that type of behaviour has been going on for a year and a half over there.
I really dont know why anyone that has enough intelligence to create that kind of crap would waste thier time on that type of crap.
there are people that get off on making others feel bad and i believe that is what fuels them.
they revel in others pain. I know many people like that but the reality is that these people are miserable and want company, it makes them feel better about thier pathetic lives.
How sad it is, i can not understand this behavior but have witnessed this on several occasions.

could someone explain how the price can be kept down and prevented from being able to fluctuate naturally. I am new to the investment scene and I'm sure there are others here that are not that familiar with how this happens and it would be a great lesson since we see it happening before our eyes.

a run is coming. They are matching buys with sells.... Means a tight trade action. With a plus in the buys we will move.

hey pp, i cant talk long..you are not alone in your questions about MM...i see posts all the time about MM this and MM that..the funny thing is that the MM do not control the stock as much as most people think...the ONLY way the MM held that stock down yesterday is by naked shorting the stock...they do it in 9M share blocks...i have seen it so much now, that i can nearly call how many 9M blocks will be sold....
like just around noon there was 9M,1M,9M,1M all sold at .0016--this does not fill anybodys order at 16 becuase it is the mm that are just naked shorting shares...this brings the pps down and they have an infiniate number of shares to naked short because they are FAKE shares...not real!!!
so to answer your question its, naked shorting...MM naked shorting massive amounts of shares to hold the pps down...in the past hour we have seen like a 10:1 buy to sell ratio..
TIP: when you see a whole bunch of buys in a row--get ready for a good 9M share sell, or maybe 2 or 3!!!

It looks like COX had a great quarter and no doubt an even better one coming up with "Q" on board Not to shabby.
Cox Communications Announces Second Quarter and Year-To-Date Financial Results for 2005 Demand for bundled services grows revenues 11%; high customer satisfaction scores outpace competitors
ATLANTA - Cox Communications, Inc. today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
“This quarter we surpassed a major milestone: three million Cox customers now subscribe to a bundle of two or more services,” said Jim Robbins, president and CEO of Cox Communications. “Nearly half of our basic subscribers have realized the convenience and value of bundled services.”
“We added over 89,000 telephone customers in the second quarter, and the excellent quality and value of our phone service earned us a third consecutive J.D. Power and Associates award for overall customer satisfaction in the western region. Building on that success, Cox plans to launch Cox Digital Telephone in five additional markets in the second half of 2005.”
“The strong quarter also marked our best ever for sell-in of all advanced services and a reduction in churn across all product categories. With all our sales channels focused on increasing the number of bundled customers, we now report 13.2 million RGUs, which translates into higher revenues that fuel greater free cash flow.”
SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
For the second quarter of 2005, Cox:
Ended the quarter with approximately 13.2 million total RGUs, up 11% from June 30, 2004, driven by 22% year-over-year growth in advanced-service RGUs. Added 48,768 Cox Digital Cable customers, ending the quarter with approximately 2.6 million digital cable customers, representing year-over-year customer growth of 12%. Cox Digital Cable is now available to 99% of the homes in Cox's service areas with 41% penetration of our basic video customer base. Added 97,779 high-speed Internet customers, ending the quarter with over 2.8 million high-speed Internet customers, representing year-over-year customer growth of 27%. Added 89,023 Cox Digital Telephone customers, ending the quarter with over 1.5 million telephone customers, representing year-over-year customer growth of 33%. Generated $366.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $36.9 million in free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). Generated 11% revenue growth during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. Generated 7% operating income growth and 12% operating cash flow growth (operating income before depreciation and amortization) during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 15% operating income growth and 14% operating cash flow growth during the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004.

great call pennies about the matching trades...i was just going to address this...
last time we saw this was after frank switched his shares over and a run began about 2 days later i believe...once you start seeing matching trades go through (a buy and a sell at the exact same time for the exact same amount of shares) this is a clear indiciation that the MM are low on shares...and in my opinion, i think the MM are NOT SHORT at all anymore,,,no no no,,,i think they see the huge run in the future and are loading up

I agree with you, noah129. 13 million shares! You're going to do very well, IMO. What's your average? Right now, I'm holding three million at .0016 average.

ah finaly someone who thinks the same way like me :)where did al of you get the he sad its was at least worth 3- 5 billion dollars, what i had read was that the totaly GLBT market was worth 3-5 billlion dollars, and not his company, last year when he anounced the thing about the 3000 videos he sad he's company had an value of 150 million dollars, that a big differents with 3 billion... maybe a question that you could ask Richard!
quote:Originally posted by sweetness34: Whiz.. The more i look at your post the more i am troubled.
I don’t mean to pick your DD apart but what kind of research leads you to believe that QBID could be sold for $3billion? When you look at recent mergers and acquisitions like Reebok ($3.8 bill), Instinet Group ($1.9 bill), Ask Jeeves ($1.9 Bill)… where did you come up with your numbers??? I don’t mind people throwing ideas and numbers out there but to throw numbers like $3bill and $7bill is kinda irresponsible even if it is just your opinion.
Again I would love for QBID to be sold at 5 or 6 bill, but right now is that realistic?
If I have missed the point of your post I am sorry but really where did you come up with your numbers??
quote:Originally posted by sweetness34: Whiz- I really like your breakdown.... But i still have to think that there are more that 10bil o/s. When you see a day like this, it is hard to imagine that 1/10 or more of that total o/s were traded today. Trust me i really hope you're right but i would be shocked if there are 10bil or less o/s.
quote:Originally posted by whizknock: I think that now my estimate of 100,000 subscribers by the time of the games might be conservative. But at the very least it would appear that our conjecture is very realistic. .............................................................................
Consider this!
The bad news first!
Lets take a look at what some would see as worst case scenario. Lets say we see a published audit with 20 or even 25 billion shares out there. I for one am almost sure that's a very high guess. But for the sake of argument lets say it's 25 billion.
Buy next year the games get coverage, we don't even show a profit yet but revenues will have spiked from the games & a modest 100,000 subscriptions which will be growing at a respectable pace. If that holds up QBID will have already surpassed the value of BET when it was sold. Say Frank lets this thing go at 3 billion dollars.
Three billion dollars makes 25 billion shares worth .12 a share!
What if the audit is really bad, 50 billion shares? You're still looking at SIX CENTS A SHARE! I can't speak for anyone else here but if I'm getting paid SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for every two grand I plunk down today I won't cry for any more than a minute.
Now for the good news!
Lets say the audit shows 10 billion shares outstanding (which I still believe is a high estimate) & everything else I said still holds up. First thing I can tell you, if that's the case, frank will not be letting this go for three billion. But say he does. Now we're looking at a FLAT VALUE OF THIRTYTRHEE CENTS A SHARE!
I'm not done!
The reason Frank is having a professional audit done is to provide suitors with a clean bill of health for QBID. Moving to another exchange will be a fringe benefit that will make the product shine a little more.
Remember the PR about reducing its Tradable Stock by Fifty-Three Percent?
"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," said Olsen. "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. Q Television will continue to be as aggressive as possible, and do everything necessary to ensure our shareholders are treated fairly." .....................................................................
This isn't about manipulation! Frank doesn't give a $h!t about MMs. Well maybe a little bit but this was about polishing the product.
Frank's not trying to take 53% of three billion dollars. His major concern was absolute control over his company. Frank will be more than happy with a couple hundred million bucks. Again, this was another move not to scare off potential suiters. Hold that thought!
Personally I like Frank having complete control. Let's just pretend that that Frank, you know, the same Frank that has already sold a profitable media enterprise to Sumner Redstone. Lets just pretend he really wants this thing to be sold & actually kept the share count at or around 4 billion outstanding or less & lets pretend we're even close to actually reporting a profit by the end of the second quarter of 2006.
He will sell! He will sell while he has the attention of major players! And it will not be for three billion dollars! Now you're looking at a bare minimum of 5 billion dollars Maybe as much as 7 billion. If QBID actually showing a profit & we're getting international attention in 40 countries you could even make an argument for,,,,use your imagination!!!!
The hell with it! I'll stay with 5 billion dollars. Factor in Frank's 53% controlling interest which has now been reduced to a handfull of super voting shares & we're starting to see the big picture.
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS & FOUR BILLION SHARES!
This will not come as a huge surprise to me because Genuine Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than a dollar a share.
I've said it many times. I will not begin to liquidate my core position until I see $1.25 a share!
From my very humble vantage point,,,
"All we ever had to do is launch!"

Its been said and repeated a few times. There will not be an "official" PR on this issue. I also went and searched and can find no where that any channel added to Cox released a PR by themselves or by Cox. So I believe the statement MT got from Richard that Cox does not allow those to be done, but approved the Investor Relations email sending.
If you are a Cox subscriber call them and try and subscribe. The one person yesterday said they did and were told they couldnt add subscriptions for products unreleased yet but that they had heard on the floor a number of new channels had been added to the lineup but the details and specific channels added had yet to trickle down to the phone staff.
I am not worried or even slightly concerned about this deal, Cox would have been all over them with a lawsuit by now if it was not true and that would have made the news. Just like the Oxygen snafu did.
I also do not believe, as I said yesterday, with as many channels as there are trying to get picked up that Cox would have chosen Q without some more information than just pink sheet PRs. They had to have seen a balance sheet or an audit in my opinion or know something that none of us are even guessing at yet or they wouldnt have added them. That speaks volumes to me. And its all good news.
