They were fully-reporting and on the NYSE at the time Viacom bought them for $3 billion dollars.
An oft-mentioned fact of BET is that they weren't making a profit. That's right, they weren't, but they were at least honest in their audits, and fully announced everything to the public. They were SEC-auditing. QBID could be breaking even, hell, it could be making money hand over fist, and I'm still not putting anything more in till I see it in an audit.
That's the difference here people. The biggest problem that QBID has is Frank. Specifically with his half-truths and weaseling. He can't weasel anymore if he's publishing audits with the SEC. We have to make sure he does this, even if operating at a loss. The audit is objective #1, just as it should be with *ANY* pink sheet stock.
KEEP THIS IN MIND - When Frank releases the audit this Halloween, it will not be a fully-reporting audit. It will be an unverified audit. Still, it should be relatively close to a full one or else Frank is boning us again.

If it goes down more it doesn't mean that Q is bankrupt, it just means the pps has to go up again. He stated that nobody is going to bail if it goes down. I would be stupid to bail at these prices as I would lose enough money to buy a new Saturn, so I will hold and accumulate.

DENVER - The owner of The Dish Network said Thursday it pulled the Outdoor Life Network from its system after the cable channel failed to provide NHL games to the nation's second-largest satellite television provider.
EchoStar Communications Corp. spokesman Marc Lumpkin said the network did not show games on Oct. 10-11 and on Monday and Tuesday as advertised. "We were not given advance notice that they would not show the programming," he said.
Although best known for broadcasting the Tour de France and cyclist Lance Armstrong, OLN this fall took over broadcasting National Hockey League games on cable from ESPN, a unit of The Walt Disney Co.
"We are surprised and disappointed that Dish has unilaterally chosen to stop providing OLN to its customers, and denied fans the opportunity to watch sports coverage on OLN," spokeswoman Amy Phillips said.
The contract dispute between EchoStar and OLN revolves around OLN's placement in a higher-priced channel package by Dish Network, which is distributed to fewer viewers.
OLN, owned by cable giant Comcast Corp., set a requirement that the channel must be seen by 40 percent of a cable or satellite TV system's viewers in order for it to broadcast the NHL games. It said the Dish Network has failed to meet that requirement.
Lumpkin declined to comment on the specifics of the dispute.
EchoStar would have to move the channel from its top package to a lower-cost package that may have fewer channels but more viewers. That would raise the fees Dish Network viewers pay.
"We work hard to provide choice for customers and to keep prices low," Eric Sahl, an EchoStar senior vice president, said in a statement. "Most of our customers have made the decision they do not want to pay the additional cost of watching the channel."
EchoStar hasn't been afraid to take on networks before. In March 2004, it pulled Viacom Inc. programming — including MTV, the Comedy Channel and Nickelodeon — from the Dish Network for two days until an agreement was struck on a long-term contract.
Based in suburban Englewood, EchoStar's Dish Network has about 11.4 million customers
