While we are at it lets discuss all of the "suspicious" activity of CBBD and its previous entity China Broadband. Not to be negative but rather educate the newcomers to the topics they may see related to CBBD.
1. It was created via a reverse merger (yes, but not all reverse mergers are frauds. It has been happening for years. You only recently heard of them because of the fraudulent ones)
2. You on Demand is the 6th incarnation of this publicly listed entity. (True, can you blame someone for paying pennies on the dollar the buy a currently listed company and turn it into something of greater value? It is very expensive to list a company and can be prohibitive for new start-ups)

I read this post a while back. I looked into Cathay and Dr. Lu and she seems to be a serial entrepreneur that has had a few failures. She is definitely highly educated and involved in several companies. The statement made about the shares trading in China before trading here clearly shows the ignorance of the person that posted since CBBD is traded on the OTCBB and is not an ADR or Pink Sheet ADR. Nor is it a China based company. Everyone should do their own due diligence on her and report back to everyone. Also, it really is not that uncommon for companies ran from the USA that primarily do business outside of the USA to be based in Bermuda or the Caymans.
In terms of share price projections.... everyone needs to keep in mind the 785 million shares outstanding. We will need to see ALOT of revenue and healthy profit margins to move this puppy over a $1. For this to be a legit stock we need high revenues to absorb this massive float they have! We may need $75-$100 million in revenue before we see $1.
Thoughts Anyone?
I really don't think this is a big deal since they decided to not pay approx $160K USD. I would assume the 20% equity they are giving up in the company is not even worth that. This is not their core busniess anyway, so one would think they will sell their entire interest at some point.

Quarterly earnings are usually posted about 6 weeks after the end of the quarter. We should see something around Feb 15th.
A somewhat interesting article
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118044818?refCatId=4154
Is there news out I haven't heard? 1.5 million shares already traded and were at $0.067.
Good article. This is an obvious threat to CBBD, but if they can get a fraction of the estimated $1B in VOD revenue by 2020 they will be just fine. While the article focuses on the younger generation, one cannot forget that half of China's population is over 35 and has very little education. While the younger more wealthy folks may be very tech savy, there is a large % of the population that relies on TV for entertainment not the internet.
Jinan is not Jilin. Two separate provinces and two separate cable operators.
Not trying to be negative, but this is only an agreement to "promote" VOD. The article states they will work toward a carriage agreement. Seems like Jilin cable is not entirely sold on the idea.
There is a sell order at 0.058 for 1,995,000 shares at the open this morning
I bought some at Schwab on Tuesday
Is TD Ameritrade working for anyone else? Because it is still rejecting my trades.
Schwab is working
Ameritrade is not allowing buy trades on CBBD.
My guess would be they are bought up by a larger company or private equity shop well before 2018/20. Once this things gets rolling and they can see hard numbers, CBBD will get bought before it's too expensive.
I am not sure about that. As much as I don't trust the trade info, the bid was at 0.0575 at time of sale and the "sale" was at 0.058. If that order was put into sell, someone stepped in and bought at 0.058.
2 million shares? Any details
Thoughts????
Youku.com Reaches Licensing Deal With Twentieth Century FoxLast update: 1/11/2012 8:42:26 AMDOW JONES NEWSWIRES Youku.com Inc. (YOKU) reached a licensing deal with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for 250 new release films and library titles for its online television business. The Chinese online television company has been adding licensing deals to expand its selection of television shows and movies. Youku.com's American depositary shares were up 8.5% at $18.34 in premarket trading. Through Tuesday's close, they are down roughly 57% in the past year. The company went public in the U.S. in December 2010, at the time posting the strongest first-day performance for a stock in the U.S. in five years. Youku said the Twentieth Century Fox titles will appear on its premium on-demand platform, where the company said an increasing portion of its users pay more than once a month to view its premium offerings. The agreement includes online rights to movie franchises including "Planet of the Apes," "Ice Age," "X-Men" and "Aliens." China's Internet usage has grown steadily, and ad spending has improved, though Youku has faced hurdles in piracy lawsuits, challenges navigating government censorship and state-owned media's expansion onto the Web. Youku.com in November reported that its third-quarter loss narrowed as its revenue more than doubled. Twentieth Century Fox is a unit of News Corp. (NWA, NWSA), which also owns The Wall Street Journal and this newswire.

WEBSITE????
Has anyone noticed that when viewing the website in Chinese, most of the information is only characters and not actual info. The english version seems to be okay, but that is irrelevant. How useful is a website if the target audience can't even read it?
Has anyone contacted CBBD to see if they are presenting?
Yes they still have a "closing transactions only" restriction on CBBD. I suggest opening an account elsewhere to buy. I have been buying in my Schwab account.
stanlee1979 - I was wondering the same thing! Someone did in fact sell 5 million shares, but that means someone also bought 5 million shares.
I don't believe they did a reverse split in January. The board approved a reverse split to completed at the discretion of the board, which has yet to happen.
Scary Volume!
o/s about 785 million
That is a very good question. Mr McMahon has said in several interviews that the price would be comparable to that of purchasing a bootleg dvd but with much higher quality. They will probably go the cheap with high volume route rather than charge a higher price.

The 100,000 shares was someone with a TD Ameritrade account selling at the bid. My guess is they got nervous due to the restrictions TDA has on the stock. The 500 share purchases have been happening for the last several weeks and seems to be someone trying to push up the price or hold at the 0.065 level.
Not every broker has restrictions in place. TDA is taking the DTCC restriction and placing a "sell only restriction" because it now costs them more to clear the trades due to the restriction. Not every broker is cheap at the expense of their own clients as TDA seems to be.
I have TOS (TDA by default). I can't imagine the restrictions are registered in the paper accounts. Try placing a trade and let us know what happens. As I stated earlier, mine are being rejected.
That is interesting because my buy orders are rejected with notice "closing transactions only". NickC are blowing smoke?
Schwab currently has no restrictions on CBBD
I use TDA as well and CBBD is restricted on the buy side, but not on the sell side. If you were not aware, DTCC has a trade for trade restriction on the stock which causes many brokers to restrict trading.
