MQ delisted from NYSE, CBay gone private - OldieButNotGoody2Shoes

Posted: Jan 17, 2012

My husband and I stay up on the stock market and I have been watching MQ and Cbay for about a year. I just noticed today that they have been delisted and gone to pink sheet which means their stock consistently fell below the $5.00 mark. Just a year ago it was $16. Also, CBay has gone private and claims it is an American Company. It is not, it is now privately owned by an Indian company doing business with corporate offices in London. I don't know what this means for the employees but it usually is not good. It has gone downhill steadily for so long now. I am sorry for anybody who still works there unless you are treated very nicely, which I was not after nearly 7 years of service.

NOT TRUE - mb

Wall St. Journal site says stock price is $10.17 as of today. Can't find anything about delisting. What are you trying to start here? It was delisted for a time last year, though.

That is MQ Holdings honey, not the same - OldieButNotGoody2Shoes

I don't have to start anything. I no longer work for them. Before you try to tell me something about the stock market, maybe you need to learn something about it.

MQ is owned by SOROS. - MT

Spheris was held by George Soros and Warburg -- of international bankster fame. We all know that Spheris was a horrible international sweatshop, a globalist's dream.

Now Georgie Porgie has his grimy fingers in the MedQuist pie. That alone is reason to avoid MQ like the plague.

Both of You are WRONG or massively misinformed - OldieButNotGoody2Shoes

You are completely wrong. MQ is NOT owned by Soros. It is own by MQ Holdings who is owed by CBay. Get your facts straight. Both of you are wrong!

MQ bought Spheris. Check the white sheets - OldieButNotGoody2Shoes

Spheris was gobbled up by MQ but MQ like their business model and adopted it. Stupid move. MedQuist Holdings has bought several small companies lately that have been and are still poorly producing. Try going to the google finance and you will see that MQ has been pink sheeted.

This is the one that shows that MQ Inc has be delisted and gone to pink sheet. http://www.google.com/finance?q=PINK%3AMEDQ

This is where Cbay, who owns MQ Holdings and MQ Inc have gone private. http://www.google.com/finance?q=CBay+Inc.

and this one shows where MQ Holdings stock analysis: http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AMEDH

I love when someone euphemistally tells me to put up or shut up, here you go. By the way, you don't have to remain unwashed slaves, soap is cheap and water is free.

Water is not free, I pay $100 a month for it!! - poormt

I have an automatic Google search for anything MQ. This link was emailed to me today. I know very little about the stock market. I am hoping maybe one of you who know much more than I on this subject, can interpret this.

It's basically a summary of their finances for the quarter/year, and some information on next years projections. Kind of a rah-rah brochure. All companies put them out. Pretty boring overall, personally, but good if you have insomnia =]

Addendum - anon

Sorry, all public companies put them out--your private little guy most likely won't.

need to read more carefully -oldie is incorrect - MQ

http://www.google.com/finance?q=PINK%3AMEDQ...did you not notice when sending the link it stops last year...I wonder why that could be ..

http://uk.reuters.com/business/quotes/MEDH.O/key-developments/article/2383632

Oh yes I think that might be it - what a waste of time, so MedQ was on the pink sheets last year but the shares were exchanged for MedQ holdings which was Cbay holdings who bought MedQ previously but changed their name. MedQ holdings owns MedQ, Cbay transcription, Mmodal and others.

Remind me not to take stocks and shares advise from you!

Still so wrong. The info was correct. - OldieButNotGoody2Shoes

Maybe you work for corporate, maybe you are speculating. I'm not trying to start anything here. However, you'd do well IF you took stock tips IF I gave them. I've made more money in the last 2 years in the market than I have in the last 10 years of regular employment.

Your initial post was incorrect... - MQ

[ In Reply To ..]
Regardless of your money making success on the stock markets the info you posted was incorrect and that is my only point:

http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/morning_roundup/2011/03/medquist-holdings-to-delist.html

They voluntary delisted per the link above and as the link you provided for the pink sheets showed they stopped trading all together last year when they did an exchange .

I full accept you posted in good faith, just the info you provided on this topic was incorrect. If I am incorrect and can show me why (i.e. a link showing they delisted this year) then I apologies.

I was not treated at all well by them in the error of the line-counting debacle. I hope their karma comes back to punch them in the face, I really do.

I meant ERA not error. But ERROR would be right, too, They many many ERRORS in counting our lines. Too late. Time to go to bed.

The easiest way to find out is to just go to google finance and you will see that it is still delisted. Maybe you don't know enough about the stock market.

just admit you are wrong? Really - MQ

Your first post stated:

"My husband and I stay up on the stock market and I have been watching MQ and Cbay for about a year. I just noticed today that they have been delisted and gone to pink sheet which means their stock consistently fell below the $5.00 mark. "

As I stated in my initial reply, the google finance link you posted shows MedQuist Inc was delisted FROM THE PINK SHEETS last year Oct 18th as all shares were exchanged for MedQuist Holdings. Medquist inc voluntarily delisted from the nasdq in april 2011

references which support my statement

http://www.wikinvest.com/stock/Medquist_Inc_%28MEDQ%29/News/3128531/MedQuist_Holdings_Completes_Short-Form_Merger_for_Remaining_MedQuist_Inc._Shares

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medquist-inc-gives-notice-of-intent-to-voluntarily-delist-from-nasdaq-118608259.html

As you can see I am not saying they didn't delist just 1) they are not on the pink sheets and 2)their stock didn't fall.

If you can provide any proof of what you have been stating please post a link to back up your words as I have done several times, or just admit you made a mistake - we all make them.

What errors in line counting? Have you actually checked jobs - and run numbers? I have found no errors. nm
