thedragon, are they in talks with Dupont? [NYSE:DD] I did a little snooping around today and discovered that Home Depot ONLY carries Tyvek. They don't even have their own generic brand. Down here in the Panhandle the 9ft.x 150ft. is $143.00.
Lowes has Tyvek but theirs says Top Choice [which I guess is their private label] and that goes for $104.62 for 9ft. x 150ft. roll.
Then there is the local generic stuff at the mom & pop lumber stores but they were already closed so I couldn't find out anything.
Anyways DIFFLEX would be a huge hit for humid areas and rainy areas and snowy areas as when the moisture gets in between the siding and the wood frame the Tyvek doesn't have that ph factor that would prevent a mold presence.
Accordingly, DIFFLEX could takeover the entire marketplace if it's priced competitively.
Now about the roofing product, I can't comment. I know that there wouldn't have been any water damage to any home that lost their shingles in the hurricane if the homes used that peel & seal aluminum roll waterproof product instead of felt.
But as we know, felt is cheaper and builders are going to use the cheapest unless the homeowner specifies or maybe pays xtra for a higher grade roofing material. The peel & seal aluminum is 3 or 4 x the cost of felt paper. But the builders want more $$ in their pockets and they do shop around for the best prices on this sort of building material.
So if DIFFLEX could be manufactured and again be competitively priced it would be a winner. I think insurance companies at some point might give a tiny discount to homes that use peel & seal or DIFFLEX instead of felt in states that have tornados & rain and hurricanes.
The bottom line is Tyvek is your only choice for house wrap pretty much and any new & improved house wrapping product or at least another choice would probably be very welcomed in the building industry. You always got to have a choice and Tyvek is a monopoly pretty much.
This company will charge here in the United States. Hope they've arranged or cinched a deal with a Home Depot or Lowes. In fact, it might be enticing for Home Depot to get its own private label using DIFFLEX. Now that would be something. Dupont should be worried about Tyvek...if another comparably priced superior product arrives on the market.
antibacterial and more importantly MOLD is a huge buzz word in the building industry and in the housing industry in general.
Just my two cents.

Coattec Industries, Inc.-CTCX/ Announcement
BELLEVUE, Wash.
11/2004 [it's time, you can tell by trading]
Coattec Industries, Inc.
Bernd Meinecke, 425-646-8500
Coattec Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CTCX) is pleased to announce plans for entering the roofing foil and house-wrap production and marketing in the United States based on the know-how obtained through the recently signed license agreement with European Environmental Technology Corporation (EETC), Ltd.
Coattec-CTCX plans to immediately commence a market and geographic study for their US site to manufacture and distribute their line of roofing foils and house-wrap under their brand name DIFFLEX.Coattec-CTCX anticipates commencement of North American operations by the first quarter 2005. The market in North America for Coattec's DIFFLEX products is estimated at over a billion dollars. The current US market is dominated by Dupont (NYSE:DD) and its Tyvek brand in the house wrap and roofing foil products; Coattec believes their products offer a superior alternative to this product. The DIFFLEX product is based on a coated PP textile foil with better properties in regard to tear and noise, both very important factors in the building industry. As well DIFFLEX technology has a significant antibacterial component; in reaction with air humidity it forms a Ph value on the surface of the foil of 12 to 14! Because of these benefits Coattec is extremely confident in the US market.
In addition to the housing markets Coattec coatings have multiple consumer and industrial applications to be exploited at a later stage, for example for filtration products that have under gone significant testing in the UK and Japan, (98%-99.5% effective elimination of bacterial properties).
Coattec potential clients in the USA are:
-- Home Depot (NYSE:HD)
-- Allied Building Products
-- Lowe's (NYSE:LOW)
-- 84 identified Lumber Company
-- Lumber Building Centers
-- Other regional wholesalers and construction companies.
Coattec is in the process of implementing an effective communication structure for investors and customers. Additional information will be forthcoming in the very near future.
About Coattec Industries, Inc.
Coattec Industries, Inc. has an exclusive license to manufacture and market EETC Ltd.'s technology and products in North America. The technology consists of a number of proprietary formulas for polyurethane and polyacrylit based coatings in an environmentally safe and friendly manner. The technology allows for application of a multi use chemical materials with characteristics combining resistance to fire and ultra violet rays, flexibility and pliability as well as abilities to hold color and finishes for long periods of time. The material is used as both a coating product and process that is capable of hosting important additives such as coloration, antibacterial materials, electric conductive materials, as well as a raw material used in manufacturing products such as vapor barriers for housing which are effective substitutes for tar-lined paper and alike products with greater elasticity and equal or superior performance characteristics and generally improved cost economies.

Coachphil race report:
http://www.ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CLB01219&read=163256
Hello All,
I started my day driving to Phx to see my first race, From Tucson to Phx is about an hour so I had sometime to prepare for the Questions I was going to ask. I arrive arround 8am and was the first shareholder to enter the trailer area set up for CMKX shareholders. I was met by Jim Dunns son who asked if I was a shareholder and I said yes. He went into the trailer and got me a red shirt, he said this is your ticket to get in and out of the VIP area. He then gave me the nichol tour of the area, showed me where all the coffee and snacks were.
He then asked if I had ever met Ron C. and I said no. He said that Ron would be here soon and would introduce us later.
Later came and sure enough we met, we exchanged hello's and had some small chit chat. After my tour with Ron I asked him "I cant wait until the company and shareholders can talk" and Ron replied "Soon", there is alot going on right now, and we have alot to tell you.
He asked if I had seen UC and Carolyn, I replied no and he said come with me, we walked outside the trailer and there he was. We introduced each other, he asked if I had ever been to the races before and I replied no. UC then showed me arround the VIP area and we came upon these maps, he pointed to a map I hadnt seen before and showed me JNR and spoke about Uranium said in his opinion that stock will be trading at 40.00 in the future. Then pointed to an area just North of them and said thats us CMKX, I got a wink and we continued our tour.
Then it was time to see our car run and UC and Carolyn took me upto the stands and we watched my first race. Uc was so Gracious with his comments and put his arm arround my shoulder and asked how was it? I smiled and said this is great. After both cars ran we three walked back to the pits, when we got back lunch was being served so the three of us sat down and ate lunch together. After lunch UC and I went outside the VIP area to have a smoke. While out there I asked UC Are we having another shareholder get together this year? I felt like a F18 pilot being waved off an approach on a flattop. Both hands waiving no no lets not bring that up, We both laughed.
While back inside I noticed a large man with a bushy mustache. He said his name was Emmerson, he explained to a couple of us about the drilling procedure. I asked him how many rigs do we own, rent or borrow? He replied 1. He said they are looking at a different procedure in the near future. He said there is alot of permits needed for drilling, such as tree removal etc. everything has to be done a special way.
I then asked him how many holes have we drilled THIS year and he said 40-50 holes year to date. We tried to get locations and he was vague in his response, he did mention they where looking in another area, that they cant say yet. He said the holes were 2-4" and as deep as 1200 ft but some hit kimberlite at 400'.
Then we saw UC, Ron, Topo and Mike and some others go into the trailer, they were in there for about 5 minutes and when they came out they all went to the Red CMKX car and a photo shoot took place while they put on both side windows a sticker that read "Smith Barney/ Citi." Yes a new sponsor for the one race, It will be enteresting to see if the name stays on for the sunday race.
There was alot more said but Iam tired and excited all at once. As I remember more I will type later.
But folks let me tell you SOON has a new meaning for me, All of this is to the best I can remember and I hope I haven't mis represented what I heard. Please dont read anymore or less into any statement, always do your own DD.

I hope you get in before the run Bo! Yes racing is a focus, but it appears they have been working. If this is true about the 45 to 60 drill holes to date and the horizontal shaft mine, they may well have more diamond results to report than shore gold. Time will tell but I would say one would be wise to have some set aside in CMKX. Focus on the new leadership, the exposure Cmkx is getting. I would hate to be on the sidelines when they file. GLTY as always!!!

Oily, yes, Huge HUGE market. And Indium is in very short supply world wide. Those copmpnies have to have indium to make flatscreens and monitors. Question is does CIM have Indium. Of course we do, because we have Zinc and you get indium from zinc deposits if you use the right processing. Emmmm Emmmmmmm!! wonder if there is a stockpile of Zinc and Indium waiting for an IPO of CIM. It would make me very happy if this was true and is very likely.

ANY doubts my wife or I had about CMKX investment were erased. Urban and crew are a classy act imo. Oh yeah....got my T shirt. Urban posed for pics for my wife and then gave her the thumbs-up sign. Yes, Smith-Barney financed one or more of our runs and I saw Urban and one of his staff put Smith-Barney decals on the car window.
Met several CMKX posters and Topo was there.
There was a map of our claims and someone from CMKX was telling folks that they dug a large bore shaft-fortified the walls with cement....and have been going perpendicular to see what they could find. Every exploratory shaft has yielded diamonds. No wonder everyone was smiling!
As to the racing setup....no small operation. My wife actually liked watching the funny cars LOL...who would have thought!

Jabberjaw,
your very welcome, glad I made you happy!
I've been listening to Paltalk and listening to the guys coming home from the race.
Coachphilm and Johnnym66 . Coachphilm sat with Urban and Carolyn at the races and talked to him for 2 or 3 hours today. Said Urban was very gracious as usual and very tight lipped. Showed them some things on the map.
When they asked Urban when CMKX would be forthcoming with info to shareholders, he said Urban just looked him in the eye and winked and said soon.
It was exciting to listen to these guys be so excited. Their ready to buy more on Monday, lol.

jawz: THE PHENOMENON OF RISING ACCUMULATION
VS
A DECLINE IN THE PRICE PER SHARE (PPS)
IS CALLED "DIVERGENCCE"
A MAJOR DIVERGENCE ALMOSTS ALWAYS HERALDS A PPS BREAK-OUT OR EXPLOSION !!
This is due to the fact imho that market makers spend a considerable period of time accumulating shares to fill their inventories for liquidity at the break-out and for maximum profits as they sell inthe future at ever higher prices.
In the case of CMKX in particular, we have the situation of naked short MMs needing to cover their position, which many believe may have been equal to SEVRAL TIMES the ENTIRE Legitimate O/S.
So, the MMs imho are BOTH covering and Going LONG.
There are also other smart money "WHALE" buyers accumulating imho who do not need fully reporting status to know that CMKX is free money no matter what its valuation and how large its O/S.

Distribution bottomed & Accumulation started April 14 2004

Q: WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A MAJOR "DIVERGENCE" such as CMKX has had since June 12, 2004 to the present?
HISTORICALLY, A MAJPR DIVERGENCE OF ACCUMULATION VS PPS HERALSDS A "BREAK-OUT" OR PPS "EXPLOSION"
In the case of CMKX, it will imho indeed be the eruption of "Mount Saint Helen's" to recall the image evoked by Melvin, the former CMKX Investor Relations Representative.

The question about "Where are the shares coming from?" I have written about several times before.
imho, the huge volume is Urban & partners et al SELLING back to the naked shorts the counterfeit shares naked shorted which Urban et al BOUGHT over the past year or longer.
This, UC is SHRINKING the O/S - which imho includes the "fake" shares - by SELLING (NOT BUYING) back to the naked shorts their own counterfeit shares, which cease to exist once returned to the naked MM.

Tramp was telling people about the sswh buyout at .25 to .50 (that was before the r/s by the way) quite the mad pumper, cim open at 20 dollars a share is almost as bad as the 60 to 100 dollar per share prediction for CMKX. Good Ole American roughneck, but stock prognosticator NO! LOL
The slides from "The Trader" showing those working with microscopes reminds me of the discovery show where Stewart Blussom used his advanced analysis of mineral and garnetz samples. As I remember he had top secret capabilities to separate, determine and find signatures in the samples enabling him to basicaly track down blockbuster pipes (by sample location and results). From what I remember his secret methods for anylyzing samples left all others in the dust (so to speak) including Debeers. His sampling and signature reading ability lead him to find the Ekati pipe while Debeers floundered. All I can say is seeing those pics from the trader reminds me of what I saw on that program. Heres a related post of interest...

DEEPER THAN IT APPEARS???
read the bold below DIAMOND DISCOVERER WINS HIGHEST AWARD
ST. JOHN'S, NL (April 12, 2004)
The Geological Association of Canada (GAC) is extremely pleased to announce that Dr. Stewart L. Blusson, Arcon Minerals Ltd. Vancouver BC is the 2004 winner of the pre-eminent Logan Medal. The medal has been awarded annually since 1964.
The Logan Medal is the highest award of the Geological Association of Canada and is presented to an individual for sustained, distinguished achievement in Canadian earth science. Dr. Blusson was chosen for exemplary achievement in geological mapping and exploration, for his belief in North American diamonds, for his persistence in successfully conducting innovative diamond exploration, for the launch of a new Canadian industry and for his outstanding generosity to his science.
Dr. Blusson was born in Vancouver in 1938. He completed his geology degrees at the University of British Columbia and the University of California at Berkeley. His dissertation was on the geology and origin of tungsten deposits in the Flat River area along the NWT-Yukon border, including the Cantung Mine.
His Ph.D. work launched a career with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) from 1966 to 1981. His thorough familiarity with structural geology and the relationships between geological strata led to superb maps and to greatly enhanced understanding of mineral potential.
Stewart’s research played a role in the discovery of many occurrences of gold, copper, zinc, lead and other metals in Canada and the US. During the 1970s, he even learned to fly fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, to better carry out his fieldwork!
His best-known achievement is his role with Chuck Fipke in discovering diamonds in Canada’s north - an achievement made possible by his tremendous foresight, scientific leadership, and enormous commitment and perseverance.
As early as 1969, Stewart believed in the idea of Canadian diamonds. While leader of a GSC crew in the Yukon, he reasoned that diamonds occur on every continent that has a large Precambrian shield and that Canada should be no exception. But recent glaciation made exploration difficult. Chuck Fipke was a member of that crew and he was deeply impressed by Stew’s arguments.
A decade later, Stew and Chuck launched a diamond exploration program in British Columbia and they continued their search in 1980 in the Northwest Territories. Later that year they shifted east to Blackwater Lake where De Beers was already exploring. With insight into glacial history and the Canadian Shield as the likely source for indicator minerals in the area, they had the persistence to follow the indicator mineral trail 700 km east to Lac de Gras over the ensuing decade.
The property that they staked with their partners, precipitating the largest rush in North American exploration,
became the Ekati Mine. The annual production of this important mine, along with that of the new Diavik Mine, will reach 15 million carats by 2006. With a value of about US$1.5B, this will put Canada into third place in world diamond production.
Stew Blusson’s superb application of sophisticated science to the search for minerals has provided immense economic and scientific benefit to Canada. In 1998, he made a very large donation to his alma mater, the University of British Columbia, in support of research.
"Blusson I believe has got a hand in the latest dealings with cmkx and obviously didn't just start talking (working) with cmkx a couple of months ago! Again from the discovery channel program on diamond exploration Blusson beat Debeers to Ekati with his capabilities of mineral sampling. From the program I saw He had capabilities Debeers didnt have for sampling for a DIAMOND RICH PIPE. I think its a very good chance that his mineral sampling has been applied to cmkx properties. Remember certain mineral indicators can accurately determine if a pipe will be a blockbuster. From what I remember certain types of minerals and garnets appear only with a VERY diamond rich pipe like EKATI (from the discovery program)"(my comments)
GAC President Harvey Thorleifson will present the award to Dr. Blusson during the GAC Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 at the annual GAC-MAC conference at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.

lawreal... Yes, she is best known as his betrayer! But the Israelites also betrayed him...Judges 15:11-14...makes you wonder why.
Bo14172... Do you ever wonder why the Israelites betrayed and handed over Sampson to the Philistines? How much more so corrupt America to any real prophets. God will rebuke the devourer in due time I pray.
Bo I agree! Not only has PTSC gotten more than a vote of confidence from AMD(in recognizing PTSC's patent) but also it appears that AMD believes the settlement will go against INTEL by SNAPPING up shares of PTSC and working out deals with them. AMD protected their rights and use of PTSC technology by the deals and also goes to war against INTEL and thier probable(possible) infringement on use of PTSC technology and patents. As the post from sterling stated by his conversation with an officer of PTSC stated "I just recently called and talked with PTSC. I won’t say the person name because I forgot to ask him if it was ok for me to do so, but don’t just believe me, call the company to confirm what I am about to say below to if it is consistent. He told me that they are seeking royalties for their patented technology that was infringed upon by Intel.
I was told by the company that their patented technology applies to every single chip that Intel has sold that is in excess of 120 mega hertz. I was told that this includes every chip that Intel has ever sold since 1998 forward until now to include the ones they are still selling." (STERLING)
http://www.ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CLB01219&read=131789
So the backing and stregnth of AMD, a needed technology widley used and patented, and a possible mega settlement against Intel !!! A monster in the making.
P.S. I wish I had bought some up a couple of days ago after reading Sterlings post.

AMD Buys Into Patriot's Patent
By Michael Singer
AMD (Quote, Chart) skirted a potentially nasty patent lawsuit with a stock purchase and licensing agreement from Patriot Scientific (Quote, Chart).
The No. 2 chipmaker confirmed today that it bought restricted shares of Patriot stock, obtained rights to make and sell Patriot's IGNITE 32-bit stack microprocessor and obtained rights to the controversial "ShBoom" microprocessor patent portfolio in its entirety.
Additional terms of the agreements are being kept under wraps, but AMD spokesman Robert Keosheyan told internetnews.com that ultimately, the deal allows AMD to protect itself from Intel.
"This patent portfolio has been the source of some significant litigation," Keosheyan said. "Licensing the technology protects us and ensures our customers won't get sued. Purchasing of the stock basically ensures our voting rights in proxy if it is ever challenged."
The controversy centers on U.S. Patent number 5,809,336, an on-chip clocking technology found in Intel Pentium processors. Patriot Scientific, a small, San Diego-based seller of embedded microprocessors for cars and scientific equipment claims it owns the patent and sued Intel (Quote, Chart) and its Japanese partners Sony, Fujitu, Matsushita, Toshiba, and NEC last year. Patriot then turned around and put an additional 170 chipmakers and vendors on notice that they too may be liable for the patent.
Keosheyan said AMD was one of the companies put on notice but does not use the technology in any of its products and has no immediate plans to use it.
"The license allows us to change that if it becomes desirable," he said.
All litigation is on hold while Judge Jeremy Fogel with the U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif. rules on the 100 percent ownership of the 336 patent and what can be submitted for discovery, Patriot Scientific spokesman Lowell Giffhorn told internetnews.com.
Bruce Sunstein, co-founder of Boston-based IP law firm Bromberg and Sunstein said the mere fact that AMD is willing to license and invest in Patriot could signify just enough that the patents are valid.
"My guess is that there could be some 'there' there," Sustein said. "AMD thought enough about the portfolio because they thought it would succeed. They would probably rather an expense of a license to show up on their balance sheet as an investment rather than a license payout."
Sustein also noted that AMD is no friend of Intel and by helping the Patriot people, they could make life more difficult for Intel.
Additional terms of the agreement between Patriot and AMD are expected to surface once the company files its related 8K with the SEC.
I agree Bo, looks like heavy shorting to hold it at the .25 level. It could of easily ran to .35 today but they were holding it back. Past chart history does appear significant drops after peaks, but with this kind of news and the possibility of a settlement with Intel, looks like awesome possibilities. Thanks for bringing to the attention of the board.
Again With PTSC... (post by Sterling)
My feelings remain the same as I posted earlier that’s indicated below:

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz
Secretary
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street
NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609
RE: FILE NO. S7-23-03
Dear Mr. Katz:
This letter is submitted in response to the SEC's request for comments in Release No. 34-48709, dated October 29, 2003, regarding proposed new Regulation SHO, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), which, as proposed, would replace Rules 3b-3, 10a-1, and 10a-2.
Proposed Regulation SHO would, among other things, require short sellers in all equity securities to locate securities to borrow before selling and would also impose strict delivery requirements on securities where many sellers have failed to deliver the securities. As we understand the proposed Regulation SHO, the proposal is designed to address the problem of "naked" short selling.
Our response is directed to the impact of the proposed Regulation SHO on "naked" short selling, especially in thinly-capitalized securities trading over-the-counter. As referenced in your release, a short sale is the sale of a security that the seller does not own or any sale that is consummated by the delivery of a security borrowed by, or for the account of, the seller. Naked short selling is selling short without borrowing the necessary securities to make delivery, thus potentially causing a "fail to deliver" result to the buyer purchasing the securities.
Your Staff has drawn attention to the negative impact of the naked short. In effect the naked short seller unilaterally converts a securities contract (which should settle in three days after the trade date) into an undated futures-type contract, which the buyer might not have agreed to or that would have been priced differently. Amongst other negatives, the seller's failure to deliver securities may also adversely affect certain rights of the buyer, such as the right to vote. However, we believe most importantly, naked short sellers enjoy greater leverage than if they were required to borrow securities and deliver within a reasonable time period, and they use this additional leverage to engage in trading activities that deliberately depress the price of a security.
The Commission has stated that it believes that the SRO requirements have not fully addressed the problems of naked short selling and extended "fails to deliver" and that the commission believes it would be beneficial to establish a uniform standard specifying the procedures for all short sellers to locate securities for borrowing. Proposed Regulation SHO, Rule 201 would apply to securities not currently covered under Rule 10a-1. Proposed Regulation SHO's marking requirement would apply to all sell orders of equity securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, including, exchange-listed, Nasdaq NMS and Small Cap, OTC:BB, Pink Sheets and any other securities registered under 12(g).
We are aware that in some instances, issuers have taken actions to attempt to make transfer of their securities "custody only," thus preventing transfer of their stock to or from securities intermediaries such as the Depository Trust Company (DTC) or broker-dealers. Additionally, in some instances we have been made aware of issuers requesting that we attempt to withdraw their issued securities on deposit at DTC, which makes the securities ineligible for book-entry transfer at a securities depository. Further, in one case an issuer went so far as to request that we have a new cusip number issued in conjunction with a withdraw from DTC. We recognize that the withdraw of the securities from DTC or requiring custody-only transfers undermines the goal of a national clearance and settlement system, which is designed to reduce the physical movement of certificates in the trading markets. The custody-only transfers generally results in significant delays and expenses in processing securities transactions and can raise safety concerns associated with lost, stolen and/or forged certificates.
We concur with the Staff's opinion that securities with lower market capitalization may be more susceptible to abuse and therefore believe that the proposed additional delivery requirements should be extended to all equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, we believe that the proposed standard specifying the procedures for all short sellers should apply to any securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), which are filing reports under the Exchange Act and traded over a quotation system. In the case of the OTC:BB and the Pink Sheets there are companies which have registered their securities under the Act, which are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, but do need the protection of the proposed rule.
In general, we believe the proposed requirements, in addition to the application to filers under the Act, would assist the Commission in preventing abuses and promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit the foregoing to the Commission. We remain ready to discuss our comments with the Commission staff.
Yours truly,
Stoecklein Law Group
===================================
This above righteous support and well needed fight for SHO and all that it stands for adds another reason - REASON 4 - of why The Stoecklein Law Group and CMKM Diamonds, Inc. are PERFECT TOGETHER.......from my prior post (link below):

*Stoecklein & CMKM Diamonds: PERFECT TOGETHER!.......
from xxdiamondchildxx (sterlings board)
CMKX Shareholders, I am sure there are more reasons yet discovered by us that make The Stoecklein Law Group and CMKM Diamonds, Inc. ideal for each other, but here are three of the above mentioned reasons (IMO) of why these two entities are the perfect fit:
REASON ONE:
http://www.sandiego.com/sdbusiness.jsp?id=311
""San Diego attorney Donald J. Stoecklein, of the Stoecklein Law Group, is one of scores of people who wrote to the SEC late last year, urging the agency to take action against naked short selling.
"Naked short sellers enjoy greater leverage than if they were required to borrow securities and deliver within a reasonable time period, and they use this additional leverage to engage in trading activities that deliberately depress the price of a security," Stoecklein explained
He said he represents a company whose stock was about to be listed on the Berlin exchange but ultimately was not. He declined to disclose the company's name.
Stoecklein does not represent Molecular Imaging or FemOne.""
CMKX Shareholders, does Naked Shorting sound familiar to us? I think we all know the answer to that.
=================================
REASON TWO:
http://www.slgseclaw.com/pennystock.htm
""Conclusion
In conclusion, we concur with the staff’s opinion that the proposed amendments are consistent with the public interest and would promote efficiency, competition and capital formation by providing greater protections for investors, thus increasing investor confidence and involvement in the securities of small businesses.
We do believe that any burden on capital formation as a result of the proposed amendments will pale in comparison to the burden placed on capital formation as the result of the implementation of Section 404, assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley.
Yours truly,
/S/Donald J. Stoecklein
Stoecklein Law Group""
The two quotes "providing greater protections for investors, thus increasing investor confidence and involvement in the securities of small businesses" & "implementation of Section 404, assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley"........all equate to fighting for the investor and a respect for corporate disclosure and governance. These are the goals and mantra of Urban Casavant, his company, and it's resulting positive effects for his shareholders. It is interesting the respect The Stoeklein Law Group has for Sarbanes-Oxley in that S-O is Roger Glenn's baby (see the connection shareholders).
==============================
REASON THREE:
As described by a Yahoo search of Donald Stoecklein referring to the above link in REASON TWO, it states....."The Stoecklein Law Group is dedicated to providing corporate and securities legal advice to emerging growth companies."
In the above description, the key words are "LEGAL ADVICE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES"......boy, that sure seems to be what is going on with CMKM Diamonds, Inc.. Get the idea that this is one of the MAJOR reasons Stoecklein is here....to get this EMERGING CMKM Diamonds, Inc. company rolling.
----------------------------------------
All of the above is IMHO.
God Bless to all!
Peter
