It's not showing up on the ticker, they must have added my shares in with another trade, I had 35,000, they sold at .00002. I owe my broker 5.39 to cover the trade , that sucks.

You are joking right? 35K shares? and what is "Vacating"? Man O Man this stock is so comical. I dont understand why so many people have so many different intentions regarding The Q.

Those shares cost me 600 bucks and I sold them for less than 2 bucks. Well that's it for me. Thanks to all the longs for the good advice. But now that you guys are in contact with Jack E Jett , things should turn around.

Im curious...and you dont have to answer...but why would you sell and only get $2 bucks back? Why not wait until the end of the year and if the stock still was miserable, you sell then for a tax write off? What is $2 bucks gonna get you that waiting 8 months to see if it moves north doesnt? Anyhoo, sorry about the loss.

the majority stockholders can take a company private, but they can't just announce that and leave shareholders in the dust. if he really was taking it private, to truly take it private he would have to buy our shares as well. one can't just say we're private without proper compensation.
plus, if this guy screwed over shareholders (again) by essentially ripping them off, i can guarantee you there would be no way for the company to succeed. vacating shares- sounds like bull to me. i sure hope that is shliks last post like he promised

in case anyone cares, if a company ceases to trade on any type of market, those that are short would not be required to pay taxes on it, since their brokerage house wouldn't report the gains. if the stock stops trading and disappears then there is no closing out of the short position, and therefore it doesnt appear on a 1099. anyone who is short this will do whatever it takes to get the stock to worthless status (it's not quite there yet!) because they would earn 20-30% more depending on tax status.

To whom it may concern: I bought this stock BY MISTAKE!!! I did not mean to execute, therefore i take 100% of the blame for being a part of your thread here. I have left my T&S for the most part of the day and have seen MILLIONS and even a BILLION shares change hands today and i cant help but wonder WHEN my 30m shares will ever execute. I did do my DD and have heard mostly poor things about this company but all in all i am still a share holder and will be until hell freezes over.
Im being just as patient as you guys and maybe things WILL change in the near future for this but maybe they wont and thats where i stand. Im here until i sell.

For those that do not believe that TW Houston is dropping QTN, calls have been made and verification as well. Several have spoke with Greg Calvert, the man who sent out the letter.
He can be reached at 713-462-1900 hit 0 for operator ask for Greg Calvert.
Another good try by some people here to dismiss it, but again you just look silly when you try to attack people of good character on this board.
Thanks again to the QBID/QTN SUPPORTER thundermeadow for the info below. I called as well.
Clayton,
Greg called me back just now. He did confirm that TW Houston is dropping QTN. He said he had worked very hard to get them on the air and it has caused problems that deadlines would be put out and broken. He did not give any subscriber numbers but said that there had not been a good response. He stated he believes it was the business model primarily, that was the problem. He also said that he thought QTN did a good job presenting a cross-section of programming. If QTN becomes more stable, he said he would go to bat for them to return.

Thanks for the update, hagatha. This guy "lobogotti" seems to think we should believe everything posted on message boards (or maybe just what he posts ).
As I remember, those who questioned his post simply asked for some "proof" that his comments were true and accurate. Pretty sensible, I think.
He is now providing a source that we may use to verify his info. I found this comment especially irritating:
"Another good try by some people here to dismiss it, but again you just look silly when you try to attack people of good character on this board."
Good character? Says whom? I've never met lobogotti ... and I sure as hell will not believe someone because he claims to be of good character. The most notorious con-men in history (incuding serial killer Ted Bundy) were successful only because people believed them without proof.
Sorry for insulting you, lobo, but an honest person would understand our reluctance to believe undocumented and unproven information.
Two of the ten biggest lies in the world are: "Trust me, buy this stock and get rich." And another is: "Trust me, sell this stock before you lose it all."
Wish I could remember the other eight lies ... but that's another subject for a different thread. Posts: 2152 | From: Ohio | Registered: Sep 2004

Lol... What credible source what post such a letter on april 1st { none }
That letter did not sound proffesional enough to me .
Had a touch of bashin in it and a smidge of bull.
I have a few million shares and am not worried AT ALL .I will let QBID work on solving their problems and be a good little share holder and wait .
Some people are giving information { good or bad } yet others are clearly bashers "kicking" QBID while it is down . No one is really talking about the powerful positives of the company .

nice post intimatrader. i agree. i really dont see why the VP of marketing would comment on Q's business model, when he probably isnt a business model expert. also the fact that he was recommending other channels over Q is suspicious. but even if it's true, Texas isn't really known for their open mindedness or acceptance of gay culture. the co. needs to focus on the US coasts and then worry about the middle

This new owner can do whatever he wants, look at frank olsen, off into the sunset with millions of dollars from vacating shares, or diluting the shares by more than 99%. All Mr Olsen has to do now is buy a jar of black hair dye and drop 50 pounds, you cant touch him or his fifty step children.

the new owner cannot do whatever he wants. CEOs have a fiduciary duty of care and loyalty to the shareholders, and if evidence of fraud comes out he will be liable. frank may be liable as well on a personal level if there was fraud.
the CEO can't just say "ok, we're private" and that's the end. shareholders still need to be compensated. plus, actions like that will do even more damage to the already tarnished name Q has.
all you're doing is spreading lies kihls. be careful or you may be liable yourself!

kilhs I know arguing is a waste of our time, but here goes nothing ...
1) What "new owner"? Mr. Fan is the new CEO, not the "new owner" of the company. I am sure he owns a ton of shares and therefore is an "owner" but only one of many, since most of us also are "owners" because we own shares.
2) To be able to "do whatever he wants", Mr. Fan will first have to be sole owner of QBID shares. He can do many things as "majority shareowner" but not "whatever he wants."
3) After your previous comments about selling all your shares for $2 and having to write a check for the rest of the commission, I have to assume you are yanking our chain about this too ... and I applaud your attempt at humor. I laugh everytime I picture you writing that check. Posts: 2152 | From: Ohio | Registered: Sep 2004

When you and I fall hard, we suffer pain. Just the same, when QTN/TMM fell, they suffered business ramifications. This was expected, and maybe Houston and PlanetOut just may prove it. But after falling down, don’t we all try to get back up?
Yes, Olsen fk’d things up and fk’d them up real good, but lets see what Fan is capable of doing first. Hopefully he’ll have what it takes to get QTN/TMM up and “running” again.

I'm relatively new to Q- bought 20 million shares a few weeks ago. Not too worried about loosing anything- you don't mess around with prices like these if you are not prepared to loose everything.
I was wondering though- I got burnt on Irwin Energy's (IWNE) reverse split a few weeks ago. Could something like this happen with Q once it starts moving again? I know anything is possible just wondering how possible it is with the price so low...yeah people could make a bundle, but not if they reverse-split it.
I'm still relatively new to this- so please forgive my naivety.
I'm staying possitive though- I think the network should pick up popular, more main-stream shows- might help them out a bit.

All im saying is this. I dont know much about this company and all the DD i have done basically have turned up a bunch of scams and BS. Im more interested in getting my 3k back out and taking it somewhere else. It sucks that you cant put in a sell order and expect it to sell within 24hrs atleast...Its been WEEKS. Whether its a poor company or not, the stock isnt going anywhere. Not now and not anytime soon. All im saying is,,,,, for heaven sake, i just want my MONEY back
-------------------------------------------------- Yes, we know that it has been weeks............
For heaven's sake, why do you continue to whine and whine to the posters on this thread?

im still looking at q. i still have 70 million shares. i sold off half of my portion because nothin was moving. i really hope something moves the stock up in the next couple months. i was stuck in a qbid dream for about 6 months. it was unhealthy . at the same time it kinda gave me a hobby. (an expensive hobby) nevertheless, i appreciate all the posters who still give an insightful view of things. i check the boards about 2 times a week. but it gets hard to read information about a company that has struggled so much . if q starts to move again , i will be more than happy to do some snooping and see whats new within the studios. i kinda miss my hobby hope everyone is doing well . god bless us unfortunate qbid investors.. but u know what they say. when u lose something like this , it just means that a return of 10 times is coming around the corner.i hope any return comes to us and im sure all of us will be more than appreciative ... its kinda like we are holding a dirty scratcher from 7 eleven and hoping that we could atleast get our ticket back .

Ok folks. You can believe what you want to believe. I am merely sharing information which I believe to be credible. If you would prefer I don't share, then I won't in the future.
And as for "bashing", give me a break. This company has bashed itself into the ground. It needs noone else to do that job. And I am certainly not a basher. I hold over 6M shares of this crap. I would love nothing more than to see it run so I can take my investment and be rid of the drama.
But I am also a realist. I want information, good or bad. Unfortunately, the information coming out about this company is mostly bad. But it's self inflicted.

For what its worth, I think your info is as valid as anyone else’s until proven otherwise regardless of whether it came out on April 1st. I for one believe it because Frankie the Fraudster ef'ed everything up as we well know.
I don’t personally know this lobo guy from IHUB but I think he is the same guy - if I recall correctly went to the Q studios along with Imak and Doctoall, DJ and other Allstock posters during an the open house last year... his info was as acurate then as it is now. Take it as you will. However, at that time everyone (pumpers, esp) believed his posts because they were positive - now some here do not believe this because this info is negative. IMO ALL info positive or negative is subject scrutiny until prove otherwise. I hope this is not true, because Q cannot afford to lose any markets – but hec last fall no one wanted to believe the Frankie was fraudster and scamming investors, no one wanted to believe the QBID was being diluted, no one wanted to believe that Frankie was going increase A/S over 200B, no one wanted to believe that Frankie WAS NOT a good business man and yet here were sit with 350B A/S and no BID, a skeleton crew and lawsuits out the caboose… Anyhow, those are my thoughts. Now for the positive spin – I sure as hell hope that Lloyd can turn this mess around.

Thanks in advance
