#9524 RE: Reindl #9519

Reindi...I am not finding the folks who are here for a long time being 3 to 6 years or the very short term *investors* questioning TMM this time around...I think they feel TMM is on the right path, doing the right things and giving ample evidence they are moving toward a *hard* launch....

however, the day traders very well could be frustrated that the return on their money just isn't happening in their time frame and they are moving out and on to other stocks...IRISHBULL is an example of a daytrader and IRISH is not the only one...if you do a search on QBID in the IHUB site you will see the other boards are also in and out of QBID because of the quick money turnaround/lack of quick money turnaround...

to me, this is not our problem....we (the 3 to 5 year folks and the most recent *investor* folks) are here for the launch and the daily fluctations, while not comfortable, are going to happen because of the day and swing traders....

I believe this statement from TMM's response to you:

No matter what we do, there are always people who say it isn't good enough or fast enough or what THEY want

has to be very frustrating for TMM...it is true no matter what they do we are not satisfied....

for me I keep one thing in mind...

if it weren't for Frank Olsen and his group with their persistance I would not be in this financial position today. With the recent addition of Barbara Lamont I find myself less and less wondering *if* TMM is going to launch and more and more wondering (with enthusiam) *when* TMM will launch...in other words if it's July 15th and not July 1st I will be disappointed, not because it was delayed, but because I am so anxious to see TMM's programming after all this time....you will find Reindi TMM has a very loyal long term shareholder base and while their primary objective is to make money I believe their primary equal objective is for TMM to succeed....

this is my opinion....and thanks for taking the time to post your email and TMM response

I wrote Qbid following mail and got following answer. Maybe someone is interested in that:

Hello Susan,
thanks as ever for the quick response.
I switched on my computer and recognized that we are down again. Whats wrong? Such a good idea at the right moment and we are going down.
I think the problem is: I read in many message boards that a lot of people don´t think that it is for real this time. Maybe many of them were in Qbid when you last try to launch and so they are distrustful. Well the test launch is a good thing but it doesn´t point out that it is sure that we will launch this time.
One single PR that states that there is a contract with a big advertizer or a cable company which carries us would take away a lot of insecureness and would fire the share price to the moon in my oppinion.
What I want to say is that most of the people think you will fail again (not me).
See this mail just as a feedback from an investor.

Response:
I understand people's skepticism in view of past promises made and not kept. The bottom line is that we are here and doing our very best to get this network up and running. We can't make any guarantees - no one can predict the future - but we are doing everything possible to get Q on the air and to make it high quality, excellent programming and a success. I don't know why the stock is going down, but I think those people who sell now will regret it later. No matter what we do, there are always people who say it isn't good enough or fast enough or what THEY want.

Reindl, that is an interesting post that you made on 5-19-04,
Msg# 9519.

I wonder if Susan has any idea why the stock is down now?

You don't suppose that it might be down because Susan said that we would get a joint PR with a "Big Cable Company" about a "Contract" and "Advertisers" later this week via the qbid hotline on Monday, Do You ? Now it's Friday and There is no PR.

.....BTW, Everything that she stated in the hotline message on monday is Exactly what you suggested to Susan in the email that you sent to her, concerning what would move the pps. Which is interesting also.
It is Exactly what you told her that it would take to move the stock. Exactly !

I wonder if Susan knows why the price of the stock is down now ?

I wonder if Susan took it upon herself to record that hotline message on monday without consulting Frank or Steve ?

Actually I am beginning to wonder a lot of things about Susan
(Does she have any supervision when frank and steve are not in the office),
the 16 city media blitz,
the advertising campaign that was to start on Monday,
Qbid, and it's future.
LOL, The Interview with Dan Rather, ROTFL.
