nelliebb, I should have kept reading. I see you remember that he has financing for five years too.
Don't you people recall that Olsen said he had secured enough financing to run this company for 5 years? Am I the only one that remembers that? He is not dumping shares. He has the $$ already.
Nice analysis.
Raggs, Frank Olsen has already stated that a company like this, when it gets up and running, could be worth 4-5 billion dollars. Figure it out for yourself by dividing shares into market cap....
duh! they embrace the GLBT community. Please tell me you didn't really need me to explain that to you.

Could all of the buys be part of very LARGE order by Q or someone else? Can that be why the pps is not moving a lot?
PR's haven't seemed to do squat to the pps. All of a sudden there can be a run for no apparent reason... and it is volume of about 500 million or higher. That is when we get good pps movement. PR's don't have a good record on this stock.
Froy, from what I have gleaned from the knowledgeable folks on the boards... there has to be some large volume days in order for the price to move. Buying pressure has to be generated. I'm not sure how that will happen. It's like having two halves of a globe... the northern hemisphere is subscribers (non-investors), and the southern hemisphere is investors (maybe they subscribe, but they will probably have far fewer numbers than subs). How does an investor come to know about Q? The word has to get out to that segment.
I would tend to agree. any publicity like this is good for the channel. Their disdain for the channel is a little misguided though, as this is a Pay channel. How can they be upset about that? Then again... I probably already know that answer.
this is the first anti-Q article I have come across. It does exist though. I don't see any "movement" hurting a pay channel. As Olsen says, they want to be invited into the homes.

There is no pleasing some of you! geez!! If F.O. was in the business of just pleasing investors, then he would lose his focus on what is MOST IMPORTANT AND THAT IS THE SUBSCRIBERS. Yes, I am yelling. Without them, this goes nowhere. Now grow up, shut up and take a reality pill.
Nobody replied to my previous post, in which I asked if anyone thought that Q already had carriers lined up (close to announcing), or if they are still pursuing/woo'ing them. Not bashing, just curious. This is a long time to keep this quiet if they were "close" back in Nov/Dec.
Unless some of the Colts/Pats players plan on broadcasting Q, I could not care less about them.
Does anyone on here think they really do have more carriers lined up already? Or do you think they are still pursuing them?
I would think that by now a contract would have been announced. What can the holdup be?
I'm not bashing. It's just been a long time since we heard that they were "close".
I got 245 PM's from him. I think he is DRAMA on the Q forum. I think before that he was ClA. He was banned from that board too.
Poor guy. He has some issues. I'm sure if he met my mom he wouldn't have called her all those vulgar names.
Some people on this board act very young and immature. You can tell who the veterans are very easily.
Small Daddy is totally unreasonable. You name me one company and/or CEO who always comes through on everything they say, on time. For the most part, and I mean MOST PART, Olsen has done everything he has said he would. Maybe it wasn't on time, but he has come through.
If you don't want someone missing deadlines, then we should never ever hear from anyone. Would you like that better?
And what the hell do you think this is? Microsoft? This is a startup company! It is a pink sheet. You want them to crap diamonds from the get go? Show me one child who is able to master walking at 3 months. Q is like that infant. They have to learn to walk, then run.
what about all the people on here like foxy that cut and past BS posts from other people? Why don't you people ream him about it? I think most of you are upset at the pps and are looking for any excuse to lash out. you have no control over what happens, I don't either. However, there was news today and I was pleased with it. It was relevant and it shows that LOGO is now delayed.
I can't laugh at your references but I understand the humor. He is a large gentleman.
Like I have said before, when Frank farts people on here write three pages about it. Georgeking23 simply said we would like the news. He didn't say where he saw it. Everyone else on here jumped to conclusions about the data.
It's like that thing you used to do in grammar school... tell a story to one person and then have it passed on to the rest of the class. By the time it makes it to the last person, they have it all messed up.
JDUB, the short answer to my question should have been "no, i have no proof".
JDUB, how do you know for sure the company is selling shares? If you only are guessing, then your opinion is meaningless.
I've done the same thing. Imagine you were going to sell it all and then come back fresh. Who do you think is selling? Anyone who invests in this company knows that they are for real. When people say there is a "shake" I can't for the life of me imagine someone bailing on this stock.
froy, what is your problem with Liz Taylor? Your Elvis analogy was brilliant by the way.
sydney, they get comcast and they have the potential to get into hundreds of thousands of homes. you are correct.
Froy, with all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about. Obviously you have no clue how big of a star Liz Taylor is/was. Q is dedicated to quality programming, so I don't see this as a desperate attempt. If it's bad programming/quality, it will reflect poorly on them and they certainly don't want that.
You are correct dr. silk. She is one of THE biggest stars ever. Her following is huge. These ppv things are usually advertised for about 3-4 weeks before the event, so look for that soon I hope.
Liz Taylor news might be the biggest yet. She is always big news. You know any special like this is going to be talked about by all the tv news shows. Great move Q.
That's not going to work either because we have a show here called Good Day Sacramento.
Georgeking, you are like a drug for this board. We are having the shakes right now. Need some news! haha
They seem to be committed to quality programming. Not just a bunch of crap thrown together without a lot of thought. That should serve them well in the long run.
I just posted this on CBS. Just informational.
Couple of links I came across after surfing about 20 minutes. For anyone that thinks Q is not getting the word out..... 1/6/2005 9:59:30 PM

Duke of Earl, that was the best post I've read all day. eom
How can you say RCN = nothing? I'll have to assume you are just frustrated. RCN is putting this network into homes in major cities around the country. You call that nothing? Things aren't happening overnight, that is clear, but to diminish that accomplishment is very shortsighted.
There are people here that can see the channel. are you paying for it yet?
I agree Mother Skunker.
Don't forget... this is A MAJOR NEWSPAPER. This ad will expose Q to more people in a day or so than have known about it over the entire last 12 months. That is a huge step. It's a great step to generate interest from potential subs. Not sure it will have an impact on investors. How many times do you see an ad and say "i'm going to invest in that"?
You must remember that everyone has their own timeline. Some got in years ago and they have gone through ups and downs many more times than others. It's almost like you have to become conditioned. People only in a few months, who may have gotten in under .003 are feeling good still. They are like I was back in Feb '04. Feeling good about things. Give them 8-9 months of going down or sideways and see how they feel then. By that time, new blood will come in and they will sing the tune of "i love how these messages go". It all needs to be kept in perspective.
I'm a long, and I am very frustrated at the pps. Why can't I be upset?
