Seriously Lopaka
That's a quite the list for june you just provided. You must be teasing us with all those dates, and what you think will happen on them. You know how serious we get on this board!
Coolmil, he said a very dynamic situation
In canada they tax you on half your investing gains. But I hear there is a work around. As far as Lopaka's 9th, I don't think it referred to downloads. In his post he was talking about a jv. If he said the 9th, it's because someone else told him that date, and from what we've seen before, deadlines and time frames are extremely flexible. We also though possible downloads this week, and now it's being pushed back. But come on guys, like we're not used to it? Lopaka, come back to the board, we miss you already
good call Germboy
That Whatheheck is out to lunch. In fact, even your' estimates are a little lack luster.
Add a zero to those numbers Germy ol' boy. Unless my sources are wrong, which they tend to be,with respect to the speed that BLLN moves in, we'll be buying at 3-5 bucks, and selling for much higher in late fall. IMO

Nice one Avdi
very well said. I think it helps the couple of jumpy ones we have on this board. It's cool you bought the original blln (then avdi) because of the bottle cap gizmo etc. I still hope that works out for you. I like todays trading, and hope it stays this way right up until we take off.
I hope we get a surprise today
"otherwise heads are gonna roll" according to Giovanni. I hope Lopaka found a good hiding place. I think everyone here read the news about Brooklyn_man "mysteriously disappeared off the face of the earth"
no worries Shot
now get back to work, someone may be peering over your' cubicle.
Shotcaller's been eating KFC all weekend.
He seems to have a KFC hang over.
I never saw the new one
that's tomorrow Lopaka!!
Bigger than we all imagined? Wow, that's exactly what Shot and I said to Avdi when we first got intimate.
that's what he said Coolmil.
And there could be other news, of which I don't know what. Should be a good week.
cool man, thanks for the update
anyone notice emi has not put the qtrax news release on their site yet, but they have the spiral frog news. My guess is it may be Qtrax and AK team still keeping things under wraps. The spiral frog news went up pretty fast, I don't see why the Qtrax news wouldn't either. Any thoughts?
good question Avdi
Maybe since tvt was the first label, and an Indy at that, everyone around the world can download it. It's probably the bigger labels that will need official international licensing deals. As shot and others mentioned, ypu can imagine there will be some complexity when it comes to the advertising. They must have a team of multi language pr people to handle the different countries. Great post TC, welcome back. You 've been talking about Nokia for a long time. Is this something you are currently hearing, or still based on what you heard a long time ago. Thanks for the input
fare enough Go-Q
but if you are going to open up a discussion, then be up for it. I simply said that your' estimate of 2 million songs for UMG needed explanation , and that 4 years for uploading 25 million songs seems a little long. I'm trying to work with you , not against you. We've just learnt about the p2p issue, and you seem to think it is effecting the investing community. I asked in earnest, is it that important to the investing community? I appreciate you seem to know more than everyone on this board , and that's why I don't take it with grain of salt when you post. Sorry for falling into my whining and complaining mode, but don't take it the wrong way buddy. Someone's got to play the devils advocate, and we are mostly here to help each other get the facts straight. Thanks for taking a stab at it, and let's keep doing the same
we get chiseled enough
I know it's all coming together, and I'm o.k with the PPS (hold it here for 2 weeks would be great) . But the disappointments pile up. So let's not add to it by guessing conservative libraries. If Universal is the biggest of the labels, your' guess at 2 millions songs, brings our whole Qtrax catalog down to 7 mil including all the labels. I'm guessing that's our next surprise. 25 million songs advertised may very well be a hoax. Or an enticer if you will. All I'm saying is stick to facts. We get enough failed promises from Qtrax , so may as well not add to it with anything false. If indeed we are getting chiseled, then let it be a fact.
PS. what makes you thing the investment community is disappointed that Qtrax is not p2p but server based for now?
it's true
last time we had an end of day drop like that, someone guessed margin call. The next day it picked up again. If we are going the server route for now,
then that's what we are dealing with. I don't now why you feel you had to come up with something quantitative. I guess you were trying to make a point about what to expect at first and why. And where does the 2 mil songs for umg come from? What happened to a library the size of itunes?
I don't get you.
From the sounds of it, Qtrax is going the server route for now. But what were you talking about?
UMG, 2 million songs? (Go_Q)
I thought it was closer to 5-7 million. Or is the 2 m their' digital library? That being the case, how is Qtrax going to amass 25 mil songs. ? 133 days to upload 2 million songs? That's 4 months. Are we to assume they started uploading months before they announced the deal? At the suggested rate, it could take over 3 years to upload 25 million songs. I hope someone has some better stats on this. Let's not forget , a lot of us are investors here first, end users second. We'll be in an uproar when the market starts to react to the news. If we start to see downloads, and the market still doesn't react, don;t expect people here to be too excited.
I don't think the p2p issue is bringing the PPS down.
Otherwise we would have crashed. Lopaka and his kids are keeping this one down. Once the downloads start the investing community will have no more excuses as to whether Qtrax can deliver or not.
why all the fuss about p2p?
It seems to me those journalists love to harp on any little negative thing. Question for Ddban, would you strip the drm from your' downloads so you could put them on an ipod, or is that one step too many?
Shot could you elaborate
sorry for my ignorance
what was plan B?
what I like is AK's comment about the launch at 52 seconds. (which no one has commented on)
I'm liking it.
I forget that some of you longs have been averaging down. And you guys are the ones with the most patience, and understanding of what is going on, and not complaining about the PPS
Morechocolate I'm hearing the same thing from everybody. There's a real struggle of interest going on. F'U jobs is what we're shouting on this board. Lopaka, no clue what you meant in the last message.
who's DD, yours' or his?
I wouldn't worry about the typos
but if your' gonna, it's "their' " ipod. There's not much room for day traders around here. If he's lucky dad will tip him off seconds before this takes off. But I think Dad will teach skeptical young grasshopper a lesson. Besides , he said so himself, he may take a position when ad revenues prove up. Sp will be much higher, but day traders have no clue when it comes to buy and hold.
It's hard to consume less beer
when Dad keeps stocking up the fridge. But it's a good way to bribe them away from apple products that's for sure. And Shot, that massage while downloading may not be so far in the future. According to Avdi's source, Qtraxxx for men is already in the works.
I'm with Avdi
we're at my place and we're cuddling.
incredible options?
What do you mean? According to Lopaka, teenagers and young adults today have gotten incredibly lazy. I'm not even sure the main demographic for free music is kids. Qtrax had a car ad, so you know they are thinking adults as well. Strip the drm and the songs are ipod compatible. The older generation can handle that. Lopaka's kids on the other hand....
the short position is tiny
but it's not uncommon for for a stock to head south on good news. I just wish we all had lots of cash to take advantage of it.
Lurking means hanging around in the shadows
and Shot, you are not allowed to be logical. get back to goofing off (lol)
By the way, what do you , you mentioned an office? (I am guessing surveys)
I think we'll hit a new low soon.
The lowest we've been in the past 5 months is .035. I'm sure the MM's will bring it down to .033 in the next few days.
I'm into the new stuff as well as the classics
no need to start swearing for sh@t's sake. The older generation have no patience for the youth of today, that's probably why they send them to this board directly.
nice, the classics
Avdi, Lopaka and the few other golden agers on the board are going to love it.
not bored
and I agree, that wad who wrote the wired article was still focusing on bogus elements. "Not the p2p dream Ak promised" what an idiot.
we had 90,000 online users
not that it really means anything. But where do you get these possible 20 million an hour figures from? You have some statistic forecast ? Curious.
spill it out Lopaka, who does Job's respect?
Any guess's on tomorrows' pps. I'm guessing a swift yet short lived run to.042, then the usual slow decline until the next good news.
interesting the news came out just after 4
but there was no sign of insider movement on the pps like when they knew about Universal. I guess Universal was a bigger deal.
not concerned
they have a little over 1 million tracks, not ipod compatible, and not mac compatible
Re:and not do anything throughout this month
are you suggesting we lamp around, or you meant not do anything with our shares?
hindsight!
I just don't have that much cash in general, so the intention here is to be able to accumulate more by selling higher, and buying more lower. If I had a bunch of cash I wouldn't care either that we will prolly drift to .035. I would probably be happy like some of you campers. One day we'll get ours. In the mean time my other stock is up 35% today.
anything over the current price is fair to me.
I just wish I had sold more when I had the chance. Go-Q said sellers would be sorry to be selling at .048, but in reality, I am sorry I didn't sell more. No offense.
