Hi jarvis,
What a company usually buys is intellectual property, patents, assets, liabilities in some unusual circumstances, existing contracts that are of interest to the buyer, from time to time the retention of some valuable personnel (..scientists-softheads-engineers-inventors-etc..), and occassionally some public "..good will.." - of which QBID has none.
It doesn't really matter if a company is pink, green, purple or NYSE if the object of the suitors desire is precieved to be an advantage to their ongoing operations or intended expansions.
Being Pink is obviously not a PLUS in anybody's book. But, it doesn't preclude a buyout or a Pip-squeak by a Shreck if the acquisition is deemed advantageous.
Hopefully, the suitor is smart enough to leave Fatso stuck with settling all his failure-to-pay lawsuits.... I'd hate to see him get off the hook with all the people he's shafted to get to the point of selling out.
A buyout of QBID by ANY entity with a decent reputation, some fluidity, and an effective management team would be a Godsend at this juncture, IMHO.
John :-)
