"Another Massachusetts firm" Due to the volume of questions from investors, you could say "another massochistic firm"
Thanks for your insight.
Got it, thanks.
I remember like it was yesterday when "my last name".com was available around 1993. I thought it would be too egotistical to buy it. NOW, I wish I had! I could set up all my family members with their own subdomains and email addresses. Kickin myself!
Very true, if they are even concerned with it. When my old company secured domain names for their companies, I made them get .net.com.org 'just in case.'
All of them pointed to the same site.
That's funny MrG! I remember when www.whitehouse.com was a porn site. Legally, the government couldn't do anything about it. It might still be porn, haven't checked. In fact, it used to be a porn version of the official whitehouse.gov site with pics of clinton/gore's heads on naked bodies kissing and stuff. Too funny.
To be fair Z, he's said plenty more that hasn't turned out the way he stated. I will not trust anything that is said anymore. I will believe things if and when they happen, no sooner. I am really pulling for him to come through on all these grand promisses, but there have been too many slipages through the cracks for me to trust anymore. I appreciate his optimism.
I like that idea. What about also polling together ideas on questions to ask as a group? What do we want clarification on specifically from Q? Anyone want to put up some polls for say, top ten questions from us shareholders that we could vote on and pre-discuss?
If I"m not mistaken, someone would have to be stupid enough to try and buy at that high price. Someone may sell to him, but it'd be WAY over valued compared to what other people are willing to pay. in other words, someone may be able to buy at 5.00, but what then? Who are they going to sell it to in order to make a profit? It's all supply and demand.
Bigtips, you seem to know a lot about stock rules. What would happen to the price if they listed on an exchange? Stay the same, go up/down, split/reverse... explode?
That's been on etrade's site for a loooong time. Looks like a "for instance" thing.
Also, even though it shows .012 in that one "after hours" box, if you look at either the etrade live streaming or look up an etrade chart on qbid, you will see it's really at .0028.
Haven't read that far yet... this was posted well after you sent the ASA pr... catching up...
oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying.
The PR about the conference didn't specify a date did it? We don't know if it's happened or if it's planned for the future.... wait n see huh?
You're just a mirror baby.
:)
If they aren't a partner, then why did you post the ASA PR touting their deal with Orbitz in response to me questioning Q's partnership? People keep sending me private messages that they can't find a partner page at orbitz and that they 'probably' don't post partner information. I just re-posted the link to their partners page a few messages back tonight.
By the looks of it, I'd rather Q have the deal that ASA does so all of us can save with Orbitz and not just them.
OT: D-More-D-Better: Yes I realize, that's been my point. It is not the same as ASA's. Skunks had posted some PR released by ASA announcing it's deal with orbitz. I was replying to her that the two were not the same. Further more, the link on Q's site goes to a generic Gay-n-Lesbian page at Orbitz and not to a Q page. You gotta admit it's peculiar there isn't a Q logo on that G-n-L page for being partners...
My god I need to sign up here so I can respond privately. I hate flooding the same discussion back and forth when others (including me) are tired of it.
Hey Ron2w, I had to find my original post with the partners page link. Nope, no Q. I think that's been part of the misunderstanding with me. Nobody else found the partners page and didn't know what the fuss I was going on about. Seemed clear to me :)

LMAO!! I'm done, I'm done... I apologize. I PROMISE no more talk of certain partners who shall remain nameless in this post.
Damn. Question things and people go on a witch hunt.
-How can we tell if she is made out of wood?
-Build a bridge out of her?
-Does wood sink in water?
-No! It floats. Take her to the pond!
-What else floats in water?
-Apples? Very small pebbles? Gr..gravy? A DUCK!!
-So logically, if she weighs the same as a duck, she is made out of wood, and therefore a WITCH!
I am no more a basher or nutz than I am a witch.
OT: OUCH! OWOSSO, not Owasso. Yes, in between Flint and Lansing. Live out here in Los Angeles now...had to get away from the bigots and the cold. LOL!
You in Michigan? I think Econnelle is too.
Running out of posts for the day... may have to repond tomorrow.
If you are talking about the sexist remarked posts, I agree.
I emailed orbitz two or three days ago friend. If I had received a reply, I would have posted it and none of these posts would have happened.
Damn! I just went on about it again!
"simply chooses to not single one out" Huh? Did you look at their partners page? It's full of listed partners... way more than 37. Not sure what your post was saying.
I hear what you are saying. I'm sick of talking about it, but still not convinced it is as Q says. My opinion... may be wrong... I'll know soon enough.
Erik/Zndant: You are the ones who see what you want to see. I see all the information and back up plenty to see the overall bigger picture.
When I first came to this board, more than a couple weeks ago as you hinted, I was curious as to the bashers attitude. "What's the point" I thought. What is to be gained? Now, (and no, I am not a basher by any means) I look at the smiley-faced pumpers and think the same thing. "What's the point? What is to be gained by ignoring facts and making up happy endings to things that go wrong?" It's all the same. Basher or Pumper, they are both useless.
I have offered plenty to this board and will continue to as long as I hold my shares. Try to see both sides of every issue (as I have tried) and you will be a lot less offended by what I post. When a post is overtly positive, I look at the other side and weigh the differences. When a post is of a basher nature, I do the same thing. When posts are well thought out and look at both sides, I can begin to see what the poster is trying to say. All of my posts that you would consider 'bashing' are replies to over the top skippidy-do-dah pumping (IMO). Maybe I should include the original posts, or go into more detail, but I dont' have that much time. I'll try to be more neutral and work on my clarity so people like you can feel at ease with labeling me whatever it is you want to label me.
I wish you all your due millions... If we all paddle from the same side of the raft, we will travel in circles. I see myself striving to evenly paddle from both sides, with my head up looking at the horizon. The sun, she's a comin' up, that's fer sure. But we'll never get there if we don't look at things as a neutral observer.
Ha! That was funny. Good post. Not even remotely what I meant, but funny.
Seriously though, just because someone says, "so and so who we hired USED to work at xyz company" doesn't say anything. If he's that good, why isn't he STILL at xyz company?
To call me nutz for stating viable alternate possibilities is in itself nutz. Going on and on with a drug induced smile on ones face is even nutier.
The link on Q's page does NOT indicate Orbitz is a sponsor. When did the word sponsor replace partner, which is where all this doubt comes from? Q stated they are partners with Orbitz. Orbitz replys to you that they are a sponsor of Q. Two different things. I hate going on about this, but it's just not adding up or making any sense yet.
unless he was fired from citibank. Just thinking out loud...
ok... Here's the link on ASA's site:
And now here's the link on Q's site:
They do not look the same, or say the same thing. ASA's seems much more real and functional as well as offering direct savings to ASA visitors. Is Q's like that? The ASA PR states clearly that they have reached "an agreement" and not a partnership. Q does not have anything near as informational on their site either.
Not saying true/false, simply pointing out the differences.
No, not a bash. I never received a reply. I originally posted that I questioned Q's partnership since it's not reciprocated at Orbitz's site (ie.no listing of Q) I sent my email to the email link on the partners page, not the general customer service one. Again, the reply you received points you to a page on Q's site.
Still sounds fishy. I never got a reply from orbitz and the link you provided is located at Q's site, not Orbitz's. I'm not calling you a liar at all, I'm saying it sounds/looks fishy since Q is not listed at Orbitz's site as a partner.
Here's the orbitz partners page. I do not see QTelevision listed anywhere. I would think if Orbitz considered Q a partner, as Q seems to think, they would list them on their partners page. No?

OT: Thanks hop for the concern. Everything is fine. I am all for being positive however, you must keep at least a 50% believability about it. Being all Polly Anna about it and "nevermind the man behind the curtain" doesn't do anyone any good. It's like I'm trying to concentrate on being neutral regarding the information while someone is chattering in my ear, "Frank is God. There are hidden clues in each PR of how great the company is." etc... I want to be open to all the information, but sort out the overly positive, blind pumping that goes on here. Ugh. For all the bashers, there are equal amounts of pumpers and blind sheep.
Ah, Point taken. I think more is needed than just a good idea though. I must admit, I haven't seen too much lately other than broken promises and misleading/missing PRs.
I am hopeful and trying to keep a conscious grasp on both the positives AND negatives regarding this company. I feel both are needed to asses their current operating practices and thus, future potential.
I guess I was feeling the negativity of my Q concerns and judging myself as a basher... When I read your post, for some odd reason, (and I totally take responsibility for it) I felt like it was directed at me. When I don't read the board for a couple days, I jump back a couple pages and try to read as much as I can to catch up. I lost sight of who said what and to whom. No offense taken, certainly none intended.
Should have put a smiley face in that post. I thought your post was funny, which is why I replied with the same acronym.
ISTFU for now...
zandant/Skunks: It'd be nicer to see the Q logo on Orbitz's site. Heck, I'll put the orbitz logo on MY site if you like to see it so much. Anyone can put a link to anyone elses site on their own site. It doesn't show anything other than a link to another website. Orbitz would gladly welcome ANY link to their site from another. They wouldn't question it if it weren't true, they'd welcome the extra traffic to their site.
Also, Skunks, the more you post, the more I think you are simply maladjusted. I own stock in QBID, not ihub or this board. I support this board by reading/posting and doing things like the Letterman video, but the drive is for Q and not this board. Whether this board is ranked #1 or #200 doesn't change my investment or the future of Q one bit. If you want to call ihub your pet project, great! Don't shove it down other people's throats who come here because of Q. You're out of line and abusive most of the time and now to be pumping this board is pretty pathetic. The purpose of this board is for discussions relating to QBID. If the purpose of the board was the board itself, nobody else but you would be here.
You are real close to being the only person I have ever put on ignore and from the looks of other posts lately, I'm not the only one thinking that way.
Chill out or get a pet or something. Sheesh!
I think you misunderstood the point of my post. I never doubted the MSNBC show existed or when it was going to air. I questioned whether Q had one ready or not and that they possibly used MSNBC as an excuse to not air something they may not have aired anyway because of not being ready. If they have it in the can and ready to air (which they should have since it was to air last night), I still think Q should have aired it. I view it as they think their tribute program wasn't as good as the MSNBC one. Or that they are afraid of good ole fashioned competition. Who cares that MSNBC had a show about Liz? I would assume the Q tribute would center on Liz's support of the GLBT communities over the years and not just another hollywood celebrity story. Maybe if it was to air at the exact same time, then ratings would be down, but show what you've got and show it with pride. Don't run and hide touting, "I don't wanna air it! Their airing THEIR tribute to Liz too... boo hoo."
I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I for one don't give a rat's a#$ about this boards ranking on ihub. I come here to read about and discuss Q, nothing more.
I don't know which Sirius comparison you speak of. Didn't they jump up because of Howard Stern? J.P.Morgan thinks they've peaked and can't sustain the pps.
