Way to go, cur! No sh!t!!!(eom)
What the hell are you talking about?...
...sure doesn't seem to have much to do with QBID!
Hey great...another Steely Dan fan!!!(eom)
Simply more BS from WS!!!
Why doesn't he just PR the whole thing in Ukranian - you know, "hey, we're digging up a bit more dirt in Canada just for sh!ts so all you longs will just hang in there a bit longer and I can cash out to fund my retirement?!!!" Of course, if he stated it in Ukranian language, no one here would understand it (but then, who the hell understands what he's doing anyway?!).
Hey skunksy...
...know what day it is? (Hehehe!!!)
:)
Hey shepper...
Just wanted to publicly apologize for being so surly with my posts to you over the past few days. Simply not acceptable "message board etiquette." I wish you and all other DMXP investors well. I got out a while back; I just couldn't take the "wait-and-see" path any longer. Mea culpa.
sorta...
a little profit-taking earlier perhaps?
Yeah...when pigs fly!
What makes you say that?!(eom)
Hey skunksy...I don't thing anyone,
including orafup him/herself, could possibly translate that post! He/she is definitely off the meds this weekend! Too much nonesense!
Mike...things have been bad for a long time...
only, we investors have not been privy to the crap that's going on with NSDM. Only Walter has...total BS!
I was suckered in, as so many others have. Hope you and others are doing okay.
Help! Why did Q issue today's PR twice?
lobo...no offense meant...
but the fact that most folks desire another conference call as well as better follow-through on the recent PRs says a lot, too.
You are almost certainly correct about those who bought in at a higher-than-today's price in terms of their discontent/disappointment with the current PPS. (You can include me in that category, unfortunately...sorry!)
Final bottom line is that it doesn't really matter what "the people" think. What truly matters is what the Q is doing, not doing, and how fast they are or are not doing it.
Lobogotti...interesting survey results so far...
Progress in the last six months: 81% enough or a lot.
Moving at a steady pace: 74% yes.
YET...
Follow-thru on PRs: 78% NOT satisfied.
Time for another conference call: 80% YES.
How good do you feel about your investment: 45% NOT satisfied (while not a majority, it's still a lot of people!).
Bottom line: survey was fun, but results are ambiguous at best.
Back to the drawing board!
dk...why are you no longer a mod here?
Why the sudden change of heart?!
Hey junk...
NOTHING with Q makes any sense lately!!!
Why don't you...
just crawl back into your hole!
Walter is a total a$$-HOLE!!! He couldn't care less about any shareholders at this point. He's just pumping up his retirement fund...what a total crock of BS!!!
What the hell are you talking about???!!!
You bought some more stock to average down?!!!
Good for you! LOL! When will you and everyone realize that those eggs were rotten?!!! My my, what a tasty omelette that should be! I'll take mine with extra BS! Enjoy!
Amen, bro! (eom)
Alleged support level of 0.003...GONE!!!
Time to buy more?...
...only if you are willing to lose it all! Many companies hit new lows every day but do not necessarily present an appropriate buying opportunity. Such new lows may very well portend more ominous signs to come.
mcfly...sorry...didn't realize (or forgot)
that you are in ATL. And, yes, I do indeed own QBID stock.
mcfly...
have you seen any of Q's programming? If so, I would like to hear your opinion of it.
Hey dkgross...
Just a thought...how about setting up a survey on this board to get a sense of the percentage of posters that actually have access to Q's programming at the moment? It's easy to do, and as a moderator, you can do it at will. (I used to co-moderate another board, and we did a few surveys; it was kind of fun.)
I for one would like to see what Q has to offer, but I only have Comcast here (and no satellite/dish setup). So, I haven't seen any of the stuff that skunksyard has often discussed in the past (she has RCN in Boston and thus can see Q's programming).
I'd be willing to bet that the majority of posters here have not seen any of Q's programming; but, that's just my opinion.
What do you think?
Sorry talkingmammal...but,
we now have "Triangle Multi-Media Ltd., Inc (QBID)" and "Fireside chat (stocks)"...
a replay of "The Hatfields and the McCoys"!
Hey F_I_A_R...no need to get into a pissing match. I'm just as upset as you are with this one. I got suckered in at the higher prices, and I've got quite a ways to go to get out of this hole. But, I just don't think posting what amounts to an open message to Frank on this board does anything to solve the problem. What you asked in your post has already been asked here ad nauseum - namely, that we need to see some financials, and soon. A lot of folks invested in Q are frustrated, disappointed, and angry right now. What's the point in merely spouting off? Do you honestly think Frank reads this crap?
dkgross...isn't post #106291 just a bit over-the-top?
From Fox News:
Christian Church May Accept Gay Marriage
Friday, April 22, 2005
CLEVELAND. — The United Church of Christ, a denomination known for its progressive stand on social issues, will consider opposing resolutions on same-sex marriage at its biennial meeting in July, a church official said Friday.
"We take our democratic form of church governance seriously," said the Rev. J. Bennett Guess, spokesman for the Cleveland-based UCC. "This will ensure some heated conversation for our church when we meet in Atlanta."
This is the first time the same-sex marriage (search) issue will be debated at the church's General Synod meeting. The United Church of Christ has a membership of 1.3 million.
The General Synod considers resolutions, but it does not create policy for its nearly 6,000 congregations: UCC churches are autonomous. The UCC's meeting, involving about 3,000 people, is set for July 1-5 in Atlanta.
Guess said that if the delegates support a resolution approving same-sex marriage, it would be the first time a large Christian denomination has done so.
The Rev. John H. Thomas, the UCC's general minister and president, declined comment on the issue.
The UCC's General Synod previously has affirmed the ordination of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and holy unions for non-married couples.
Last year, the UCC caused a stir when it created a television advertising campaign that featured a gay couple, among others, being excluded from a church. CBS and NBC rejected the 30-second ads.
The Rev. Libby Tigner said the UCC's Southern California-Nevada Conference proposed the same-gender marriage resolution based on legal and religious grounds.
"We believe that all people are created equal in the eyes of God and should be treated equal by our governmental bodies," said Tigner, an associate minister in Long Beach, Calif., at First Congregational United Church of Christ.
Another faction favors affirmation of a one-man, one-woman marriage resolution.
Eight geographically diverse UCC congregations have offered a resolution calling on the church to "embrace the scriptural definition of marriage." The Rev. Brett W. Becker, pastor of St. Paul UCC in Cibolo, Texas, who wrote the resolution, said he believes the UCC should stand for traditional marriage.
A third resolution proposed for the meeting calls for prayer and study on the issue.
The United Church of Christ was formed in 1957 with the union of the Congregational Christian Churches in America and the Evangelical and Reformed Church.

Skunksy...
what, exactly, do you mean by "gearing for a launch"? I thought the Q already "launched" on RCN a while back (limited viewership, but a launch nonetheless).
Ja, es ist das Ende!!!(eom)
greencheetah...I agree
not everyone can handle concentration; in fact, very few folks can.
But, as a financial planner, I totally disagree that diversification, prudent asset allocation, and a committment to savings is a waste of time. Over the long haul, such a strategy has proved to be best approach to minimizing market risk while maintaining a "decent" return and building wealth. Again, I'm speaking of the long term; not simply a few days, weeks, or months from now.
If someone really wants to take a small portion of their overall portfolio and gamble on individual stocks, Pink Sheet or otherwise, well then fine. But, as many have said, one must be willing to lose it all.
Au contraire, my friend...
Diversification (and disciplined saving), over time, is to wealth as concentration (and market timing) is to poverty!
sirotka3...just be careful...
and for God's sake, don't take my mere suggestion of OMM as a buy signal! Just thought I'd mention it since you brought up TK.
Diversification, my friend, is what will keep most of us sleeping well at night. Yeah, you may not "get rich" overnight, but at least you'll be able to sleep easier through the market's ups and downs.
With the bulk of your portfolio, go for quality. With the rest, do what you wish...
Prince
OT: Sirotka3...
I tend to think that you are right about a near-term rally; my sense is that the market is a tad over-sold right now. However, the old addage of "sell in May and go away" keeps going through my head (i.e., the historical seasonal cyclical pattern), with buying opportunities being better in the fall.
I also agree that it's a stock pickers market over the next few years. I still believe that we're in a secular bear market, which will have ups and downs, but certainly not the "ups" we saw in the 1990s. A well-diversified asset allocation (between equities and fixed income investments) is key to surviving (without going crazy and losing too much sleep!).
I disagree, however, that we will be in a full-blown recession by the end of Bush's term in office. I lived through the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the two things that brought the market to its knees back then were energy prices and astronomical interest rates resulting from rampant inflation (recall that home mortgages around 1980 or so were in the vicinity of 14-18%!!!). I don't see interest rates getting anywhere near that level in the near future, but I will grant you that constantly-rising oil prices could have a devastating effect on the markets. Neither of these market-influences are under the direct control of the Bush administration (or any other administration, for that matter). Oil/energy prices are a global phenomenon, and domestic interest rates are primarily influenced by the Federal Reserve (again, not directly under the administration's control). I will also grant you that the US's budget deficit under the current administration will continue to put upward pressure on interest rates, as the government has to continue to borrow to fund its operations. But, again, I just can't see rates getting to the levels seen about 25 years ago (JMHO). In fact, the republican Reagan administration ran large deficits in the 80s, and although interest rates were higher than today, the markets had a pretty good run during that period.
Sorry for spouting on so, but just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth (and that's probably all it's worth!).
Finally, since you mentioned TK, you might also want to check out OMM.
Hey King...
I know what you mean about the Blue Chips taking a beating. Stinks!
Most of my dough is in mutual funds; a very diversified bunch comprising high-quality large, mid, and small cap funds, REITs, energy, healthcare, foreign, and some bonds and cash. Yet, over the past couple of weeks or so, there seemed to be no safe haven. Everything is getting hit. Ironically, cash is the best place to be momentarily, but it certainly isn't a good time to cash out on equities to raise cash, since they're under water YTD. So, as you said, and I agree, the best thing is to just hold on.
Why...it's Prince spaghetti day, of course!!!(eom)
