It's kind of funny talking to someone with the same name, isn’t it? I work with the Navy and have an email account with them; the global email directory on that network is so large that there are three other guys with the same first AND last names as me, so we end up getting each other's email all the time and have to forward things to each other.
Anyway, with a name like that you can't be all that bad!

This A/S argument is getting out of hand. Lets try this in terms that everyone will understand:
Lets say you have multiple credit cards
Card 1 Credit Line $30,000 Balance $4000 Card 2 Credit Line $10,000 Balance $ 500 Card 3 Credit Line $ 5,000 Balance $ 0 Card 4 Credit Line $25,000 Balance $5000
By everybody's logic here, you are in debt for $70,000. Never mind you didn't use all of your credit line and really owe $9500. That is just a bunch of bull. All caluculations should use the 45B O/S until we are told otherwise.
Look, I am NOT happy that Frank increased the A/S. But until I see PROOF that the O/S is 60,000,000,000, then it is just a "credit line" at our expense. And I believe that the majority of shareholders will vote no on Mary Hartman. I want that audit bad too, but I don't think we'll see it for a couple of months. Just my opinion and I REALLY hope that I am wrong.
As far as the DVD goes, I hope they save their money and foget about it. But if it is really coming, IMO, they are waiting for a major announcement that they can put in the DVD before release to investors. What makes anybody think the DVD is only for us? It could be for eventual institutonal investors (if we ever get out of our current pps mess).
As far as doing business with a pink sheet company, I was jsut going over a list of pinks and found out that my employer, the nations largest defense contractor with 135,000 employees and sales of over $30B a year, uses Navigant as the SOLE travel agent for the company. We are not allowed to make travel arrangements through any other source but this company unless we have VP approval. The symbol is FLYR.PK. I couldn't believe it when I saw it but I don't think my company would do business with them if they weren't legit. So not all PK are bad.

FCC to reverse course on cable: WSJ By MarketWatch Last Update: 1:25 AM ET Nov. 29, 2005
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Communications Commission is set to reverse course and suggest cable TV companies could best serve consumers by letting them subscribe to individual channels instead of prepackaged bundles, according to a media report Tuesday.
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is expected to announce Tuesday at a Senate hearing that the FCC will soon reissue its review of cable industry "a la carte" pricing with a different conclusion, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition, citing an unnamed FCC official familiar with the report. See Wall Street Journal story (Subscription required)
While the original report concluded that consumers would pay more for individual channels, the new one concludes they could pay less, The Journal said.
A spokesman for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association said the cable-industry lobbying group would have no comment until it had time to review the new report, The Journal reported.
Earlier this year, Martin expressed concerns about the earlier report and asked the FCC staff to review it, the Journal said. The staff concluded the original report relied in part on faulty analysis of data, The Journal said, citing an unnamed FCC official.
A year ago, an initial report concluded that consumers would save money on an a la carte plan only if they subscribed to fewer than nine channels, the Journal said. The average cable subscriber watches 17 channels, the FCC staff found, suggesting a rate increase of anywhere from 14% to 30%, according to The Journal said.
Martin's reported policy change concerns the cable industry, partly because it opens a new front in the government's efforts to impose indecency standards on cable and satellite provider, The Journal said.
Until now, the cable industry has resisted suggestions from Martin and some lawmakers to voluntarily offer a la carte choices or set up a "family-friendly tier" of channels suitable for children, the Journal said. By suggesting that consumers won't necessarily pay more for individual channels, the report calls into question the cable industry's revenue model, according to the story.
While the FCC can't force the cable industry to change its business model, its voice will add considerable weight to the debate and could embolden lawmakers eager to give consumers, particularly parents, more control over which television programming enters their homes.
Aside from the technical challenge of offering hundreds of channels on an individual basis, cable programmers and operators say such a switch would raise costs and reduce choices for consumers, the Journal reported. That's because, they say, pooling a group of channels into one cable package effectively lowers the cost of offering all of the channels.

OP....Great analogy, just because it's there you don't have to use it. Frank has the extra shares just incase and if he doesn't use them by the alloted time the shares are no longer available.

I think this means that Frank is fat and happy and cares less about the share holder. Call it what you want. Frank is irresponsible when it comes to delivering timelines. He's just not that disciplined. Like I said before, "It's just the way he is" Love him or leave him.

Interesting article from Reuters this morning:
Welcome to the Reuters Before the Bell Newsmail.
Wall Street has confidence in confidence - consumer confidence, that is. Stock futures are pointing up as investors expect Conference Board data after the opening bell will show shoppers are more comfortable about spending their money in this holiday season than they were in October.
But plenty of other numbers are on the way. Economists expect new homes sales to show some deceleration in October, with orders for big-ticket items like refrigerators and cars on an upswing.
The dollar edged up against the yen and the euro in hopes that the data will cement expectations of rising U.S. interest rates. U.S. Treasuries are flat.
Oil prices are hovering around $57 a barrel after OPEC bent over backwards to assure consumers they would have enough fuel for the winter.
In other precious commodities, gold rose above $500 a troy ounce for the first time since the 1980s.
Cable viewers, take note. The Wall Street Journal says the FCC is poised to suggest that cable systems give customers the option of subscribing to individual channels rather than packages.
And insurer Cigna is expanding its online pricing data for consumers to include services provided by hospitals, doctors and other health care providers.

Wouldn't a lot of channels go out of business though? Or at least greatly reduce their exposure?

It was a good analogy but it should also show that to the eyes of a loan company all of your available credit is held against you because if you wanted to use it it is possible to do so....

If I were given the choice of which channels I would choose, and let's say I also am in the market for QTN, I would probably sub out some other channels (Telemundo?? CSPAN?? etc) and opt in for QTN... that would actually, in my opinion, greatly increase the demand for QTN...because anyone who has the excuse that their monthly bill is just where they want it, no longer can say that...because they can choose exactly what channels they want and what they don't want...
