NO you're a moron...a low paid one at that.eom
skunks, I couldn't agree more. This is the only holding I have from before the bubble burst and when no one else wanted it Frank was always in the background moving this forward. You can buy plenty at .0001-2, and I for one am glad I did.
Aloha
skunks...I can't breathe!...LOL eom
Nighty Night Dr! eom
unstoppable...getting worried? EOM
skunks, I've told you what business I'm in and I get the same kind of "toe testing the pool temp" treatment from the big boys and then I get a record breaking contract when I produce.
This is the tip of the iceberg...
Aloha
That much is true...you probably saw the latest Aussie story.
I grew up in that region so the sharks consider me local-ie: LO-CAL LOL eom
Aloha
DK-MMMMMM I just live vicariously these days.
The reason I was in transit so long was my plane landed in Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Kwajalien and Majuro. All good reef breaks visible. AND NO ONE ON THEM....
Aloha
For those of you not in the know these are islands in Micronesia and the Marshalls.
That's a pretty nice prediction...eom
dk...I heard the other day that one of my bud's wiped out on a 40 foot wave there last week. Busted up but OK...I will check on him in the next day or two.
Wish I was younger...
Aloha
shue thanks...
First time I saw that and it states the time frame mentioned earlier by ct here.
Aloha
Oops I guess you are already here...eom
spockster when are you coming to Maui? I just got back this AM...I don't know the answer about Tsunami's on New Year's. LOL
Aloha
deann I don't think you got my point...I already knew yours.
Aloha
Now your seeing the light...eom
You are riduculous...ROFLMAO, I think I am going to go back out to the airport and hang out...certainly more productive and I get the same headache from it.
Have you ever wondered why you get those little SAMPLE packs of soap and such for free. TO GET YOU TO TRY THE PRODUCT TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT AND THEN SELL YOU SOME.
Aloha
eco Frank told you...
don't read the message boards because you can't believe them...
Aloha
"They are viewing a show called Q Live, they are not viewing QTN."
Gee, you think Frank would maybe put a QTN logo in the background and solve that problem...or just pass up on the free advertising? I think the idea here is to gain subscribers, don't you?
Aloha
eco did you ask Skunks? I think she watches it all the time.
fox...they seem to be really pouring on the brown coal today...but then again I have been travelling for 12 days so have missed much of it.
had to redo my post as I caught my mistake on that one...LOL
I'm really going to laugh if FO PR's another city in the next day or so, and another, and another...
Aloha
ct here
as I mentioned earlier I was on planes or in airports for 22 hours until early this morning...so I am rather brain dead at the moment.
what I have been trying to say is that just Comcast in Seattle DOUBLES the current RCN's subscriber count 411,000 plus 400,000 = 800k possible viewers. I don't find a whole lot negative about that.
Where do you come up with this statement? I haven't seen it.
"how many of the 400,000 Comcast subscribers are watching TV during the 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM time slot?"
Thanks for pointing out my mistake...hopefully I will get some sleep sometime in the near future.
Aloha
econelle...my point earlier was that now QLive can be seen by Comcast's subscribers which number 400,000 in Seattle alone. That is almost double RCN's total subscribership, so this is a BIG PLUS for future subscribership. Obviously COMCAST is not carrying the Q Network-not yet at least.
Stop the spin...
Even your post regarding whose listed in the credits is just spinning, I don't think Frank would PR someone elses show, do you?
Aloha
ct here you left out the key words...
Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington D.C. as soon as possible."
Read between the lines...
Maybe this is the first step in becoming an "unscrambled" channel. Networks have viewed the programming and it is not as racy as they were worried about.
Just a thought.
Another thought is that we just doubled RCN's total subscribers by just adding Comcast in Seattle. I don't see that as bad...
Frank has said 150 markets so I guess we have 149 PR's to go!
Aloha
THE BIG PICTURE....
Most of you don't seem to see it...
I just got off of 22 hours in transit and it looks good to me!
Kick it up a notch Frank!!!!
Aloha
END2WAR THAT'S A GOOD POST BUT THE NUMBERS DON'T ADD UP...
Let's say Frank buys back 2% = (190MIL)and reduces the OS to (9.31B)
At 9.5B his 53% was 5.03B shares.
Now at (9.31B)his 5.03B is about 54%.
So...Frank retires 1B of his own shares which leaves Frank 4.03B shares and an OS of 8.31B.
He needs to hold 51% to maintain majority.
8.31B x 51% = 4.23B
8.31B x 49% = 4.07B
This is less than 51% and is not what has just happened...
Hope that makes sense. If not read the post I replied too...
Aloha
GEE Did I call this or what...surprised we didn't get a bit of a pop from it. Oh well, I'm sure it's coming!

At 9.5B his 53% was 5.03B shares.
Now at 8.5B his 5.03B is 59%.
He needs to hold 51% to maintain majority.
So...Frank buys back 1B shares and then retires 1B of his own shares which leaves us right back at the 7.5B we had earlier this year.
7.5B x 53% = 3.97B
5.03B - 1B = 4.03B or about 54%
And since I know you are going to tell me it won't happen...

arbitrage
The simultaneous purchase and sale of substantially identical assets in order to profit from a price difference between the two assets. As a hypothetical example, if General Electric common stock trades at $45 on the New York Stock Exchange and at $44.50 on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, an investor could guarantee a profit by purchasing the stock on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and simultaneously selling the same amount of stock on the NYSE. Of course, the price difference must be sufficiently great to offset commissions. Arbitrage may be employed by using various security combinations including stock and options and convertibles and stock.
ct here
I realize that...they say in the cc that they are buying back 2% or about a billion shares. So I assume they are buying back 1 BILLION shares
SOOOOOOOOOOO what they mean is that they are buying back a percentage of the total shares authorised which in turn will come out of the OS as a larger percentage...
If they said they were buying back 10% of the OS it would come out the same...I have no idea why they didn't put it that way.
Aloha
I think I just found the problem...
For those of us who listened to the cc know that the buy back is about 1 Billion shares.
The PR reads "PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2004--Q Television Network, (Pink Sheets: QBID - News) announced today that the company will complete the 2% buyback of QBID's outstanding shares on Friday 10th of December."
It should read AUTHORISED SHARES...
JMO we will get more impact on Friday when it is finished.
The only reason I can even think why a company would announce this early is to give us the heads up we are turning the corner.
Aloha
Gee what do you think would happen if I dumped all my shares in the AM. Do you think it would go up? Probably, that's why I WON'T do it...
Aloha
I couldn't agree more DK, today I decided with the BS going on that 74.6 Mil just isn't enough and I am going for the big 100 Mil...
I hope we see levels we haven't seen since January!!! GO Q GO DOWN Q! LOL
Aloha
philo, if I had 60,000 shares I'd be hoping too!eom

We want to know who you are! Although no personal identifiable information is necessary, we do require a valid email address so that we can get in touch with you.

I think Frank did it to finally catch the bashers.
yesterday it got pretty nasty with "Frank Olsen" "Fat one" etc. posting
Some of these guys moved so fast they forgot they used their email to sign up.
Which could be further matched against RB etc.
JMO but...
