Ct Here... I have a "bat phone". Seriously though.. did you not read his PR.. that is right a PR, that said there was no economic reason for the performance of the pps? In that, he said the day traders are a large part of the problem. Where do most day traders dwell? Yes, these message boards. I hate day traders. And I am certain that he does not like them either. Come to think of it.. on one of the hotlines he said as much. So quite nitpicking every god damn thing. Have a good night.
Amen to that! Why would Frank share all of that with anyone over the phone. He knows it would end up on these boards and he hates the boards.
dkgross... there are many "pinky's" over, or near, a dollar. eom
Comcast would sure be nice, to say the least. Oh, and by the way, Pumperconfessions... did you read the terms of service for the board yet?
Jarvis, please to be explaining what Market Cap means. eom
This is why I don't like reading anything from you CIA... you are SO UP AND DOWN FROM DAY TO DAY. One day it is "OK, we need to relax" and the next it is "this is really sad" or "this is robbery" or "I'm bleeding over here".
Dam man, you must know that penny stocks are up and down. You are not a dumb person. Why do you wear your emotions on your sleeve and put them out here for others to see? Be even-handed and objective. That is constructive and I enjoy reading from even-handed individuals. You call me a hater.. that made me laugh. I am an eternal optimist who finds good in almost everything... you know nothing about me.
Someone once told me never to write an email in haste. Maybe you might type out your message, take a moment to read it... and then decide "should I really put this out there?" New investors are going to come on board, and you may scare some of them.
Once again... what does the P/E tell you about the company???? Not much. It simply tells you what people are willing to pay right now. It doesn't mean it is a "good buy" or a "bad buy".
Do you see a company trading at a P/E of 50 as being better than one that trades at 15? Do you base your investment decision on what other people do? I hope not if you intend to buy low/sell high. I still say that the PEG ratio is a better indicator.
To determine if a company is under or over valued, that company's P/E must be compared to its peer group as well as the overall market.
With all of that said, there are currently NO earnings for this company, and no way to predict future earnings. As I stated earlier, after this thing is up and running for at least 6 months you can start to talk fundamentals. For now, this is being driven on speculation. Period.
All these calls... are they all from different people, or are there investors from these boards calling over and over. If that is the case, you are going to skew the number and illegitimize the figures.
If they have truly received that many INDIVIDUAL calls, I'd be happy, but I did read somewhere that someone on one of these boards made multiple calls to TW.
If the only demand is being artificially generated... that is setting people up for a fall. Be real here and just call once in a while. I called my satellite provide (Dish) yesterday, and before that a couple of months ago.
People that simply rely on the P/E are foolish. That is just a sucker statistic. There are better formulas out there. Like the PEG ratio.
What is your background anyway CIA? You speak as though you are a professional, by throwing out popular terms, but I find it to be quite hollow.
There are so many variables that can be analyzed. Until this thing is up and running for at least 6 months, we won't have a handle on the fundamentals. Until that happens, the pps will move on speculation.
Please don't over-analyze the website update. There is nothing negative in this. I interpret it as a mere synopsis of a few recent events. Maybe they are just trying to keep things fresh and leave the major points there for us to read.... who knows, but don't make hash out of it.
dkgross, I couldn't have said it better. eom
QTN knows what it is doing. Let them do it and stop criticizing. Do you think they want this to fail? No. So stop telling them how to advertise, where to advertise, where they should have their programs. If you want to do something positive, call your local cable provider and ask for the channel.
I have no idea how the contract(s) are structured, therefore no idea as to how much $$ they will actually see at the end of the day. It sounds like some of you do know since you are throwing $$ figures around. Care to share?
Anyone tried getting on the Q website today? I tried but it is not coming up, just an ad for a web hosting company.
How do you know they don't have any subs?
Anyone else ever just sit back and laugh at the fact that we are waiting for this stock to hit 3 cents? I track my regular mutual funds and stocks, then come over to this one and it is a whole different world. Come on baby... hit a penny!
Please do not ever put that word in any post referencing me. I am an investor like you.
"On Board" implies that they have a signed contract. We have confirmed one signed contract. Correct? Therefore, no one else is on board at this time.
EOM
I am an analyst and I know what is worth spending time on and what isn't. Picking apart a financing announcement is not worth getting your panties in a bunch. This is not impacting their Sept launch in any way. No one else is on board right now, and maybe they required more $$ before signing on.
My point is, you are going to drive yourself crazy if you tear every single word apart.
Oh for Pete's sake... you people analyze the hell out of everything. No wonder Frank gets upset. I bet you guys could divide a crumb into 100 different pieces and then complain because you couldn't get 101 pieces.
This board is getting a little snippy lately. I usually find it to be more mature than most of the others. Can people stop fighting with each other in the public forum? Leave that to private messaging.
Skunksyard, I like reading your posts. Seems like you are an enthusiastic investor. I like that.
Sorry ct here... i don't sit in front of a computer all day reading message boards. If it came up earlier, it came up earlier. Big deal. If you really just had to point that out, you have too much time on your hands. And if you are too lazy to type in two words into google, then you have issues. I gave the two words because there were SO MANY LINKS TO THAT INFORMATION. I was not referencing just one article, but rather talking about the ENTIRE scandal.
If you want your blood pressure to go up... put "Dateline stockgate" into google and search for it. That story on market makers and the corruption surrounding their tactics is just disgusting. It's no wonder the economy is hurting. We are devouring our own companies.
I got a reply to my email today and so did a few others. I just wrote in to say keep up the good work, but they wrote back and said thanks. They also said they are working really hard. Why be so pessimistic to think that the emails are not real? Why not write a few of your own. I have written 4 and received one reply. I never asked for replies, and didn't ask questions, just made comments on their company and told them I am in it for the long haul.
For anyone interested in seeing how a stock climbs for no real reason, please see NTLI. That thing was the biggest gain for the year of 2003. It went from near $7 to $70 in 2003. It's market cap was astronomical at that price if you compare it to what it was at $7. Now it is back in the $50's, but it's still high.
Why can't QBID do the same thing (though not in that range... more like the jump to a quarter or something)? Sumner Redstone called a gay channel a billion dollar company.
No offense at all intended, but I had a friend who worked for Goldman and they aren't the brightest bulbs over there.
Now, you say that the company is not worth $70 million. Do you know what assets they have? Are you privvy to that?
I'd like to know if you are talking market cap when you refer to value of the company. If so, market cap does not reflect "what a company is worth"... rather it is a reflection of it's size within the market as a whole. That is why they have different levels to classify companies. See the Motley Fool's explanation for more information.
Any value investor can see the potential in QBID. The operating costs will likely be dwarfed by their cash flow. I just don't see how on earth this thing can't become profitable early on in it's existence.
I'd enjoy hearing more about your theories regarding their long-term status as a "low penny stock". Are you saying that it is impossible for the company to reach levels about the pennies? I hope not, because neither you nor I can say anything for certain at this stage. I hope you will allow me to believe in my opinions, as I have not bashed yours.
I don't see any need to pressure the company to disclose financials at this time. What is the point? All we will see is what debt they have incurred to get this thing off the ground. That won't help much. After subscription revenue begins to come in ... let's say after the first quarter, then I'd like to see some financials. I believe they want to get off the pinks... who wouldn't? So, ultimately they will want to file their financials with the SEC.
Okay, patience to all... haha
Oh and institutional investors have a built in pessimism toward penny stocks. They don't touch them and historically bad mouth them. I believe it is because they can't take the risk of losing money, and thus losing clients. For those brokerage houses, it is all about making their clients money and keeping the portfolios stable. Now a hedge fund investor ... maybe I'd listen more to their ideas about QBID.
Let's hope your theory is wrong. Are you telling me that based on two of your friends who work in the industry, you are going to generalize about the future of a stock?
The most brilliant man alive with regard to stocks (Buffett) has long believed that you buy a company that is undervalued. This company is obviously undervalued based on the market and size of the population.
Large institutional investors will not touch this until it proves itself, you might be right there. But, they are often times investing money that is not theirs and just won't risk it. That doesn't mean that those guys can't buy it on their own though.
anyway, just my rebuttal. I could be wrong...
