I also spoke with Sterling. He is very genuine. I too believe him when he tells me that he has not been paid by UC.
On a side note:
The unfortunate scenario is that Sterling has offered his opinion and thus because he has chosen to make it public, it is open for all to scrutinize. I admit that Sterling's original post relating to a future valuation peaked my interest, however IMO it may not be realized until 10 years down the road, if ever, and that original post is certainly not the reason why I am still long on CMKX. I had actually found CMKX a full month prior to even knowing who Sterling was, let alone trying to find him and where the post originated from. My DD confirms my continued support of this stock and the management.
My concern is for those who do no DD. They read a statement on the boards with the ambiguous words "very" and "soon" made in conjunction with a theory of wealth, yet when the time-frame they have conjured up in their mind isn't obtained, they turn on their "mentor".
I will never use the term "soon", let alone the term "very soon" to describe when I think this stock will appreciate in value. Much of the anger and misunderstanding of this stock is based upon the rumors, the unsubstantiated "facts". One of the biggest pitfall's of this security relating to shareholder enthusiasm was the "Christmas in July" proposal. Then we had the "very, very, very soooooooon" mantra. Now we expect a Labor Day salvation. I hope it comes to pass, but for balance, let us remember our friends "time" and "patience".
Have I enquired about the cost of an automobile that I would purchase should this increase to the level I believe it will be in the short term? You bet. Have I told the saleperson to put it on hold for me? No. Cash in hand is the answer, and although PR's are nice, I still see no appreciation from my initial investment. Had I been able to see the future, I would have sold at .0011 and purchased again today. Such is not the case, and I hold with confidence for what will happen sometime in the future.
I apologize in advance for my ramblings. These are just thoughts I've been having. I would love to be wrong about any of the above "very soon"
