolut vodka, Tylenol PM and John Hancock financial services - are breaking ground in pop culture.

The Jaguar print ads are noteworthy because they come from one of America's biggest corporations and are gay-specific, rather than simply a general-interest ad running in a gay publication.

Measuring the size and buying clout of the gay market can be tricky because so many gay men and lesbians prefer discretion about their sexuality. But ad spending, as measured through the gay and lesbian press, has grown to about $210 million in 2001, according to Prime Access and Rivendell Marketing Co.

While that's small for a niche market, the spending has quadrupled in less than a decade.

Some estimate that those who freely identify as gay and lesbian are 5 percent to 6 percent of the U.S. population, or 14 million to 15 million people - slightly bigger than the U.S. Asian market. Others believe gays represent as much as 10 percent of the U.S. population of 288 million, using the 1948 sexual behavior study by Alfred Kinsey.

In such urban markets as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas and Houston, the concentration of gays can boost the representation even higher. That's because gays and lesbians prefer to live where there is greater social tolerance, says Wes Combs, president of Witeck-Combs Communications Inc., a Washington-based public relations and marketing firm that specializes in the market and whose accounts include Ford, American Airlines and MTV.

Much has been made of the affluence of the gay market.

Witeck-Combs goes as far as to estimate that the gay, lesbian and bisexual community has a buying power of $450 billion. Buying power is generally defined as after-tax disposable income for goods and services.

The highly educated Asian community is estimated to have buying power of about $300 billion, according to the Selig Center for Economic Research at the University of Georgia.

Some view the buying power claim with skepticism and call gay affluence a myth. In June, the Urban Institute, a Washington-based think tank, said that among full-time employed men ages 25-54, the median earnings of partnered gay men was $3,000 below the income of men partnered with women. It also noted that 36 states don't prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Most researchers agree, though, that this is a highly politicized market.

While U.S. prejudice against gays and lesbians has lessened in the last 20 years, "there are still a lot of hate crimes inflicted on gay people," said Combs, a former IBM marketing executive who openly declared his sexuality. And that is why the gay and lesbian market responds quickly to corporations that have favorable employment and marketing policies toward gays and lesbians, he says.

"Get the loyalty of this segment, and it is in the form of dollars," Combs said.

Triangle Television Network to Launch Gay and Lesbian TV Channel
By Tom Bustamante,

Big Business Targets Gay Customers
Companies Eager For Piece Of Multi-Billion Market
Gay purchasing power now surpasses $450 billion a year, by some estimates, and big companies are taking notice.

Travel Web site Orbitz.com is just one of several major companies now catering to gay and lesbian customers. In fact, the company is now airing a gay-targeted ad on two cable networks.

Volvo is also going after a newly recognized gay demographic: families. Ford is doing the same.

Wes Combs is president of the D.C. marketing firm Ford hired to target the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender market.

SURVEY
Should gay couples be allowed to get married?
Yes, there's no reason they shouldn't.
No, it is wrong.
I disagree with homosexuality, but I think it's their choice to do what they want.
I'm fine with homosexuality, but I think marriage is a union between a woman and a man.

"Gay and lesbian people are becoming far more a part of America's fabric ... so companies that reach out to them in a smart way are going to be able to take advantage of earning their brand loyalty and earning their dollars," Combs said.

Car rental giant Avis is aiming to attract gay couples by advertising that it will automatically place same-sex partners on rental contracts.

IBM doesn't limit its advertising to gay consumers. It is going after gay-owned companies in a new multi-million marketing program, according to the company's director of GLBT sales and talent.

"We're in it for the long term. We're committed to it because we recognize we want to be where our customers are," Joseph Bertolotti said. "And we want GLBT business owners and decision makers in large enterprises that we're committed to them and their businesses solutions."

A quick look in the current issue of the national gay newsmagazine, the Advocate, shows ads from all kinds of companies.

According to Daryl Herrschaft, of the Human Rights Campaign's work net division, that means big business sees a big market with a lot of disposable income.

"I think the corporate policies that we see being put in place say one thing ... that fairness affects the bottom line," Herrschaft said.

If advertisers were skittish in the past, most have ceased to be. Looking at TV's primetime schedule featuring shows like Six Feet Under, Queer As Folk and Will and Grace, the gay market is becoming more mainstream.

New Company Challenges Online Giants Travelocity, Expedia and Orbitz, Launching a Gay Travel Portal

New online gay travel portal launched, filling the void in online commerce for gay/lesbian shoppers. The new portal features the largest number of gay-owned tour operators and accommodations properties, all bookable online. Other big gay portals like www.gay.com and www.gaywired.com all have travel sections which will now be in direct competition with www.bluway.com

Atlanta, Georgia – December 1, 2001 – Atlanta based Internet travel company Bluway, Inc. announced today the launch of Bluway.com, the world’s ultimate travel site for gays and lesbians. The new website will offer online booking of over 3000 gay-owned and friendly accommodations, hundreds of packages from gay tour and cruise operators around the world as well as airfare, free travel personals, news, destination guides, interactive message boards and online shopping.

“Gay consumers now have a choice when it comes to buying travel online,” said Alex Khodorkovsky, President of Bluway. “With Travelocity, Expedia and Orbitz monopolizing the online travel industry, gay shoppers had to do their own research to seek out gay-friendly travel providers. We have effectively changed that by building our own reservation network of gay-owned and friendly hotels, inns, resorts, tour and cruise companies, along with travel news, personals, and destination guide – all on one interactive site.

With the launch of Bluway.com, some of the big commercial gay sites with travel sections, like the popular and respected sites Gay.com and Gaywired.com, will have to compete harder to attract both visitors and advertisers. Many of the features, considered premium services by other sites will be offered to Bluway.com registered users free of charge. This will include a travel personals section, gay destination guides and others.

Bluway.com will have the largest database of small, independent accommodations around the world and tour packages, with online booking, offered exclusively to the gay and lesbian community. BluWay’s proprietary booking system will allow any accommodation property or tour operator to sell their products online at www.bluway.com.

In addition to various interactive services it will bring to consumers, Bluway.com will offer an opportunity for advertisers to tap into an estimated 20 billion dollar market of loyal and affluent gay shoppers. According to a survey conducted by online research company Greenfield Online, 80% percent of respondents said they prefer to buy from companies that advertise to the gay and lesbian consumer market, and 44% will buy from these companies even if the prices are somewhat higher. Bluway.com’s site will help gay consumers identify such companies by featuring their products or services on its site and assist others by developing effective targeted advertising campaigns.

“Our community appreciates when a company, gay or straight, reaches out and makes an effort to appeal to us,” said Khodorkovsky. “We have hundreds of straight-owned hotels and inns who not only listed their properties on Bluway.com, but offered special “BluWay discounts” to our visitors. That’s very reassuring – it sends a message of recognition and respect to our community, and these companies will definitely be rewarded with our business.”

Bluway.com plans to reach an estimated half a million visitors to its site monthly in the near future. Beginning in January of 2002, visitors to the site will have an incentive for spending their time online: Bluway.com will reward them for everything they do online, from logging in to the site to reading the news or posting a travel personals ad. The company also begins its international advertising campaign with full-page ads in gay and travel publications this month.

you have to love the location of the q-network booth at the national show, just one other booth between it and everyone that enters and leaves...and still it should be really easy to see! This should go really well, probably hear a lot of things about it once the show happens...
