THANKS!! We certainly do appreciate your effort......yeah, Richard sounds like a decent dude. Busy I bet!
I'd LOVE to get excited about the 123 station deal being "close," but we've heard it was "close" for weeks and weeks. So I won't hold my breath waiting.
So even if we get ALL of Craig's stuff, the company is STILL owned by other dudes so maybe they will satisfy "ownership by ONLY Canadians" part of the gig, then we can just be "partners."
Does anyone know what percentage of ownership Craig hs in PrideVision? I forget now.
market not open tomorrow........so I guess Monday.
Sounds like PV is attempting to save face. They are on the brink of launching a new Gay network/Channel, the LAST thing they need is for customers/investors to think is that they are the target of a buyout. Hence the denial. This looks bad to customers, investors, cable and satellite companies.
I don't think they ARE for sale actually to tell you the truth. I think Frank and Co. saw an opportunity to pounce and take down a hurt animal, a chance to combine 2 comapines into one great entity and INSTANTLY consume a huge market share ahead of LOGO or HERETV.
I'd bet that Craig and his investors were aware of the situation, obviously and were hoping to pull this off with nobody outside to come in and buy it up, especially in light of the launch/expasion, they figured they could pull it off, succeed, if they could just get by this divorce mess. In jumps QTN!
Now the offer/bid/whatever you call it from QTN goes to teh court receiver and gets heard. Personally, if the court deems the sale of Craig's assets (PrideVision) necessary to monitarily settle the ex wife's needs, they WILL use that as a source of revenue to do so, but they will find a way to get QTV in AND retain Canadian involvement.
10 minutes left in trading day/week. Obviously no PR, unless Mr. Olsen decides on an after hours PR, which he rarely does, he tends to release during the day to get a jolt in the pps.
There better be freeking news ASAP!! At LEAST an update as to how the Palm Springs week went, any potential collab's or networking, or deals that came out of it, sponsors? etc etc.
Is the Dinah Shore gig going to be in Palm Springs this weekend? All weekend? I might just head over to PS and hope to find Frank there. Thinking about it. My wife will be home by 5pm, so I might be able to head there and back before our plans for the night. No need to take pix, but maybe meet Frank and ask him point-freeking-blank........see what he says.
Andy04.........
if you have any mopre detailed infor and don't want to say it in this forum feel free to email me! Thanks
jmusmacker@illumina.com
Coming out soon? Did he give you any indication as to what "soon" means? Today? Next week? And, did he give you ANY INKLING of an idea as to what may be addressed in this "soon" to be released info?
THANKS!
We need the cheese in order to make some "cheddar." LOL
EMAILED RICHARD:
I asked him if they were going to announce on the website or in a PR the factthat Kraft seems to be a sponsor of QTN. Never heard back from him. In fact, he hasn't responded to the last few emails, where as he usually responds fairly expeditiously.
If the Q put Kraft as a sponsor in that broadcasting mag, as someone posted a few times the other night, it would be KILLER to see that in a PR!!!!!! They PR's AWA, they PR'd Orbitz, why the heck not PR Kraft???? That would give a decent little jolt as we head into a long weekend.
4/2/05 is a Saturday. Do these things usually get "formally" announced on a weekend? Don't think so. maybe 6 months ago I'd get all tingly and excited about this.......but I've learned to shrug the OOOHHHH SOOOOOOOOOOO many rumors off.
VEGAS Dave knows no details, don't ask him. He is merely baiting SOMEONE into doing what he suggets. I would if I had time to breath these days. Anyone that is unemployed or retired feel like spending and hour or so on the phone to get this info?? Would be the DD of the year.
And the rumor of it being released (PR'd) on April 2? That's a Saturday.
PrideVision thoughts......
1) Someone said that they spoke to Frank personally and HE said the PV deal is a done deal. C'mon now, do you REALLY think Frank would divuldge that to a person? That's gotta be super ilegal! Unless he had one too many margaritas last night and slipped.
2) Secondly, another person said they heard a rumor that the PR for the PrideVision acquisition will be released on April 2..........well the second is a Saturday. Do they release PR's on Saturdays?
As much...........as MUCH as I want this all to be true, you have to be cautiously optimisitc.
Sounds like a potential porn fantasy for us straight men!! Do all lesbians look and act like the ones you would find on Howard Stern's show? LOL
WRONG RALPH.
I sat in front of my computer and watched every single tick, was way too exciting to not do so.
The high WAS .0057. Some places don't have the accurate numbers on them, just plain and simple. My E-trade has had QBID, after hours, at a nickel forever! I have my E-trade account open while i have my E-trade Real-Time streamer open and the regular account pages almost never accurately reflects what the streamer says no matter how much I refresh the page.
I repeat, the high was .0057
I would strongly assume that was the PR Froy was referring to. In fact, we were only waiting for an update on Q's site from Richard BRown, wasn't expecting an actual PR.
I think it was a GREAT PR. Gives me the vibe that deal is pretty solid, a "win/win" for both parties, just need to agree upon a fair market value for PrideVision. If Craig can satisfy his chic, still make some dough with prospect of making more from QBID stock in the future, AND retain a vocal positiin on the board..........well, just sounds good to me.
READ!!!!! Look at past PR's, due your research!!!!
45??????? Well that sounds cool!
I do have an email into richard. Sometimes he's busy, sometimes he responds quickly. I will let you know, Skunks.
Yes. he an I have confirmed back and forth our information from Richard.
FROY, good work, you saved ME a call to Ricahrd! Just curious, is it ilegal or wrong SOMEHOW for Richard to tell you the 123 station deal is a done deal and it hasn't been released to the public yet? Is THAT insider information? I'm new to this, so bare with me.
THANKS!!!!
I follow you there. You'd figure they'd agree on a final pps that would be EXTREMELY equitable to them as well. Figure they said up to .01, but that might mean they assume it should be MUCH higher as to make them a truck load of dough!
I was in Palm Springs today, Sunday. I couldn't get in to the Dinah Shore gig, meaning full access to the main grounds, but YES I did get onto the course area, by what I think was a clubhouse? I did see a black Town Car with a Q symbol on a magnet thing that you put on car doors as well as 2 vans with Q logos. No, I had no digi cam, I was in town with my wife looking at different spas.....we got a spa package for my Mom for her B-day, didn't think of taking my cam. I'm a local and I just don't bring my cam around when I go for a drive usually.
I don't think the gig actually startedyet, the place looked calm and kind of dead, maybe I'm wrong but maybe it was over already? Just looked kind of mellow and empty. I think there was some crews possibly setting things up for something. Tables being unfolded and a gazillion chairs.
FROY..........seems you and I have been the only ones willing to communicate our discussions with Ricahrd to the board...........for the most part, others have been cool about it too.
As per my conversation with Richard, an email that I posted on Friday, he politely requested we give him a few days to gather his bearings regarding this deal, collect the necessary details for us in order to formulate a thorough update to us. Did he say he should have done this by Tuesday? Tuesday-ish?
CRTC might be able to spew off the standard jargon, the clear and cut laws and maybe give you a cookie cut answer, sure. But there might be some nifty behind the scenes transactions going on. I see that AALLL the time in my business with getting around patent issues, finding the smallest loppholes and stretching the laws and negotiating behind the scenes with the other organizations. There's ALWAYS ways to get around crap.......ALWAYS!!!
When you set up the electronic transfer option, just answer a few questions, type in some bank info.....you can transfer cash in and out of your bank or etrade account instantly. However, if you sell some stock and make some dough and you want to transfer THAT cash back into your bank account, even electronically, E-Trade places a short hold on the funds before they transfer it to your bank. BUT, if you want to BUY stock, you can transfer cash from your bank account to your E-trade account in like 30 seconds. Click on the :trade" tab and at the bottom of that page, maybe even just halfway down, there's a transfer funds section. But you have to take the initial set up steps first before you can do this regularly.
I HAVE E-TRADE TOO........
I usually electronically transfer funds from my bank account to my E-Trade account. The funds are available IMMEDIATELY! I have done this dozens of times with the last transfer being last Thursday.
I thought there wasn't any after hours for Pinks?
SKUNKS...........I know I was just trying to create a more dramatic comparison.
Froy, right on!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Let it go for now!!!!!!!!! F-ing CHRIST already people!!!
If you are that hard about it, call Richar yourself!!! Froy was cool enough to post what he knows, he did the work. If you are so dam picky about the F-ing wording than take the fingers out of your asses and dial the phone yourself.
Group Hug??
Hell if this deal goes through we could EASILY see 5 to 10 cents, I think it's THAT big.
I am a very VERy straight man and happily married,but if this thing hits 10 cents I will join your side for the day and play a "flute" or two. HAHAHAAH
THAT I know, see one of my last emails, a few back, I posted my email from richard. THANKS!
Any OTHER information? If you see my email, you'll see that Rich needs a few days to gather and organize the details. I think then we might get an idea of how solid it looks for US to get it and WHEN.
SKUNKS.........
a room?? This is scrapping the shack we ar ein and building a whole new masnion as far as scale of the deal is concerned baby!! LOL
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I kept positive, partly thanks to my numerous chats with Richard. This is way too dam exciting, gonna have a great weekend!
If this deal goes down, and it should unless Viacom unloads the bank account JUST to spite us, we should all be very VERY wealthy by 2006, if not 2005.
FROY........ANY more info from your chat with Big Rich????
DAM IT!!!!
My E-trade real time says 25
YEEESSSSSS 26!!!!
Give me freaking 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'MON 26!! Give me 26 you Mother F-er!!!
LOL
