Besides being Martha "I am innocent I tell ya" Stewarts trading symbol anyone know what MSO is?

But good letter I thought. No dates, no guarrantees, just some basic background and a very nicely put "chill the hell out we are working hard and doing well" message.

BXA being raised.... maybe it was that extra two million that I bought (1 mill at the bid 20 and the second at the ask 21)!!!!

For everyone out there that remembers that I flipped Q to get more shares... I am proud to report that I now have 6 million shares, and $2700 cash with 550k shares of PLNI for free.....

Today has been a great day!

Actually, all my extra profits go toward the kids private education! My goal is to get enough cash to pay off the cars and at least 1/2 the house! If I can accomplish that in the next year or two, I will be ecstatic!

HELLO MR. OLSEN I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR COMING ON THE SHOW TODAY FOR A INTERVIEW REGARDING YOUR GROUNDBREAKING NEW TELEVISION STATION Q-TELEVISION.

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL THANK YOU"

NOW MR. OLSEN, YOU HAVE STATED THAT YOU SPENT $7 MILLION DOLLARS ON A FAILED LAUNCH BACK IN 2000.

FRANK OLSEN:

"YES"

YOU'VE ALSO DONE THE EXCELLENT JOB OF REDUCING OPERATING EXPENSES TO $33,000 PER MONTH

FRANK OLSEN

"YES"

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE FOLKS INVESTED AND LISTENING RIGHT NOW TO THIS INTERVIEW ABOUT THE LOAN?

FRANK OLSEN:

"WHICH ONE?"

WELL YOU SAID YOU HAVE 5-YEAR GUARANTEED FINANCING AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER YOU RELEASED ANOTHER PR THAT SAYS YOU OBTAINED A $2-MILLION DOLLAR LOAN FOR 1ST YEAR BROADCAST, SO WHICH IS CORRECT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"CAN I BUY YOU ANOTHER BEER?"

YOU DID MENTION THAT YOU WERE UPGRADING BACK IN 2000, YES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"YES"

AND YOU NEVER DID COMPLETE THAT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"NO THINGS JUST NEVER WORKED OUT"

OH I SEE. THEN YOU STATED YOU ARE GOING TO UPGRADE QBID IN 2004, YES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"YES"

BUT THEN RENEE COMES ON AND STATES IN AN INTERVIEW THAT THE CORPORATION IS "DIRTY" AND YOU CAN'T UPGRADE. SO THIS MEANS FROM 2000 SINCE THE CORPORATION WAS "CLEAN" AND UP TO 2004 RENEE TELLS US YOU HAVE A DIRTY CORPORATION, WHICH IS IT. WERE YOU LIEING BACK IN 2000 AND YOU COULD NEVER UPGRADE OR FROM 2000 TO 2004 YOU MADE IT DIRTY FROM 2000 TO 2004 UNABLE TO UPGRADE IN 2004?

FRANK OLSEN:

"BARTENDER, ANOTHER ROUND"

SO IF YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES ARE CURRENTLY $758,000/MONTH, WHAT ARE YOUR REVENUES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HEY, YOUR KIND OF CUTE"

MR. OLSEN, LET'S STICK TO THE ISSUE HERE AND NOT YOUR OPINION OF ME. IF YOU SPENT $7-MILLION DOLLARS IN 2000 ON A FAILED LAUNCH, YOUR CURRENT EXPENSES ARE $758,000 PER MONTH, WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HEY BARTENDER, GET THAT ROUND OF DRINKS HERE RIGHT NOW!"

MR. OLSEN, YOU HAVE ANNOUNCED SEVERAL BUYBACKS BUT RECORD REFLECTS THAT YOU ISSUED ANOTHER 6-BILLION SHARES PRIOR TO ANY SO-CALLED BUYBACK, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL YOU SEE, YOU TAKE 5 CANS OF BEER AND DRINK THEM, FOLLOWED BY 2 TRIPLE SHOTS OF VODKA AND ALL THE MATH ADDS UP. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE ACTUALLY."

WELL I SURE DID MISS THAT CACULATION (GIGGLEING) MR. OLSEN, SO I AM QUITE CURIOUS, HOW DO YOU ISSUE 6-BILLION SHARES OF STOCK AND THEN ANNOUNCE ONE OF YOUR MANY BUYBACKS? ISN'T THAT LIKE ME ASKING YOU FOR $10 TO PAY YOU BACK THE $10 I OWE YA?

FRANK OLSEN:

"DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BUSINESS? YOU TAKE 7 CANS OF BEER DIVIDE 3 TRIPLE SHOTS OF VODKA AND IT ALL ADDS UP, PRETTY SIMPLE SO QUIT ASKING ME STUPID QUESTIONS."

HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE PRESS RELEASES YOU DO WHICH MOST CONSIDER FLUFF BUT IN REALITY, NEVER COME TO PASS, NOTHING SEEMS TO COME TO LIGHT AS YOU PROTRAY IT TO BE.

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL SEE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ONE THING HERE, IF YOU MIX THE VODKA WITH BEER YOU GET A BAD DRINK. SO YOU DRINK THE BEER FIRST FOLLOWED BY THE SHOTS OF VODKA AND WHAM-O, THERE YOU HAVE IT. <BURP>"

I ALSO NOTE YOU DID A PRESS RELEASE TELLING INVESTORS THAT THERE WERE SOME MAJOR INVESTMENT FIRMS GOING TO BUY QBID STOCK AT .01/SHARE, WHO ARE THEY?

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL THE LOCAL BOYSCOUT TROOP SAID THEY WERE INTERESTED IN BUYING AND SELLING OUR STOCK BUT THEY CAN'T WORK WITH GAY PEOPLE SO THAT DEAL FELL THROUGH."

SO MR. OLSEN, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON, WHAT ARE YOUR REVENUES TO JUSTIFY YOUR EXPENSES?

UM, MR. OLSEN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HAPPY HOUR ENDS SOON"

BUT IT'S 11AM IN THE MORNING SIR

FRANK OLSEN

"AND HAPPY HOUR ENDS AT 4PM, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ACCOMPLISH ANY MORE BUYBACKS OR UPGRADES WITHOUT GETTING SOME MATHMATICS DONE DURING HAPPY-HOUR?"

WELL LISTENERS, THIS CONCLUDES OUR INTERVIEW. IT APPEARS THAT QBID IS IN A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION AND LONG TERM INVESTORS SEEM TO BE IN A EXCELLENT LOCATION.

yess you are basically right it is a suply and demand for sure but the mms have an inventory that if they dont want the price to drop or rise, they will sell thiere shares according to what price then need to or want to hold it at.

ultimately it is Frank that decisides the price its the mms job to make it happen.

I have a naive pink question in relation to the buyback/MMs and PPS.

If there is a agreement between issuer and broker(s) couldnt they hold the price steady on purpose regardless of how many shares traded?

I dont see why they couldnt, I can understand why they wouldnt, but I can also understand why they would do so if they knew that the stock was in buyback mode this would be a good time for them to keep the price steady to allow it to happen so as they could also be accumulating themselves?

Have the after hours purchases been through the same broker every day or is it changing on a daily or bidaily basis. The way I understood the "one broker" requirement was it was for that session, not for an extended period.

Everyones favorite seer/jester has said a few comments of late that strike me as more interesting now. He said that there would be large 5 mil and 9 mil buys coming at the end of day and he also said something to the effect that the swing traders were not going to be happy soon. "Soon" would be now as that post was a week or more ago.

So if they are all intentionally holding the price down and the buyback is truly occurring he was correct in both of those statements...

This never got answered when I asked it this weekend but it seems the subject has come up again and is being discussed by some now.

So am I right, the MMs do make the prices and ultimately they could hold this at whatever they felt was justified for as long as they wanted?

In the big MM stock price picture the only downside to them doing so is that eventually people will quit selling, but if 20 billion (hypothetical exaggeration guys dont turn that into an O/S A/S number lol) shares changed hands today and there were still people that would sell then price would never have to moved until Frabk or MM said so, right?


PS. We are going to be rich (and not just in name for some of you!)

yes andrew i noticed the same thing.

this may indicate that the buyback is done.

or they may let it drop down in price a bit to buy back more.

there may be getting a shortage of people willing to sell at this price. they may have to lower the price to try and shake more weak hands of thier shares to continue. the MM's may have run out of shares.

something is going to happen in pps movement tomorrow to reflect this. if the price goes up then we may be done the buyback. it the price goes down then the MMs are going to cover thier shorts and refil thier vaults with more shares to continue the buyback.

there are only so many shares available at this price, the strongs are holding on tight, the indecisive are holding and waiting but will sell if the price drops anymore, these are the shares that Frank will ultimately buy up.

no the 16 million os not refering to RCN RCN only has 400,000 subscribers in our viwing are and i believe, but dont quote me on this, 2 million total subscribers country wide.

16 million is going to require alot more then RCN

i believe the 16 million is what the POD is supposed to expose us to.

Good point. But I find it more likely that they settled and Frank apologized. If Frank doesn't say something this week on the investor relations page about the Oxygen lawsuit that EVERYONE knows about, then we'll see this hit .0015, IMHO.

quote:
When LOGO launches Q Television will already have six million more viewers in place!
That's wholly incorrect. If you think all 16 million RCN receivers are going to all buy Q Television, you're insane. That's why they say "up to" 16 million and not "16 million". It'll most likely be about 150,000 homes. Yes, that's only a tenfold increase.

Be reasonable. You guys are starting to sound like pumpers again. Which means that I'm going to post sound posts and you're going to keep giving me 1 star ratings cause you're upset I'm not pumping.

Personally I do not believe the 16 million number Frank is throwing around is related to RCN. I could be wrong but the last few months when it has been mentioned he has not ever said (to my recollection) that RCN will have Q in 16 million homes. He just says that Q will make that mark.

IF it was related to RCN I would be with you 100% and screaming at Frank for saying imbecilic things again, but I think RCN is major small potatoes to what is going on behind the scenes right now.

Ok sorry, maybe I was a bit harsh towards LEO. I just want to make sure that, as investors, we are setting reasonable goals for QBID to meet. Personally, I own 500k+ of shares now. At the end of the month I hope to buy maybe another 500k more. I'm certainly long on QBID, but by long I mean that I don't even currently have an exit price set. This thing could drop back down to .0010 and I still wouldn't sell, because it is money I'm investing in Frank's dream, because I think that he can set reasonable goals, he just likes to hype things or let others hype them so that there are quick jumps in PPS.

We need reality. We need to get off the pinks. I cannot stress this point enough.

QBID needs to be fully reporting. They intended to do so way back in 1999 (view the QBID FAQ for the source) and didn't. What changed? Why are they more serious this time?

I'm a firm believer in sandwiching a positive between two negatives. QBID needs to do this. They need to acknowlege that they have said they wanted to be fully reporting in the past and failed, and explain WHY THEY FAILED, and what it is about this attempt that is different.

I think they *are* serious this time. Why? Because they actually named a CPA firm that is going to audit them. They actually stated the firm they spoke to about becoming fully reporting. These are checks and balances so that we, as investors, can contact those 3rd parties and confirm that QBID is not lying.

They need to show that they've learned from their mistakes. One good indication they have is their reluctance now to say what they are doing. While this hurts the PPS for the short term, it improves their relationships with carriers and advertisers. I'm disappointed they used Oxygen's name and Oxygen got upset, but it's a lesson I'm sure they've learned, and they will likely never make the same mistake again.

We have a LOT of reasons to be happy and in this for the long haul, but some of the PRs have been misleading and hype-worthy, and level-headedness is exactly what we need. Horizontal trading in the .0020s is exactly the kind of support we need for this stock. Blasts to .0055 on PRs about private investors and bids for other carriers they have little to no chance of acquiring are NOT what Frank should be doing.

Anyway, sorry to rant. Yes, it might seem that I'm bashing the stock, but I like to think that I'm being simply reasonable and forward thinking. Suppose QBID signs a huge carrier and the stock flies to .012. Are *you* going to sell, knowing full well that they are going to fall again if you drop your 5 million shares? I don't intend to, and I think what I'd like to see is investors that are in this to see Q Television not only become 24/7 and widely available, but a good wholesome gay lifestyle channel that EVERYONE is talking about.

Q has huge potential for branding and brandname recognition. While it may be a while before they get there, that alone should be enough to get people thinking.

good point andrew.

im just going to point out look at who is making the negative comments. all new people here other then airdoo. and Airdoo was not bashing he was statign a concern that i understand.

this is a non issue as Frank has always looked the way he does. infact the cbs interview was the best i have ever seen Frank.

they will use anything they can to bash this. if i said he has lost wieght they would turn it into him dieng. if i said he was gaining weight it would be the same thing. If i said he was 40 the same crap would come out.

people use your heads hear and look at waht the company is doing, not what someone looks like or sounds like, this company is bigger then Frank and will go on with or with out him.

Like FOT said, this may actually drop down to .0017 or so, so the MMs can load up on their shares if they were really selling them on a buyback.

Does anyone know how many MMs actually play this stock though? It might only be one.

The way I see the buyback is this: When I buy shares for myself, I buy enough to either a) make a difference in my portfolio when the pps goes up or 2) to spend the entire amount of cash I have allocated to the purchase of QBID. I usually wait on the purchase until 2) can satify 1) and 2).

If you were Frank, wouldn't you buy enough shares to make a dfference in your pps if you were spending hard-to-come-by cash earmarked for equipment? Most of us have assumed that the buyback began when the PR was put out. Could it have begun before that? There were a LOT of aftermarket purchases going on before the PR came out. Some were assuming it was Oprah, Paul Allen, Rosie, or some other "backer". Could have been Q the whole time.

Sure he could be done. Doesn't mean he didn't get a boatload already. The key is what he does with those shares. Here's to a PR announcing another share retirement, a retirement of all the shares in the buyback and a percentage match from Frank. I hope.

First, let's assume Frank's health is fine. We have no reason to believe otherwise.

And Frank is not over-the-hill at age 70. Many people work well into their 80s and seem to thrive on hard work. Colonel Sanders founded what became KFC when he was 65 and worked until age 90 (died of leukemia, not "old age"), Kirk Kirkorian is still going strong at age 87, Warren Buffet is still the Sage of Omaha at age 75. So, don't worry about Frank's age. We all go when it's our time, and sitting in an easy chair doesn't seem to extend anyone's lifespan.

I also believe Frank is smart enough to surround himself with good people (many news reports have indicated that). I don't know if Renee is the next in line . . . but I am confident that there is a "second in command" who can continue moving QBID forward if anything happens to Frank.

But I certainly hope nothing does happen to him. He's earned the chance to see his dream come true.

I only made refence to his health because in the marketwatch.com interview he was huffing and puffing while sitting down.

WELL YOU SAID YOU HAVE 5-YEAR GUARANTEED FINANCING AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER YOU RELEASED ANOTHER PR THAT SAYS YOU OBTAINED A $2-MILLION DOLLAR LOAN FOR 1ST YEAR BROADCAST, SO WHICH IS CORRECT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"CAN I BUY YOU ANOTHER BEER?"

YOU DID MENTION THAT YOU WERE UPGRADING BACK IN 2000, YES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"YES"

AND YOU NEVER DID COMPLETE THAT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"NO THINGS JUST NEVER WORKED OUT"

OH I SEE. THEN YOU STATED YOU ARE GOING TO UPGRADE QBID IN 2004, YES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"YES"

BUT THEN RENEE COMES ON AND STATES IN AN INTERVIEW THAT THE CORPORATION IS "DIRTY" AND YOU CAN'T UPGRADE. SO THIS MEANS FROM 2000 SINCE THE CORPORATION WAS "CLEAN" AND UP TO 2004 RENEE TELLS US YOU HAVE A DIRTY CORPORATION, WHICH IS IT. WERE YOU LIEING BACK IN 2000 AND YOU COULD NEVER UPGRADE OR FROM 2000 TO 2004 YOU MADE IT DIRTY FROM 2000 TO 2004 UNABLE TO UPGRADE IN 2004?

FRANK OLSEN:

"BARTENDER, ANOTHER ROUND"

SO IF YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES ARE CURRENTLY $758,000/MONTH, WHAT ARE YOUR REVENUES?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HEY, YOUR KIND OF CUTE"

MR. OLSEN, LET'S STICK TO THE ISSUE HERE AND NOT YOUR OPINION OF ME. IF YOU SPENT $7-MILLION DOLLARS IN 2000 ON A FAILED LAUNCH, YOUR CURRENT EXPENSES ARE $758,000 PER MONTH, WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HEY BARTENDER, GET THAT ROUND OF DRINKS HERE RIGHT NOW!"

MR. OLSEN, YOU HAVE ANNOUNCED SEVERAL BUYBACKS BUT RECORD REFLECTS THAT YOU ISSUED ANOTHER 6-BILLION SHARES PRIOR TO ANY SO-CALLED BUYBACK, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL YOU SEE, YOU TAKE 5 CANS OF BEER AND DRINK THEM, FOLLOWED BY 2 TRIPLE SHOTS OF VODKA AND ALL THE MATH ADDS UP. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE ACTUALLY."

WELL I SURE DID MISS THAT CACULATION (GIGGLEING) MR. OLSEN, SO I AM QUITE CURIOUS, HOW DO YOU ISSUE 6-BILLION SHARES OF STOCK AND THEN ANNOUNCE ONE OF YOUR MANY BUYBACKS? ISN'T THAT LIKE ME ASKING YOU FOR $10 TO PAY YOU BACK THE $10 I OWE YA?

FRANK OLSEN:

"DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BUSINESS? YOU TAKE 7 CANS OF BEER DIVIDE 3 TRIPLE SHOTS OF VODKA AND IT ALL ADDS UP, PRETTY SIMPLE SO QUIT ASKING ME STUPID QUESTIONS."

HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE PRESS RELEASES YOU DO WHICH MOST CONSIDER FLUFF BUT IN REALITY, NEVER COME TO PASS, NOTHING SEEMS TO COME TO LIGHT AS YOU PROTRAY IT TO BE.

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL SEE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ONE THING HERE, IF YOU MIX THE VODKA WITH BEER YOU GET A BAD DRINK. SO YOU DRINK THE BEER FIRST FOLLOWED BY THE SHOTS OF VODKA AND WHAM-O, THERE YOU HAVE IT. <BURP>"

I ALSO NOTE YOU DID A PRESS RELEASE TELLING INVESTORS THAT THERE WERE SOME MAJOR INVESTMENT FIRMS GOING TO BUY QBID STOCK AT .01/SHARE, WHO ARE THEY?

FRANK OLSEN:

"WELL THE LOCAL BOYSCOUT TROOP SAID THEY WERE INTERESTED IN BUYING AND SELLING OUR STOCK BUT THEY CAN'T WORK WITH GAY PEOPLE SO THAT DEAL FELL THROUGH."

SO MR. OLSEN, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON, WHAT ARE YOUR REVENUES TO JUSTIFY YOUR EXPENSES?

UM, MR. OLSEN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

FRANK OLSEN:

"HAPPY HOUR ENDS SOON"

BUT IT'S 11AM IN THE MORNING SIR

FRANK OLSEN

"AND HAPPY HOUR ENDS AT 4PM, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ACCOMPLISH ANY MORE BUYBACKS OR UPGRADES WITHOUT GETTING SOME MATHMATICS DONE DURING HAPPY-HOUR?"

WELL LISTENERS, THIS CONCLUDES OUR INTERVIEW. IT APPEARS THAT QBID IS IN A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION AND LONG TERM INVESTORS SEEM TO BE IN A EXCELLENT LOCATION.

It's a bird ,it's a plane,it's another idiot! Give it a rest.It is bad enough your still sucking your thumb because you lost a huge amount of money from personal stupidity but to come right out and say it is another story.

wow we seem to be at an interesting point in q's evolution.i dont love to hear negative things about q but i beleive we should be as realistic as possible about this investment.so hearing negatives should be embraced so that we as shareholders can try and help and protect our investments in this company.i dont know what i personally could do to help q at the moment but if the time came when q needed help in some area of business that i could be an asset to them i would be there in a flash.i dont know which way q is going right now like ive said in the past i hope down but ONLY TO ACCUMULATE MORE SHARES!!!i am long i dont daytrade q shares and dont intend on it either.when substantial gains are available i cannot say i wont sell a portion of my holdings but obviously never the core position.that folks is what im intending on buying a sweet car with and beachfront property.i know im a dreamer i am now 1 million long and strong and im on the hunt for more.if we go down as low as .0017 i will load up big time.if we stay at these levels i will accumulate every week.this is what i would suggest all who have the means to do as well.by the way congrats on your stock play and selling of your q shares fatheroftwo you have more risk tolerance than i in selling your shares to buy a larger position in qbid.i personnally am so inlove with my q shares they are superglued to my account and are not available at all.i cancelled all my sell orders and wont reenter any until i have much more shares.good luck to all.hope this is a prosperous year for all of you.
sincerely noah.

All day long you see the small buys, $200 - $300 , new money, people thinking its going to a buck. Mr. Olsens mm is selling it so fast you guys cant make a dime on it.
If he has the cash to do another pump and dump (buyback), it's because you guys, and the nice people out there, gave it to him.

QBID Website "Today" WELL WORTH RE-POSTING [Big Grin]

5/10/2005 - From Frank


Dear Shareholders,

I would like to address all of the owners of QBID. First, things are going very well and although there are many items I cannot discuss because of confidentiality agreements, we are confident that we will make each and every one of you proud to be a shareholder. We are well beyond our estimated target with both discussions that our team is having with carriers and our internal restructure to have QTelevision fully reporting. Our network is a first of its kind and it's very important to have all its components in place to achieve complete success. The approach we've taken in being a 24X7 network will represent the GLBT community best. Our business plan has not veered and we know that this approach is more difficult than VOD, but ultimately it is the right choice. That said, all of the underlying components must continue to be in place for the large growth we are experiencing. All of the press releases we have disseminated have been to inform the investors of what we have been doing. We feel the investors should always be aware of our day to day activities and I understand that some investors have shown dismay due to some missed deadlines, but these deadlines are made to the best of our ability. Careful analysis goes into each release, but there are many variables that go into these contractual agreements and when legal departments take longer than expected or a key person involved is removed from the project, etc. this delays the negotiation. What is important for all of you to understand is in the end, all of these press releases will have come together exactly the way we intended it.

We have assembled the most sought after team in the country. Cathy Rasenberger, Carol Hinnant and Rubenstein Associates, Inc. are the "Dream Team" any new network could ask for. We have assembled this team to lead our company towards securing carriage, to continue subscriber growth in all areas and effectively hand over the responsibilities to our senior management once completed. We must show the industry that our network is viable, can produce revenue and justifies the limited bandwidth these MSO's have - our team is doing exactly that.

Our management team has internally been getting our company poised for the significant growth that will be coming shortly. We are working diligently on getting QTelevision fully reporting so both our individual investors as well as the institutions can better gauge their investment. Our company is fully funded until break even, 2008.


Again, I would like to thank the investors for sharing the same dream we've had for many years.


Frank

anybody see the funny MM games that was going on today...you guys should really pay attention to the last sale on qbid

it seems like the MM are purposely trying to hold it down, because...

everytime we would get like 8-20 straight buys, BAM, the MM would sell like 5, 2, or like 9 M shares...always it was like 2+M shares..now why would anyone who is trading sell2M shares into such strong buying pressure and where are all these HUGE sell orders coming from

seems to me like somebody big (most likely MM) want to keep this down for a resason
anybody else see this

Let me ask you this, shlik, and I mean it in all sincerity and as I'm not a pumper, I'm hoping you'll respond. What of the lawsuit makes you think that QBID will fight it rather than just have Frank personally apologize (they already retracted it) and settle? I doubt they are even needing to break out the lawyers for this one.

My take on the Investor Relations release:

quote:
We are well beyond our estimated target with both discussions that our team is having with carriers and our internal restructure to have QTelevision fully reporting.
"Both" would seem to indicate two larger carrier talks. Because of QBID's history, they probably said upfront they don't want to talk about it. My guess: Verizon's potential new service and Time/Warner.

quote:
That said, all of the underlying components must continue to be in place for the large growth we are experiencing.
They are realizing that due to demand they have to both move to an exchange and get the carriers. Moving to a new exchange establishes them as worthy of being with the carriers. In fact, it may even be a stipulation for the carriers to consider them.

quote:
All of the press releases we have disseminated have been to inform the investors of what we have been doing. We feel the investors should always be aware of our day to day activities and I understand that some investors have shown dismay due to some missed deadlines, but these deadlines are made to the best of our ability.
They are apologizing to the investors for the Oxygen goofup.

quote:
Careful analysis goes into each release, but there are many variables that go into these contractual agreements and when legal departments take longer than expected or a key person involved is removed from the project, etc. this delays the negotiation.
They've had at least one person they were working with at a carrier leave their position while dealing with them. This has caused delays.

quote:
We have assembled the most sought after team in the country. Cathy Rasenberger, Carol Hinnant and Rubenstein Associates, Inc. are the "Dream Team" any new network could ask for.
We are capable of growing and fully intend to do so.

quote:
We have assembled this team to lead our company towards securing carriage, to continue subscriber growth in all areas and effectively hand over the responsibilities to our senior management once completed.
We are putting a lot of trust in those capable of growing our network, but giving them the space to do what they need. Some are new hires and though we are anxious, we are still willing to give them the autonomy they need without the overbearing demand of the investors.

quote:
We must show the industry that our network is viable, can produce revenue and justifies the limited bandwidth these MSO's have - our team is doing exactly that.
hereTv and LOGO don't think a gay lifestyle channel can be done. We intend to do it, and do it with original programming.

quote:
Our management team has internally been getting our company poised for the significant growth that will be coming shortly. We are working diligently on getting QTelevision fully reporting so both our individual investors as well as the institutions can better gauge their investment. Our company is fully funded until break even, 2008.
Patience is key. We don't want to come right out and say it, but we really want to work for the investors and know you're looking to us to give you what you want to see, an increase in the PPS. For us though, that's hard to do while growing the company.
