At this rate of loss, CPPC will be at .0001 fairly soon... QBID story ALL OVER AGAIN.......
I agree -
Additionally, until CPPC puts out some credible (audited) finacials and starts doing it on a 1/4 basis, this stock will be nothing more than a shame pump and dump target.
They just showed up...
CPPC = $0.0001 by 11/30/07 Just watch.
Droppin like a rock...did anyone really expect something different now that everyons shares have converted?
My whopping 75 share showed up on Scottrade this morning...
$3.7m shares to 75. Boy I feel all warm inside.

I don't mine your posts at all - I wish the SEC would through all of them in jail - I' didn't know if you knew something special the SEC was doing..so I asked.
we either see the big dump tomorrow or it goes to $6.00
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
SEC? Why does everyone keep refering to the SEC?
Scotrade will not let me buy CPPC unless I do it through a broker - apparently the Scottrade Risk/Fraud Dept. is monitoring CPPC...Gee, I wonder why?
My JPMorgan account already has the QBID/CPPC stock transfered. I lost about $14k...
1:50,000? And folks that had 400,000 shares get 100 automatically?
Who the hell is running the books at this place?
Frank? I'm sure it's him...
$1,225,000?!?! What is the QBID reverse split ratio?
I never got the DVD and I requested it 3 times
Dr-J - honestly - how do you really feel about QBID?
Sure. Anything larger than 1/100 would work.
A 1/100 R/S may be the only option to pull QBID out of the toilet
Isn't Q coving this in Chicago??

Proposed Gay Games event divides small Chicago suburb
(4/04/06 - CRYSTAL LAKE, IL) - Among the items on the City Council's agenda seems a simple matter: Whether to give rowers a permit to have a boat race this summer on a small man-made lake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But because the rowers are gay -- participating in something called the Gay Games -- what would normally be a mundane debate about parking and street closures is instead a heated battle between those who see the event as a threat to their small-town way of life and those who see such views as simply small-minded.
On Tuesday, the City Council was scheduled to discuss whether to allow the Olympics-style Gay Games to hold its rowing event in this bedroom community of 40,000 about 50 miles northwest of Chicago.
One look at the angry letters to the editor that have frequently appeared in the local newspaper reveal it isn't the logistics of the race that's on residents' minds.
"Make no mistake: The purpose of the Gay Games is to legitimize homosexuality and make it appear as a wholesome lifestyle choice," wrote Tim Coakley, a critic of the games.
In the same day's paper, Perry and Christine Koste dismissed such views. After wondering if Crystal Lake's motto should be "homophobic capital of the Midwest," they asked, "How proud are we to live in such a narrow-minded, backward hateful community?"
The debate over the Gay Games was the subject of two contentious hearings before the city's park district last month. The full board ultimately voted to approve the race, sending it to the City Council.
If the City Council approves it, the race would only need permission from neighboring Lakewood, which also borders the lake, before the event can be held. Officials in Lakewood say they plan to approve the games.
One of the Gay Games' missions is to raise awareness about gays to reduce stereotypes -- a point organizers kept discussing during the park district hearings, said spokesman Kevin Boyer.
"It is very difficult to disregard what these people said and just deal with how boats are unloaded and loaded," Boyer said. "You are going to say this is not right and this is why the Gay Games are needed."
Most of the events for the Gay Games are set in Chicago. Organizers have said the weeklong competition set for July is expected to draw 12,000 participants, tens of thousands of spectators and pump more than $50 million into the economy.
The games, which started in 1982 in San Francisco, are held every four years and are open to gay and straight participants. Other sports include badminton, basketball, cycling, flag football and racquetball.
The furor in Crystal Lake about the games goes to the heart of why many people say they stay in or move to such a community.
Coakley said one reason he and his family moved to Crystal Lake a decade ago was because "there is more of a family values kind of atmosphere" there.
It's the same with Sunita Stone. "Crystal Lake is a G-rated place," she said. "There's no reason to start making things racy. If you want to go to Chicago to do that, that's fine. I'm not going to go there."
Such talk doesn't surprise Al Hunter, a Northwestern University sociologist who has studied local communities. Hunter said that as suburbs have grown, a number of businesses and industries have abandoned big cities in favor of outlying areas.
That means that as people work closer to home, they travel less to the city and identify less with it, he said. The Gay Games, he said, may feel like an outside invasion.
Mayor Aaron Shepley said the Gay Games organizers have made the event more about a statement on gays and lesbians and not rowing, thus putting Crystal Lake at the center of a debate about social values.
"To the extent that part of the agenda of promoters was to draw attention to a social platform, they've been successful," he said. "And to an extent, it's been at the expense of Crystal Lake's image."
Still, Shepley believes the City Council will vote to allow the rowing competition and said Gay Games organizers will be treated like anyone else who has an event in the town.
"This is only an endorsement of the First Amendment and the
anti-discrimination laws of the state," Shepley said. "That's all it is -- following the law."

I filled one in for our 'fat little buddy'
I hope he rots in jail
Waiting to buy back in? It's as low as it can be without being free. Hell, the only direction is up. You might as well buy in now so you can hold it long enough to make it a long term investment for tax purposes.
Lloyd Fan? Who is that? I Googled the name and get a comedian. Hopefully this guy isn't a joke also.
It seems to me, if he were into all the companies listed, there would be a legitimate business article on this guy.
Again, another POS PR.
Once a Felon - always a Felon. there is no such thing as ex-felon. It's kinda like being ex-dead.
I love the Verizon news - QBID however WILL NEVER in crease PPS until Frank gets off his fat ass and releases creditable audit numbers. Period.
Perhaps Frank can send all of us the audit to our PDA now that they have wireless braodcasting!!!
Adds several hundred Million - where was it before?
Also, does SAAG require full disclosure and finacial reporting and audits?
What crap!
Any truth to Q bring aquired by TW?

TV FEATURE / Gay-friendly network hits cable / QTN targets community with premium lineup
By MIKE MCDANIEL
STAFF
Queer television has finally found a cable home in Houston. But you'll have to pay to see it.
Q Television Network joined the Time Warner premium cable lineup earlier this week. Available on channel 537 for $7.99 a month, QTN features content friendly to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, including five hours of live content Monday through Friday.
"When our CEO, Frank Olsen, was coming up with the idea of Q Television, he felt it was important to be live so the GLBT community could interact with us through phone calls, webcams and e-mails," said Scott Withers, executive vice president, programming. "It also allows us to react to major stories taking place that day so we could influence and educate the community we serve."
Live shows include" Brunch", a daytime entertainment/talk show that Withers hosts;" QTN WorldNews" (6 p.m.), a half-hour newscast; "On Q Live", a nighttime version of "Brunch"; "The Reichen Show", a call-in program hosted by "The Amazing Race"'s Reichen Lehmkul; and "The Q Edge", which Withers describes as "our version of "The Tonight Show "but way out there in queer interest."
The content appears aimed at young adults, based on what has aired so far. It can be titillating at times (shirtless go-go boys) but not prurient (in a "Q Live" segment on 2006 calendars, care was taken not to show nudity).
Some of the shows are repeated in the overnight hours. Otherwise, the remainder of the lineup consists of a library of some 2,000 mainstream and independent movies ("Camelot", for example), documentaries and such preproduced shows as "Q on the Move", a travel show, and "Life's a Drag", in which a drag queen travels across the country, primarily small towns, in search of drag shows.
The movies run commercial-free, but the live programs include commercials (mostly public-service announcements so far). This provides QTN income on top of subscription fees - a practice not common on premium channels. One of the draws of premium TV is not having to deal with ads.
It's possible that the double-dipping policy will be altered in the future.
"We're always going to be a pay station," Withers says. "We don't want our network thrust into everybody's homes, because there are places, especially in parts of Texas, that don't want a GLBT network."
As for the commercials, "we'll cut back," he says.
A portion of QTN's income will be devoted to developing more original programming. Withers says plans for next year include "several" reality-based shows and a game show.
"One of the drives for us will be an episodic show," he says. "We're not sure if it's going to be a comedy or drama. I'm personally pushing for a GLBT science-fiction show, but I don't know if I can find a staff that can pull that off."
QTN televised the Houston gay pride parade earlier this year. Ironically, Houston couldn't see it.
"We brought live coverage from seven cities around the country," Withers says. "Houston has a unique pride parade - it's at night, which made it absolutely gorgeous. So we were happy to share it with our viewers who were not in Houston, and we're really excited that Houston will be able to see it this year on Time Warner."

Frank betrayed us.
Can you post the link to the lawsuit ?
Frank Olsen, President, CEO and majority shareholder, has converted all his personal QBID holdings into preferred stock, which makes up 53 % of the total shares.
All Business Wire NewsQ TELEVISION NETWORK, (OTC: QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, announced today that, in an effort to bring fair value to its trading stock, QBID, Frank Olsen, President, CEO and majority shareholder, has converted all his personal QBID holdings into preferred stock, which makes up 53 % of the total shares.

"We converted QBID shares into preferred stock, eliminating fifty-three percent of the tradable outstanding shares. We are confident this will strengthen the demand for our stock, and dry up the supply of trading shares that we feel are being manipulated in the market," said Olsen. "Converting our common stock into preferred stock will allow us to retain voting rights, but will also squeeze out the large short position in the stock. Q Television will continue to be as aggressive as possible, and do everything necessary to ensure our shareholders are treated fairly."

Try 60:1 reverse split to get this thing un-buried
What?!? 60B? When did this happen? The only way this stock will ever emerge from sub-penny land is a 60:1 reverse split.
Why do I keep seeing references to 60 Billion O/S? I thought it was 40B? Where are people coming up with 60B?
Until we get the audited numbers from a credible CPA firm, none of these PRs will have much effect on the stock price.
