Yeah, I know what you mean. Just like the names Capt Nemo, Panther, and some Bishop that was taken out at rook X king/bishop - checkmate. LOL

Thanks so much for the offer, you dear, sweet, thoughtful person; but I think I'll pass.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Morning all you fellow $500 - #3,000 (or so) players. The bashers have totally infested this board and many others as well. It's funny to watch them try to "save" us our minescule $$$ play - a play we entered fully prepared to lose every penny. But the flip side is that CMKX has diamonds, gold, uranium and minerals. The risk/reward ratio is too good to pass up.
So, fully prepared to lose my HUGE downpayment (LOL), I wait patiently. I've waited since December 2003. There's no rush. The bashers try to instill fear, but really their basis for fear is non-existent for you and me:
1) We have no fear of losing our down payment. We decided to take the risk/reward play, and were prepared to lose our money if things went badly.
2) Our motivation is simply to take out more than we put in. How this happens - short squeeze, buyout, roll-up, etc. etc. etc. - means nothing to us. We'll just wait until we make a profit.
3) Bashers make implications or flat-out accusations that everyone connected with CMKX a crook or a con man. So what else is new? Sad to say, this is the way our business world runs, and each one of these bashers is a member of the club. Tell me with a straight face that someone who posts here 24/7 where the pps is .0001/.0002 is sane or not a crook or con man himself. Enron & WorldCom are two of the most notorious examples of late of companies run by crooks. What they did was horrible, but at one point in time they made money for a lot of people.
4) As far as I know, none of us who have invested such paltry sums of money has plans to marry a Casavant family member, or even to establish life-long friendships with them. (OK, maybe a few do - LOL). We simply want to make a profit on our investment. If we don't there are many, many other investments out there. None of us has a portfolio containing nothing but CMKX.
So I for one remain patient, as do, I'll bet, most of my low-level $$$ friends. So sing away bashers. When all is said and done we'll either have lost our money (while simply relegating the likes of you to delete purgatory), or we'll have made a nice little profit ... or maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to leave this investment message-board world to its own self-destructing behaviors, and spend our time using our newly-gained windfall to actually do some good in this world - both for our families and others less fortunate.
GLTA
There are diamonds, uranium, gold, minerals, etc. The bigger the potential $$$ the tougher the MMs & bashers will fight. No question about it. There are a lot of folks out there like me who have little more than a few hundred or a few thousand dollars here. We knew going in that we're ready to write it off - no big deal, we've taken far bigger losses in our day.
Patience, and keep your eyes on the prize ...

OK, let’s re-group. (This is for newbies). The “soap opera” of the message boards is in full swing. A roller coaster of emotions and 20,000 theories, each with another 20,000 slight variations, fill this board and others in the electronic phenomenon of “message boards.”
Posters “types” include:
insane
impassioned
frantic
reasonable
all-knowing
lost newbie seeking guidance
sarcastic
“put-down” artist
mentoring
buddies
etc., etc.
Buried in the midst of these psycho-drama characters are some genuine, “real” posters like you. It’s virtually impossible to sort out you real ones from the fake ones (bashers and pumpers in the pay of MMs & hedge fund people – “hedge hogs” – to purposely set up this “Psychodrama.”) Why do they set it up? To keep you off-balance, confused, and “ready to push the sell or buy button” based on a split-second decision, based on emotion and confusion.
First let’s take a worst-case scenario. You put more money into CMKX than you know you should have. You have money that is needed elsewhere in your life sitting in a pink-sheet (soon to be grey sheet?) stock. You’re not alone. Virtually all of us have made this mistake in the past. Unfortunately, if CMKX were to fail you will suffer a loss you shouldn’t have risked. This is a tough lesson, and hopefully, if a collapse is what’s in the cards, you will have learned that lesson – admittedly the hard way.
But let’s be real … the number of newbies in this state of affairs can’t be all that large. So let’s go to scenario 2.
You’re a newbie who has learned his/her lesson, and you only have money in CMKX that you are prepared to lose without jeopardizing your financial health. You likely have many millions of shares, bought for very small amounts of money. What you need to focus on now is that A) you’re prepared to lose your money, if it comes to pass; B) you have had this money in CMKX for quite some time now … maybe you’ve consistently added to your position at these low prices; thus by this point you truly understand the meaning of the word “patience.” C) you maintain a certain amount of hope that your minimum-risk position will pay off as a multi-bagger.
If you fit into scenario 2, then most of the drivel on these boards will be meaningless to you. Really all you need to do is to watch for PRs, and stay in touch enough so that you’re ready to capitalize on any sudden move up in the PPS.
You’ve also worked out several exit strategies (and possible buy-backs when the PPS dips). If the PPS moves you know enough to retrieve your initial investment at some point, so that your stress level goes way down. The rest of your shares are now “free.”
You have an idea of what kind of PPS levels will be satisfactory for you to exit with the rest of your shares. For some of you, to get a 4-bagger would be great. Consider - $2000 invested at .0001 becomes $8000 at .0004. Not bad at all. Some of you have set your sights higher. I’ve seen posts saying that they’re out “when” (read “if”) it hits .01. Others say .25. Some say they’re waiting till it reaches $100 and does a forward split. You have a handle at which level(s) of “risk” work for you. Remember, if you’ve taken out your initial investment (allowing for taxes), then your “risk” is zero!
Summary. Stick to your plan. These boards are mostly a distraction. There are some pearls of real information here – and thanks to those who provide some honest opinions and information without the “Psychodrama” ramblings of the bashers and the pumpers. Remember, the bashers and the pumpers could prove to be correct. However, the true outcome will likely fall somewhere in between those extremes.
Look dispassionately at the posts here. Be alert for real news (verified!), PRs, and PPS moves. Be patient. And good luck to you.

Just returned from Offices of 1st Global and things are popping. when i mention i was a CMKX shareholder three people came running.
TRUTH: there will be a press release by CMKX in next day or two exact words. after PR we will know O/S and FLOAT..
also was told shareholders should be VERY happy with numbers eom
To all the bashers: I haven't visited this board in months - you folks are pretty funny. I have all of $2K "invested" here (buys lots of stock at these prices - LOL). I'm just "shaking in my boots" that it might not go - LOLOLOLOL!!!
I have SO much to lose - LOLOLOL!!! Most here have relatively small "investments" like this - read "gamble." Of course you bashers know this, but that doesn't stop you from "warning" us. Oooohhhh, the big bad MMs, etc. etc. So you're either very poor reps for the big bad MMs, or you're trying to show off your great knowledge of stocks, trading, and or the mining industry. Yeah, right - ON A MESSAGE BOARD?!?!?!?!?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You might try to build your ego somewhere else - just a suggestion; I don't think it will do much for you here.

Hustler: It is sad, isn't it, that he/she has to set up a soap-box melodrama on a message board, where he/she can position to appear to be a stock expert. In fact, he/she may be a stock "expert," but really now - to have to prove it over and over again here?!? Yes, I agree that this is a highly subtle bashing - divert attention, spread negativity, etc. Take a poll of how many here have "sunk all their money in this stock." I'm sure the answer is zero. With the many HUNDREDS of dollars, or even a few thousand, we have invested here, I'm sure we're all shaking in our shoes about Casavant's poor CEO skills - LOL.
GLTY
Make me money: IMO this guy/gal is just wasting the board's time with this "argument." If he/she has issues then there ways to handle it and not waste our time reading his/her little tit for tat.
Stand by your decision - I think you're right on. Just another basher's ruse.
GLTA
I'd like to request that this argument be continued via e-mail so that the board space can be reserved for stock talk. Thank you.
GLTA
Fireboat: Amen to that! I like the way you keep it simple - at .0001, what do we have to lose? Exactly! My gut tells me that this will be HUGE.

Just stopping by. Still holding, waiting for PRs. It's really peaceful staying off the boards - and apparently this site is gathering more bashers by the day. Too bad. On the other hand, those smug greedy ones don't come around for nothing.
It's great being in at .0001 (& some at .0002). Whenever this goes up is fine with me. Virtually no risk - potentially stupendous reward.
GLTA
Some perspective:
I'm in with a bit over $2000 @.0001
I used to average that with $2000 I put in way back - and effectively lost all of it on the plunge to .0001
Now I look at the first $2000 as simply lost. So when this reaches .01 I'll have over $200,000
I'll subtract the $2000 I lost from that figure, and I'll have $198,000 (It's all how you look at it, isn't it ...)
Even for someone who got in with $2000 at .0012 (the recent peak in the summer), .01 will bring them $16,666. Not bad to have better than an 8-bagger.
I haven't even mentioned dividends. And I've only worked it out to .01!
Holding? NO PROBLEM!
I'll go back to lurking now ...

narvo: Good to see some positive opinions here. I just stop in once in a while now - sad to see the increase in bashers here. It used to be a good board, but IMO the whining and personality bashing (unfortunately Melvin's shortcomings as an IR person left him open to those who would discredit the man along with his work) have led down a slippery slope to more panic and fear on the board. I hope that Mach et al can get it cleaned up once again.
GLTY
Genghis (or anyone):
In my Ameritrade account I have:
CMKM DIAMONDS INC CASAVANT RESTRICTED (recent dividend)
And
CASAVANT INTL MINING CORP RESTRICTED SHARES (last year’s dividend)
Are these different companies, or the same entity with different names???
If they are the same, why the separate entries?

bluediamonds: Thanks for finding this post. I have stopped participating on this board - even though it is overall one of the best boards available. I still browse occasionally - thus I came across your post. I left the board specifically because several of the "gripers" were turning their frustration into personality attacks on Melvin. It's not that Melvin hasn't earned his share of criticism, but these attacks went beyond complaints about lack of professionalism, etc.
I've been here almost two years (December '02), and Golden is right on. Two years is a relatively short time for any endeavor to get underway. There is the factor of incredible risk of any bb stock - and especially a pinkie. But people (including myself) who put money in one of these should be entirely prepared to lose their money. For over a year I had thought I'd done exactly that. Then this past spring saw the beginning of moves (or at least talk of moves) that were more palpable. Then posters such as Sterling and some guy named "bluediamonds" came along and pointed out more possibilities.
So while folks certainly have the right to complain, I'm with you and Golden. Chill out folks! The day will come soon enough when we'll all be wearing smiles, and the complaints will fade away in the brightness of the diamonds (& all these divvies as well!)
Thanks for all the fine posts you've given us, and continue to give us. I have a lot of respect for your knowledge, your perseverance (DD), and your attitude.
GLTY
stockhippie: So are you going to sell? If not, why not? I think if you can answer that question you might find your reason(s) to stay. We're at the brink - impatience as a reason to leave might be valid for you, but I believe if you review DD, PR's, etc. etc. that you'll calm down. I hope you can. Otherwise, guess I'll see you on some other board.

Question re UCAD dividend: If UCAD does a forward split after it reaches $20, will the new shares created also be restricted, or will the only restricted shares remain the original number given us as the dividend?
TIA
GLTA
OT Mach: Probably of little interest to most, but I'm leaving this board. It is generally excellent in quality - good information, etc., but I just can't get around the continued personal jabs at Melvin. The way to get something done there, IMO, would be for those who attend the races to say something to UC face to face. Instead, they post put-downs, ridicules, etc., and I can't stand to see anyone be personally "assassinated" in that manner.
IMO those who have problems should s**t or get off the pot - do something of consequence to get him replaced, or SHUT UP ALREADY!!! Geez, I've never seen such whiners. We've survived this far with him - and with the culmination getting closer it's not like he's going to destroy CMKX's eventual success.
Anyway, thanks to you and those who work hard to keep the board at a good quality level. I just can't stand to read the sniveling anymore. I'll just check the PRs and smile when they come.

No matter what anyone predicts, what will be will be. It will be interesting to see where we are by the end of October, March and a year from now. Five years from now. The anticipation (any way you call it) is incredible!
I still like the poster who said "Hitchcock at his best." It's the car ride down the hill in "North by Northwest" (or the crop-duster in the corn field, or the climb down Mount Rushmore). It's the "Old lady in the chair" in Psycho." It's Jimmy Stewart with a leg cast, sitting in his room while footsteps come down the hall in "Rear Window." Great stuff!
GLTA
Mach: Thanks for your support. I don't have as much to offer about the business/stock aspects as many excellent posters have here. So it's nice to know I can make some small contribution. At any rate, let's hope that this whole business moves us up the PPS ladder soon - that should help change the topic. LOL
Howdy: Did you by any chance do some elementary DD and look at the post I complained about? To help you out, it's post #15469. This is no complaint about Melvin's IR abilities. It is ridicule. In my book that's an insult. By the way, did you read John-69's post? (#15470). It's obvious from that post there's more than one take on the story. I'm not going to judge someone on BBP's say-so, especially when there's another perfectly credible poster saying that he disagrees with BBP's interpretation. If you expect me to judge people on "gripe" posts, then your standards for posting are too low.
Onyx pup's post was a clear violation of the rules of this board. If I want to point that out it's my business, and of that I am 100% sure. You'll just have to deal with it.
All the same, good luck to you.
john-69: Thanks for the reality check! We've got to get the Melvin-bashing out of here. Management is either reading this and a) deciding not to do anything about it, or b) doing something about it, but haven't acted yet: or they haven't read the boards, in which case all the moaning and bi*ching just serves to bring the rest of the board down. Enough already!
(P.S. I've had my say several times about this, and this is the last time I'll post about it. If these posts keep showing up I'll simply watch my e-mail for PRs and save myself the grief of visiting here.) I know that will make some folks happy - LOL.
GLTY
Mach: I believe your rules state that there be no personal attacks on people. I know that people are upset about Melvin, but this childish crapola doesn't belong here IMO. Thanks for keeping the board on track (with the exception of "vent day", which I suppose was a neccesity at the time).
GLTA
Zenn: OK, I'm with you on that - but just ask for the basic courtesy FROM THE COMPANY. Complaining to me or anyone else on the board doesn't change anything. If any of us were able to change these things we'd have done it long ago. Send a letter, send ten letters. Get outside the message board loop and maybe they'll get the idea. Months and months of complaining on the message boards haven't accomplished the changes you're seeking (and we're seeking). All I'm asking is that another avenue of approach be chosen. IMO to keep using the boards for this just feeds the bashers.
GLTY
OK everyone, chill out. S**t or get off the pot. Please stop whining (yes, it's whining!) If the investment is that bad and that frustrating for you, nobody's making you hold your shares.
TIA

evil: Maybe I should say "cut off from their conscience" instead. Whatever - it sure is nice to have this board kept clear of them for any length of time!
