Good info and refresher course for us all on PINKS.
Microcap Stock: A Guide for Investors August 2004 Information is the investor's best tool when it comes to investing wisely. But accurate information about "microcap stocks" — low-priced stocks issued by the smallest of companies — may be difficult to find. Many microcap companies do not file financial reports with the SEC, so it's hard for investors to get the facts about the company's management, products, services, and finances. When reliable information is scarce, fraudsters can easily spread false information about microcap companies, making profits while creating losses for unsuspecting investors.
In the battle against microcap fraud, the SEC has toughened its rules and taken actions against wrongdoers, but we can't stop every microcap fraud. We need your help in winning the battle. Before you consider investing in a microcap company, arm yourself first with information. This alert tells you about microcap stocks, how to find information, what "red flags" to consider, and where to turn if you run into trouble.
What Is a Microcap Stock? The term "microcap stock" applies to companies with low or "micro" capitalizations, meaning the total value of the company's stock. Microcap companies typically have limited assets.
Where Do Microcap Stocks Trade? Many microcap stocks trade in the "over-the-counter" (OTC) market and are quoted on OTC systems, such as the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) or the "Pink Sheets."
The "Pink Sheets" The Pink Sheets — named for the color of paper on which they've historically been printed — are listings of price quotes for companies that trade in the over-the-counter market (OTC market). "Market makers" — the brokers who commit to buying and selling the securities of OTC issuers-can use the pink sheets to publish bid and ask prices. A company named Pink Sheets LLC, formerly known as the National Quotation Bureau, publishes the pink sheets in both hard copy and electronic format. Pink Sheets LLC is not registered with the SEC as a stock exchange, nor does the SEC regulate its activities.
How Are Microcap Stocks Different From Other Stocks? Lack of Public Information The biggest difference between a microcap stock and other stocks is the amount of reliable, publicly available information about the company. Larger public companies file reports with the SEC that any investor can get for free from the SEC's website. Information about microcap companies can be extremely difficult to find, making them more vulnerable to investment fraud schemes.
No Minimum Listing Standards Companies that trade their stocks on major exchanges and in the Nasdaq Stock Market must meet minimum listing standards. For example, they must have minimum amounts of net assets and minimum numbers of shareholders. In contrast, companies on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets do not have to meet any minimum standards.
Risk While all investments involve risk, microcap stocks are among the most risky . Many microcap companies tend to be new and have no proven track record. Some of these companies have no assets or operations. Others have products and services that are still in development or have yet to be tested in the market. Another risk that pertains to microcap stocks involves the low volumes of trades. Because microcap stocks trade in low volumes, any size of trade can have a large percentage impact on the price of the stock.
Which Companies File Reports With the SEC? In general, the federal securities laws require all but the smallest of companies to file reports with the SEC. A company can become "public" in one of two ways — by issuing securities in an offering or transaction that's registered with the SEC or by registering the company and its outstanding securities with the SEC. Both types of registration trigger ongoing reporting obligations, meaning the company must file periodic reports that disclose important information to investors about its business, financial condition, and management.
This information is a treasure trove for investors: it tells you whether a company is making money or losing money and why. You'll find this information in the company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports (with audited financial statements) on Form 10-K, and periodic reports of significant events on Form 8-K.
A company must file reports with the SEC if:
it has 500 or more investors and $10 million or more in assets; or
it lists its securities on the following stock markets: American Stock Exchange Boston Stock Exchange Chicago Stock Exchange Cincinnati Stock Exchange International Securities Exchange Nasdaq Stock Market New York Stock Exchange Pacific Exchange Philadelphia Stock Exchange; or its securities are quoted on the OTCBB.
Which Companies Don't Have to File Reports With the SEC? Smaller companies — those with less than $10 million in assets — generally do not have to file reports with the SEC. But some smaller companies, including microcap companies, may choose voluntarily to register their securities with the SEC.
A Word About Offering Requirements Any company that wants to offer or sell securities to the public must either register with the SEC or meet an exemption. Here are two of the most common exemptions that many microcap companies use:
"Reg A" Offerings Companies raising less than $5 million in a 12-month period may be exempt from registering their securities under a rule known as Regulation A. Instead of filing a registration statement through EDGAR, these companies need only file a printed copy of an "offering circular" with the SEC containing financial statements and other information.
"Reg D" Offerings Some smaller companies offer and sell securities without registering the transaction under an exemption known as Regulation D. Reg D exempts from registration companies that seek to raise less than $1 million dollars in a twelve-month period. It also exempts companies seeking to raise up to $5 million, as long as the companies sell only to 35 or fewer individuals or any number of "accredited investors" who must meet high net worth or income standards. In addition, Reg D exempts some larger private offerings of securities. While companies claiming an exemption under Reg D don't have to register or file reports with the SEC, they must still file what's known as a "Form D" within a few days after they first sell their securities. Form D is a brief notice that includes the names and addresses of owners and stock promoters, but little other information about the company. You may be able to find out more about Reg D companies by contacting your state securities regulator. You will find the contact information for your state securities regulator at www.nasaa.org. Unless they otherwise file reports with the SEC, companies that are exempt from registration under Reg A, Reg D, or another offering exemption do not have to file reports with the SEC. For more information about the registration requirements and offering exemptions, read Q&A: Small Business and the SEC.
What's So Important About Public Information? Many of the microcap companies that don't file reports with the SEC are legitimate businesses with real products or services. But the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud . It's easier for fraudsters to manipulate a stock when there's little or no information available about the company.
Microcap fraud depends on spreading false information. Here's how some fraudsters carry out their scams:
E-mail Spam Fraudsters distribute junk e-mail or "spam" over the Internet to spread false information quickly and cheaply about a microcap company to thousands of potential investors. Spam allows the unscrupulous to target many more potential investors than cold calling or mass mailing.
Internet Fraud Fraudsters often use aliases on Internet bulletin boards and chat rooms to hide their identities and post messages urging investors to buy stock in microcap companies based on supposedly "inside" information about impending developments at the companies. For more information about Internet fraud and on-line investing, read Internet Fraud and What You Need to Know About Trading in Fast Moving Markets.
Paid Promoters Some microcap companies pay stock promoters to recommend or "tout" the microcap stock in supposedly independent and unbiased investment newsletters, research reports, or radio and television shows. Paid promoters are generally behind the unsolicited "junk" faxes you may receive, touting a microcap company. The federal securities laws require the newsletters to disclose who paid them, the amount, and the type of payment. But many fraudsters fail to do so and mislead investors into believing they are receiving independent advice.
"Boiler Rooms" and Cold Calling Dishonest brokers set up "boiler rooms" where a small army of high-pressure salespeople use banks of telephones to make cold calls to as many potential investors as possible. These strangers hound investors to buy "house stocks" — stocks that the firm buys or sells as a market maker or has in its inventory. To learn more about cold calling, read Cold Calling Alert.
Questionable Press Releases Fraudsters often issue press releases that contain exaggerations or lies about the microcap company's sales, acquisitions, revenue projections, or new products or services. These fraudulent press releases are then disseminated through legitimate financial news portals on the Internet.
Microcap fraud schemes can take a variety of forms. Here's a description of the most common schemes:
The Classic "Pump and Dump" Scheme It's common to see messages posted on the Internet that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is pumped up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters sell their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
The Latest Variation of the "Pump and Dump" Scheme Some people are finding that they have received a "misdialed" call from a stranger, leaving a "hot" investment tip for a friend. The message is designed to sound as if the speaker didn't realize that he or she was leaving the hot tip on the wrong answering machine. If you get a message like this, it's not a wrong number at all. Instead, it is from someone who is being paid to leave these messages on a whole lot of answering machines. Check out "Wrong Numbers" and Stock Tips on Your Answering Machine for more information and to hear one of these scams.
The Off-Shore Scam Under a rule known as "Regulation S," companies do not have to register stock they sell outside the United States to foreign or "off-shore" investors. In the typical off-shore scam, an unscrupulous microcap company sells unregistered Reg S stock at a deep discount to fraudsters posing as foreign investors. These fraudsters then sell the stock to U.S. investors at inflated prices, pocketing huge profits that they share with the microcap company insiders. The flood of unregistered stock into the U.S. eventually causes the price to plummet, leaving unsuspecting U.S. investors with enormous losses.
How Do I Get Information About Microcap Companies? If you're working with a broker or an investment adviser, you can ask your investment professional if the company files reports with the SEC and to get you written information about the company and its business, finances, and management. Be sure to carefully read the prospectus and the company's latest financial reports. Remember that unsolicited e-mails, message board postings and company news releases should never be used as the sole basis for your investment decisions. You can also get information on your own from these sources:
From the company Ask the company if it is registered with the SEC and files reports with us. If the company is small and unknown to most people, you should also call your state securities regulator to get information about the company, its management, and the brokers or promoters who've encouraged you to invest in the company.
From the SEC A great many companies must file their reports with the SEC. Using the EDGAR database, you can find out whether a company files with us and get any reports in which you're interested. For companies that do not file on EDGAR, check with the SEC's Public Reference Room to see whether the company has filed an offering circular under Reg A.
From your state securities regulator We strongly urge you to contact your state securities regulator to find out whether they have information about a company and the people behind it. Look in the government section of your phone book or visit the website of the North American Securities Administrators Association to get the name and phone number. Even though the company does not have to register its securities with the SEC, it may have to register them with your state. Your regulator will tell you whether the company has been legally cleared to sell securities in your state. Too many investors could easily have avoided heavy and painful financial losses if they only called their state securities regulator before they bought stock.
From reference books and commercial databases Visit your local public library or the nearest law or business school library. You'll find many reference materials containing information about companies. You can also access commercial databases for more information about the company's history, management, products or services, revenues, and credit ratings. The SEC cannot recommend or endorse any particular research firm, its personnel, or its products. But there are a number of commercial resources you may consult, including: Bloomberg, Dun & Bradstreet, Hoover's Profiles, Lexis-Nexis, and Standard & Poor's Corporate Profiles. Ask your librarian about additional resources.
The Secretary of State Where the Company Is Incorporated Contact the secretary of state where the company is incorporated to find out whether the company is a corporation in good standing. You may also be able to obtain copies of the company's incorporation papers and any annual reports it files with the state. Please visit the National Association of Secretaries of State website at www.nass.org for contact information regarding a particular Secretary of State.
Caution If you've been asked to invest in a company but you can't find any record that the company has registered its securities with the SEC or your state, or that it's exempt from registration, call or write your state's securities regulator or the SEC immediately with all the details. You may have come face to face with a scam.
What if I Want to Invest in Microcap Stocks? To invest wisely and avoid investment scams, research each investment opportunity thoroughly and ask questions. These simple steps can make the difference between profits and losses:
Find out whether the company has registered its securities with the SEC or your state's securities regulators.
Make sure you understand the company's business and its products or services.
Read carefully the most recent reports the company has filed with its regulators and pay attention to the company's financial statements, particularly if they are not audited or not certified by an accountant. If the company does not file reports with the SEC, be sure to ask your broker for what's called the "Rule 15c2-11 file" on the company. That file will contain important information about the company.
Check out the people running the company with your state securities regulator, and find out if they've ever made money for investors before. Also ask whether the people running the company have had run-ins with the regulators or other investors.
Make sure the broker and his or her firm are registered with the SEC and licensed to do business in your state. And ask your state securities regulator whether the broker and the firm have ever been disciplined or have complaints against them. We've spelled out the questions you'll need to ask in the following publications: Internet Fraud and Ask Questions. When you ask these questions, write down the answers you received and what you decided to do. If something goes wrong, your notes can help to establish what was said. Let your broker or investment adviser know you're taking notes. They'll know you're a serious investor and may tell you more — or give up trying to scam you. We've developed a Form for Taking Notes to help you. You'll find these and other useful publications on the Investor Information section of the SEC's website or from our toll-free publications line at (800) SEC-0330.
Also, watch out for these "red flags":
SEC Trading Suspensions The SEC has the power to suspend trading in any stock for up to 10 days when it believes that information about the company is inaccurate or unreliable. Think twice before investing in a company that's been the subject of an SEC trading suspension. You'll find information about trading suspensions on the SEC's website.
High Pressure Sales Tactics Beware of brokers who pressure you to buy before you have a chance to think about and investigate the "opportunity." Dishonest brokers may try to tell you about a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity or one that's based on "inside" or "confidential" information. Don't fall for brokers who promise spectacular profits or "guaranteed" returns. These are the hallmarks of fraud. If the deal sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Assets Are Large But Revenues Are Small Microcap companies sometimes assign high values on their financial statements to assets that have nothing to do with their business. Find out whether there's a valid explanation for low revenues, especially when the company claims to have large assets.
Odd Items in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements Many microcap fraud schemes involve unusual transactions among individuals connected to the company. These can be unusual loans or the exchange of questionable assets for company stock that may be discussed in the footnotes.
Unusual Auditing Issues Be wary when a company's auditors have refused to certify the company's financial statements or if they've stated that the company may not have enough money to continue operating. Also question any change of accountants.
Insiders Own Large Amounts of the Stock In many microcap fraud cases — especially "pump and dump" schemes — the company's officers and promoters own significant amounts of the stock. When one person or group controls most of the stock, they can more easily manipulate the stock's price at your expense. You can ask your broker or the company whether one person or group controls most of the company's stock, but if the company is the subject of a scam, you may not get an honest answer.
Additional Red Flags Don't deal with brokers who refuse to provide you with written information about the investments they're promoting. Never tell a cold caller your social security number or numbers for your banking and securities accounts. And be extra wary if someone you don't know and trust recommends foreign investments. For more tips on avoiding danger, be sure to read Cold Calling and The Fleecing of Foreign Investors.
What If I Run Into Trouble? Act promptly! By law, you only have a limited time to take legal action. Follow these steps to solve your problem:
Talk to your broker and explain the problem. What happened? Who said what, and when? Were communications clear? What did the broker tell you? Did you take notes about what your broker said at the time? If so, what do your notes say?
Note: If you believe your broker engaged in unauthorized transactions or other serious frauds, be sure to put your complaint in writing right away and send it to the firm. Your written complaint may be the only way to prove that you complained to the firm about unauthorized transactions. For more information about unauthorized transactions, please read our "Fast Answer" on that topic.
If your broker can't resolve your problem, then talk to the broker's branch manager.
If the problem is still not resolved, put your complaint in writing and send it to the compliance department at the firm's main office. Explain your problem clearly, and tell the firm how you want it resolved. Ask the compliance office to respond to you in writing within 30 days.
If you're still not satisfied, then send a letter to your state securities regulator and attach copies of any letters you've sent already to the firm. Or send your complaint to the SEC using our online complaint form. We will forward your complaint to the firm's compliance department and ask that they look into the problem and respond to you in writing.
Please note that sometimes a complaint can be successfully resolved. But in many cases, the firm denies wrongdoing, and it comes down to one person's word against another's. In that case, we cannot do anything more to help resolve the complaint. We cannot act as a judge or an arbitrator to establish wrongdoing and force the firm to satisfy your claim. And we cannot act as your lawyer. http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/microcapstock.htm [/QB][/QUOTE]

Ya know its interesting to see the amount of time and effort that has been spent by so many over the past year regarding QBID. Can you all imagine the amount of money that could have been made doing something else by all of those who spend their day on the boards. He is my story behind QBID.
I started the whole penny stock gig in December of 03 at 22 with about $10,000 to throw at the market. I began reading all the different message boards and decided that I was going to buy only stocks at .0001 they couldn't go any lower (at the time I wasn't aware of the frequency of reverse splits). At the time the stocks that kept popping up everywhere were CMKX, QBID, and PCBM. So I, as a nieve 22 year-old with little knowledge of the penny world, decided to throw $3,300 at each of the three so that I had 33mil shares of each. I would simply keep reading of how these stocks were "going to the moon" and to "$1 a share" so I waited patiently, but nothing really happened for months. That was until April when I was on vacation for a week and a half. When I got home from the vacation I looked at my Ameritrade account to see if their was any activity when I was gone. I thought it was an Ameritrade error, but when I opened my account it showed QBID at .014 and my shares were worth $462,000. It took me about a day to actually realize what had happened and I thought to myself how lucky I was to not only have purchased the QBID shares, but also to have been out of town. Surely, if I had been at home that week and saw QBID rising I would have probably sold around .0005 or something. I immediately sold all of my shares the next morning at .014 and obviosly missed the opportunity to make another 462K when it hit .029. With all this being said, this was the lottery of my lifetime and I haven't followed the company too much this year up until the past month or so as it has mainly declined over the past year now. Well, I am now again getting excited about QBID again at these levels. QBID seems to be the only company that has maintained a high level of popularity over the past year (besides CMKX) and actually has a solid business plan. It is dissapointing to see that the stock is declining week after week, but I look at the situation as possibly the last chance to buy a solid company at sub-penny levels. Remember, I held QBID at .0001 for months and was very frustrated that it never moved and that it didn't have bid. I know many of you are probably in that same boat right now and would like a quick and large run. All I can say is I "think" it is going to happen again pretty soon, but I simply don't know how soon. I think this simply because their is too much interest and money in this company to keep it at these levels. My target is going to be .0025, which hopefully it will hit over the next week or so. If it hits .0025 you all will see the mega buy when I take $250,000 of my prior QBID profits and dump them right back into the company that was great to me before.
Sometime in 2005 this company's PPS will reach atleast .015, when in 2005 I don't know. However, it sure as hell won't go much lower than .0025 if it ever reaches it.
QBID has a chnace to folow in NEOM's footsteps.

good story tbm201. Reminds me of what my dad always told me when I was growing up. "When you get a job and start making money don't blow it all on a new car. Invest your money wisely, but toss a couple hundred bucks of every thousand you invest in a penny and forget about it for a while."

I know many of you are probably in that same boat right now and would like a quick and large run. All I can say is I "think" it is going to happen again pretty soon, but I simply don't know how soon. I think this simply because their is too much interest and money in this company to keep it at these levels. My target is going to be .0025, which hopefully it will hit over the next week or so. If it hits .0025 you all will see the mega buy when I take $250,000 of my prior QBID profits and dump them right back into the company that was great to me before.
Sometime in 2005 this company's PPS will reach atleast .015, when in 2005 I don't know. However, it sure as hell won't go much lower than .0025 if it ever reaches it.
QBID has a chnace to folow in NEOM's footsteps.
Very good story, albeit a little risky esp. with these POS penny stocks.

Taken from Firestone Communication PR dated Oct. 26,2004...
Firestone Communications Signs Q Television Network for Production and Network Origination Services
Agreement Further Diversifies Media Company, Creates New Jobs for North Texas
"The addition of Q TV to FCI's client roster further exemplifies the customized package of services it provides to both commercial and corporate production companies. ¡Sorpresa!, FCI's own all-Spanish children's network, originates from the FCI facility and has carriage deals in place on Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner Cable, and the National Cable TV Cooperative. America One Television Network relies on FCI for its master control play out and C-band satellite uplink services. America One is a 24-hour broadcast network that provides Western, equestrian, and homeland values programming to over 20 million households via 123 broadcast affiliate stations located in 40 states. The Sound Track Channel, an entertainment network now available in 40 countries, signed a 10-year network origination agreement through which FCI makes STC's programming available to U.S. and foreign cable operators via FCI's uplink to the Intelsat America 7 satellite." ..................................................................................
Yep,
Slowly but surely a Genuine Broadcasting National TV Network is born!
"All we ever had to do is launch!"

This is the low.......so buy it or don't...I really don't care...I've got mine and just got some more.....LOL Good day all.
I have been waiting for you to post for a very longtime. First off this is a open forum. So anyone can say anything about a stock that they pick to speak about. Weither they own it or not doesnt matter one bit. Now you shareowners have been saying PR this PR that for a very long time and like ghosty and lexkartel said more then once "How come it can't pass 3%" You know why? Because no new buyers are willing to put their money into it and if they are you share owners are slowly selling away the millions you own . I know how to play the game and thats how you do it. Be serious why would you put your money into a company who's owner throws all this useless info at you to get you guys to come on the forum... Post it..... And other suckers to buy into it. I know a person who bought this stock lets say 4 months ago is kicking themselve right now saying "Why did I do this" Wouldn't you? Instead you guys are coming on here to boost this stock up and sell your shares. <------ Yes hard statement but true!!!! Now I am not bashing the stock but bashing the shareholders for coming on here and hyping this stock up like its going to hit tommorow when its really not. Go back and read the old pages. See how many times people said "tommorow" or "Hold on to your hats" Please stop it already. I dont even think a Boooooooiiiiinnngggg will help this stock. Thats IMO of course. I am so sorry lexkartel got banned because I would love to see what he had to say. Once again I am trying to pick a fight or bash your Pick but instead I am making personal attacks towards the people who defend this stock every single day.

Stock Tip, I appreciate your post but I am a very ethical person and would never try to take advantage of anyone's hard earned money to benefit myself only. Sure anyone can easily say that, but I guess you're just going to have to take my word for it. I own shares of QBID because I believe in what this company has to offer. We may differ in opinion on that subject as you don't see this stock going anywhere, but I do. I'm sorry you have a misconception about the people on this thread but the truth is you shouldn't generalize like that without truly understanding the individual. Also, anyone who buys a stock based on what one person says over a message board should not be investing their money to begin with. I post here because I believe QBID has the potential to make it, and it's nice to talk with others who feel the same way. If you don't think this company is going anywhere that's fine, but remember that is your opinion only. And I will say it again, please do not generalize because yes there are a lot of pumpers out there but not all of us belong in that category. With that said, invest at your own discretion.

Dear James,
Thanks for writing. I'm sorry, but we don't carry Q television network right now. However, we often add programming based on customer requests, and I have forwarded your request to DIRECTV management.
As you know, we make changes and additions to our programming line-up from time to time. Although we don't have any new information about Q television network at this time, feel free to bookmark the News Releases section of our web site at DIRECTV.com/PR and check back from time to time for the latest announcements.
Same exact response I got from Direct TV. Hopefully they will look into our Q!!

Kind of like all of you who call us names.
Big difference calling someone a name and making personal attacks on someone. But I would not expect that you would be knowledgable to know the difference.
