iQSTEL Inc (IQST)

[dh_]

I'm still here and I haven't sold a share. I had a trip to do and got back, but I'm still watching IQST and the board and really there isn't much to talk about right now I think.

Everyone pretty much agrees the company looks good, and the positives have been restated over and over. Makes no difference. We are in a bad market environment and the only real positive I think, is all this has nothing to do with the company's performance.

If our .08 shares had slowly climbed to $.48 from last year and just now happened I imagine we would be somewhat happy, yet hoping for more. I am down on some shares bought since so I can relate to those with losses.

Maybe the worst thing about a drop that has nothing to do with company performance is that it makes no sense to start with, so there is no calling the bottom. The bottom only happens when it finally reaches a point where it looks like such a bargain the tide can not be stopped. We can blame MM's and short's, but what we need is buyers.

Now I do think there are probably those that have it all figured out how many of us are left, and how many more of us can be persuaded to give up. And they won't stop until they are done. For that reason, there really isn't anything for us to do to try to fix the issue. You just have to decide if you are in or out. I doubt it makes much difference to anyone but you.

But to get real buyers, retail or otherwise we need to see some solid results. You are right, I have been waiting for the 10-Q to get a better idea where we stand. We have got to see some margin improvement IMO. It don't have to be super improved, but it needs to show improvement, and more so each quarter. That's the best path out of this I think.

Luckily the new product offerings going out now should do just that, and I hope they improve telecom margins too. But as much as we believe, we need to see it in the numbers. It may take a few quarters to really gain traction. I can guarantee that every feeling that people have today was felt back in October/November when we were trading up and down around $.08

One thought I have had, perhaps open for discussion, is whether the locking up of shares at a high sell price helps us or works against us? If a broker will loan out your shares anyway, and you have "played your hand" by saying you won't sell until $10 (or even $2), then doesn't that tell him he can loan away because he knows he don't have to hold your shares tight - no way it is going to $10 anytime soon?

But again, I am anxious to see the 10-Q and any other new developments they may disclose, and you can bet I will look it over with all the attention I can bring. For now, it's hard to watch this going the way it is, but IMO this company only looks stronger than ever to me, and long planned ventures are only just starting. I suggest to anyone, to live your own version of reality, whatever you believe it is, and not the one that has been painted for you.

So after a long read, I suggest try another if you wish:
