And, your imbedded inference is USDA Grade-A Horsepucky. FYI: I hold more TXMC now that at any time previous - because I believe in the technology and the impending sales. In addition, I've spent enough time on the phone with Lou S. to get a feel for how the guy works, and I'm convinced he's going to kick-tushy here in the USA. He's just not the type to go around blabbing about it before it happens. As for MYCO and SYTE - those are LE's picks; and I defy you to find where I have said squat about them anywhere (unless it was in some periferral comment re: LE - which I certainly don't recall). If you have some bitch with me - lay it on me, Dude. But, don't go around bad mouthing me to my friends, when you know your comments are full of crap, aye..!! Your "..program.." certainly gives you some pretty good indications of the play; but it sure as hell can't predict unforseen major events or analyze the potential of a technology - it just follows the money; after the fact, while offering some predictions. As for QBID: I have spent 8+ months watching this situation. I have provided some 'gratis' consulting advice to Frank Olsen regarding their Fiber-Optic cable system. And, I have run down, back-checked, double-confirmed, and then pestered all of the sources again. I am currently of the opinion that the money to pay for the Dish services is sitting in TTN's bank account, awaiting the transfer order to EchoStar. The sanity check on that would be the probability that the Advertisers would put up the money for TTN to go "..on air.."; if they could back charge it against the fees they were going to have to pay QBID for advertising. The demographics support that contention, the markets want those people's spendable cash; and they want it NOW. Without a cousin working at whatever bank TTN uses, I can't prove the money is there; but both Frank Olsen and one of the other execs at TTN has told me the same thing on two different occassions; as late as yesterday. Some things you can chart, all the others you have to read, call, cajole, and dig up for yourself the old fashioned way - with relentless persistance. My bet is that QBID will go "..live.." on or about 04APR01; and anybody who's not on a financial penaut butter-&-jelly diet would be wise to try and glom a chunk of shares at 0.01 or under during the MFMMM games leading up to that date. The stock pimp's "..FAKEY-BREAKY (..back-step, side-step, hop n' skip..) PSUEDO SELL-OFF.." yesterday supports my premise on that end. John :-)
