Thanks for the info I had not seen the pacer site before.
Then why has it dropped from $56 to $25.05? In the last year it's went from about 30 to 25.05.
So you saying it's ok for a company to put out misleading PR's as long as they have a certain appearnce? Or are you saying a company that is above a certain size or on a certain exchange doens't put out false or mis-leading pr's?
Don't forget MS was taken to court due to false PR's that were designed to slow the sale of a competing OS (dr-dos).
The fact that some of the PR's have run late or do not happen
are the nature of the beast with forward looking statements.
The market has fluxes and we will see them even with QBID. I do not expect to see any real movement in QBID unless they have carriers and would not expect a lot even then. I just do not see the market supporting it right now. With other stocks down I would rather invest in a solid company at a discounted rate versus a speculative one.
Apparently you don't know MS's PR history and late releases on Products.
You apparently also don't know that the long awaited and much delayed Longhorn product will be shipping without key technology upgrades that were promised.
You should also look at other companies PR's from micro,small, and Large cap stocks. Many miss and put out PR's such as Qbid. But MS has a history of missing dates that goes back to the dos days.
The fact is the market does not always react to news and Qbid is not the only company showing red. They are effected by market movement and issues just as much as any other.
I hold both MS and Qbid.
Man. Microsoft is red and was red after announcing Long horn will ship soon. Guess no one believes the PR's they are putting out. No more crediblity for them.
Just because news is released does not mean the market will make a postivie move on it. How many other companies are in the red today that should not be?
Where can one find the court papers?
A link would be nice.
All companies put out forward statements. That is what Qbid is doing. As an investor these are to let you know what they are planning and the direction they are going.
If I held MS to it's PR'd release dates then I'd have sold off a long time ago. The best thing that's happened there is the div's they are paying now.
These missed PR's are nothing other major and minor companies do not have to deal with also. So it's not a big deal for me.
I'd think Qbid had become a terrible day trading stock with such little movement day to day.
Maybe that's why so many daytraders lose money long term.
I don't know if you read the updated post or not but I immediatly changed it to mostly.
The one thing I did notice is that Logo is getting the majority of the attention in the press with Frank getting baby bites. Right now Q is sitting in a position to be the #2 station once they get more carriers. That's if they keep moving forward otherwise they will be sitting third or lower on a very limited carrier base.
Wow. One usefull piece of information and the (Updated) Majority of the messages are junk and useless.
How has Q lost money?
The money is invested in the shows, employees, and required equipment, advertising, and required equipment for the whole network thing.
I don't see where we took to steps backward.
What have we lost? Did we have a top level exec defect to another channel? Did RCN drop us in the three cities we were broadcasting in? Have our ads been pulled due to the nature of the channel?
I see slow steady progress in the building of the base. Yes the steps are small but we are moving forward in my opinion.
Actually 30 is not where I bought at that would be lots between 12 and 16 between 8-10 yrs ago. I took a huge hit when it dropped to it's current trading position. The good news at least I'm getting dividends now and the 3.00 one was very nice indeed.
Well from around 30.00 to 25.00 in my books is plummenting. Now if I only had 10-20 shares I wouldn't care or consider it a plumment. There posting a loss today of .24 cents.
Funny. Qbid & DNAP are the only stock out of about 20 that are not bleeding me dry today.
To bad my MS stock is plummenting again.
The PR shows more forward progress and a growing of the eventual base infrastructure Q will be broadcasting on.
It seems Q is getting more attention every day and every time they do they use it to move a step forward.
As far as the price dropping that's just another prediction that will fall by the way side in the long run. Just like the .0006,.001n, and .002(n<5) we have seen over and over. The key with this paticular stock is patience and watching the groun work that is being built. I'll worry when we do not have the little things moving forward.
I agree with getting a PR that does not require DD.
Yes. Your right there are pumpers also and they are just as bad. Although, for the most part the pumpers from when all bad things were happening are now on the right track where as the bashers that were correct are now on the wrong track.
It is a balance but it's getting so I have to wade through so much trash that finding real info is getting a lot harder here.
So no more posts on this subject from me or I am just adding to the garbage.
Your right.
Guess I'm not thinking straight today so I used a bad example.
The point is still valid though. Most here now pick a subject to harp on and ignore anything else good that happens. The DD is lacking and the point of everyone jumping on the PR for POD without doing DD on them is also valid.
Your right and I expressed mine.
My opinion of the forums are they are to bring DD and information to the forefront and provide good analysis of the facts. I have no problem with someone being upset with who Q hires or that they are having lavish parties. I have issues when you ignore all the facts as a whole and just complain about the one thing. I have issue when people bash the company and call them BS'ers. If that's your opinion then you should probably not be on this board but doing DD on a company you can support.
Very few people bring actual DD to the board. They simply complain about anything and everything. If they can't find something to complain about then they twist the facts or make them up. Example: Whine about not going VOD like Here! then whine when we do. Bash the company we sign to do VOD with without actually doing DD on the company. Etc.
All the forward progress is good news. I think I'll just hold my shares and acquire more as I see fit. This is a good company with a solid foundation being built.
If your not interested or can not see the progress maybe you should be in another forum. Why bash here just sell and forget about it.
Why do you think Frank does not have the clout to pull carriers?
How did you determine that LOGO is more popular than Q in the gay community?
Is there a study you could link to?
Your putting me to sleep. Mid 20's again?
I've heard this prediction so many times it immediatly makes me yawn. It's not as bad as the back to .0001 in a week, or .0006, or the teens but it is close. Sure there is the possibility it will get there but enough with the predictions and especially the pre-lecutre before predictions.
This is an investment in a product/idea.
I've seen plenty of negative posts that were not removed.
The last I looked a few weeks ago the volume was 0.
I think it is listed but not traded at least according to yahoo.
Seems to me opening offices in China and signing a new sports deal in britian would be considered growing. Also, it's international growth not just the USA. This could also be a connection they use to get into the international market as mentioned early last year I believe.

Here's some more info on OBN. Please review these links to get ALL the information not the edited versions. I'd still like a detailed explanation of the posting though. Analysis doesn't happen much around here though does it.

These bullets which are part of the document but were not posted. Show that the company is addressing the issues and trying to grow. The document also maintains they put aside growth plans in order to maintain the company in a running state.
Removed from the section on Going concerns
In order to continue as a going concern, management has begun taking the following steps:
1) The Company is aggressively developing new television programs for Omni. Management is continually meeting with independent television producers who have approached the Company with ideas shows that they would like to have aired on the network. The Company expects the new television programs to attract a greater audience interest, which will also result in a larger number of affiliate television stations.
2) The Company is identifying and creating production and distribution opportunities for Eclectic. The Company is continually developing new ideas for television programs for airing on Omni as well as licensing the programs to cable networks. Additionally, the Company is currently structuring feature film production and distribution joint ventures with other independent producers in both the United States and Europe.
3) The Company is marketing the airtime available on POD to television program distributors and small television networks.
4) The Company has hired additional sales and marketing people to secure advertising and sponsorship revenue for the programs being aired by Omni. The people recently hired have successfully sold advertising time for small and startup television networks.
Page 17
5) The Company is continually increasing the number of affiliate television stations that will broadcast programming aired on both Omni and POD. The increased number of households being reached by the broadcasts will result in the Company being able to increase the amount charged for advertising on the networks.
6) The Company is taking steps to increase the awareness of its subsidiaries. Press releases related to Omni and Eclectic are being distributed to the media, and have been published nationally. The Company has used, and will continue to use, the services of professional publicists on a project-by- project basis.
7) The Company is currently developing relationships with strategic partners worldwide to increase its visibility and to create additional sources of funding and revenue.
8) The Company has, and will continue to keep, tight controls over it expenses, will hire additional staff only as needed, and when feasible, will continue to have support and production staff provide services to all of the OBN entities.
I know what it is.
Explain the relevence to this stock and the implications.
Explain please?
It amazes me that everyone is so critical of everything that happens with this company.
I've been in about a year now getting my shares at the lowest price points I could. I watched the growth and progress of the company for about one and half prior to that. Nothing indicates to me they are taking any backward steps this time around. I feel, and this is my opinion only, that we will be national sometime early 2006 with a good handful of large corprate sponsors. Between now and then we will see the price fluctuate all over the place.
So look at the news for what it is. Another step forward. Simply stated it gets us exposure to new viewers, sponsors and investors. More exposure is a good thing as long as you have a good product which I believe we do.
The point is that the standard scenerio has the company buying another going down after the announcement.
Will this happen with the PrideVision buyout? Probably not but it should not be unexecpted in the least.
Yes a drop in PPS share would be expected but it also would not be permanent.
An example is PG merge with G. PG stock has taken a beating since the merger was mentioned but I have used it as a time to get more shares in PG. This is for the simple reason that the merger in the long run benefits PG.
This is the same scenerio with Q merging with PV. The benefits are there and the merger will only give Q more good footholds going forward.
I agree that Boards rarely effect a PPS unless they can get word of mouth going outside the board. Which in most cases is impossible.
The only thing I have seen that would bother me is the SEC & Broker post. It is the only post I have heard about outside of the message boards. It was brought to me as the SEC is investigating QBID because n brokers turned them in.
Why should one be looked into more closely than the other. I feel both should be looked into. Bashing is just as bad as pumping.
It's my opinion it will posts such as the I just filed an SEC complaint and so did n number of brokers that I know. Also, the posters saying certain good things will be happening Monday.
They should be look only into the serious pumps or bashes.
OT: Sorry. I can not agree with that. If you have to dig through over a page of non-sense to find it then it's not worth it or very relevant in my mind. If anything is posted with merit it will soon be posted to other boards and no need to goto one such as Irishbulls pub.
So far with this board a quick browse of the front page of posts will easily give me new info.
