FYI: QBID out-posting Niz's Billionaire board on RB by 4:1 on Saturday and 5:1 on Sunday.
I understand that the Subway contract for a PRO PUMP is also in place. They're apparently in STEALTH MODE though, doing email and fax blasts as no obvious PRs have hit the wires yet.
Someone did post a copy of a pump site's email blast stating "..$0.05 short term..". Should be an interesting day (later today), even if one was only going to watch.

Call the Transfer Agent listed in Company Info at Pinks.com, they should be able to tell you what's up.

O/T: Sorry. I never had any NSDM stock.
Somebody like 'shac' mentioned it, so I started the Board on it. Boardz are my t-h-a-n-g.
John
Now, that's not quite the case here.
I'm presuming you're holding a Form-144 Cert. The restriction (..should be stamped in red on your cert..) should tell you when the restricted period ends. At that junture they become Free Trading shares that you can sell at whatever the market price will bear.
I saw CMKM mentioned/pumped/whatever somewhere else, which is why I started the Board. Could be it's overdue for either some success or some promotion scheme.
You might want to send the Cert to your penny broker, so when it becomes unrestricted - you could trade it if you so choose.
John
Here's a heads up from some rather suspicious yayhoo on RB:
"...cmkm's family memeber holding big time. is cmkm control by family gang ? why all of the group family member holding 51% of total shares. is it sign of cmkm r/s?
family gang look below uc's family member manupulation:
Casavant Family includes: Albert Casavant (3,000,000); Brandy Casavant (2,000,000); Brad Casavant (500,000); Chantelle Casavant (2,000,000); Craig Casavant (2,000,000); Dale Casavant (50,000,000);Denise Casavant (30,000,000); Felix & Marlene Casavant (1,000,000); Gerry & Betty Casavant (300,000); Harvey & Gloria Casavant (1,000,000); Justin Casavant (2,000,000); Kyle Casavant (500,000); Marina Casavant (500,000); Max Casavant (10,000,000); Ray Casavant (3,000,000); Ron Casavant (30,000,000); Ryan Casavant (500,000); Trevor Casavant (2,000,000); and Vic Casavant (30,000,000)..."
Something to look out for or check into as part of one's DD.
Sounds a little bit like DNAP; ha ha ha ha ha ha..........

You probably got it as a spin-off or dividend from something else.
I've got some shares in my account that were a dividend from something, but they have never been registered as a new public enetity - so they just sit there.
You have to go to Pinksheets.com for a quote:

UN team pledges 'everything' to help break Iraq election impasse
The Associated Press The Associated Press Monday, February 9, 2004
BAGHDAD The United Nations will do "everything possible" to help Iraq regain its sovereignty, the head of a UN team said after meeting Sunday with Iraqi leaders to discuss the feasibility of holding early legislative elections.
.
The UN envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, and his team held talks for about two hours with members of the U.S.-installed Governing Council on the second day of a mission to break the impasse between the United States and the country's influential Shiite Muslim clergy on the blueprint for transferring sovereignty to the Iraqis.
.
"The UN can only emphasize its wish to do everything possible to help the Iraqi people with all their sects and components to come out from their long plight and to help them regain independence and sovereignty," said Brahimi, who is special adviser on Iraq to the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan.
.
"We are here to see what kind of mechanism the Iraqis feel is more appropriate to their country," the team's spokesman, Ahmed Fawzi, said.
.
The United Nations withdrew its international staff from Iraq last year following two attacks on it headquarters, one a truck bombing on Aug. 19 that killed 22 people, including the UN's top envoy, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
.
The team members were expected to travel to the Shiite holy city of Najaf to meet Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the reclusive spiritual leader of the Iraq's 15 million Shiites, whose demand for early elections threatens to torpedo U.S. plans for transferring power to Iraqis by July 1.
.
Sistani is opposed to the U.S. plan to appoint the legislature through 18 regional caucuses. The legislature will choose a new sovereign government that is scheduled take office by July 1.
.
Also Sunday, insurgents attacked U.S. Army convoys in three areas, killing one soldier and wounding three others, witnesses and the U.S. command said. On Saturday, a bomb planted inside a police station in Suwayrah, a town 50 kilometers, or 30 miles, south of Baghdad, killed three Iraqi policemen and wounded 11 others, officials said.
.
Elsewhere on Sunday, about 90 Japanese soldiers arrived in Samawah, a southeastern town, on a humanitarian mission marking Japan's first military deployment to a combat zone since 1945.
.
In the southern city of Basra, Prince Charles made a surprise visit to British troops amid tight security. The prince is the first member of the British royal family to visit the country since the ouster of Saddam Hussein......................
Another new board: http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=2287
Works for me. People might recall that jcradio and I started the GAAY & QBID boards - back when.
I'd just like to drop kick Frank Olsen off of "..dead freakin' center.." for a change; a consensus I believe....

Purchase Point Media Corp.: News Release
(Source: Business Wire)
12/16/03 09:05
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec 16, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Purchase Point Media Corp., (PINK SHEETS:PPMC) (PPMC) Since our last news release, PPMC has developed strategic alliances with three companies. These companies have over 8,000 employees that service the retail and packaged foods industry. They have the ability to quickly sign up all of the major chain stores in North America, install The last word(TM) on shopping carts, change the ad inserts and sell all of the advertising.
These alliances add significantly to the value of PPMC's program. PPMC has contracted with one of these companies on a nonexclusive basis and will contract with the others as needed. The logic behind this outsource method of management is to accelerate PPMC's growth potential.
The first company is National Retail Marketing Networks, which has two divisions, one that distributes products to retail stores and one that sells advertising to the packaged foods industry. NRMN is confident that they can sign up over 10,000 grocery stores in the first three months as well as place all of the advertising. PPMC has signed a non-exclusive contract with NRMN and they have already begun the store sign up process with a number of grocery chains.
Additionally, NRMN introduced PPMC to a company that has a number of divisions that service the retail and packaged foods industry. In addition to having a 450,000-square-foot warehouse, they have over 6,500 people in the field that service both the retail and packaged goods industry. PPMC has received a proposal from this company to install The last Word(TM) and change the ad inserts. Their proposal came in 25% under PPMC's budget.
Another company that NRMN introduced to PPMC has over 1,600 people in the field that also service the retail and packaged goods industry. This company is currently working on a proposal to both install The last Word(TM) and change the ad inserts.
All of the individuals that PPMC has talked to within these companies quickly realized the importance of The last Word(TM) and how it can rapidly boost sales for both the chain stores and advertisers that utilize The last Word(TM).

Smart Chip Technologies Licenses Patent to Smart Card Innovator TranStar Systems
LAS VEGAS & LOS ANGELES & PARIS, Nov 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Smart Chip Technologies (OTC:SCTN) is pleased to announce that TranStar Systems has licensed the SCTN business process patent, "Method and System for Allocating and Redeeming Incentive Credits between a Portable Device and a Base Device," with 36 claims relevant to its own smart card loyalty system.
TranStar has smart chip-based stored value, gift, and loyalty card systems installed in retailers and restaurants including Little Caesars and Subway, and was recently featured in the American Banker Online article "For Eateries, a side order of (Silicon) Chips."(http://216.131.121.27/abarticle.pdf) SCTN will receive initial and usage-based royalties per the licensing agreement.
"As early adopters of advanced card technologies and the SCTN patent, TranStar customers will continue to enjoy the benefits of real-time loyalty in the only licensed U.S. implementation of consumer incentives stored on a smart chip," stated SCTN Area Vice President Geoff Thomas. "This establishes a strong competitive lead for TranStar in the emerging global market."
"We are excited about leveraging the strength of SCTN's patent to expand our market share into Mexico, Canada, and beyond," explained Mike Radlovic, TranStar CEO and featured speaker at the Cartes and IT Security 2003 international smart card conference held in Paris, France November 18-20. (http://www.cartes.com)
Little Caesars New York City and Washington D.C. franchisee and TranStar customer Paul Hoffman added, "Smart Chip Technologies is a welcomed addition to our Coca-Cola (NYSE-KO) sponsored smart card rollout. The smart stored value and loyalty cards represent a more cost effective way to process transactions and boost my repeat business as patrons return more frequently to earn and redeem their bonus credits."
Jerome Svigals, internationally recognized authority on Smart Cards, banking technology, and TranStar Director confirmed that smart card-based loyalty is a significant market driver in his Lafferty Publications book "Smart Cards 2010": "Payment transactions using loyalty-incentivized, smart chip devices will grow at an annual rate of 75% over the next five years, to over $1.4 trillion. The revenues from loyalty transaction processing, including servicing and licensing, will exceed $8 billion by 2010, growing from a current nominal base." Mr. Svigals has since revised his 2010 projection to $2 trillion in smart payment transactions and $12 billion in smart loyalty transactions.

SHOW ME THE BEEF, and in the meantime crap-can the bogus bluster.
For now it's just another megaMOMO play, supported by pure bovine fecal matter and paid PRO PUMPERS.
Buy low, sell high, don't get caught in the big dump, and enjoy your profits.
FWIW: The "..Great 2004 QBID MegaPump & WhizBang LollaPalooza.." is on...!!!
It's my understanding that Subway has been hired to promote QBID, and they are obviously doing it in "..Stealth Mode.." currently; sending massive email and fax blasts to everyone on their subscriber mailing lists. They have yet to start the newswires el-pumpo campaign.
If, again that is "..IF.." Feahwuss Fwankie & his Corporate Clownz, Cronies & silent Confidants can concurrently pull off a launch on the 20th - as once again tactically-leaked and/or promised - so much the better.
The rest of this fluff, prehistoric Press Release or web-blurb re-posting, chatter, chortles, prognotications and pontifications are so much stable sweepings......
The rule holds true with QBID. We've had 5+ years of terminal BS with absolutely no progress. Quoting the little old lady in the postage-stamp-burger commercials, "....SHOW US THE BEEF....", because anything else is just a re-run of what's been pushed, pumped and prostituted all over the WWW before.
I'd really like to see QBID make it, but BY DOING SOMETHING, not by getting Subway and a gazillion new profileless newbies to whip it into another fruitless froth - obvious personalities excepted.
John
NRES is not a good example re: QBID.
NRES has actually owned and converted/upgraded real properties - as I recall, per their business plan over the last several years. That alone puts them in an entirely different business category from QBID, who has done absolutely "..SQUAT..".
You need to cite better examples, and the "..$0.50.." stuff would make good fodder for an Outer Limits script.
John
Yo, White,
Could you please give us a little notice before you post that prehistoric stuff from the vault, crypt - or whatever. Or, at least take it outside for a shake and an airing...!!!

There are no new Boeing B-17 tire rope swings in my neighborhood.

Hence, I question the veractity of the 'subs' successes.
John

And, everyone else came away with "..nada..". What makes you think they are doing any business at all - are you getting info that we're not...???

damage. She has been charged with a "..MisdeWeiner..".

LOL DEEBER'S WIFE STOPPED BY AIRPORT SECURITY.."Woman's chastity belt set off airport security alarm
ATHENS (AFP) — When a 40-year old British woman set off a metal detector alarm at Athens airport, bemused security staff found that it was caused by a chastity belt she was wearing, officials said Friday, confirming a press report.
"It happened a few days before Christmas. The metal detector went off and after a further check we found out she was wearing a chastity belt," airport police official Dimitris Tzouvaras told AFP, confirming a report in the daily newspaper To Vima.
"The woman was allowed to fly on to London on the pilot's responsibility," Tzouvaras added.
According to the press report, the woman told police officers her husband had forced her to put on the belt to make sure she had no extra-marital affair during a brief visit to Greece.
Tzouvaras did not comment on that report.
The latest "....L(A)UNCH...." date rumor is the 20th.
It's a crap shoot if it will be a 'go' or just another historically repetitive disappoinment.

Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc. (OTC: QBID) (the “Company” or “TMM”) was organized to create and develop a network devoted to providing both television and radio programming for the gay and lesbian community. While TMM expects much of its subscriber base will be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will be attractive to many other segments of the viewing public.
In order to attain these goals, contracts have been negotiated with a national satellite provider to distribute our programming, on a subscription basis, no later than September 5, 2001. The Triangle Multi-Media Television Network will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the Triangle Multi-Media network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
The Company’s Market
The gay and lesbian population offers one of the most attractive demographic targets in the United States. The gay and lesbian community is highly educated, has a household income over 60% higher than the average American household and tends to have a much higher level of disposable income than the national average. Additionally, this niche group is disenfranchised from American society and effectively overlooked by mass marketing mediums. Occasionally, a gay character will spring into the spotlight of the mainstream media; however, those are few and far between (one of the most recent examples being the NBC program Will & Grace which features a gay man sharing a home with a straight female). The fact major networks and cable channels are beginning to offer programming and characters based on the gay and lesbian experience provides justification for the increased acceptance of gay and lesbian programming.
The gay and lesbian community has over $514 BILLION dollars in annual disposable income – a number simply too big to ignore. And, this estimated value does not include the ancillary market—friends of gays, parents, children of gays, and more. The value of this audience is overwhelming. To quote Simmons Market Research Gay & Lesbian Market Study (1997), “respondents are well-educated, affluent, sophisticated customers who show loyalty to advertisers willing to take the risk of marketing to them. Overlooking these individuals in any effort to cultivate a new consumer could mean the difference between profit and loss and it validates the value and purchasing power of gay and lesbian consumers compared to the general population.”
Distribution & Programming
The TTN viewing audience will have to subscribe to both TTN and the satellite provider in order to receive our programming. By having a subscription requirement as part of the distribution vehicle available through both satellite and digital cable (versus analog), TTN has effectively provided a “double-lockout” situation for the general public. Additionally, there is a program lock-out function generated by the satellite provider that acts as a third level of screening for people not interested in viewing TTN. Both the programming and advertising standards for the Triangle Television Network will always adhere to the National Association of Broadcasting requirements
The Triangle Television Network’s programming schedule will include movies, sitcoms, game shows, documentaries, news, finance, news magazines, travel, cooking and much more. Films and movies will air midday and overnight with serials being aired in primetime (6-9pm PST). We will be showcasing gay and lesbian films, entertainment programs and weekly serials from around the world. Our news and news magazine programs will cover world affairs, politics, festivals, local news and events throughout the United States and many other topics; all of which may have a slightly different twist when taken from the gay and lesbian perspective.
Revenues - Advertising, Retail Sales, Monthly Residues
The Founding Sponsors Promotional Package is a one-year package that encourages major advertisers to formalize their commitment in supporting the alternative marketplace. The Founding Sponsor program allows companies to dollar cost average their advertising dollars budgeted for the gay and lesbian market. In addition to extensive commercial and sponsorship exposure time on our television and radio network, all founding sponsors will have a significant presence in the TTN Programming Guide. Additionally, our founding sponsors will receive placement and recognition on our Internet web site, all TTN sponsored events, promotions and print placement To date some big names are rumored to be signing up for the founding sponsors promotion.
Showcase Sponsors – Advertisement sold on time, not including Founding Sponsors. Programming such as movies, sitcoms, plays and religious services will be broadcast uninterrupted. Based on our programming guidelines and founding sponsor requirements, TTN will have 2,167 minutes of ad time available monthly under our Showcase Sponsor program. The following annual average rate per minute applies

Dear Mr. Katz,
You recently received a communication from Knight Trading Group, Inc. John H. Bluher Executive Vice President and their General Counsel. It was obvious from his carefully constructed "..whine..", that Knight (NITE) is unhappy with the proposed changes in SEC regulations and trading policies - especially in the MicroCap and Mini-MicroCap (pennystock) marketplace.
Please accept that we as the general low-priced stock investing public, and me personally, view any such communication from NITE as a blatant confirmation of their desire to continue their ENDLESS CHEATING, DIVISIVE TRADING PRACTICES, ILLEGAL NAKED SHORTING TO ARTIFICIALLY CONTROL & MANIPULATE SMALL EQUITY PRICES TO THEIR PROFITABLE ADVANTAGE, TRADE THEIR OWN AND SPECIAL INSIDER ACCOUNTS IN ADVANCE OF THE PUBLICS', AND AVOID ANY REGULATION THAT WOULD BRING "NITE" UNDER CONTROL.
Knight Trading Group, Inc. is constantly under investigation and being fined or reprimanded for questionable practices by the SEC and NASD. Were a poll to be taken of the investing public, NITE would probably be shut down permanently.
I personally view NITE as the investment communities equivalent to the MAFIA, who apparently have such great influence over their peers and regulators that they can lie, rape, cheat and steal with virtual impunity.
Please be clear that the general opinion, were anybody to ever ask, of those who are most often affected by NITE's deceptive practices is:
"...If NITE doesn't like it - it is a RULE or POLICY that needs to be made even more stringent and enforced with great vigor - as of the day before yesterday.."!!
Respectfully,
