I think that sums up how I feel... listen we all take risks... add up how much food we have eaten up McCrapola's and at Burger Slop in our life times and that is what probably most of us have put into Qbid, 1-3k dollars... We have blown that on crappy fast food that goes no where but down the toilet
I've spent 1500 to go to Mexico for 6 days... And it was 'alright'... I invested my money into Q back in Feb... So far I have gotten more than its value in entertainment alone!!!

Disagree, based on all of the responses I've seen here and in other threads.
Any time someone posts negative information, they are booed offstage. Anytime someone posts superbly wonderful, yet unsubstantiated claims, they are cheered on like a one legged marathon runner. The impression I get is that most people here are dreamers who are more interested in feeling good about themselves than actually making money. If this wasn't the case, I don't think everyone who posts information or an opinion contrary to the popular belief would be labeled a basher on the payroll of some nefarious market maker. It seems apparent to me that the only opinions considered useful here are those that promise us riches and early retirement for all.

I may disagree with you on some of the things you believe, but I have never "booed" you offstage. The point is people can believe what they want. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. On the other hand, I do not believe that someone who does not own the stock , or does not own it anymore, should waste their time and energy posting nothing but negative comments. If they feel compelled to comment, why not just explain the reasons they bought and sold, and move on?

Yes not you in particular, and I wasn't really talking about myself being booed away so much as several others on the board. These people might have obtuse methods like typing in all caps and starting new threads to post information, but nonetheless raise valid points to be considered. There have also been a few people who came in to ask serious questions, only to get berated as paid bashers while the conversation quickly moved back to mindless discussions of pickles and the use of turkey basters for sexual purposes. Not the kind of talk one expects from a message forum about trading stocks. Easily ignored of course, but sifting through 10 pages of garbage to find one useful bit of info can't make it easy for people just starting out.
quote:The point is people can believe what they want.
So true. However, there's a difference between beliefs and facts. The crazy guy on the street corner "believes" he is being chased by aliens disguised as FBI agents. The poor uneducated person who shows up on Benny Hinn's show to get slapped in the head and have god chase away the demons causing her cancer may "believe" that she is cured... You may "believe" that Frank Olsen is a competent person who really is going to change the world of television and make you rich. However, believing in these things obviously doesn't make them true. Therefore, people who go on believing in hype and lies from CEOs while watching their profits turn into losses are utilizing a losing strategy that should probably be re-evaluated.
quote:I do not believe that someone who does not own the stock , or does not own it anymore, should waste their time and energy posting nothing but negative comments.
Have to disagree with you again. Ever watch MSNBC or Bloomberg TV or any investment show? Anytime an analyst is on air providing information and opinions, the show includes a list of the analyst's personal connections to the stock (ie their own personal holdings, family members' holdings, whether or not the fund they manage owns shares, etc.) The point is to show that the person providing the opinion has *no* connection to the stock, as their opinion is considered to be more objective.
And again, it's useful to have a contrarian around to play devil's advocate and raise points that you may not have thought about. This can only strengthen your knowledge of the situation and improve your decision making process. Simply hearing that you're going to be rich soon isn't very helpful when the company can't get their act together and the pps is falling.

Yes..it's a Saturday ritual at my house. Most of the time I watch Forbes on Fox, Bulls and Bears, and Cashin' In. And most of the time, several of the investors have differing opinions which ends up looking like something off of Monday night wrestling(which I also watch).
I respect everyone's opinion, but I rely on my own information and research. And to be fair, yes I wish things would have moved faster, without delays...but I live in the real world where I am used to dealing with delays, red tape and all sorts of different obstacles which prevents my day from going the way I had it planned. I try to look at it from every angle instead of jumping to conclusions. By no means am I a patient person, but I try to keep an open mind.

You'd think there would be more people like that on a stock trading forum full of people with their money on the line...but apparently we're all going to be millionaires next week, so screw the facts

quote:Originally posted by RobinO: I've never been a fan of this 'stat'.. it's completely unsubstantiated and doesn't really mean anything anyway. RCN reaches something like 400,000 households I think. Let's be generous and say 12% of those people are gay. That gives them a target audience of about 48,000 people. Assume they pull some huge media blitz and attract 20% of that group.. They're at about 9600 subscribers. The gay community as a whole may command some huge amount of money, but 10,000 subscribers won't keep QTV afloat very long.
Anyway thanks for being a sport. Realize that I'm not trying to be mean, just tossing a dose of reality in the mix. A lot of people bought in at the .01 to .02 range because they believed a lot of the same stuff that has been pumped here. Many of them are probably down 50-70% and wondering what's going on. I think it's important for them to view this in comparison with other stocks that were sure to make us all millionaires as well........

LISTEN very CAREFULLY. RCN is NOT the only Cable Company that will be carrying QTN (QBID). RCN is merely the 1st to release a PR along side QBID stating Carriage. SO IF YOU ARE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO ALL THE NEWS and DD you WOULD NOT POST THIS GARBAGE.
OTHER CARRIAGE AGREEMENTS ARE BEING NEGOTIATED as we speak. AND SOME are already in the final processes. REMEMBER Frank is staying under the RADAR right now. Many people outside this Investment would like to see a GAY network FAIL HARD !!!! And major cable companies realize this and are very careful how they proceed with this delicate business matter.

It is my understanding that In-Demand which is owned by TW and Commcast, will be showing Here! They are going to focus on making Here! into a network depending on the success of it showing on In-Demand.

Sometimes even Radio stations are good to contact because you never know they can mention it even for 5 seconds and someone will pick it up on the other end.

I am a supporter of QBID with nearly 4 million shares, and although I would love to see $20 per share, we need to be realistic.
Look at the O/S for some of those smaller companies listed above. The largest O/S that I could find was about 500 million. Now, If QBID is VERY successful in the future and had a market cap of around 1 billion, it would have to retire between 7 and 9 BILLION shares to be in that $20 per share range.
I like to be optimistic, but we must be realistic.
The variables here are Market cap and O/S count. Everyone should form thier own opinion here.
What do you think this company could be worth if successful?
and
How low do you think Frank can get the O/S count to?
My 1 year guesses are:a company worth 1 billion with an O/S of 5 billion. Divide the two and you get a PPS of 20 cents.

Morning all. Tipper, not sure I understand why a couple religious stations are on your list. Not to mention, emailing random radio stations is a bit far out there, but go for it if you want.

jiggin - Who knows whats going to happen in 2009? Maybe all those shares would be retired? maybe a reverse split might have happened? Maybe Triangle is bought out by another company. To many factors come into play.
Q Television, a network devoted to providing television programming for the gay and lesbian community, announced it has overcome its technical problems and will launch Sept. 8. "We have two goals for the network, our first goal at Q Television Networks is to rapidly grow to 150,000 subscribers within the first year and 250,000 the second year," Frank Olsen president and CEO of Q Television said in a press release. "Secondly, we want to make the Network interactive with its subscribers through a unique use of some of the latest technology." While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public. http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/article/2414654
