I like the way this company is expanding. It is like a big puppy dog right now, just getting it's bearings. Before long, it will be very hard to keep from running. And I don't necessarily mean pps-wise. I just mean that as long as they keep adding to the foundation... the company grows (i.e. more air time, more employees, more water-cooler talk, more event coverage...etc.)
People scoff at the pr's about "Q at Super Bowl" and the like, but that all adds up.
Do you have anything useful to say, or are you just venting? You called froy a joke after he spent an hour or more of his day gathering info? Says a lot about your character.
I didn't think much of the info either, but I am not going to bash anyone for putting it up here.
Without empirical evidence I feel like I am driving blind, but I do feel like this is a sound company that is growing.
Sometimes too much information is a bad thing. I applaud the IR guy for speaking with investors, but he can't make the earth move in one day. With all of this new info, it is only going to fuel the speculation surrounding this stock.
The one thing that I agree with is the need for new investors. Perhaps with all of the recent exposure at events, more and more new blood will come in. Word of mouth takes a while to get momentum.
And to anyone that is daytrading this stock.... you suck, and you know who you are.
JBW... the problem with your post lies in the following sentence:
"I DON'T THINK ENOUGH
IS BEING GENERATED THROUGH SUBSCRIBERS AND ADVERTISING IN THE MARKETS HE'S SECURED."
You dont think? That is based on a feeling, not facts. Without perfect knowledge about a company, how can you make such assertions?
Just tired of all the "I think" this and that rhetoric. Focus on what they are doing and leave the finances to them.
From what that IR bulletin stated, it seemed that Q management would be actually talking to money managers and/or the Market Makers? Did I read that right?
Actual communication between the company and the MM's? Wow.
rexxus, you might find this website of interest...

Dinah Shore banner looks good. It's like they are creating a following by attending all of these events. The more the word gets out (like in the Advocate) and the more they publicize their presence at events.... the better it is for their supporters. They can say "hey, Q is going to be partying at such and such place... let's go and hang out with some celebs and be seen."
rexxus, call your broker and ask them your questions. I tried that and they told me that since my shares are in a cash account and not in a margin account, that they are mine outright and nobody can touch them. They said not to worry. I believed them. Maybe I am a fool. That was scottrade by the way..
I know the game. Been watching for a long time. Just sometimes when newbies come on here and start to listen to it I have to jump in. They need to know there are motives behind it that are not in line with those of long-term investors like myself.
OT: me too. Maybe Q will have some kind of St. Patrick's tie-in... ya never know.
I am half-Irish. Makes me gag to have to see that word associated with bs on this board... haha

Investor Information
3/9/2005 - RE: Message Boards
We are well aware of message boards discussing our stock and feel true investors should be wary of certain individuals that post. Please understand that these few select people have a specific agenda to disrupt the long term investment strategy of our shareholders. They are in place to purposely create fear within the investment community. Management's policy is not to discuss company matters with anyone until all investors can be made aware, thus creating an equal playing field. That said, anyone claiming that they have spoken to the company and is privy to information not yet public is spreading false information. Initiatives are now in place to investigate any person posting inaccurate or untrue information. We understand that the concept of message boards are good and recognize they create an outlet to discuss, but we will not tolerate blatant fallacies.
See what happens when a smart person calls you guys out? You may be able to scare those that don't have first-hand knowledge, but this guy owns a company and he knows that you guys are full of it.
You nailed that one.
You changed your icon too. What happened to F.O.? You have good taste with your new one though.
Nice try buddy. Your backhanded attempt to slam Q will not work on me. I know how people like you operate. You are now on ignore.
Irish, this is what I am talking about. You bring up old news so I question your motive. Why are you doing it now? What do you have to gain by doing this?
The only ones that might not know about that situation are newbies.
I heard about it last year while researching this company. I knew they had some issues with that shell, but they seem to be committed to correcting that. For the last year or so they have made that clear.
Stop bringing up things in an attempt to "educate" us. It is a scare tactic and I don't appreciateit.
I applaud your efforts. For me, all the DD has been done. They just have to grow the business. I purchased shares from Feb-July of last year and am just sitting on them now.
Last thing to bring up... I have to question any poster that all of a sudden brings up things to cast doubt on the company. For instance, with the a/s issue... that was old news but it was brought up like it was something they just did. If people thought it was such a big deal, why did they wait to disseminate it on the boards. It is no mistake, they are very calculating in their bashing techniques.
Check out my earlier post regarding naked shorting. There is a petition you can join if you desire. It is up to you.
Lilly D, my advice is do not read RB. That board is worthless.
For a person to say that Q has no business and no revenues is ridiculous. Just ask Skunksyard if they have no business or revenues. I believe she pays for her subscription and in fact I've seen someone's cable bill from this board showing the amount for the channel.
The A/S issue is not important to me. They had valid reasons for increasing the A/S. Irish likes to use that as fodder for bashing, so beware.
Just posted this on CBS... will do it here too.
I need an outlet for my frustrations, and I've been looking at this site today. It looks credible, but you judge for yourself.
http://www.investigatethesec.com/index1.php
I know others are frustrated too. I will not sell my shares though.
I really hope the pps situation is not prompting people to kick their dogs.
Why fret over something you have NO control over? It's okay to be frustrated, but remember ... at least you are alive to be frustrated. It's better than the alternative, right? :)
Well, you are mostly incorrect in your assessment. Yes, I was trolling for a good penny stock with which I could make some money in the short-term, however if I was looking to make the "quick buck" I would be a day-trader. Q has done so many things that I like in the last year, but the pps has stayed low. In my own mind, I think it should be higher.
What attracted me to Q was their long-term potential. I am in this for the long term, and made that decision when I bought the stock. So to say that I "sound" like I bought it for the wrong reasons is wrong.
This is a good example of one hand not knowing the other hand. We all like to make our observations about others that we do not know, and most of the time we are misinformed.
I will not leave Q. Th
Perspective on this stock.....
I've owned Q for 13 months. I check it everyday and check the message boards about 2-3 times a week. It frustrates me. Mainly because I thought this would be a good way to make some quick money... I am learning that nothing comes easy.
On the other hand... I own Intel. I never look at it. I know what it is, and I have no doubts about it. I just hold it.
The main reason for frustration, IMO, is that a lot of people got in this Q stock to make quick money, and it is not happening that way.
So what would be good is a PR telling us that the float is MUCH smaller than what we all think it is... wishful thinking.
The frustration level was not as high IMO. In an earlier post I wrote that any sudden pop that is purely technical will likely not sustain itself. We'll probably continue to do just what we've done for the last year or so unless there is Major news.
Frustration will continue to grow. i know I am starting to get it... haha.. but then I just stop reading the boards and it goes away. Funny how that works.
I do not doubt that we are a ways off. I'd say no earlier than April. That is the start of the second quarter and that is when they were supposed to meet the HD requirements. Of course, that probably means July.
Why do people feel like this thing "is going to pop"? Is that based on the technicals? If it is, wouldn't you think it is fair to say that any "pop" that is not based on news is just a maneuver by the mm's?
I really don't see the stock jumping up all at once as it builds itself. I see it as a BIG company with many pieces. Coordinating all of those pieces is difficult, and it's probably extremely difficult to just make things happen all at once. Hence the difficulty in making the pps rise all at once.
If we get major news about carriers, that will likely push us up some, but any "pop" that is based on nothing more than speculation is just not going to sustain itself, IMO.
Hopefully, the slow and steady climb will start soon, because hovering around .003 for so long is tedious. I'll wait it out though.
why would we not understand it? it has been explained. we are not dummies.
IMO, nothing is going to happen until late March on the carrier front. Didn't they say a while back that it would be the 2nd quarter of 2005 before they would be ready for HD programming. That is probably what the carriers wanted. I don't see any carrier news coming for at least another month.
Fine, if he continues to just bring his DD here. But that cat has been a pain in the rump on every board I've seen him. He is young and is jeckyl/hyde. If you let him back on board, just be wary of his dark side. I can't stand posters like that.. at least try to be even-handed from day to day.
smoke, I have dish and it is not on my lineup anywhere. Shawn L is the moderator of the cbs board and he recently went in and cleaned up all of the bashing posts. He deleted them all and it pissed off the bashers. I think that the person calling himself/herself "shawnofcbs" is just a mad basher who is trying to be funny.
We are all dealing in "what if" here. Nobody really knows what will happen and when it will happen. Just hope that it goes in the right direction.
Personally, my opinion is that Q is buying back a LOT of shares and will announce that along with carrier news sometime before April. That would propel this up to the range needed to even think about getting on Nasdaq. Just hoping... haha
Nothing is really changing much lately, but that recent hire is intriguing indeed.
I love the ignore feature on this board (bye froy and bigjohnny and foxy)
13 weeks is a nice run. The more I think about this, the more i like it. Skunks is always talking about branding Q, and would this be considered branding? People all over the country will be exposed to the programs now. Good, good.
I agree. How can this possibly be viewed as anything but good news? Let's see who jumps back on the bandwagon now...
123 stations is good, but remember it is just to preview a sampling of the programming. They are not on 24-7 on all of those stations, as I understand it. If I am wrong, someone will correct me for sure.
There was just a BIG block that went through. Over 18mill.
I agree. Do not go calling sponsors, or anyone else. Just let this thing play out.
Cracks me up when people say there are pumpers on here that are manipulating the stock. Yeah, they are really pumping up the pps lately aren't they??? haha The pps has not done much of ANYTHING for quite a while. If they are pumpers, they are not doing their job very well. Put that claim to rest please!!
FANTASTIC analysis! I like it. :)
Complainers are out in force today. Same old complaints. It is getting very tired. Don't you people have better things to do?
IRISH, you say you proved it with Frank's numbers, but again you are assuming that what came out of his mouth is gospel truth. We all know how he can say one thing and mean another. Therefore, given the fact that we have no knowledge of any audit results, how can you possibly say that you proved a thing? Show me the audit.
