Hey robertmic71, just sent in my request.
Vegas - what??? All I can think of is pie=dish, in the sky=like a satellite or something and wave of numbers=audit results or maybe a car loan. So what I get is Betty Crocker wearing an antenna on her head is applying for a car loan.
NSS - does this mean MMs are going to have to report the short position now?
Thanks
On the plus side at least it wasn't MM manipulation or naked shorting. Maybe if Frank ever decides to quit selling shares Q will rise. But why would he want to get off the pinks? Dump shares, sell shares, distribute shares, whatever, no problem.
I hear what you are saying and understand totally. If it works he will have the whole package no question. I guess my only complaint is I feel like we (okay me) are being played. Not totally, this company is real, it has a few revenue streams, NTI is great aquisition, Honey is hot, etc. but I think he should be more up front with us. I really don't think he wants to get off the pinks until he is done buying stuff with shares. Just curious, what do you think is left on his list to buy? He's got the network, a studio, uplink capability (NTI) - maybe a satellite?? I wonder if he is looking to buy a cable company...
lobo doesn't lie. If he received the email he received the email. Who sent it might be in question but not that Lobo got it. Personally it sounds about right to me - which really sucks. Frank needs to focus: gay tv not media empire.
What's sad is that technically Q isn't diluting. Instead it's the people Q is giving stock to in payment that are selling their shares. And I don't think we'll get an official audit until Q is done aquiring whatever else Frank sees in the window. The dude needs to focus. Gay TV - not media empire.
I didn't see Here mentioned in the GLAAD article. Logo and Q but no Here.
Vegas, thanks for the positive attitude and good info.
dish in the sky - what the heck is THAT supposed to mean? That's as cryptic as something like 'Q coming -> DIRECT_ly <- to you'
Film Library -- Q Television has acquired over 4,000 films generating two hundred thousand dollars per year. Similar libraries of this size have recently sold for eight billion dollars. Many films will be proprietary property of Q Television, and the remainder will be leased to other networks.
I think Q should sell 1/8th of the library for a billion and give us the money.
Would preferred stock be included in either OS or restricted?
Frank converted his shares to restricted and since they mention restricted in the PR his shares must be included in the total. It almost sounds like the 6b restricted from before have been sold into the market...
Seems like everybody was right and wrong. Not 50b outstanding but not 5b either. Stock price where it is because of some manipulation, some restricted shares and some dilution prior to financing. At least this is something. Sounds like the company is doing great. 2 mil in debt, various revenue streams, getting carriage. Go Q!
thank you dingo! And to quote Stanley Tucci from the movie 'Shall we Dance'. (he's talking about ballroom dancing) "A straight man wearing sequins walks a lonely road"
Someone was counterfeiting their shares. BCIT is up 110% today
and up 10x from when the put out this PR.

Bancorp International Group Inc. Announces Initial Interim Conclusions of Ongoing Investigation
Monday August 1, 5:53 pm ET
NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Let it be known that as a result of the BCIT announcement at 10:30 a.m. on 6/13/2005 the company hereby announces the initial interim conclusions of an ongoing investigation.
ADVERTISEMENT
The company has been the victim of corporate identity fraud (click on the URL below). On 4/21/05 via fraudulent documents filed by a ``Louis Lesser'' with the Nevada Secretary of State, there was an illegal attempt to take over BCIT by Carter Care Inc. by way of a purported reverse merger (5/12/2005). This occurred without the knowledge and consent of the BCIT shareholders and board. Prior to BCIT being alerted of the fraud, there was no contact with or knowledge of Carter Care Inc. by BCIT and its board. Carter Care was subsequently contacted, and a verbal agreement was reached for a retraction in the form of a wire announcement by Carter Care. However, an announcement was illegally made under the BCIT banner and referred to a reverse merger that had never legally occurred.
https://esos.state.nv.us/SOSServices/AnonymousAccess/CorpSearch/CorpDetails.aspx?CorpID=243077
Let it be known that those individuals and corporate entities involved with the illegal takeover of the company printed invalid share certificates with the legend Bancorp International Group Inc. These certificates were signed by Richard Carter of Carter Care, and hundreds of millions of shares have since been printed. These shares are apparently being illegally sold by market maker Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (SACM) http://sterneagee.com, trading office 980 North Federal Highway, Suite 108, Boca Raton, Fl 33432; tel (800) 930 3536. The Birmingham, Alabama office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been initially contacted in this regard.
Let it be known that these shares have no value and do not constitute any of the legal equity of BCIT. The official printed and issued shares of BCIT do not exceed 4,890,000 shares which bear the legend March Indy, signed by Thomas Megas. The investigation is ongoing, and state and federal regulators have been made aware of the problem. Attempts to agree to compensation of $2,000,000 for damages have foundered on the issue of criminal liability. The company accepted $50,000 as a partial payment to cover initial investigation expenses and as part of an overall settlement for damages.
BCIT has not signed nor entered into any agreement relating to any gold or diamond mining venture and has made no announcements to that effect. BCIT has made only one previous recent announcement on 6/13/2005.
In November 2004 BCIT commenced bringing its SEC filings up to date and consulted with brokers in the USA and Europe regarding a reverse merger with a European realty business. BCIT hopes to rehire its original transfer agent http://pacificstocktransfer.com in tandem with its SEC filings. On 6/20/2005 Thomas Megas and Martin Duffy were reinstated as officers of the company with the Nevada Secretary of State. On 7/28/2005, Blue-sky Solutions, LLC, having been hired by the fraudulent parties, resigned as investor relations contact for the company.
In the interest of protecting current shareholders who may unwittingly be holding illegally printed shares, BCIT will be petitioning the NASD to enforce SEC rule 203(b)(3) http://www.law.uc.edu/CCL/regSHO/rule203.html and effect a ``buy-in'' by the parties who originally sold the invalid shares signed by Richard Carter and have effectively ``failed to deliver'' what they represented as valid shares of BCIT.
Should Q do something like this? Recall and reissue share certs.

Hi Net, so the way I am starting to read this is that daytraders basically chart each other. So is it true that charting is more appropriate for a company like Q, one that is dominated by daytraders, than a company like Toyota, one that is dominated by institutions? Thanks
The Senator quoted his constituents' explanation of how brokers move naked short positions among themselves to get around the 13-day threshold so they never have to cover.
Might be the after hours blocks we see all the time
As I understand it they know how many shares from the previous shell are out there they just don't know who has them.
Why that's a problem I have no idea but supposedly not having that information is a huge problem, one that needs accountants, lawyers and investigators to solve.
Hey Socal_Helix, sir, did you mention to your aquaintances that Q can't find some shares from the dirty shell they bought and even with that they think the audit should be finished? I wonder how you pass an audit when you are missing shares.... There has got to be some way of reporting these shares so that an edgar audit can be passed. This problem can't be unique to Q so there has to be some kind of proceedure to deal with it.
Hi Net, couldn't Vert be transferring shares back to Nite in all those after hours transfers?
Thanks,
Thanks JC - anything else from Rene?? What, it doesn't hurt to ask right?? :)
Net, I've heard, and am starting to believe, that all the after hours trades are MM exchanging shares. So that means that Vert could sell all day and then after hours the MM that bought from Vert could transfer the shares back. How many ways is this just wrong.
I wonder if trading using charts is a like a self fulfilling prophecy. This bounce off of 13 has that feel. Longs or Q could care less about 13 vs 14 (they both suck) but daytraders using charts sure care. They see 13, it means something in the chart world, and so they trade and the stock moves according to their chart wisdom. And so charts are used by a trader to predict the action of a trader who also uses charts.
What - that you call yourself Bobby?
Hey White, any update on the dividend?
Well said Skunks.
Crap, now I have to sign up with COX again. It seems their plan is working...
no. Somebody two weeks ago said something like "The backer could be
anyone even someone like Paul Allen". Then someone else said "Paul Allen could be backing Q". Then someone else said "Paul Allen backing Q would be a good thing". Then "I like Paul Allen backing Q".
Finally - "Paul Allen is backing Q".
Kind of like Paul Allen taking one of the Canadian hockey teams and moving it to Portland. Until Paul Allen squashed the rumour by telling
everyone he didn't even like hockey.
KillBid, are you human? Or a DD automaton? Fantastic work!
IMO every sell at this level is a red flag. Nobody, not even a daytrader, would sell right now. Curious, is there one MM who seems to be selling?
Could some MMs be ruined by this move by Frank? And if so do you think they are going to do everything they can legal and illegal to stop Q from running? Could get interesting. You know Frank and Rene are watching and recording the action today.
This makes wonder who is financing Q at this point. I wonder if TW would want Q trying to get other cable operators if they were footing the bill. Makes me think the investors are more aligned with the network than with a carrier. FWIW
Hey DD, any good predictions for us? Thanks.
no relation. :)
BTW my wife wants to start a support group for wives-of-guys-who-own-qbid. Topics of discussion will be "is my husband really gay", "is qbid really a porn site?" and "what the heck do those guys talk about all day?". I'm sure there are other wives-of-guys who would find this group helpful....

News from The CTAM Conference:
My fiancé was at the conference, she said when she arrived for check in that there was a big banner close by that read "Q Under Construction". She said that there were two guys standing out front dressed as construction workers. They were shirtless of course but wearing the orange vest. She said that we/Q had a big presence there and at dinner it was the talk at the table.
Once she returns I will find out more information and post it. I asked her to go back bye later to see if she could get some pics, information and maybe some freebies..
Go Q!!!!!
Here is a useless PR from Viacom. I think these PRs are the way these networks work. Any press is good press.

Court Is Back in Session and Judge Harry T. Stone Is Presiding!

TV Land Reveals Verdict That Night Court Launches With 48-Hour Marathon Beginning August 13th
NEW YORK, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Order in the court! TV Land pleads guilty as charged as the network launches the hilarious comedy Night Court with a 48-hour marathon beginning Saturday, August 13 at 6 a.m. (ET/PT). Starring Harry Anderson as Judge Harold T. Stone, this sitcom made its mark on television as one of the most memorable slapstick comedies of its era. Night Court will air in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 11:30 P.M. every night beginning Monday, August 15.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050725/NYM163 )
"Night Court's unconventional style and unforgettable courtroom antics will forever be imitated, but never duplicated," states Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land and Nick at Nite. "Its memorable cast of characters was a remarkable assembly of talent."
A staple in NBC's "Must-See TV" line-up of the '80s, the series premiered on January 4, 1984. The show centers around a Manhattan Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Harold T. Stone, (Harry Anderson) a very unique magistrate with an unorthodox style. Unlike other judges, Harry's motley crew of clerks, District Attorneys, magic tricks and bad jokes tend to follow him to the bench. He is joined by Dan Fielding (John Larroquette), the prosecuting attorney with an amazing conviction record and a sex life to match; Bull Shannon (Richard Moll), the 6' 8", bald bailiff whose bark was worse than his bite, but not by much, Mac Robinson (Charles Robinson), the sensible court clerk and Selma Hacker (Selma Diamond), the short, elderly, raspy-voiced bailiff with a dry sense of humor. After the passing of Selma Diamond in real life, the show added the character of Roz Russell (Marsha Warfield) as the manipulative bailiff who never hesitated to express her opinion and public defendant Christine Sullivan (Markie Post) as Harry's on-again, off-again love interest.
The following is the schedule for the Night Court marathon (all times ET/PT):
