Don't think so, that has nothing to do with the free trading market....I'm no expert, but based on what others have said, those rules have nothing to do with market prices and how they are determined.
Actually, Ruf the Duf has done nothing right.....
You're on, I'll put up 10k..... that it'll be under 1.00....
Chance of CSHD going to $25 <5%
Chance of CSHD going to $0-.02 >95% IMO
I have no position in this stock, and will take none.
It reminds me of UPCA from 1999 in its implausibilty.
I would never call them and ask that, because, one, such rumors don't concern me; and, two, I KNOW, that whether the SEC is investigating or not, they won't tell you either way.
You can surely surmise that. But, imo, they are being scrutunized by the SEC. I've been around the smelly penny market for many years, and have owned several stocks that were halted, investigated and sanctioned and/or delisted by the SEC. This one appears to be a very egretious violator. Again, imo.
And neither has Rufus the doofus.....all we have is his sensationalistic words, and some unaudited numbers on an 8-K. And, in the past, his word has not been good for much, as little that he's claimed has ever come to fruition.
Correct, they won't say yes they are, or no they aren't investigating.
You are spot on....and bohogirl is 100% wrong. Perhaps she has selective hearing or ran into an agent that was a neophyte.
I gaurantee you that more folks than Our-Street and Stocklemon have filed complaints. So the SEC has good reason to be aware of this ongoing saga, with its bold and almost certainly illegal claims.
Thanks for the bald faced lies.
Right arm, Bud, and far out! If only you had stock we could buy!
yawwwnnnnnnnnnnnn.
The only other stock's board that I spend time on as a "scambuster" is NMCX...which was revoked once already by the sec when it was HCCA....well, occasionaly I visit GPGI's board, another desert dirt scam. That one claims they can get huge amounts of platinum from ground water!!!
Sure, just upload it to an image hosting site like flickr, imagestation, photobucket, webshots, to name a few.....then post the url here.
Don't you mean "buy" this award?...after a soliciting phone call...LOL. leave it to Rufus the dufus....
I wonder how many other Georgia citizen's are sharing the "award" with him?
"Rufus needs to issue a retraction PR immediately, as this makes him, or whoever issued it, look like a fool......."
"look like" ??...the dufus IS, imo
Wrong, OTCBB companies can't. The allowable reasons given for halting a stock hve been posted here. Except for an SEC suspension, none of them apply here. Do a board search back 10 days or so....
Dead wrong. The SEC moves slowly....my guess is, they have reviewed the issues here, and if they agree that things are not right, will be more likely to move after audited financials are filed.
Bully for you and your grey matter. What no one knows is whether any of Rufus's claims will come to fruition. My guess is, he is all fluff, bluff, and no substance.
Much more realistic "basher" article:

A Requiem for the message boards
Once a boards enthusiast, our columnist explains why he's had it.
By David Futrelle
If you ever feel like making a lot of enemies in a hurry, wander onto the message boards at Yahoo!, Silicon Investor or Raging Bull and say something less than flattering about, oh, any stock you feel like. It doesn't matter if that company's CEO has fled to the Caymans with his hairdresser and a briefcase full of Ben Franklins. If you persist in your criticism for more than a post or two, you'll quickly find yourself the least popular person at the party. In fact, you'll find yourself labeled a "basher"--roughly the equivalent of being charged with high treason.
Stock message boards have long been celebrated as a democratizing force in the world of finance. This is a crock. They are democracies only if you share the same rosy opinions as everyone else there. Whenever a basher speaks up (and basher, mind you, is liberally defined--it can apply not just to a poster who accuses a company chairman of pedophilia but to anyone who might note that 120 times earnings is an awful lot to pay for a share of Cisco) you can be sure that someone (or a half-dozen someones) will tear into him with all the subtlety of Mao's Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
It's a truism on the boards that anyone who has anything critical to say about a company must be a short-seller (an investor who has placed a bet that a stock will go down rather than up). Perhaps this is true. But many basher-bashers have also convinced themselves that most stock critics are the minions of vast (usually unnamed) short-selling cabals that pay handsomely for pessimistic posts. Various documents purporting to explain "How Bashers Get Paid" circulate widely. One claims that bashers are paid (by whomever or whatever it is that pays them) according to the number of replies their posts generate. "A basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each," says the anonymous text.
Basher paranoia is somewhat more understandable on the penny-stock boards, where stock manipulation is rampant. But there the real problem isn't the bashers--it's the boosters. In a pump-and-dump scheme, hypesters buy a worthless stock, tout it incessantly and then dump their holdings for a quick profit after enough suckers have piled on. Strangely enough, while the Securities and Exchange Commission has brought plenty of cases against Net pump-and-dumpers in the past few years, it has yet to find a single bash-for-pay conspiracy in action.
Since they stand to gain when others lose, it is easy to demonize stock bashers and short-sellers, to see them as "black of heart," as Wall Street wag Fred Schwed put it in his 1940 classic Where are the Customers' Yachts? After all, isn't it somehow un-American to hope a company fails, somehow evil to want a stock to go down? Maybe so, but even Schwed affirmed that a wide diversity of opinions on stocks is better than a single Pollyannaish view. "Dictatorships always immediately ban short-selling, since it is axiomatic that no professional pessimists are going to be tolerated," Schwed quipped at a time when Americans had good reasons to worry about foreign dictators. "But whatever the reader may think of totalitarian philosophy in general, I do not think he will envy them for the condition of their security markets."
Just three or four years ago, stock message boards promised to become a liberating force, a public forum free from the tyranny of the experts, where investors could go to compare notes on stocks and hash out disagreements about valuations. Today the boards can only be regarded as a failed experiment. Remember the so-called Iomegans at the Motley Fool during the late 1990s--the herd of investors who convinced themselves that a small computer disk-drive manufacturer in Utah was the next Microsoft and then proceeded to follow the stock off a cliff? That may have been the first indication that stock evaluation is not best done by committee. And these days it's hard to find any message board that hasn't degenerated into an embarrassing squabble between dogmatic longs and beleaguered (if equally dogmatic) shorts. For most serious investors, it can finally be said: Stock message boards are an utter and total waste of time.
At its root, the boards' problem rests with their mix of unquestioning, optimistic conviction and intolerance of dissent. These are two qualities you can find in many moments of America at its worst. The mandatory positivity many posters want to enforce is reminiscent of the blandly dogmatic (and thus menacing) Boosters' Clubs satirized by Sinclair Lewis in his 1922 novel Babbitt. The clubs, fraternal organizations for gung-ho local businessmen, offered "Booster Brothers" a place they go could go to exchange business cards and snappy pleasantries--so long as they didn't suggest that anything was less than peachy keen. Never was heard a discouraging word--it was practically in the bylaws. There was quite a bit of this sort of boosterism in the '20s. You may recall how that decade ended.

Willy wizard???!!! Aarrggh...what a scumbag.
So you think and say. I'll believe it when I see it. Did you also fall for the idiotic rumor that CMKX might have a value in the trillions of dollars?
You should check out the other X, NMCX. It's right up your alley. Longs have been hoping for a miracle for years with it....
It'll be interesting to see you trying to wipe the dried egg off your face, come Tuesday when there's still no 10-K....
P'haps you are the one that is "high" if you still persist in thinking there will ever be a halt and reset. Ain't gonna happen, though I reckon nothing is impossible.
That document describes NASDAQ rules. This is a BB listed stock, where financial filing halts are extrememly rare. IMO, we'll see a 10 trade day SEC halt soon. Following that, the stock will reopen on the pink, or worse, grey sheets. Worse case scenario is revocation of their stock registration.
The fact that the SEC hasn't stepped in yet is immaterial. There are many stocks to police, they are prolly understaffed, and they typically move slowly.
In your opinion. But, the truth will likely soon be out. My guess is this will be halted soon; and, if the SEC does it's job, revoked.
You should be more concerned about the obvious blatant lies being put out by your beloved company.
I see you like to drink the kool-aid, even as you profess to be a seasoned investor. Still believe a big payout is coming? LOL:

I happen to be a CMKX long. I also believe a payday is near.
She was late to the game and got in somewhere around $1.40, I think. Ouch.
faith....exactly when has CSHD proven anything?
Exactly....No bonafide stock company CEO would be caught dead make the idiotic utterances that Rufus and Ben have repeatedly done.
I just last night listened to the old paltalk session where he promised txprincess he'd gaurantee that she'd lose no money....that was hilarious....
what was not funny was hearing her say she'd taken out a loan against her house to buy stock....that is sad, and I feel badly for her or anyone that would ever take such a risk. Sadly, though, many have done so.
good job, mastaflash..so they exist....but those two appear to be slimeballs of the highest order.....HYIP conmen...aarrrggghh.
ROTFLMFAO, and spewed on the keyboard! Good one, Timothy!
POTD
OK.....you enjoy that kool-aid, ya hear....
So I see Canady was into the shady, scammy world of "HYIP" or high yield investment programs. 100% of these are nothing but ponzi schemes, and highly illegal.
Kudos to rufus dufus for associating with scoundrels.
good posts rygnn.....but I don't think you'll get any takers. They'll just say, read the PR's. I, like you, and many other folks capable of reasoning, are not taking Rufus's words as gospel.
good point, mninvestor. I'm actually riding on the coattails of petermic, liable, bud, Tim Miles, stocklemon and others who have done most of the sleuth work here. And, believe me, they have dug much more deeply and raised many valid points that longs and the company have been unable to refute.
Sovereignty, I would call Vit DD a "truthseeker". I have spent a lot of time on various boards exposing the truth about another ongoing, multi-year desert dirt scam, NMCX. The idea is twofold...help expose often blindly loyal longs and prospective investors to factual information about scam stocks. (or stocks that are most likely scams) For several years, I have done little trading, so have no monetary interest in these stocks.....and hate to see honest folks lose money.
Just got off work, and see your DD, liable. Good work!
Longs should not be so narrow minded and read your DD.
This is a blatant scam, and the SEC should halt it immediately, IMO....99% for sure of that. In my 25 years of penny stock experience, this is as rankly odiferous as any.
99-1 odds this is a poorly orchestrated scam, engineered by Rufus Dufus. There is no bond equity, I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts.
Just like many penny stocks before, I call this 99% scam....wanna sue me too, Dufus?
Hey Tim, this was just posted at SI, doesn't look to good for Canady:

You guys might want to get a dose of reality, instead of dreaming about something that has a snowball's chance in hell of ever coming to fruition. Reality is that this has a far better chance of returning to pre pump levels as it does of going to $15 or any price even remotely close.
