We sure do...
Since the DC move from Pennsylvania my service has gone down the hole. I used to get 2-3 days turnover and now 7-12. I'm an unhappy camper but will wait it out. I will still have my service.
Not so sure about quikflix though...
How would we pay without dilution or expensive financing

QuikFliks online DVD rental rip-off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the name of your state? California
This outrageously shady online DVD rental service subjected me to the following:
- Claimed to have out-of-print movies it does not have in order to lure in customers.
- Claimed that desirable movies are "available to ship" when it's not time to ship, and when it IS time to ship, the same movies are suddenly "unavailable" (status changes within minutes!).
- Delayed shipping of DVDs (shipping times longer than advertised) and delayed notification of receipt of DVDs returned in order to ensure that by the time customers cancel, they have passed the next billing date (company requires receipt of DVDs before they cancel account -- no grace period, as is standard with Netflix & Blockbuster -- so it's in their best interest NOT to have the DVDs in hand at the next billing date)
- Promised in wriring to issue a refund, but once they received the DVDs, blocked any requests for refunds.
Similar problems experienced by other people can be found at http://www.dvdrr.com/reviews/QwikFliks.html. If this were a company as big as Netflix, they'd have lawsuits aplenty. I plan to get my money back from my credit card company for the extra month they charged (especially since they have blocked my account and so I'm paying for something I can't even use!), but I want QuikFliks to pay somehow -- not necessarily monetarily (although that would be fine), but I can't believe that they continue to exist with such blatantly fishy practices. Do I have any viable recourse?What is the name of your state?
I marked you the other day...

Here's some info from the hackingnetflix.com site:
Inside Netflix Price Testing
Pat did some interesting research into Netflix price testing and posted the results online: "Win the Netflix Lottery." He found a wide range of offers, including:
$4.99, 1/time, 2/month
$9.99 1/time, unlimited/month
$14.99 2/time, unlimited/month
$19.99 3/time, unlimited/month
They also have a screen shot of the $5.99 plan. Netflix is testing these new price schemes around the country in different regions.
Netflix
I think their new pricing is a bait-n-switch. Probably a limited offer that you will only be able to have for a while or for a year if that much. $5.99 is way to cheap - in my area. It's just too cheap.
BAMMMMMMM
Nice find unknown
That really is him... what is going on out there... twilight zone is starting
I think I would barf if I see her promoting GZFX...
Ello Tina...
Definately having fun this morning reading tons of stuff all over iHub...
Lot's of military for GZFX... lots.
Weird...
I can't even get my E*Turd streamer up... it is so crappy in the mornings...
Hmm...
Very interesting...
I'm in Pittsburgh. Cheaper here. Very interesting how they are going about this.
Why is Chip listed as a Celebrity on that site Wick posted?

This could just be the content that they licensed already... Which is highly visible shows. I've seen a bunch of them on Comcast already.
Yup.... maybe...

What's with the name change... Now GWGOE.ob on Yahoo..
Dr...
I agree with your statements 100%...
I'm looking for the 1.50 bounce... I will likely be adding some more soon too because I honestly don't feel it will drop to the next level support and hopefully not down to the 200 support.
Definately slimed.
Still happy a bit by past performance...
Was in at $0.68 and out at $2.05. Didn't catch the ride to over $3 but I was happy about my play. Good news out of Vietman will be superb not just for the stock but for humanity IMO. I seriously hope they do this right.
Dr...
Think we'll see that? RSI is already hovering around 28-29 which is terribly low.
No way...
Pivot Point 1st Level Support is at 1.35
If if breaks that then 1.17
But it is already waaaaay oversold and correction is coming IMO.
RSI is just below 30...
Oversold at this point. It will correct soon. Hopefully it will not take $0.95 to do that. If it keeps dropping it will bounce off the $1.05 MA 200.
$1.50 is a 4-week low.
Oversold is the bottom line though... Maybe because of the PIPE roomer but hey, maybe they won't go that route.
understand... have fun and good luck
before the NTCV drop...
Or were not in earlier...
Penny
Did you get out in time
Hehe...
Jrod OT: NTCV - up 650% right now. It was called earlier when it was at 0.0003 and it tacked up to 0.0018 so far... Called on EZtradin board.
It's just sick
750%
Only crap again...
NTCV 0.0011 450%
only crap... 0.0007

Penny stock Mentality
So what type of investor trawls penny stocks?
He's willing to buy a 9¢ stock that's 9¢ because nobody else wants it.
He's willing to wake up in the morning and find his 9¢ stock now 4¢, or his 50¢ stock now 28¢ and still enjoy his breakfast profusely, because he knows he's picked a winner.
He's willing to average down from 50¢ to 9¢ and will buy heavily at 9¢ so the great majority of his stock is purchased at the cheaper level. Hey, he believes in the stock. Of course, the stock slips from 9¢ to 6¢ but that is of little consequence--he knows he's gotten in near the bottom and nobody hits the exact bottom anyway.
He loves his penny stock, but when he has a double, he sells half no matter what. And he's invariably happy in the end by his tactic.
He finds while doing his DD (due diligence) that one of his tech stocks he just bought a load of is spending more money on plane fares seeking capital from Europe, than it is developing its product, so he dumps it all immediately even though it just dropped 25%. And he figures he's ahead of the ballgame. The stock has a 5 for one reverse split and he celebrates the fact that he sold his remaining little stake at a 75% loss instead of the 95% loss that would happen just a week later.
He gets bored with his penny stocks and ignores them for a few weeks and looks at his statement one day and finds a 70¢ stock of his that had lost half its value over a period of 3 years now is over $4 a share and his hand is shaking as he calls his broker to sell. The same stock is $12 a share a few months later. Then $1 a share a couple of years later.
He buys a 2¢ stock because he knows that the shell alone of any penny stock is worth 2¢ a share for companies trying to avoid the hassle of starting a corporation from scratch. His 2¢ stock goes into a 100 to 1 reverse split.
Surprisingly, his portfolio rises slowly over time and penny stocks are still better that no stocks at all.
OT: VP...
that gun is a thing of beauty...
But, behind the gun is a quite amazing robot. How did it operate?
OT: greedfl...
Yeah, I agree. It is shameful to say the least. My family waited 9 years to get our green cards... Yes, I am an immigrant from Jamaica. I've never burned the US flag and never will. Nor do I wave the Jamaican flag while trampling on the grounds I live - the USA.
Anyone want to shun a country for nuke and terrorist should take a look at the Russian arsenals that were left unguarded for years... many of which were sold cheaply and some that just disappeared.
OT: Sans... pretty immature for you age...
Pennies are for playing... that is what I do with em... not investment... playing.
OT: Sans...
Again, feel free to make personal attacks.
And, I do pick my own fruits - from my backyard. And vegetables. Never said I mind mexicans... but I do mind illegals who work and evade taxes. I actually admire the work ethic of the Mexican ppl both despise the illegals... Crime is crime no matter how you see it.
You Sans... should run for government - you already have the person attacking in full control.
