I remember seeing this a year ago or longer on this board. Amazing how things never change.
That's an interesting view on the article but I'm not sure it's accurate.
"...organizers said they hope to avoid the problems that forced previous hosts into bankruptcy."
"The event has been plagued by budgeting problems. The hosting organizations for the previous four Gay Games filed for bankruptcy after the event was over, Webster said."
Seems to me that it's a bad sign that all previous events have had budget problems and the orgs involved file for bankruptcy. I do not see where the Chicago org is doing that.
Dang. Forgot I only had n posts a day.
Nope.
The first time I bought QBID was simply to buy QBID. The progress looked good and the product looked good. Other than that no rhyme or reason involved.
This time it's simply to buy it due to the price point.
Most of his statements are not put out as facts but forward looking comments that should happen. We all know what can happen there.
Now with that being said he has caused laughter quite a bit.
What people think of you here have no relevance to leaving out the facts I asked for. I have no basis to determine if you opinions are good or bad. I have not read all of your posts just the ones directed toward me.
Even given they are good they are still opinions and not what I asked for.
As far as irking anyone, that doesn't bother me at all.
Where did I state that? Once again where are your facts?
Read the post to find out what I'm talking about in the comparision. You obviousaly do not understand what I was saying. I never said QBID and MSFT were equal corporations.
Now what I find hilarious is when people don't use facts and can not provide them.
I was looking for a fact.
I invested plenty in MSFT 8 years ago. To invest in MSFT today is not the wisest thing to do if you want to have a good investment going forward. In fact investing more money in MSFT is the last thing on my mind.
So no facts? I'll pass on assumptions.
OT- MSFT -- Which is short of expectations and should have been more. Having one division lose 293 million in a quarter is signifcant. Xbox consoles have negative gross margin. When that's the case the last thing I want to see as an investor is delays and flaws in the product at launch.
Where did 100 billion float number come from?
Your point?
Well looks like I finally got filled in at the basement price. I just love when that happens.
Any pink is a gamble and that's why we are in them. You win some you lose some.
I've owned MSFT forever and the best thing they have done as far as I'm concerned is start paying dividends.
Now with concerns of MSFT being a gamble it depends on when you bought it. I would not touch them once they hit around 30.00 any more than I would buy GOOG at current price. The ones making money in MSFT bought a long time ago and have stock piled over time.
Right now I think up-start/small companies working with RFID and DNA-Genomics are where the money will come from. Of course that is my opinion and should only be taken to mean anything by me.
Sure. But if you laughing you did not read my comments.
Reviewing the as companies and assuming delays as all companies have then they are the same. All companies do business the same basic way regardless of size.
If you took the time to read I also pointed out that if your looking and how stable one is to the other then there is a differnce. In that fact every company is differnt so you can not compare one to the other.
As an investor in both I treat them the same especially with statements of when something might arrive on market.
Should I dump my MSFT stock after seeing they are not competent enough to meet there own goals for the Xbox 360. They planned on shipping almost 3 million units but did not have the forsight to have enough parts to sell 600,000 units. So right now the games division is posting a 293 million dollar loss. Plus the delay of launch in Australia to March which will be competing with the PS/3 & Revolution launches at that point. Not to mention less that stellar sells in Japan.
My answer is no because I have believe they will eventually produce the product and profit. Just like Vista (longhorn) will ship eventually even if it is not what was promised. I attribute my decesion to the stability of the company and the track record of being late but eventually overcoming that.
Now with QBID I dont' see the stability I would like nor do I see the numbers I would like on the stock and can not see any others but I still think it will come. My position is QBID is a known gamble on an unstable company that I think has a good product. When I see delays I see them as any other company would have regardless of size. If you are not gambling you should not be in the pinks.
Was off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure it was a pink. If you research it I'm sure you can find a lot of foriegn companies that have move from non-reporting to reporting through the pinks. You should also be able to find foriegn companies that do not want to report but are solid companies and will make money on your investment.
Glaxo Holdings PLC
I know people that held Enron stock prior to the plunge. It made it no less of a company than Microsoft.
Do I percieve the same value or stable background in QBID as I do MSFT? No, it's a penny stock and is a gamble.
Yep that's me. In my mind QBID is no differnt that MSFT. I am still disappointed with all the issues in the Xbox 360 and the loss MSFT will be taking on units to gain more market since I'm an investor.
I stil see QBID as a legit #2 or #3 channel for the demographic. As I said before I feel LOGO is the #1 channel.
I just wish my order would fill.
Has anyone filled at 0.0001?
Who did you talk to at Dish to get this info?
Key here is if it's made available to us. Right now it appears t be a slow build.
I'm not a short term trader or day trader. Every day it is looking worse for Q. At best they will be the #2 station now and we will see small profits before they are bought out.
There are other worries I have but I don't care to mention them since they are to negative and there's no proof it would happen but most pinkies will cost you more than they make you.
"Attacking someone and saying childish things makes you look like the kid who got his arse kicked all the time in 4th grade. "
I agree with this. Just had that happen to me today someone being childish. Won't say who though.
Agreed. I also stated in the conference call he would be content with being the #2 station.
I guess only time will tell we can compare Q's to Logo's version. I know logo is doing a documentary on a drag festival.
I just don't see where the differnce would be.
Such as "My sexual harrasment"?
That will only turn people off of the channel. Otherise your talking nudity or violance. which is not needed to create the #1 gay channel.
Such as My Sexual harasment? Just kidding, anime porn is only listed on the side. I hope it a mistake.
But other than that I just don't see the differnce in what can be shown from one to the other based off subscription unless you just have to show nudity, graphic violance or are just to foul mouthed. None of which could make a show that much better.
Sure some people may be unhappy about it, but I'd rather explain a person being gay than why kenny is "milking the dog" or kartman is an asian prostiute, etc.
I'll have to disagree.
YOu have SouthPark which has pushed the limits, as well as draw together, etc. Logo will be able to be cutting edge but not pornographic. Also, nudity and being so crude you can't be on normal cable does not make your numbers go up.
In my opinion being a pay channel does not give them a extra card going against Logo.
Well 4-6am is not a good spot but at least we are on the channel. Any idea on exactly where this is broadcast and how many people are actually watching it?
I have no doubt Logo will be the best station of the Mix.
Where is yours in all the posts you have?
I stated opinions on what I have seen and heard.
But if you want some quick off the top of my head things since I'm currently mobile I'll give you this.
1. Ski Trip is airing on Logo. Award winning movie. Service in Silince is airing on Logo another high quality movie.
2. Orginal series such as Wonderfalls Round Trip Ticket (which a friend tells me is excellent), and First Comes love.
3. Specials that are top quality such as Mellisa Ethridge (sp?) , Cho and Norton.
4. They have acces to all of viacom resources and news sources. The will have series and shows people want to see.
There is nothing wrong with being 2nd. Franks said as much in his last confernce call.
Kinda like the one I'm replying to right now. I'd wager I have fewer dropping than most here.
I've posted informational stuff here before and have stated what some thought were very insightful opinions. I am simply pointing out that the quality of the board has went to the birds since I started posting.
But the replies to my post reminds me of a quote.
"Small minds are much distressed by little things. Great minds see them all but are not upset by them."
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
It will take awhile but I would not rule it out. QBID is a long way from positive results in my opinion.
With Logo out and on the air it will take a lot to get this stock moving again. From everything I have seen and heard Logo will be the number one station with the highest ratings. Frank has already said being second isn't bad and he will be happy to be there. The fact is being #2 isn't bad.
The point, in my opinion, that investors should take from this is the fact that long term QBID will slowly rise but nothing spectacular. So the money is still there but not in the grand amounts many thought. So as long as you invested wisely and kept your risks stocks to a % of your portfolio there will be nothing to worry about.
Once again I come to this board and can only laugh at what I see. From both sides of the fence.
Thanks for reminding me I overpaid for SIRI at a little over a buck.
Got the real info then came here for the comedy show.
