yeah..I've been following the AP thing all day. What the hell was he thinking??!?!?!
that's just gonna confuse and piss off the polar bears...
:)
I've done pretty nicely on QBID. Still have a few million shares (I sold all at .06ish a few years ago, and slowly accumulated at .0001 while it sat like a turd in a punchbowl for two years).
Cashed out a bunch on the big run a few weeks ago...Now just sitting...waiting..hoping...dreaming.... LOL...
HAHAHAH :>)
why are you counting?
(Very big grin)
dave
yup. Welcome to the world of NO BS.
:>)
cool. I"m never on RB at all. I'm hoping to retire on my QBID stuff in the next month or two ;) Still have FASC, but mostly I've learned to hold stuff too long.
I'm takin' the money and RUNNIN', baby.
:)
UTHA!!!! YO BRO!!! WASSSSSUUPPP!?!?!?!
I was wondering what the hell happened to you. Where you been!??!?!?!
All is well, I hope. Been way too long, old friend.
dave
EXACTLY what I'm planning on doing ;)
pretty sure it was the same as we're seeing now. Those of us that have seen the past few 'launch attempts' figured out how to take our profits on the anticipatory runs up.
and, of course...the eventual NOSEDIVE down to .0001 when the launch didn't happen.
I truly get the feeling this time it's different. There are some seriously legit players on the team now (instead of just Frank). I sure hope so.
BE SMART. TAKE SOME FREE PROFIT MONEY ON THE RUN UP!!!!!
no idea..but it sure has been climbing slowly and steadily!!! That's a good sign. I just keep waiting for a PR...
eeyoo...Math.
:>)
no..the question is..why would a stock with 7 BILLION shares do a forward split???

Author: Gays Could Strengthen Marriage
Saturday, April 17, 2004
By Peter Brownfeld
WASHINGTON — How do you bolster the institution of marriage? Let homosexuals take part in it.
That's the argument of one gay-marriage (search) advocate, who says allowing homosexuals to marry instead of cohabiting or partnering in civil unions will create one "gold standard" of relationships. He says to do otherwise would weaken the institution of marriage by creating a menu of relationships.
"Same-sex marriage is the first attempt in many years to move back toward the expectation of marriage as a universal norm and the gold standard. With gay marriage, you say that marriage is for everybody," said Jonathan Rauch, author of the new book "Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America."
"When you get same-sex marriage, you eliminate the marriage-light alternative of civil unions (search) and partnerships. You send the signal that if you want the benefits of same-sex marriage, get married," he said.
But opponents argue that the same people who support allowing gay marriage are the very ones who oppose marriage as a basic building block of society.
Rauch's vision is part of "a dream world that isn't engaging the correlation of forces in society ... taking us in the direction of de-institutionalizing marriage in such a way that will put many more children at risk," said David Blankenhorn, founder and president of the Institute for American Values (search).
The gay-marriage debate emerged on the national scene in November, when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the state must permit gay couples to marry. In response, many socially conservative groups expressed worries that marriage will lose its meaning if gay couples are allowed to wed.
Feeling the pressure, President Bush expressed his support for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He said it was for the "preservation of marriage."
"Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society. Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society," Bush said in February.
Marriage as an institution has already been subjected to serious challenges, primarily the increase in out-of-wedlock births and decreasing marriage rates, said Sarah Brown, director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (search).
One of the major traditional incentives for marriage — pregnancy — is no longer such a strong draw, with growing acceptance of births to unmarried couples as well as the easy availability of contraception and even abortion, she said.
"Marriage can be seen as an institutional response to the enduring power of the birds and the bees. Now sex need not lead to children. In short, the bedrock of marriage is eroding," Brown said.
But even with the obstacles, Brown said she was doubtful that gay marriage could get the institution back on track.
"It will take far more than gay marriage to bring order to the mess of marriage," she said. "There is no one way to fix it."
Rauch agreed that gay marriage will have only a marginal effect on the institution, but said it would be a positive one.
"Couples are detached from marriage. They increasingly see it as an option," Rauch said, adding that given the option, civil unions, the "halfway house between marriage and cohabitation," will end up becoming an attractive option to straight couples, further eroding the institution.
By not legalizing gay marriage, society "would validate cohabitation" and turn "every successful gay couple into a good example," he added. Marriage "will become one of many lifestyles; an item on a menu."
Blankenhorn conceded that heterosexuals are primarily responsible for weakening the institution of marriage, but he said gay marriage would detract further from the institution.
"If I thought, as Jonathan Rauch does, that gay marriage would turn the tide in a pro-marriage direction, I would wholeheartedly support that," he said.
Advising the nation to "proceed with caution" on the issue, University of Maryland professor Bill Galston predicted that the immediate effects of gay marriage would be positive.
"But the longer term effects are imponderable," he said. But Galston said he is hopeful.
"It is a cliché of our society that immigrants become the strongest patriots of our institutions. Might that not also be the case for marriage? Might gays also reinvigorate the institution that they're lining up to join? My hope is that this expansion of a long-cherished institution will have the same effect."
Blankenhorn said he too has hopes for marriage.
"My main hope for our country is that we can have more and more of our children growing up with two parents," Blankenhorn said.
same to ya. Sanganki for everyone :)
price surge on DOCU as well :)
yikes..I hope the regular site is a far better improvement than the first page..
I'll reserve my critisism until the site launches.
Let's just say that in my job, I see a LOT of truly professional website work...and I create a lot of sound design elements for them.
nuff said ;)
nice to see the price creeping back up :)
ok..now I'm hungry...
ROTFLMAO.
brilliant observation ;)
LOL :)
MYIQ. I'd like to respectuflly ask the groups opinion..
thanks.
dave
DROOOOOOOOOOL>
SSP..let's put THAT on the Tourist List for Dave.
:>)
excellent points :)
It's all about target marketing. Ever watch the Speed Channel?? LOLOL...I call it the 'perpetuating the stereotype" channel. Especially during motorcycle season. LOLOL
I'll be anxious to see what QTN's website finally looks like, and if I'll be able to tell if it's blatantly 'flamboyant".
:>)
dave
apparently, ME. LOLOLOL. I'll shut up now.
I need a vacation ;)
BYCC...wow..missed one.
LOL>.ok..I just gotta smile at that.
Exactly what kind of website would attract Gays instead of non-gays?? Let's not stereotype us non-gays (LOLOLOL)
Actually..I think an innocuous (sp?) website design will work towards QTN's advantage!!! If the website is flaming pink with butch looking women with mullets on it...well, that's target marketing...(VERY BIG GRIN).
a great example of what I'm saying...www.gfn.com. A great looking, informative website. Totally gay oriented, but, heck..even us straight guys like it.
I like our conversations :>)

WNMI 0.014 -0.0021
WARNING! Project Updates
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - MARKET WIRE - 04/15/04
Press Update -- Warning Model Management (OTC BB: WNMI). Malia Jones is currently in Hawaii shooting stories for two of Japan's hottest magazines. This follows on from the TV special she was featured in this week for one of Japans highest rated variety shows Tokonatsu Girl.
The response from Japan after this show aired was amazing and will only help raise Malia's awareness when her product range is launched both here and in Japan later this year. Malia's Inside Sport Editorial will be syndicated to over 12 countries in coming months as well.
Dennis Rodman is booked to shoot with celebrity star photographer Max Vadukul. The story will be a cover, interview and 10 pages of fashion aiming at a whole new audience and possible customer base.
Paris Hilton is finishing Simple Life 2 and is shooting cover after cover in the few days available before flying off to Australia and the set of her new movie. "Paris is in such demand and IS literally the hottest property on the planet at this moment it is hard trying to fit bookings into her schedule.
Many projects and developments cannot be announced as the magazines and clients have their own agendas and publicity machines and do not want to be pre-emptied," commented Steve Chamberlin (Warning's COO). He added, "Warnings slate of new projects are progressing rapidly but these are long term projects that take time. Publicity and brand awareness are paramount and a solid base needs to be built.
The company has many exciting projects to announce and is sorting options for growth by both merger and acquisition."

Let me make a point here:
MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, OK?? But, smart companies do MARKETING. And, smart companies figure out WHO they want to market to.
