Very strange people you all are. Different. What is all the fuss about? All the hype and babble? Nobody knows...thats why it is speculation. Unless you are a technical chart reader and it is very difficult to read the pink sheet charts, hence the reason why most investors stay away from them, there is no way to know what is going to happen. But I know this, it is good news...so I bought some, it has went down, oh well...I still think it is great news and it did not cost me much money so if it goes up then awesome! But I dont expect QBID to be my lifeline investment. But it is funny how much time people spend babbling about this stuff. I have read 10 pages f conversations that contain only 2 or 3 different conversations 7 times. It is crazy how much you all repeat yourself and how your emotions go up and down like roller coasters. Call me some childish basher or whatever. Hey if you want your high feeling of thinking you have any clue what this stock is going to do...have at it. But wow! What a trip Like a bunch of little girls meeting Brad Pitt for the first time.

It seems like you think this runs more on a set of natural investing laws than on someone manipulating.
Qbid's pps slide really began about 6 months before the 1 year anniversary, which IMHO is when any restricted shares issued for the launch matured and became available for sale in the open market. Until Frank proves to me this is not happening, through the details of an audit or a shareholder list, I just do not believe the manipulation claims!
I am not close enough to their HQ to visit and demand the documentation as is allowed under the State of Washington laws, however, if there is anyone here close enough to visit, please write a letter to Frank/Rene letting them know that you will be coming to their office to visit (you have to give them 5 days warning with a list of what youwant to see), and you want to see certain documentation related to their business.

IANDAVIS just yesterday your calling yourself new to this stuff and today your acting like you know everything.
"from iandavis" -"How could this thing get to a .5/share? Just curious? That would make pretty much every one invested in QBID a millionaire and the company worth over 10 billion dollars. How does it work for it to make to .5? Do they reverse split? I am new to this stuff. Thanks and again pardon the ignorance."

Just because we can demand to see the company financials doesn't mean we should do it. I think we should just sit tight let them do their job and waite for them to release the financials. I do have a few questions though. If every other company can have their quarterly resulst out without delay why such a long waite for Qbid to put out their financials? If we are going to assume that COX was able to take a look at the company financials prior to the contract being established it suprises me that information has not leaked out about Qbids financials since it's not really private info but public. Also even when the financials are released we will have specific info, but, why would it stop the maniputaition? Naked shorting would still be able to continue. I think the only way to get the share price where it deserves to be is to get off the pinks. Once we are able to get on a board that has tigh regulation and watchdogs I think we will be able to get the price up. Just some thoughts and opinions.

uhartford Actually . . . even though I am one of the people he is "criticizing", I think he makes some good points, such as:
1) "Very strange people you all are. Different." --- He's right, but that's what makes us so interesting.
2) "What is all the fuss about? All the hype and babble? Nobody knows...thats why it is speculation." --- Right again. I sure don't know what is going to happen . . . and no one else does either, despite all the "theories" that keep getting posted.
3) "there is no way to know what is going to happen." --- See 2).
4) "But I know this, it is good news" --- Yep, right again.
5) ". . . it is funny how much time people spend babbling about this stuff. I have read 10 pages of conversations that contain only 2 or 3 different conversations 7 times. It is crazy how much you all repeat yourself and how your emotions go up and down like roller coasters." --- He's right, although I see nothing wrong with people posting their opinions and sharing some social comments. If we only posted what we "know for sure", this would be a dead board.
6) "Like a bunch of little girls meeting Brad Pitt for the first time." --- Okay, I draw the line here. I prefer to be described as an old man meeting Pamela Anderson for the first time.
Anyway, his comments were interesting, entertaining, mostly correct and made us forget our "conspiracy theories" for a few minutes. Nothing wrong with that. Now back to business: Anyone want to guess what's going to happen today . . . next week . . . next year?

pennypoor I agree with you. No offense to the ones who want to be pro-active about getting information, but I believe stockholders should let top management run the company. We are trying to make decisions based on limited and often erroneous information. No one can make consistently accurate decisions that way. In my opinion, the only negative about owning Q shares right now is that the PPS ain't where I want it to be. But I own some blue chips that are down also . . . and I don't hear anyone threatening to "check their books". Just a thought . . . just an opinion . . . just babbling.

Bottomliner. Thank you for having a good sense of humor Thats why I read boards. Yes I am new to .0017 pennt stocks. But that does not mean I am new to the stockmarket. All I am saying is this things are frowned upon by most folks. I can definitely see the upside but there is an incredible downside too. As with any investment. Hey I want to be rich too. As we all do I am sure. But 500,000 is not rich and we are not all going to make that off of this stock. It is not worth that. Alot of reverse splitting would have to occur. There are billions of shares out there. Billions!!! If each went to .5 that would make this company worth so much money its ridiculous. So in order for it to go to AMEX or NAS or a major market would cost a fortune especially if we (which we all are I am sure) are too greedy to not sell are shares back so this can occur. We know we are holding a lotto ticket. But it is only a matter of time and how much. It is the same for every stock on the market. Including the downsides. Now, like everyone else, I have a problem with our good leader Mr. Frank not showing the reports, but who the hell am I to tell him what I think? The dude has the weight. I own say 3.5 mill shares of his company...and...? so? like I said there a billions of shares. My 3.5 have no clout to that. I am but a measly .001 percent of the company. Yes I believe that should mean something...but in the real world it doesn't. So Richard and Frank can pull my finger and see what suprise pops out. So lets all once again dig into the files and pull up all the PRs we can find once again.
Again just adding a little fun to the repetition of this board.
Oh by the way bottomliner...did you happen to see Pam Anderosn on her roast the other niight? WHOA! What a shirt huh?

MillerTIME I have no problem with anyone calling Q for answers or clarifications. I appreciate (and depend on) all the work you and others do on behalf of all Q shareholders. My only concern about shareholders being too pro-active is that we may "get in the way" of Frank's plan. I don't want the Q staff spending more time dealing with concerned shareholders than they do finding carriers and getting their financials in order.
I think most posters here are sincere about wanting Q to succeed, although we have different thoughts about how and when it should happen. We all have different amounts of patience and react to stress differently, but all will be forgotten when Q finally realizes our expectations.

I must be a QBIDiot myself because I continue to buy at a measured pace. I too have a very strong core position that you could say is in a vault. My time horizon is now at 3 & 1/2 years but willing to sit on it longer if things are half as good as the potential appears. My thinking is that before I reach my time horizon Frank will do as he's done in the past & put this puppy up for sale. We could get an unsolicited offer as well if he makes serious progress. We shall see.
Very late, almost every night I throw out a post just to let people know I'm still here. I just hang in there & keep checking the reason I bought into this thing,,,
(1) Do they have a product or service?
(2) Is it a quality product or service?
(3) Is it a marketable product or service?
(4) Are there precedents, companies that provide the same kind of product or service?
(5) Do most if not all these companies trade for over a dollar a share?
(6) What differentiates my prospect from these other companies?
(7) Do they have a target demographic?
(8) Does that demographic have the means to support the product?
(9) Where does the commercial community stand, do Fortune 500 Companies want to reach the prospect's target demographic?
(10) Can the prospect deliver an effective avenue for the major corporations to reach this market?
(11) Do they have sponsors?
(12) What's the possible impact of their primary competition & will my prospect have the lead in the market?
(13) Does this prospect have management with a proven track record of not only running a company but actually bringing a company to market, making it successful & profiting from this endeavor.
And most importantly one personal question,,,
(14) Do I have the discipline, willingness & conviction to maintain a large core position. ............................................................................... The purchasing power of the U.S. gay and lesbian population will hit an estimated $610 billion in 2005, according to a 2004 study by Witeck-Combs Communications, a Washington, D.C.-based marketing firm specializing in the gay marketplace.
Michelle Scales, director of Wells Fargo's division of "diverse growth segments," ticked off a list of attributes that makes the gay and lesbian market a natural fit for the bank: the U.S. gay population is estimated to include 15 million people with a combined $610 billion in purchasing power. Gays and lesbians are twice as likely to own a small business as non-gays, and 75 percent have incomes above the national average. Seven of every 10 gay couples own a home.

Ian Missed it . . . but it will be repeated, so I will make sure I catch it next time. However, I've seen the home videos Tommy and Pamela made "for their own enjoyment", so anything after that is pretty tame.

Well the PR has not been removed from "PRIMEZONE" newswire.
Q Television Network Closes Studio Deal in Burbank, CA PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Aug. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Q Television Network (Pink Sheets:QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on September 5th, announced today that it has purchased and closed on a revenue generating studio in Burbank, California. The studio will be renamed "Q Television Media City" and will be the center of all of Q's original programming.
Q Television Media City -- when not in use filming for Q Television -- will be rented out to filmmakers, television creators and entertainment executives seeking a Los Angeles studio for production. Currently the studio generates up to $400,000.00 per month in production fees.
"This turn-key facility, which has been the home of "Jeopardy" and the "Wheel of Fortune," is state of the art and will make our transition out of Dallas quite seamless," said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. "Our Partnership with Firestone has never been stronger, but our growth required us to obtain an independent studio of our own. Media City equips us with all the necessary technology and space to create, produce and shoot all of our original programs. Q Television is now extremely visible to the media universe because of our own studio in close proximity to the most famous studios in the world. We are extremely pleased with this purchase, and the added income that the studio will bring in will reduce our monthly liability by 73 percent."
There will be an open house for all viewers and investors mid-September. An announcement on the exact date and time will be made a few weeks in advance.
GO QBID!!!!! Some Green Would Be Nice

sweetness34 how do you think our Bears will do with Grossman down and not a really sound back up. It's nice to have a healthy offensive line and a solid d-line that will keep us in the games. Sorry for the off topic but i'ts a bit slow today.
