Up 18% today! "Keep it green" tomorrow also!
6.4 mil. shares traded today. I am still holding. It is painful watching the p.p.s. shrink. Are you holding waiting for some positive news? What do you think the price per share will be right before Independece day? Any guesses?
I believe this is Gus Jarvis and his interview...If so, great job.. very knowledgeable, well spoken and great representative of the shareholders. He showed through his intellect and complete understanding of the facts that the rest of us are not our of our minds.. Let's hope the end is here....

As Goldman Sachs faces $1B+ SEC fraud charges, CMKM Diamonds shareholder reveals penny stock shock
April 16, 4:03 PM
Manhattan Headlines ExaminerTim Barello
Photo Credit: Flickr/pfala“Our job is only to hold up the mirror: to tell and show the public what has happened.” – Walter ‘the most trusted man in America’ Cronkite (1916 – 2009)
More than a year ago, the world united in astonishment and disgust when it emerged that Bernie Madoff – heretofore considered one of the most powerful and respected men on Wall Street – was nothing more than a vile, polluted criminal. For several months, the media extensively scrutinized this scandal, and then, following Madoff’s sentencing to 150 years in prison last June, all the mainstream hype gradually died down.
Since then, however, a number of very serious red flags have been raised about the U.S. and global financial systems, which collectively suggest that Madoff’s worldwide crimes actually pale in comparison to others that continue today:
In July, former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer – once known as “the Sheriff of Wall Street” – told MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan that the Federal Reserve itself is a “ponzi scheme”. Dylan has since said on the air, “In America, we are getting closer to fully exposing the greatest con and cover-up in the history of this country. It involves our banks, the Federal Reserve, our Congress, and of course, you and me.”
By August, The New York Post’s Page Six published an article – under the headline “Scandal Bigger Than Bernie” – in which Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos is reported to have said that there are other financial criminals who will make Madoff “look like-small time.”
Come October, two of Madoff’s victims filed suit against the Securities and Exchange Commission for “serial, gross negligence” vis-à-vis its failure to properly investigate “numerous detailed, credible complaints” against Madoff; the case also highlights Markopolos’ decade-long plight in getting the SEC to listen to him.
Just in time for the holidays, Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, reconfirmed a January 2009 report that, following the infamous Wall Street collapse several months prior, most “interbank loans were funded by money that originated from drug trade and other illegal activities.”
Several weeks ago, CNBC reported that Markopolos – whose new book is aptly-titled No One Would Listen – “was living under a ‘death sentence’ for ten years” as he tried to alert the SEC about Madoff. As the article winds down, it notes that within the book “Markopolos speaks candidly about the SEC and Wall Street turning a blind eye to the multibillion dollar scam Madoff was orchestrating right underneath their noses.”
Today, the SEC announced civil charges against Goldman Sachs for committing fraud that cost investors more than $1 billion by “making materially misleading statements and omissions in connection with a synthetic collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) GS&Co structured and marketed to investors.”
In light of the aforementioned reports – and the U.S. government’s history of being, shall we say, economical with the truth – I believe it is sinfully imprudent to dismiss a $3.87 trillion dollar fraud lawsuit against SEC commissioners, current and past, simply because others maintain it is a fringe, loony, cultish concoction.
Although CMKM, a sub-penny stock, might not provide as much prime-time sensationalism as Goldman Sachs and its despicable, but hopefully soon departing CEO Lloyd Blankfein, this suit absolutely raises many mind-boggling allegations of official corruption. For this reason, We the People of the United States have a duty to investigate these claims. At the very least, this means the Plantiffs of this action have a right to try and make their case in a court of law. The rationale for such is elementary: the truth shall set us free.
For the tens of thousands of dismayed CMKM shareholders – who are often mocked with horrid contempt by dim-wits – this means that after years of rumors and confusion, they will finally ascertain some sort of closure. At this juncture, we cannot draw any assumptions as to the probable outcome of the Bivens class-action suit; the Rule of Law dictates that the defendants of that action have a right to respond in court.
Very likely, the SEC commissioners will move for dismissal; however, such motions may be rejected, and if so, the merits of this action will be thoroughly tested. Per legal procedures, to produce a successful outcome for injured parties, a preponderance of evidence will then need to be satisfactorily produced by the plaintiffs.
As of now, for insight on these unprecedented official fraud charges, interested members of the public have to rely upon the allegations brought forth in the complaint, and by individual shareholders like Dave Nelson that are willing to discuss their experiences.
On Tuesday, the 13th of April, Nelson joined RT’s The Alyona Show to speak about his recent difficulties; the follow up segment continues an examination of the CMKM saga, which Alyona Minkovski initially debuted (see below) in early April after her interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The New York Times has since posted Minkovski’s popular clip with Assange on its website.

Todays chart looks real sad.
What do you think?
This stock in "tanking"!
What is your opinion? Which direction do you think it will go in?
About Zircon. I found this information on the internet.
Please read the p. r. issued this morning. See it on the "pink sheets" website.
Eric M./Houston, TX.
As a mineral specimen, zircon is uncommon in most rock shops because attractive specimens are rare. However, fine specimens of well shaped zircons are available and are in demand. The typical simple crystal of zircon is a tetragonal prism terminated with four sided pyramids at each end. The prism may be lacking and the crystal can look octahedral. More complex crystals have faces of a less steeply inclined prism that taper the terminations. Also a secondary prism may truncate the primary prism by cutting off its edges and producing an octagonal cross-section through the crystal. There is even an eight sided pyramid (actually a ditetragonal dipyramid) that may modify the four sided pyramids. As you can see, zircon crystals can go from a very simple crystal to a rather complexly faceted form.
Make our day ......Elray......!

Most investments will be made in the form of debt and/or equity investments in private companies and some in public companies with limited liquidity and no ready access to capital.

The Woodlands is a large, growing suburb on Houston. It is located about 25 mils. n. of Houston. There are a lot of corp. H.Q. and large oil companies there.
I stopped by the address listed on the "pink Sheets" yesterday. It is a two story brick building about one mile north of interstate ten (goes from Florida to California). The suite that they list is about 1000 sq. ft. on the first floor of the building. It is currenty occupied.
I didn't go into the suite.
Call them on Monday and ask if they have anything to to with "Alternative". Thanks, Eric

It is possible that they are a new tenant (or Alternative has ....never been there) and have nothing to do with
Alternative?
I live in Houston.
All of the p.r.'s say that this company is located in the Woodlands, TX. Are you familiar with this town? Ever heard of it?
It lists "Houston" as their corp. H.Q., on the "Pink sheets website".
Please see my next message about Houston.
