polo Actually I can . . . the "internet bubble" I referred to is now commonly used to describe any stock whose PPS is not supported by company fundamentals, mainly current or expected Price/Earnings ratios, and to suggest unsupported enthusiasm for such stocks by investors. The company does not even have to be in the internet arena, although in this case both Google and eBay are.
Nothing wrong with Google or eBay, but hearing you predict $500 per share for Google reminded me of similar predictions about Global Crossing, ENRON, WorldCom, JDS Uniphase, etc. a few years ago. Some of these companies are still excellent investments . . . but not at prices once predicted. By the way, some of these companies have faded away.

BL, I respectfully disagree, but these are SOLID companies with SOLID management (I wish I could throw in more SOLIDS, but I just don't have the need). I could flood this board with research, but I'll keep it to QBID.

These guys that run Google have amazing drive and passion via a Mark Cuban or someone of that nature. I LOVE management like that, and I wish Frank would show us a little bit of that with QBID.

No need to appologize if that post was copied from another board. Next time you should note that though. Sorry for being mildly hard on you today and welcome.

I recall at one time seeing an address for Q Television that was just a block west of the airport(Airport Road or something like that). Would you happen to know what that facility is?
quote: posted by jennifercd10 Stashu We are unfamiliar with the area. I may go out there myself in a week or two.

Do either of you know if the street ran east to west or north to south?
Was the building on a corner or in the middle of the block?
Anything?
Thanks for responding Jennifer, this has been an issue in the back of my mind since last year. There was another address for Q, 700 Tahquitz Canyon Way just a few blocks away from the Indian Canyon Way address. This address coincidentally is also the home of a Gay owned wine company(Rainbow Ridge Wines) that was interviewed by Qtv last year.
Maybe this is an old office space that Q had occupied, i don't know.
The other address(which I can't seem to find now) that is a block away from the airport looks like a residential property from the satellite photo. Frank's house ?
Anyway, how about bringing a camera with you next time? I'd like to see the joint as I'm sure many here would also. Thanks

Current Rating: C+
About Q Television
This 24/7 premium television network is organized to create, develop and feature television programming for the gay and lesbian community, including live & interactive content every weeknight, plus sports, information and entertainment. While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public. The company's programming is available on a subscription basis to those desiring to subscribe. The network is telecast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Q Television Network is the official network of Gay Games® VII. The network is also ad-supported. L U D L OW C A P I T A L, I N C.
FALL 2005 LINE-UP
Some of the programs Q Television will be broadcasting are Q on the Move, In Foqus, Women on Women, and On Q Live. Also included in this Fall season will be such ground-breaking shows as "Queer Edge", "Gay Court," "Flesh and Threads," "Q on Broadway," "It's A Drag," "On the Road to the Gay Games" and the country's first gay morning news and entertainment show, "Brunch."
STRONG POINTS
Some of the strong points to QBID is the attractiveness of their business model, and attempts to restructure the stock. QBID’s concept of offering one of the first Gay and Lesbian TV Channel is an idea that is long over due. The ability for Q Television Network to generate month revenue for recurring subscriptions to the channel, and the attraction of advertisers who wish to target that explosive demographic makes Q Television one of the new cutting edge companies trading on the small-cap market. Not only would this targeted demographic bring immediate revenues to Q Television top line, but it could go a long way in bringing in a new crop of investors interested in this business model and lifestyle as potential shareholders. The Company announced back on July 22, 2005 the launch of their Q Television Network in Maine, on the Time Warner Cable systems. QBID recently announced a 53% reduction in the Companies tradable float, which could go a long way in giving QBID more upside movement as news rolls out. Frank Olsen, the President of Q Television Network recently commented, “We converted QBID shares into preferred stock, eliminating fifty-three percent of the tradable outstanding shares. We are confident this will strengthen the demand for our stock, and dry up the supply of trading shares that we feel are being manipulated in the market. Converting our common stock into preferred stock will allow us to retain voting rights, but will also squeeze out the large short position in the stock.
WEAK POINTS
The weak points to QBID are really the same for most small micro cap stocks. One of the main issues we see preventing new & institutional investors is the lack of transparency, and audited financials. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing their financial audits, which would go a long way in making QBID a more liquid issue, and would surely make us consider raising QBID a full grade up to B+. As a non-reporting Pink Sheet issue, investors can only guess on the true current shares outstanding, and any potential liabilities that may be hanging over the Company. Until audits are completed, we would caution investors to wait on the wings till an independent audit review can be released to the public. Another potential weak point for QBID is the possibility of competition from other well back networks wishing to jump in to this growing and lucrative market. As long as QBID can keep launching on new Channels they will have an even greater & greater chance of making it as a standard Channel for the Gay & Lesbian community, which also may make QBID an attractive acquisition target to potential bigger players.
SUMMARY
QBID has a great business model, which they seem to be executing now as a real broadcast entity. Though, the hang-over of still being a non-reporting and transparent Pink Sheet issue makes us wary of giving this growing Company a higher ranking at this time. Continued launching of new Channels, and the completion of independent audits would surely make us consider raising QBID ranking one full grade in the future. But, at this current time we have to give QBID a current grade of C+, but with the potential of improvement if the following points are fulfilled.

Quick thought; sorry if it has been discussed already.
If preferred stock has superior voting rights then perhaps Frank doesn't need 53% of the total O/S.
I imagine if Frank own's the prefferred shares he could cancel out many of those shares and still retain voting rights. Later, if/when he decides to sell he could still ask for a much larger value than their paper worth because the new owner would pretty much take control of the whole company. This could just be one more step to help out all of us little investors. If he could take another 3-4 billion off the table that would be great. Thoughts? Matt

PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2005--Q Television Network (OTCBB Other: QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, announced today that the company has hired a team of investigators in an effort to uncover any inappropriate trading activity. "I am extremely frustrated with the current value of our shares," said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. "As you know, we are currently in an audit to become a fully reporting company. With all the positive news the network has had I am deeply concerned that the stock has not increased in value, and this investigation has become my number one concern."
Q Television is taking aggressive steps to stop any inappropriate selling of QBID. The network wants to uncover any unrecorded shareholders and disclose all market makers. Q will look into where the market makers are getting their stock, and will, to the best of its ability, start an investigation to flush out any inappropriate sales, thus ensuring that every share is purchased and paid for before it is resold on the market.
"Once the internal investigation is over we will be able to give our shareholders an accurate final share count of QBID. We will be able to determine how many legal shares exist in the market place, and any inappropriate trading will be dealt with by the regulatory agencies. We will do our best to uncover any manipulation of the stock, and we ask that all our loyal shareholders come to us with any questions or concerns about this manipulation. We have set up an email address for all your questions at shareholderprotection@qtelevision.com," Olsen continued.
This investigation is an important part of the current audit, and it will help QBID speed up the process of becoming a fully reporting company.
I GUESS FRANK FRAUDSTER OLSEN WHO TELLS THE WORLD OF 3 BUYBACKS THAT NEVER HAPPEN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHARE PRICE.
HOW ABOUT THE BUYBACKS WITHOUT ANY SHARE COUNT.
WHAT ABOUT FEB O4 WHEN QBID HAS 15-BILLION SHARES AND THEN GIVES AWAY ANOTHER 6-BILLION AND THEN AUTHORIZES 50-BILLION MORE FOR A 71-BILLION TOTAL SHARE COUNT.
WHAT ABOUT THE $7-MILLION DOLLARS ON FAILURE IN 2000. 4-YEAR EXPENSES AT $33,000/MONTH TO TOTAL 1.5 MILLION, ONGOING $780,000/MONTH EXPENSES FOR THE PAST 12-MONTHS AT 9-MILLION DOLLARS, A $2-MILLION DOLLAR LOAN AND 5-YEAR GUARANTEED FINANCING HAS TO BE REPAID AND NO WAY TO EXPLAIN WHERE THAT MONEY COMES FROM.
FRANK THE FRAUDSTER SAYS HE "RETIRED" SHARES.
NOW HE TELLS US 53% OF THE STOCK WHICH HE OWNS AND HE'S GOING TO RESTRICT SO THAT IT CAN'T BE USED. UH HELLO, DOES ANYONE HAVE ACCESS TO BILL GATES 2-BILLION SHARES TO TRADE? SINCE THERE IS NO ACCESS IT'S NOT PART OF THE FLOAT WHICH IS THE SHARES THAT ARE TRADED, TO RESTRICT FRAUDSTERS SHARES IN ANY WAY MEANS NOTTA!
NOW WE'RE IN A AUDIT TO BECOME A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY. OH HERE WE GO AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT, NOW THE UP-TEENTH TIME WE'RE DOING THIS. RENEE JUST SLIPPED US AND TOLD US QBID IS "DIRTY" AND CAN'T UPGRADE. BETTER YET, THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER FRAUDSTER TOLD US HE WAS UPGRADING.
NOW HE'S TOOTING THAT HORN AGAIN. WE'RE UPGRADING.
WE HAVE Q-MOBILES WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN AND FURTHER, HOW TO PAY FOR THEM AND WHO'S PAYING FOR THEM? FRAUDSTER TELLS US HE HAS PRODUCTION STUDIO'S ALL ACROSS AMERICA, WELL WHO'S PAYING FOR THAT? OFFICE IN NY CITY, WHO'S PAYING FOR THAT?
AMAZING HOW THE BANK OF INVISIBLE KEEPS GIVING FRANK THE FRAUDSTER MONEY. OH, HOW ABOUT THOSE PRIVATE HEDGE FUNDS THAT WERE BIG NAME ENTITIES. WHO'S REPAYING THOSE PEOPLE?
YOU HAVE A CHANNEL WITH NO DISCLOSED VIEWER BASE, YOU HAVE VIACOM WHICH IS A FREE CHANNEL AND REPORTING HOW MANY SUBS THEY HAVE.
SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS, WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM? NOW TO BOOT, WE'RE GOING TO HIRE A INDEPENDENT FIRM TO RESEARCH THE STOCK. WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?
SO AFTER THIS INVESTIGATION WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A ACCURATE SHARE COUNT? SO WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN FEB 04 WHEN WE WERE GIVEN QBID HAS 15-BILLION SHARES AND NOW?
FURTHER, HOW CAN FRAUDSTER RESTRICT 53% OF THE STOCK IF HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE SHARE COUNT IS UNTIL THE "INVESTIGATORS" GET DONE DOING WHAT THEY DO?
GEE, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY QBID WOULD BE .0014. WE ARE DEMANDING TO KNOW, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT. WE'RE GONNA DO THIS AND WE'RE GONNA DO THAT.
YOU GO FRANK. SOUND THE TRUMPETS, Q IS ON THE MOVE.

All I have to respond is that Time Warner is on our side. I suppose Time Warner deals with little local broadcast channels that have no future. Q Television is nationwide channel. A lot of what our famous post has to say is a lot of their opinion of which they have no evidence of. I've completely proved him/her wrong on every point once. Do I have to do it again? Matt

Thanks PJ Some people are too fast 4 themselves. Basher: One who looks at life negatively, promotes their agenda at another’s cost, never shares only hoards, leech, misleads others, skirts or twists the truth, plans another’s demise for personal gain, creates and promotes false information, has low self-esteem thus the need to take from others.
