Can only mean things are happening behind the scenes here. $25,000,001 to $100,000,000 in revenue is a nice clue.
Bid quietly building here now 3 at .035 - interesting.
Still waiting for this phoenix to rise out of the ashes. Price per share was banging around $1.80 a share just 20 months ago.
Bid now .04, no sellers.
L2 perking up but bidders will have to move to .04 or .05 to get any shares imo
.44 could be in play here according to the chart...
The iBox and sticky posts have some good info. What exactly are you looking for?

Looks like the are hiring for multiple locations too!
I agree, 4 Boardmarks, doesn't get much more under the radar than that :)
Yeah, more than meets the eye here. Definitely flying under the radar. Looking forward to see how this one plays out.
Someone bought up all the cheapies, looks like that MM Paul activity from a few months ago wasn't coincidence after all. Very interesting, will be watching this closely in the coming weeks. Very nice DD zen, the plot thickens and barely anyone is watching.
MDF was trading around $3 in 2000, QNGP was $6 in 2009 our CEO is not accustomed to four cent stocks!
Prior to The Quantum Group of Companies, Mr. Guillama was Founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. of West Palm Beach, Florida, (AMEX:MDF) from its inception in January 16, 1996 to February 1, 2000. Metropolitan, at the time of Mr. Guillama's departure, realized revenues of $119 million.
Prior to this, Mr. Guillama was Vice President of Development for MedPartners, Inc. (NYSE:DRX), a Birmingham, Alabama-based physician practice management company with revenues of over $5 billion at the time of his departure.
Always a good sign when an institutional MM raises their bid!
MM PAUL on bid at .015 and ask at .15 now
From the US Health Care Industry Update 2011:
By the end of 2012, over 72 million baby boomers will begin their retirement and join Medicare. The increase in healthcare expenditures is guaranteed and baby boomers who have been transforming the US geographically, culturally, economically and even politically since 1946 are about to hit the most inefficient industry in the US head on. The additional news is that the federal government has begun to accept applications for registration of EHR systems.
This is a long and documentation-intensive process. Few EHR systems have been approved, and very few providers have the systems in place to make it all work today. According to current rules, to qualify for reimbursement in 2011, all EHR systems must be in place for certification no later than September 30, 2011. We believe that as reported in the Palm Beach Post (“Government is nudging doctors and hospitals to make healthcare digital“), providers are only now beginning to do the research and get on “with the program.”

On their last form D under #5 Issuer Size: for Revenue Range they put $25,000,001 to $100,000,000. So QNGP has revenue of over 25 million dollars, very interesting.
109K shares bought at the ask Friday, took out the .0095's after weeks of no volume. Good sign - hope more is to come!
Very curious as to what is going on with this one, spoke to Heidi at Fidelity last week she said they are the TA for the "newly issued preferreds" and soon to be for the commons.
Any theories?
Bigger sells have been hitting, seems to be coming down. MM Paul from .05 on ask to .015 and bid support around .01 not there, does not look that good at the moment. Will be watching this story, but L2 needs to perk up if there is anything to this.
Hit below the ask again on 1,200 shares. Looks like whomever was at .015 on the ask at off, somehow 1,200 shares went off at .0050 despite their being bids at .01 and .0105, continuing to see curious trading. MM's trying to get sellers with that trade??
Third time I've seen them hit below the bid on 5,000 shares.
This one piqued my interest with the trading activity surrounding the Annual List and then add in MM PAUL to the equation, definetly feel like some things are happening behind the scenes.
Been a week since I was last digging around, but in researching a little more on Paulson Capital Corp. we know at last report (2/8/10) they owned ~9.96% of the O/S and the CEO Chester L.F. Paulson himself owns 11.66% of the O/S. Also, it caught my eye that Paulson Capital Corp. is apparently listed on the Nasdaq as PLCC. Hasn't been my experience to find Nasdaq companies with such large stakes in a Pink Sheets stock.
The volume has died off the past week or so, but it is very obvious that somebody wanted shares when they filed the annual list by the looks of those green candles. (Ignorance or intelligence?) Very interesting that PAUL is a mm here after giving the funds, good find level.
Thicker on the bid now. 2,000 shares traded at .0105, below the .0109 bid. Kind of weird.
It appears after they filed the Form 25 to delist from the Amex, there were a number of form D's which show that a few companies provided additional funding to them. The two I see from the Form D's are Empire Asset Management and Paulson Investment Company.
Also, here is the website I found for them:
http://www.quantummd.com/
This is more on their Form 25 regarding delisting:
http://www.faqs.org/sec-filings/091021/QUANTUM-GROUP-INC-FL_8-K/
Someone pointed out to me on the L2 there is an MM PAUL as well as two others @ .01. PAUL is also known as Paulson Capital Corp which at last report owns ~10% of the O/S. In addition the head of Chester L.F Paulson also owns around 11.6% of the O/S. A total of over 20% of the O/S. Certainly intriguing that they are on the bid with the buying that's been happening recently. Maybe they are accumulating a little. All that said, eventhough this is an ex-Amex stock, last reported balance sheet doesn't look that pretty. But still very curious as to why MM PAUL appears to have been accumulating and on the bid.
Noticed some trading last week or two and some accumulation on this one, seemed to coincide with the filing of annual list in the last days of October. Not by any means going to accumulate, unless I see something more to it, but just going to post a little more of what I find. May be a dead end and may mean nothing, but it appears to have a favorable share structure at least. We'll see.

How We Do It21st Century EMR solution PWeRTM (Personal Wellness electronic RecordTM) is a 21st Century EMR solution designed to bridge the gaps of communication and facilitate the exchange of patient information throughout the healthcare industry. |
What We Do
Quantum empowers the communication that is critical for the coordination of patient care and takes aim at the $700 billion inefficiency gap in the United States healthcare industry. Quantum has approximately 2,000 affiliated healthcare providers and multiple insurance company relationships under management and is guided by a mission to develop efficiencies and improve the quality of patient care.
To identify and pursue leading edge opportunities within the healthcare industry, to develop efficient and cost effective healthcare solutions, to manage our patient's treatment outcomes through a wellness concept.
The Company seeks to develop productive and cost effective and innovative healthcare solutions through the integration of products, services, technology, and partnering with healthcare professionals thus permitting the healthcare professional to effectively deliver highly personal, quality-focused healthcare services in a cost effective and profitable manner.
To facilitate objectives and provide a complete circle of services to our clients, The Quantum Group has organized three distinct, yet integrated operating divisions:
Through Renaissance Health Systems, Quantum coordinates the care of patients on behalf of the payers that have contracted with us, through the utilization of our network of independent physicians and other healthcare providers, and our own technology systems. Our model interacts with each of the three key hubs of the healthcare industry - the providers (primary care physicians / specialists / ancillary facilities), hospitals and payers. To accomplish the connectivity required for these communications, our Quantum Innovations subsidiary has developed software technology to better manage our core business. We have an enterprise platform that includes multiple applications usedby provider offices or hospitals. The platform, known as PWeRTM (Personal Wellness electronic RecordTM) is patient-centric and capable of receiving patient information from multiple sources. PWeR is hosted on a secure and reliable network that provides scalability and privacy into this HIPAA compliant platform. PWeR is a low cost, multi-application and simple to use software system written as Web-based, open architecture and is Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. The scalability of PWeR allows for centralized patient data to be accumulated at local, state, national and global levels.
The Company also provides other services and products to healthcare providers in and outside of its network. These services include medical billing and collection, purchasing, technology and insurance products. These services are designed to reduce administrative time and expense from the physician's practice and increase their revenue collection rate. All these value added services are offered by Quantum Global Professional Services.
Current healthcare spending in the United States accounts for 16% of the Nation's gross domestic product ("GDP"). This represents an average of over $7,026 for each person in the United States. Healthcare has been the only net growth sector over the last 10 years as healthcare spending has risen from 13.6% (1997) of GDP to 16% (2006) while housing, food, technology, auto and defense have remained flat as a percentage of GDP.
In its February 2008 report, CMS estimated that healthcare spending in the United States is projected to be above $2.2 trillion or approximately 16.3% of the GDP in 2007 and would grow to $4.3 trillion, or 19.5% of the GDP by 2017. In the United States, healthcare outlays have grown faster than the consumer price index. According to CMS, healthcare outlays are projected to grow at a rate of 6.7% annually between 2007 and 2017. The projected principal drivers for this growth include continued cost-increasing medical innovation, inflation, continued demand for prescription drugs and the aging baby boomer demographic.
The future of healthcare has arrived.The PWeR to transform healthcare is now in the hands of healthcare consumers, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities. PWeR is the electronic integration of the patient care process – from scheduling appointments to recording and tracking diagnoses, treatments and outcomes. Providers and facilities will experience an increase in productivity and efficiency, as well as improvements in accuracy and quality. PWeR patients are proactive participants in their own wellness; working hand in hand with their healthcare providers. |
What is PWeR?PWeR (Personal Wellness electronic Record) is a state of the art, Web-based, secure technology platform that centralizes patient data from multiple sources to one location, allowing connectivity between the patient and authorized physicians, hospitals, clinics and related professionals. This one patient, one record™ HIPAA compliant solution is designed to have medical records follow the patient, giving healthcare providers a 360 degree view of a patient’s record. PWeR propels healthcare technology to unprecedented heights using proven technology and business practices to follow the entire healthcare delivery process. That’s PWeR – complexity meets simplicity. |
