Exactlly, Maybee everyone just needs to ignore them(Bashers) for now on. Do they still get paid if someone post "Basher" to let everyone know? Or do they get paid on replys only, or just any mention of them in general? We don't want any basher to get paid on this board. We have a nice group of posters here, it's like a Q familly of investors. We all know the potential of Q. We all know better, the future of Q is bright.
Happy Holidays

U4 is too stupid to get paid to bash. a paid basher would have to make at least some amount of sence. U4 doesn't qualify for brainless drivel.

Respected National Host and Smallcap Trader Sees No Resistance in QBID Until .012
Q Television Network receives Positive Coverage on National Investment Show
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – December 8th, 2004 – Q Television Network, (Pink Sheets: QBID) announced today the company received positive coverage on TradersNation.com, known to be the largest syndicated ‘live’ radio talk show for smallcap stocks.
Q Television was discussed on the midday show hosted by Kurt Schemers and Tom Allinder. A transcript of the call can be listened to on http://www.Qtelevision.com.
Tom Allinder, co-host for the show and veteran trader, was paraphrased as saying, "There’s some pretty good stock ownership here, but the stock continues to ease up a little bit each day, which is the type of rise that I like to see, and there’s resistance up between .012 to that high of 3 cents that it had back in April. The thing is that a lot of this resistance is pretty old and there is a nice safe movement on it, I think, and I’m in no position to give investment or trading advice; I’m not going to do that. I personally would be holding onto this stock as long as it moves up a little bit each day. What drives this stock is volume; it gets incredible volume.” In addition, Kurt Schemers, co-host for the show, followed by saying "QBID has huge, huge volume."
"Q Television Network is being embraced by our viewers through subscription to our pay channel and the company is being recognized by the entire investment community," said Frank Olsen, CEO of Q Television Network. "With our network building a strong subscription base, our exclusive contract with the Gay Games and having finalized many of our carrier agreements worldwide with many more in the works, we stand firm on our belief of being a multi-billion dollar media company in the foreseeable future."

Oh yeah. firefly, we're definetly in an uptrend and it all started from that bottom reversal at .0025. It's holding deliciously, and it's going to POP very shortly. Hope everyone here reading has some shares because just like we're all saying "I wish I had some at .0025" we'll be saying that once it builds a base at .01 very shortly.
.0058 is a key resistance we should be passing.
I feel good about this.
Could be another SPEA and look at that, it's held up after going 6000+%!

thought since we just had a buy back i'd share some motley fool info on buy backs
=====================================
Printer-Friendly Version Buybacks: The Invisible Yield
The Motley Fool By Zeke Ashton
When it comes to returning cash to shareholders, stock buybacks can be just as good as dividends, but they're harder to measure. "Share buyback yield" can be a useful tool when comparing the effects of repurchases and dividends.
Dividends have long held a special place in the hearts of investors. I believe it was John D. Rockefeller who once proclaimed that the only thing that truly gave him pleasure was to "see his dividends coming in." While I can attest to the satisfaction derived from seeing the quarterly dividend checks hitting the brokerage statement, the dividend isn't the only way that companies return cash to investors.
Share buybacks are another means to use cash to benefit shareholders and, when used appropriately, can radically increase stockholder wealth. I found a great example of this in Utah Medical Products (Nasdaq: UTMD), about which I wrote last year to demonstrate the power of share buybacks. Utah Medical makes for a perfect case study, because it increased earnings per share by 124% from 1997 to 2001 on an 11% cumulative increase in revenues, primarily by buying back boatloads of stock.
Anyway, this got me thinking about the perception of dividends vs. stock buybacks in the minds of investors. While both are methods of returning cash to shareholders, the effect of dividends is much easier to measure -- the cash is right there to see. Dividends also tend to be issued quarterly, and the amounts are generally predetermined and therefore reliable. If you look up a stock on the Internet or in the newspaper, you'll see right away that it pays a 3% dividend, or whatever it may be.
In contrast to dividends, share buybacks aren't declared every quarter, there's no equivalent to the dividend yield when it comes to buybacks, and, in any case, repurchase activity tends to be irregular from quarter to quarter and year to year. If Utah Medical had paid out in dividends the $65 million it spent on share repurchases from 1997 to 2001, I bet more investors would have been attracted to the stock's high dividend yield, but I doubt shareholders would be nearly as well-off today.
Introducing the "share buyback yield" Let me throw a new concept at you. Suppose we could calculate the "share buyback yield" for a given company implied by its buyback activities. This would allow us to compare the yields offered by companies that choose to pay dividends with companies that prefer to buy back stock.
The easiest and most obvious way to compute a share buyback yield for a given company is to compare the number of shares outstanding from year to year to get the percentage change. As an example, let me use Lone Star Steakhouse (Nasdaq: STAR), a company that I introduced to readers in our Motley Fool Select (Motley Fool Hidden Gems). Lone Star has been on a massive share buyback spree for several years and has reduced the total number of shares outstanding from over 41 million in 1997 to about half that today. Let's take a look:
One could argue that Lone Star paid out a share buyback "yield" to shareholders of 13% in 1999, 24.9% in 2000, 10.7% in 2001, negative 1.3% in 2002 (when shares outstanding increased), and then 12.6% in 2003. Averaged over those five years, Lone Star returned about 11.6% per year to shareholders simply by repurchasing shares. That's one way to look at share buyback yield (and, by the way, Lone Star also pays out a very respectable 3% annual dividend).
Another possibility is to use the weighted shares outstanding as used in the earnings-per-share calculation. Using this method, we would get the results below:
Using weighted average shares gets us to about the same place, with an average share buyback yield of 10.6% per year over the five years from 1998-2002.
Other fun stuff Of the two methods above, I prefer the weighted average shares approach, because you can use it in conjunction with the cash flow statement in the annual report to come up with some fun and interesting information. For example, using Lone Star's cash flow statement, I was able to figure out how much cash flow per share the company has generated, and how much of that cash per share was used for dividends and share buybacks each year. (For buybacks per share, I take cash used for stock repurchases and subtract any cash received for issuance of stock.)
Lone Star Steakhouse Dividends and Buybacks Per Share
As you can see, over the past four years, Lone Star has produced over $8 per share in free cash flow, paid out $1.48 per share in dividends, and spent $7.90 per share to buy back stock. As you might imagine, its shareholders have made out like bandits over the last four years, with the stock up from a low of about $6 in January 1999 to its current $22.

Want me to talk to Rosie? I've partied with her, and we keep in touch from time to time.

YES!!!
We would like it if you spoke to Rosie!
She may not even be aware of QBID. Take a shot at it & ask her to at least contact Frank. What can it hurt.

Anyone foloowing the money flow on the chart has been noticing it's in the red and we're still inching up. When it was in the green we moved from .0025 to .0098.
Imagine when the money flow on the chart turns green now? Woooweeee. I will assume we'll be around .0070 when it will start to turn green.
So lets see. Went from .0025 - .0098 - 300% .0070 + 300% = .028.
How ironic. It might not play out like that but once the money flow turns green, we move up even more.

TheBundo, if you are serious, then by all means try to contact Frank and speak to him directly about it.
Or simply talk to Rosie and tell her all about the Q Television Network and how they would love to have her either promote the network or appear on the Network.
Keep us posted. Thanks!

I agree BigTip!
If he can simply tell her about QBID & tell her that she could be a major force in bringing to life a fledgling TV Network that could spike her interest.
If he really knows her & I bet he does he could be in a position to have a major impact himself.

I'll see if I can get a response from her. I have tried to contact her about many things, but only received a response about 20% of the time, usually involving The Bee Gees, who she is a HUGE fan of (and had them on her show). The only event at which we met in person, we got along very well throughout the night, though Jan (my wife) and her "clashed". We never spoke to her at the same time, since when I was talking to Rosie, Jan was usually hanging out with Ben Vereen (with who she had a running gag all night), and when Jan was talking to Rosie, I was with Barry Gibb talking about a screenplay.
You had to be there............
It got MUCH crazier later up at Sting's apartment.

Sounds good Bundo. Take a shot at it. Who knows you might be the hero of Allstocks.
I've been holding stock in this company for a long time, just waiting for it to reach the level of success I know it will. And I've been watching and posting here at Allstocks for a while now, and it seems like a great place to give and receive info. I must say that your input here is appreciated and very exciting! (I'm sorry for the following statement, but please understand, it's only because of the nature of this medium, one can never be 100% sure). I ONLY HOPE YOU ARE FOR REAL!!
I must also say that when you first started posting you were not-so-warmly received (you know who you are...) and I for one would like to commend you for your ability to see through our fears and quick assuptions and not take offense. You're a gentelman.
Now get out there and send Rosie an email!!!!!!! Good luck!!!!
quote:Originally posted by whizknock: Sounds good Bundo. Take a shot at it. Who knows you might be the hero of Allstocks.
I sent her an email, "gentle", since "loud" would scare her off. I seriously doubt she didn't know about Qbid, though. Maybe my email (and others from people she knows) will prompt her to "stick her neck out", though. But the fact she hasn't done so early on makes me wonder...???
People can change position quickly, though. Financial interests, and many other things, may have kept her out, but those things may easily go by the wayside if things look right, or conditions change. I really have no idea why she, or Ellen, haven't lent their name to Qbid, nor if they eventually will.
Time will tell. I'll let you know if she responds. But I'm still not real positive on Qbid's future, as you may have noted, but it's strictly from my personal opinion of where the nation is at. I think things are in an anti-gay way right now. But, folks, I have no stock in Qbid, and wish you all well, and will do what I can.
But I noticed a posture of defeat even from Michael Moore on The Tonight Show a week or so back. I think the timing is bad for Qbid, IMO.
Then again, the timing could be great. But I won't become a cheerleader, not only for something I'm unsure of money-wise, but for something I'm disgusted with moral-wise.
