Snow, you really are Mr. Negative. Taking a "step towards uplisting" does not mean "let's show profit and uplist". Taking a step means taking a step closer to uplisting. Aside from that, there is NO R/S in any discussion and I believe management has been clear on that, that they are going to achieve it "organically". Anyone who feels we are going to be on Nasdaq next month is not being genuine. It will take time, and true longs understand this...yes, we too have a desire to uplist and see the SP much higher than it is now, but the more pressure at these levels will likely lead to a pop up in SP - me, I want a slow steady rise in SP to stay under the radar of the vultures.

It's simple why he (or anyone like him) is always negative - it's one of 2 reasons:
1) He's dumb. Kind of like a parent constantly telling their kid "god you're ugly" as they try to raise them...
2) Wolf in Sheep's cloth. He doesn't own any shares and is here merely to dissuade people from this stock or is working with a stock group to push the price down.

Either way, NO investor who owns stock in a company is going to continuously bash their own investment. Yes there may be times when they question the stock or management, but to continuously do this demonstrates either 1 or 2 above.

He said: " It is useful for me in my investment decisions to see if the bullish shareholders are able to point out grave fallacies in my reasoning."

This isn't a fallacy, but rather a suggestion - you are shooting yourself in your own foot at every turn if you feel that other investors do NOT turn to IHUB and other boards to see where people are leaning on a stock - they do. Even Big Board company investment houses look to the market and public opinion to see how people view a product/software/etc. because if people do not like something, it will not do well, and if it does not do well, the company does not do well...it's all tied together.

This person doesn't realize that all investors here who own this stock are in the same boat, so listening to their incessant whining about the ups/downs of the SP is fruitless drivel to these current investors and only serves to dissuade or convince others to sell/buy. Any person who continuously persists in negative chatter must feel they are sharing some breaking news to the rest of us - they are not.

Best to all TRUE Longs

Snow, why is this "foolish" in your opinion? I work for a multi-billion dollar company that regularly makes quarterly statements relating to positive/negative financials and EPS projection. Whether or not they hit their EOY goals affects the SP up or down. There are things going on behind the curtains that allow the CEO to make statements of this type.
Since you are not behind the curtain, your speculative reply will go into the "everybody has an opinion" hat along with my opinion and we'll leave it there.

Best to all longs!

At one point, I questioned this stock and management. Now, they are demonstrating they DO want to become a larger company and continue growth.
Here's what I do not understand: There are a few people here that feel this is a "play" and continually try to discourage others with backhanded compliments of the company. So why are they so intent on spending every day here posting with 90% negative/10% backhanded positive comments?
Think about it...what is their motivation to continually post if this is truly only a daytrade "play"? A) it's more than that. There are unscrupulous firms/people who sit around and try to find ways to make money by trashing a company continually (wolf in sheep's cloth) in the hopes of discouraging people to leave the stock and drive price down.
Reality is, we are undervalued at this price, and in time these people will leave but that won't happen until the stock continues to drive upward and we hit Nasdaq...but I guess even then, these people will find a way to do the same then.

I put them on ignore and let them talk to themselves...if I do respond to them, their response back is telling. I think their time is better served going after true garbage stocks like DJT, a company with no revenues to speak of, no product, millions in losses, and trading at $30+/share

My $0.02...My best to all True Longs.

Snow, well this company is still relatively small in the grand scheme of things, companies don't start out at the top. This company is an Acquisitions company and is continuously growing year over year. Can they sustain that? I think so. As far as leadership goes, Jeff Bezos was not exactly thought of as the great leader he is today when he started amazon. He was borrowing money from family members to get his company up and running. 10K was the initial ask from family members, and now they're billionaires.

I believe in time the management will evolve along with the company and continue to grow and become white prosperous in the future.

...also, cross-selling aside, there will eventually be a redundancy pulled out of the company as you don't require "two people to do one task" - that runs across the entire company. They will consolidate resources and that too will continue to put money in the coffer.

I am sure people whined about Amazon in the beginning too, and they're not whining now. 😁

You're gonna hear naysayers on this board...KNOW what you hold and WHY you are holding. All the side chatter is nothing but a distraction from your goals.
Time will bring rewards with IQST...

Let's slow walk upward, and keep under the radar of the daytraders...

Best to all TRUE longs!

train, there are a number of resistance points to get through and most occur from where we are through the $0.27's. We are fortunately at a good support point, so let's see where we go as we approach the April timeline.

Best to you and all true longs!

Special, I plan on being here for a very long time. Thanks for the reply and I know in the long run we're all going to be extremely happy that we held through the good and the bad.

I'm lurking in the background and because there are always going to be negative posters on this, I feel it's better to let them squawk and put them on ignore and just watch the stock make its slow moves North

My absolute best to you and all true longs!

Looking to break 0.251 and then go to the next resistance at 0.259

Need to break through and hold with slow movements upward.

Best to all true longs!

Been a while since my last post...hoping all are well...just sitting and patiently waiting for the fire to catch. Let the profit takers walk away...new investors will see the potential and get in. We are going to stair step our way to Nasdaq.
Best to all TRUE longs!

oldman, don't waste your breath on worthless people. Giving them a response only provides them with oxygen to breathe. Ignore is the best avenue...when others see that these posters are not being engaged, they will see them as they are: paid bashers. I encourage you and others to put these people on ignore, and let them talk to themselves in the corner.

Best to you buddy and all longs!

Cootcat, No, I think train speaks for the majority of us on this thread that believe in civility and rational discussions, rather than the tirades of children and people who appear to be paid to be here to discourage others.

Best to you and all longs!

I am hoping to pick up a few thousand more if my price point hits. I don't think it will pull back up until after the holidays as people are going to take their losses for the miniscule tax write-off, and there focus is likely going to be on Christmas gifts/travel. It's going to bounce around until then unless something significant hits. But my buy point is set, so let's see what happens.
I am always up for a great investment purchase!

Best to all longs! Put people on ignore if all they do is bitch - they're not worth your time.

Quigley, best thing to do is ignore...some people are born pessimists...some are paid to be pessimistic. I'll leave it to you to determine which camp some of these posters fall into.
For me, I ignore, because I know what & why I am holding long.

Best to you!

This is what many have been waiting for...now, the naysayers will chime in, but who cares. Thanks for the timely post - got this in my email and came here to ensure it was posted!
Thanks and best to all Longs! The ship will be leaving port soon!

PoboyJim, Success is the best revenge...let the chickens cackle...I put them on mute.

Best to you and all Longs!

Stock, I agree with you on the points where they have won awards and now we want to know "where's the beef?" If I had to guess, they are locked into an NDA with the company they are doing business with, and quite possibly on the cusp of solidifying contracts. With hackers everywhere, they might be getting asked to improve on the security aspect of the technologies so that some idiot doesn't find their way into the system. Think about it, the design monitors the levels and potentially supply/demand needs - if they are hacked, that could lead to some really disastrous outcomes - keep in mind I am spitballing on that reasoning, but it would make sense to me given the cyber threats around the world. Integration takes time.
Maybe ping them and ask on some clarification on progress...

Best to you and all longs!

Pobo, no sense in wasting your time telling them to sell...they don't own. If they do, they have to be the dumbest investors in the world. What person, who says they have/own shares in a company, goes about berating the company? Their response to that question is usually drivel to the tune of "I thought this was a board where all thoughts are discussed", but they are not discussing, they are only bashing. Some were (before I muted them) cursing and calling other people names...childish really...
So, I digress back to my earlier point that they have to be the dumbest investors in the world...or paid to be here and sow discontent.

Have a great day!

Best to all longs on IQST!

I realize we are not TPST, but looking at their financials and seeing negative numbers across the board with no revenue, and they jump from $0.23 to almost $10 overnight does give me hope that in our sector investors will see the true value of IQST and eventually push it much higher.
Yes TPST is filling a niche need: Cancer cure, but without it being on the market yet, and people going crazy over it, does give me hope that quality stocks are going to get the recognition they deserve...and IQST is one of them.
This is my long term hold...Best to all Longs! The future is getting brighter every day.

Boiler, we always try to avoid impugning the integrity of others on this board, but some are just blatantly out in the open about their intent. I had to put a few on ignore just so the rational discussions could continue. I am ok with others making a negative statement now and then and I realize the back and forth is good to inform others, but when they continue to beat the dead horse it becomes apparent that they truly are either dumb stockholders or here to bash, period.

This was my 3-5 year hold, and still is...every now and again I will nibble to add more shares.

Best to you and all longs!

sometimes folks, the Ignore button is the best thing

Best to all longs...

Ken, a few points.
I too have taken issue with PR's (as an example) where the verbiage was poor. I brought this to the board, and also to IQST. This is not a "net positive" based board, but rather a board to discuss. However, for someone who owns (by my calculation and your admission) $84,660 in this stock, regardless of whether or not you purchased it at the $0.249 level or not, it is foolish to ignore that fact. For someone to be so cavalier about that much money points this discussion back to my original points, where you are either being foolish with that money by bashing your own investment carelessly or providing your input with ulterior motives.

Whether you have strong issues or not is one thing, but I would continue to ask management about your concerns offline as doing it here only serves to needlessly scare other investors away because you feel you are not being listened to by management. Continuing to push negativity only serves to undermine your own investment, ergo, proves my previous points of a fool or one with ulterior motives.
You also risk your own credibility when you do so...proceed or not at your own risk (investment risk that is).

I do not claim, nor ever have, to be a "world class investor" as you put it...I am a seasoned investor, yes, and realize one important principle: If I have my money stuffed under my mattress, I am not going to burn down my house because it has termites (my analogy) - I am not also a "self-appointed chief" but rather someone who is not only protective of my investment, but also of others' as well...it's a Karma thing.

Best to all longs! Time proves all things, true or false.

Ken, I like to be objective & take a 30K foot view approach when it comes to issues. I am not trying to impugn your integrity or reasons for posting, but I would like to say this:

If a person is a significant holder in a company (300K shares by your words), why would they attack their own holding publicly? Me, I hold over 200K shares and while I may ask questions, I won't come on here and repeatedly beat a dead horse issue in front of other investors. Words here make it on to other sites (i.e. Stocktwits, etc) and the pillow feathers are not retrievable. I would say that anyone that holds $75K worth of a stock would be well advised to keep the tempo light and healthy, and if that shareholder has issues, they can either sell and move on or take up the issue with the company. Airing your grievances publicly is doing your portfolio harm, and if a person is willing to do that consistently, then they are either a fool or someone who does not hold shares and is likely working with an ulterior motive.

Just my 30K foot view of the situation...and this does not just pertain to you, but to anyone who purportedly holds stock in a company.

Best to all longs...the day is coming!

I sent an email to Nick & JP...here is the response:

Thanks for your email and I understand your concern. We are actually very busy behind the scenes with ERT and other aspects of the business. When we are ready, there will be positive announcements. Shareholders asked for news only upon completion and when we are quiet, its then assumed nothing is happening. It’s not possible appease both sides of the table all the time.

The company acts like it belongs on platforms other than the OTC by virtue of the fact that it grew to $78m audited revenue in two years and we are now reporting news as a big board company would.

ILUS is close to its first subsidiary uplisting. ERT will follow behind. We now know the recipe well and it is all being geared up as we have stated in our vodcasts and other previous updates. It will not be long before we can release information on the ERT side, but we will not do it prematurely.

I do understand it’s a difficult period from a Shareholder perspective. It is also a very challenging market for us to grow the business in. We are navigating through it and look forward to soon displaying the next phase for ERT which Nick and I are very excited about.

Best regards,
JP

Ken, while every company uses "word play" in releases to some extent, IQST management has been forthcoming and listened to the shareholders. As for the 4 years of "crowing", in January 2024, Covid will be 4 years old, and when Covid really hit in summer of 2020, stocks and the market took a hit. When the market takes a hit, OTC gets hammered. So I don't concern myself with the "crowing" to get to Nasdaq. We will get there when the market determines it is ready, and 3rd/4th quarters of this year may be the turning point.

Worry not o ye of little faith.

Best to all longs!

...and for ANY on this board who keep speaking of an RS...IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
We have a very low OS count, and Management has already stated this will NOT happen. They said they are going to achieve Nasdaq "Organically", not through trickery and manipulation.

So please, for the love of god, stop the nonsense.

Best to all longs!

Smoking (and others)...regarding Nasdaq uplisting reqts:
this is a repost of my earlier posting...I spoke with the folks from Nasdaq on uplisting...

OK, regarding Nasdaq requirements:
I emailed them at staffinterpretations@nasdaq.com to get the accurate information on the uplisting dollar price/days and oddly enough I received a phone call back.

This was my query:
Good morning.
I have read the PDF on the listing requirements. I have been told there are 3 variations for Bid Closing Price to qualify for Nasdaq, but have only been able to verify one: $2 bid closing price for 90 consecutive days.

Can you tell me if the below options are legitimate options for qualifying?

$2 Bid Closing price – 90 consecutive days
$3 Bid Closing price – 4 consecutive days
$4 Bid Closing price – 1 day

Thank you in advance!


We are all aware of the 90 day @ $2, but according to the gentleman I spoke with there are the two other options.

1) $3 for 5 days, not 4
2) $4 for 1 day

This following part I am only including as a future reference for other stocks:

If a company performs a RS to achieve either of the 2 options above for $3 & $4, depending on severity of the R/S, Nasdaq can place an additional 5-10 day requirement on sustaining the price point.
In other words, if you have a $3 target, but are sitting at $1.00, and perform a 1:3 R/S, you not only have to wait the 5 days, but an additional 5-10 days. Same for the $4 point if you R/S (1 day can become 6 days up to 11 days) to sustain the $4.

Thought I would help clear the air for everyone a bit since I was quite curious myself, as are a few others on this board.

Best to all Longs on IQST!

Little creeps upward...slow and steady. Stay under the radar.
Best to all Longs!

Boiler, they only care to scare. I think you know too...
I just mute them and move on...if they aren't responded to, they die of loneliness and move on.

Best to you and all longs! Got my 225K and ready to rock

Finally...my latest order of 100K fully filled @ $0.215...now we wait 😁

Just a quick note, and I knew this, but if you put in an AON order they are likely not going to fill it in a timely manner. I put in my limit order, and sometimes you get the shares cheaper, but sometimes they keep the limit order price. They piecemealed my order (1200 here, 1000 there, etc) because there were not enough sellers to fill the order - in my mind, that is a good thing...means we may have found a solid bottom (for now...lol).
Best to all longs! 3rd/4th quarters are going to be the ones to watch!

BTW, they still owe me 2800 shares 😁

yep, @ $0.215...they only filled 65K of the 100K...the order expires tomorrow.
that 35K at the Bid is mine

train, it switches back and forth, one time showing OTC Pink then the next OTCQX...something internal to their software.

Iflhdy, agreed...their OS count is quite low for an OTC stock...just had to clarify on the Pink thing...E-Trade is in error too as it says (OTC Pink Current) but it is not.
The word PINK scares investors who don't do DD...had to say it 😁

Got another 50K @ $0.215...35K to go...

Iflhdy, you are incorrect. Your first statement (all Pinks) may be true for OTC Pink stocks, but IQST is OTCQX, the top tier. There are 3, OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTC Pink.
WE are not Pink, so that is disingenuous to say we are. They have stated NO RS, and given the OS count, an RS would be idiocy. If we were sitting with 2 billion shares, then yes, I would agree...we are not.

Get in now, if you are not already in

Best to all Longs!

got 15K filled...waiting for the other 85K @$0.215

train, there will be NO RS...management has stated this ad nauseum.

Best to all longs!

just placed a 100K share order...let's see if it fills...fingers crossed
