I don't agree with why the MM's keep it low. In fact I don't know if MM's really care about the price of stocks. I imagine things are proportionate when the price rises. For example, MSFT trades millions of shares lower but the bid/ask spread is larger than qbid's. Besides, MSFT did trade 102 million shares today. The mm's probably made more off of msft because of the larger spread proportions vs volume.

Naked shorting, now that is why I hate MM's. Matt

I don't know Matt, but look at the MA's here:
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=QBID,uu[m,a]daclyyay[pb20!b50][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9]&pref=G

I'm no expert, but I think if I were an MM, I could make the most by MOVING the stock (buying low (bid) and selling high (ask) at the BEST support levels for trading) VS buying low and holding for a higher price.....What do you think?

and MSFT doesn't fit in this scenario..(I've played it MANY times)..it's a different trading animal....this is a pink...they trade differently.....more daytraders, lack of institutional investment, etc....but courious on your thoughts....

Broadcast and Cable Magazine has big article on Gay TV in general and Q Television Network took out a huge 2 page center spread. Looks great!

There is a "Special Report" called OUT OF THE CLOSET AND ALL OVER TV.

Plus a one page carriage solicitation ad.

NICE!

*ATTENTION* This has changed!

http://www.qtelevisionnetwork.com/

There's an actual page there now, "under construction"!

Before it would just go to a link where nothing was set up. Something is in the works!

(update) Now I'm second-guessing myself. Has the page been like that for awhile already? I thought it would resolve to an admin-like page that was hinting that some configuration was necessary.

Cheers

6)From RB Forum, worth a read imo....

Tarot Reading done for Q on 3-21-05 (5 pages of notes consolidated)

Did this one with a customer of mine who also is an investor. Enjoy....}

1. One thing ending another starting, there is confusion until things settle down.

2. Legal things are being done. A judgment is going through payments are being paid we are going to get Pridevision.

3. Group of people are determined to win (Venture Capitalists), they have their own objectives, besides money there is a bigger picture also they are after.

4. Lots of wheeling and dealing is going on presently, with that some people are being set aside.

5. Consolidation with that QTN is getting much more organized.

6. There is an agenda that has high stakes and lots of caution is being used, nothing willy-nilly here.

7. It can't be used right away there is a period of so called "no zone". Nothing can be used yet during that time, only restructuring.

8. Then QTN will go into the next phase and that is when the opposition will flex their muscle.
What I mean is the people who think G/L is a moral/immoral issue are coming in.

9. Too late because by that time QTN is already on its way to be too successful to be stopped.

10. A small unpleasant lawsuit is coming because of someone's greed regarding a situation connected to contracts. The money is destined already (karmic in some way) to go there. The lawsuit will be resolved. It will cause a dip but when the relief comes there is a open field to proceed.

continued:

11. Somebody is going to talk about the misuse of funds, but it is only disorganization in someway to a situation. It will be balanced and then it will be fixed into tip top shape.

12. Money/time is still ruled by others. It can't yet be used by QTN completely and the stock can still be manipulated for a little while.

13. Lots of strength coming in, and when everything is lined up it is going to be something to behold.

14. A treasure of not only money but important relationships are made. Connections to every color of the rainbow including foreign, media networking etc.....

15. There is money coming in like crazy (said on the tape I was making of the reading) Oh my goodness!!! Good news coming and the Sun door opens. (Sun in the tarot deck).

There you go Q doesn't matter how you get there just do....lol

Ok I got the scoop, gather 'round all.

I just spoke with Troy at QTN. QTN is going to shoot their nightly 21/2 hour live broadcast from the building space that used to house La Taqueria resturant. They will shoot live all this week from that location. In addition to where QTN is already available it will also be made available LOCALLY on TW channel 20.

I just put the digital camera on the charger, the event begins at 4 PM PT today, a little more than 1 hour from now. I will get my little self over there ALL THIS WEEK and take pictures for all to see.

That is if you think you can all take me posting as I'm such a pain in the a*s and just a week ago wanted me booted. Am I back in good graces now? Good!!! I'll do what I can...ace cub reporter, BACK IN ACTION!!! I'll see if Frank will let someone take a picture of him grabbing my a*s.

From Nobull101 on CBS board.

I just called Cafe Jasmin in Palm Springs...

Cafe Jasmin
125 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs
320-7535

Cafe Jasmin is at 125 and the Old La Taqueria is at 135, directly next door. I asked the host at Cafe Jasmine if anything was happening next door. He said yes, the building is rented out by a movie studio. I asked him if he see's any signs up, he said Yes, The Q Television Network". He said there are a lot of people over there right now.

and for those that don't know how to find that board...

MM's don't give a damn about the price of a stock. They will move it into the trading range that gives them the most volume as they make their money on the spread between the bid and ask. If a stock is at .003 and no one is buying or selling they will move it up or down to get the desired effect. Remember the are NOT traders and could care less about buying low and selling higher for a profit.

looks like some real profesional stuff happening at the Dina Shores gold torunament.

nice to hear all the possitive stuff going on.

this is very encouraging times. we are here at the inception and will look back on these days and wonder why anyone would have sold off their shares at these prices.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thousands of women will gather in Palm Springs this week.
They're ready to party, flaunt their bods at the pools and maybe, watch a little golf.

Dinah Shore Weekend, centered around the Kraft Nabisco Championship LPGA golf tournament, has turned into the biggest lesbian event in the world, says producer Mariah Hanson of San Franciso's Club Skirts.

She knows of people traveling from France, Australia and England to attend the weekend event and has heard past estimates of 10,000 to 15,000 lesbians attending.

"But who's counting?" Hanson wonders. "Who's standing at Highway 111 with a gaydar?"

Still, there is no denying that thousands of lesbians show up and many even make it to the golf tournament.

This year, Hanson is prepared for the number of party-goers to double, in part because the characters on Showtime's popular gay series "The L Word" are making the trip to Palm Springs in the show.

Footage was shot during Dinah Shore Weekend two years ago, but the road trip episode aired in 2004 - making this the first event since.

"It exposed the weekend to all its viewers," Hanson said.

In previous years, news of the party event traveled by word of mouth and through articles in gay publications.

Advanced ticket sales are double what they were last year, Hanson said. The entire Palm Springs Riviera Resort and Doral Desert Princess Resort Palm Springs are booked. There will be pool parties, ****** and loud music from San Franciso and Los Angeles DJs.

Party escapades will reach even more audiences by this time next year. The Playboy Channel is filming a documentary at this weekend's event, along with Pink Planet, a gay culture and travel show and the England-based World of Wonder Productions.

Evolution of Dinah Shore Weekend

The golf tournament has made Palm Springs a popular destination for lesbians since the 1970s.
By the mid 1980s, club promoters turned the weekend into a full-fledged party scene.

In 1991, current producer Hanson stepped in, booking entire hotels and providing parties in walking distance and creating the modern-day Dinah.

"It became a lesbian world," she said. "It was freeing for a lot of women who could celebrate in an unabashed way."

The following year, Hanson joined forces with Sandy Sachs and Robin Gans, owners of Girl Bar in Los Angeles. The party kept getting bigger.

They reserved entire hotels to avoid "culture clash," - groups of partying lesbians mixed with families and business men and women.

"When this started 15 years ago Palm Springs was Republican and homophobic," Hanson said.

She recalls hotel managers offering staff the option of having the days off if they felt uncomfortable around lesbians.

"It was crazy. That's why we didn't want to mix cultures. Now, (hotel employees) are begging to work our event," Hanson said.

Things have changed. The 2000 census reports that Palm Springs has more same-sex couples than San Francisco and West Hollywood.

"Dinah!"

The history of Dinah Shore Weekend has inspired a book, "Dinah! Three Decades of Sex, Golf, and Rock 'n' Roll."
Author Michele Kort remembers coming for the weekend in the early 1980s.

"It was mostly the jocks that would go to the tournament then," she said.

Kort said she has seen the crowd change dramatically. With Girl Bar and Club Skirts came the "chichi lesbians," she said.

These young, stylish women have changed the stereotypical face of lesbians and the scene of the Dinah Shore Weekend.

"They look great in bikinis and want to show it off," Kort said.

Many of these women, she said, no little or nothing about golf; some don't even know there is a tournament.

A lesbian and a golf fan, Kort enjoys the parties as well as the tournament. She will make the "pilgrimage to Palm Springs," again this year.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Jan 3, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Q Television Network, (Pink Sheets:QBID) announced today that it will commence a million dollar advertising program on the 6th of January. The campaign will focus on national publications such as The USA Today, as well as many gay and lesbian publications across the U.S.
This campaign is geared towards generating new customers, as well as creating a greater awareness of Q Television Network. The network is also concentrating on becoming well known in its industry by becoming a sponsor at the Q Lounge at the Sundance Film Festival.

---------------------------------------------------


Hey all I had a thought I was wondering do any of you think that this roadshow is part of their advertising campaign? From looking at their pictures it seems that there are tons of banners and other promotional things displayed all over where they are shooting. Q can get alot of exposure over a 60 day roadshow, visiting 20 cities. If they have as much visibility as they did in palm springs this is a great thing, a kind of grassroots effort to get the word out on Q......just thinking out loud.....

Fine by me as long as they come back with pictures and other evidence to show to all nay sayers. Pictures of thousands surrounding the Q booth would be very nice. Matt
