Does anyone think it has dawned on Frank that he needs to release news of another carrier?? Like quick! I, for one, am beginning to wonder about this because we are only 28 days out from Sept...and my understanding was that QTN would be up and running so that a significant portion of the US would have the ability to subscribe in Sept. (Please correct me if I'm wrong) Just wondering about this...we really need another carrier contract to provide credibility and validation to Frank's ongoing efforts. If contracts with various carriers are still pending, then I think now is the time to be up front and detailed with the investors. At least let us know, factually, what is going on...think most investors would be willing to keep a core position in QBID--just want to have real information to go on...not fluff. I am growing tired of being placated.
Also, we are all still waiting for advertising and programming information which was said to be on its way...I'm still waiting and wondering why this task has become more difficult...I'm not expecting pages and pages of advertisers...just give me a few to go on...a hint of what's to come. Think most investors would agree.
My other issue being pondered is this: It must be horrible for Frank to see his pps freefalling from .015 to .0035. If he had the "goods" at this point, don't you think he would intervene...provide more detailed info about a few advertisers, programming or carriers. Again, I'm not asking for the moon, just some realistic and believable info...don't want QTN to jeoperdize itself by providing "all" the details, but enough so we investors have a good feel for what's going on or about to occur. I don't think that's too much to ask, especially when looking at the history and the current pps.
I'm still holding strong. Like MW, I'm not expecting to get rich overnight...think this might take a little while and I'm willing to hold long...think the end reward could be huge. But I do believe our Q needs to become more refined and professional in its dissemination of info.

I really don't think we should be worring about the PPS drop. It's not like any of us would sell if it had a PPS of .009 We are all waiting for the BIG pop above .03 That will take place when they give a PR about more new carriers or right before the launch sept 1 I know it bites to see that we could have bought SO MANY MORE shares at this or possibly a lower PPS..... but we still can!
Say you own 1 mil shares When it goes up to .03 you will have $30,000
If it had popped a bit today we would all be excited about the rising PPS but you would still be at 1 mil shares and $30,000 come Sept
But now you can buy more at .004 or even possibly less.
It's like doubling down on blackjack If youre dealt 11, you take advantage of it and double your bet and get a bigger payout.
This is advantageous for us since we are all waiting for that BIG spike anyway at the launch.
Enjoy the ride and be patient...Sept is less than a month from now.
Oh, if the launch isnt successful come Sept....forget everything I just said.

The Q Television Network Business Model
Replicate proven models of success with niche audience
Advertising Revenue
- Advertising model similar to PBS, with short-spot channel sponsorship ads and show-specific sponsorships
- Founding Sponsors - 50 Q Television Network Sponsorships currently at $200-$500K per year.
- Sponsors targeted through analysis of advertising and charitable spending in gay and lesbian market/causes
- Positioned and purchased as image advertising and channel community sponsorship
- We can increase advertising revenue through rate increase as our audience grows.
- Showcase Sponsors - supply exceeds 700 at $2,167 per spot
- Allows advertisers opportunity to promote a specific show with affinity relationship with their product.
In addition to traditional advertising, companies can also pay for the development of affinity programming. This serves as an offset to production/program acquisition costs as opposed to revenue. Reebok may be interested in funding a fitness show or Mitchell Gold presents a home decorating show. Show-sponsorship offers advertisers the opportunity to promote a specific show that has an affinity relationship with their products. We will focus part of the ad sales team on such initiatives together with the business development responsibilities of senior management.
- We can increase both number of spots and rates based on experience and research.
- Substantial advertising revenue has been pre-committed.
Other Revenue Streams
- Although not initial focus of our plan, ancillary stream may include advertising revenues from the Q Television Networks website.
I received the information in hard copy form, so the above was transcribed word for word. I'm not sure if the references to Reebok or Mitchell Gold are just examples or current sponsors...but it definitely raised an eyebrow. Also, did you catch the part about ... "Substantial advertising revenue has been pre-committed”?? If I find out anything else...I will surely pass it on. Again...if you wish to just share this with friends...have at it. If you would like to share this on RB please leave my information out of it.

We have had more info from QBID since February than I have had in a year or two from some of my other stocks combined. Perhaps too much information. Whiz, I'm with you. I hope the big guy is doing some buying at these prices. Whatever, I'm holding my stash long and ready to add a few more this month. I hope we have a big banner at the party saying "All we had to do was. . . .. . ." Go QBID!

Yes, it is a downtrend now and we need to level off first, who the hell knows where.
One thing that keeps me floating is looking at the 4 yr chart and seeing the PPS go from .0050 to .03, back all the way down to .016 within 2 months and then quickly back to .04 within 1 month.
I'm hoping to see that build on this grusome looking chart! .03 can easily happen. http://tinyurl.com/2cy4c

Franks idea is to use this line to run sound bites of some of our new programming. That would be audio exerts of some of the fresh new programming thats currently in production here at Q.

When you check out their website, they only list 3 advertisers, and those listed look like "mom and pop" shops. This is must look very discouraging for new investors. By now, they should be lining them up. But they are not. Doesn't look good IMO.

SINCE THE STOCK DID NOT COME AND HIT .0058 AND CONTINUED DOWN TO THE .0034--I BELIEVE IF IT HITS THE .0034 AGAIN IT WILL CONTINUE DOWN TO THE .0018 GAP THAT IT NEVER FILLED. IMHO IF IT WOULD COME BACK AND HIT THE .0058 LEVELS AT LEAST TWICE THEN IT WOULD TAKE A BOUNCE TO .0067 LEVEL. UNLESS THERE IS A DRASTIC TURN AROUND IN NEWS THIS IS MY TA ON THE STOCK. I, MORE THAN ANYONE HOPE I AM WRONG. I REALIZE THAT LOTS OF SELLING IS GOING ON. NO ONE WANTS TO WAIT FOR NEWS OR LOSE MORE PROFITS OR MONEY.
1Big thanks for the post--sounds excellent. As usual you are always on top of things! Just would like to have that information from the Q, the horse's mouth. That is kinda what I'm talking about. The dissimenation of information should be more upfront...you know what I mean...anyway...
Don't think I won't digest that post quickly though... or that I'm ungrateful. Because I am actually very appreciative for that info!!! I'll take what I can get and try to assimilate the information myself. Thanks again...woke up and was really pleased to see it...gives me encouragement and makes me want to buy more! Thanks.
P.S. 1Big totally agree about the 100% gain. I think that one could easily happen!! (Laugh) good luck to all.
Hope today is a great day for everyone. Been off am chocolate for a couple of days...moved the Twix until the afternoon. Don't know how much longer I can go though (laugh)

Click link below to see new chart: RSI is bottoming out.
By: gordon_geco 02 Aug 2004, 08:00 PM EDT Msg. 3171 of 3199 Jump to msg. # TA for the day:
OUCH! We got out butts kicked today. There's some longs on this board who fear me for good reason - I tell it like it is. I called days ago that .0038 was the next resistance point, and as soon as we hit it we fell quickly to .0034 and then proceeded to bounce back to the .004 level before retracing at the close and settling back to .0038. Some investors on here can claim over and over that there's no such thing as resistance for pinks, it's beyond me!
It's almost hilarious! I called two key resistance points lately .0045 and .0038 and we've parked at both. This is not magic! It's called resistance and MM's along with smart daytraders watch support and resistnace closely. The MM's didn't park the close @ .0038 for no good reason.
They know exactly what they are doing and they take advantage of ppl who aren't in the know. The same ppl that bash me are the ones that I refer to.
I won't name any names, but most of you know who they are (qtvcomcast...oops). Notice how I never say malicious things towards ppl on any board unless they say negative things about me or my credibility. Questioning someone's credibilty to the board based on TA which I've never claimed to be 100% accurate is slanderous and sellfish.
I've never made comments like "SELL NOW" etc... I simply give my opinion and the ppl who have their life savings invested get all upset. Instead of looking out for the best interest of everyone, they would rather others lose money at there own expense.
A trader with no clue makes comments like..... "Gordon single handedly cause that selloff!" LMAO! That's really funny I will no longer entertain the people on this board who don't know what the deal is or are simply in denial to the truth - because the dreams of riches like Bill Gates has their little ignorant eyes blinded!
Anyway, the chart still looks broken and we are now in desperate need of a correction. We got one positive confirmation on the chart that may be indicating that we're FINALLY turning the corner. The slow stoch looks like it may have hit "bottom" and is crossing back over from oversold.
The most important part of the chart to watch lately is the fact that even with the decline in price the MACD has leveled out and is no longer dropping. I interpret this to mean that ppl are accumulating, but there are enough ppl selling to allow the MM's to slowly walk us down. I'm inclined to think that as soon as that RSI hits bottom tomorrow that we will rebound a little from there, as people will realize that we're way oversold and undervalued. The next level of resistance is .0029 if we have to go that low.
Let's cross our fingers and hope not. I look forward to watching trading tomorrow. See the chart posted below to follow along. After this post I'll put some of the ppl here on ignore so that I don't have to rant on about them. I promise

Wouldnt this be a sweet deal to bury those phukin MM's.......
NYSE's Thain Proposes Plan to Automate More Trading (Update1) Aug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- New York Stock Exchange Chief Executive John Thain proposed that the exchange allow for more electronic trading, potentially taking business away from the 1,366 traders on the exchange floor.
The extension of the NYSE's ``Direct Plus'' program will allow investors to buy and sell thousands of shares of stock directly over computers, bypassing the market makers that have been at the heart of the exchange since 1792. Investors currently can trade just 1,099 shares directly. Thain presented the plan in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which must approve it.
``If we don't respond to our customer base, they will pull their volume off the exchange,'' Thain said at a press conference.
The plan will allow trades to be automatically executed if they fall within 9 cents of the bid price. Thain said he expects the plan to become a reality within a year.
Thain is trying to ensure that the NYSE continues to benefit directly from trading in its listed companies' shares. At present, the NYSE handles 80 percent of the trades that involve its companies. The SEC is considering new regulations that would let competing markets fill orders involving NYSE companies even if they don't offer the best price.
Many large investors, such as Fidelity Investments Inc. and other mutual fund companies, have demanded that the NYSE offer more automated trading. They say they want to be on par with floor traders who may get better information by being physically present. Market makers, known as specialists, referee trading and buy and sell for their own account.
Preserving Auctions
Since being named NYSE chief executive in December, Thain has spoken about the need to allow more trading to be done electronically, without intermediaries, while preserving the auction system.
``Thain is extremely committed to this hybrid market,'' said Mary McDermott-Holland, senior vice president of Mellon Bank Corp.'s Franklin Portfolio Associates, which manages about $25 billion. ``He's committed to change. Even the people on the floor realize they're going to have to automate more.''

Thinking the falls and dips are all my fault. (laugh) If I turn my head and promise not to look until Sept, think the pps will go up. It's my karma, mo-jo (or lack of) that causes the problem....also think if I stop buying that the pps will go up. yep. It's me!!!

The Duplication is uncanning!
Maybe then in 2008, when the next election occurs, Frank would come back.
UNFREAKIN REAL! OILMAN - HOWS THAT LASSO COMING ALONG?
The terrorists' entire purpose in life is to do something else bad, but we are a little more prepared now. Some of the cable companies are really needing new blood in programing--Cox may be bought out. They need us. However, a bigger problem for today is that I just bought more--so look to go down this afternoon--it's Tuesday.

Something is wrong, Its showing green next to QBID, anyone else seeing it? Maybe I'm looking at a past PPS. I thought red was normal now a days?
