Scoundrel, your last point sums up the basis for my concern, except that this has been going on since the PPS was about .0078. Whenever there's been any news there's been a reaction like today. High volume selling and a lower PPS.

I am still very curious about the seemingly endless flow of low price sellers though, I thought for a while they were short sellers at .003 who covered at .0028 but its not usually a marginable stock. So I really don't know any more.[/B][/QUOTE

I know they are putting the best light on the events they can but I think their intent is in the right place for our goals.
If I understand right, the theory is that a market maker or direct trader/floor trader is selling qbid short to raise capital for trading on another stock, and then never covering the qbid short sale or at least not covering by buying / covering with qbid stock, just settling in cash directly to the exchange if thats even possible. This can't continue indefinitely without raising some alarms and closing that operation down. I unfortunately don't know the true details of how this kind of thing can be accomplished so my theory likely has holes.
And yes I have seen the same pattern for a long while now, news of a good profitable nature is released and somehow the price drops, blows me away. qbid abides by inverse rules for now.
I also agree that if MM's were truly in charge of the price at this point they would have forced Frank to buy back at a higher price. So thats out.

I will say this on any stock that I own. CEO's do not have stockholders best interest in there goals. They want their company to make it and make money. Investors are second. Hopefully his goal of making a better company helps us but there are thing that can help the company and hurt the investor. Like diluting shares to raise capital. He needs money to run the company and if getting that money hurts the common investor so be it. It doesn't hurt his investment because for every dollar issued to float a dollar is given to him so he maintaind the 53% ownership.
Now the Board of Directors are suppose to limit this and is for the investor. But since the CEO is the BOD then its not helpful.

MM's don't make money on how high or low a stock is unless it is to cover a short then they would drive it down. MM's make money on the spread of bid/ask. They don't care what they sell or buy Franks shares at as long as they get to buy lower then they get to sell. Example MM's buy at .0028 and sell them to me at .0029, they just made a profit.

the website doesn't make the the company. many company's don't have a web site. it doesn't make them less of a company.
I would rather they worry about getting the channel up and running before they concern themselves with the web site.
websites can look really good but the product isn't that great. Look at CMKX big web page, Racing cars all decked out, and what are they offering their share holders other then shares that may never hit the market.
Be happy with what we have in the network. rejoice in the quality of the product, not the way they pump it up to look.

Instead of talking about o/s and anything else no one has the facts on, has anyone actually seen for themselves QTV on RCN in the cities they supposedly are on.
I am sure a number of folks went thru the IBIZ debacle and hopefully this does not happen again.
We are approaching Feb-2005 very fast for the LOGO launch if that is on schedule. and what about Here!TV, another competitor and already a number of gay-type shows are on television.
We need the target audience to actually say either here or in the media that they would actually subscribe to the network and be done with it. This guy Frank couldn't care less about us, especially if we don't subscribe, all our shares are way less than 1% of the o/s, there probably will be an r/s if nothing else raises the price.
The best may be an anouncement of other carriers and a short spike to escape with some profits.

My only interest in all of this is money, which is of course the only reason anyone buys stock. A website will not change their stock price, a fantastic dog and pony show will not raise stock price.
I figure there are a very few steps to market recognition which will improve the stock price.
1) raise shareholder confidence by releasing a non-vague PR laying out exactly what has been accomplished, to include who has signed deals and a count of what is on the table being actively pursued.
2) A financial statement showing dollars in and dollars out as well as the whole stock position regarding O/S, A/S and the distributions of those shares with a solid handle on float.
3) Issue a minimum of weekly PR's even if nothing new has occured. This has the effect of keeping people working toward that next release, because if nothing new has happened, they didnt earn their pay. Also, those PR's need to be original, not copied from someone else's PR even if you have their blessing. The PR should be released once a week at a minimum, and not at market close on Friday.
Those are the 3 steps toward improving the acceptance and confidence in terms of the stock image, as for the success of the product, I have no idea what is needed there. I imagine Time Warner is friendlier toward Viacomm, but surely there is room for both channels. Somehow the networks need to be coaxed into carrying the channel, but it may take time and some results from the current deployments to make those sales.

I prefer johnny walker black label over chivas although I keep telling myself one of these days I am gonna grab a bottle of either blue or gold label johnny walker to see the difference between 12 year old scotch and 18 and 20 year old.
I forget which is which blue label and gold label are 18 and 20 year old scotch just dont remember which is which I know one is about 60 bucks a bottle and the other is about 160 lol big difference for 2 years
Reading the following post makes me want to BUY more QBID for the ride UP to $$$ soon. IMO With live QBID DD news like this, it just tells me to hold all my shares tight and wait with Patience for that big day when we get the true news that we all been waiting for.

Hey what's up everyone. I went to see Q Television Network at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC on Sunday. It's about 35 mins away from where I live. All I can say is Q Television is definetly the real deal. They had advertisements all over their booth. Plasma TV's running their advertisements all day long. There was a Q Reps taking people's information down for signing up for Q Television Network. Their booth was packed non-stop. I watched from the sidelines as people just stood around the booth and watched the advertisements on TV and signed a form for info on the network and how to sign up. It was Awesome!! So many people where signing the forms to get Q on their TV. I feel so confident now. I don't care what anyone says on any of these message boards.. I guess I just needed to be reassured I invested in something I believe in and I sure do believe in Q Television Network. The reps answered many questions I had lined up and they where very polite.
Good Luck everyone!

I'm wondering what a typical day is like at QBID these days. What is it that takes so long for a company to national. I realize it is a daunting task and I'm not saying they're doing a terrible job. I'd just like to know what the offices are doing now.
Is it out of the question for the investors to each donate $10 bucks or so to have one of us go out there and speak directly with Frank and Steve? Perhaps take some pictures of the offices and watch the business work during the day? Matt

dont even go there lol you are going to invoke a riot with that plan

To be honest I think you should change that to "All we ever HAVE to do is launch!" To say All we ever HAD to do is like saying we're in the future and QBID never did anything. Almost scares me to think like that. Matt
