No, the paydate is NOT the 20th. There are two dates when talking about a dividend. The date by which you must be a registered shareholder of the company, and then the payout date. These are never the same.

The 20th is the date your name must be in the books to be eligable for the dividend. The payout date will be determined later, which it even states in the PR.

i agree with doc d the pps will not rise much for at least a week it may even be into the second week of aug before it starts moving...with ucad's o/s the 3.40 price probably will drop some at first but it should make it up over a short course of time...i also agree with whoever said UC should keep the o/s unknown till the last hr...it will help hold the pps down for a while and allow more new ppl to buy in which will ultimatly make covering that much harder and thus in the week before the 20th drive the pps that much higher

Well, everyones singing the praises of this but, if the o/s is 400 billion and UCAD goes to 4.00 per share, I get 150 bucks for my 2 million shares, not exactly the motherload that everyones been talking about. About the only positive I see in this whole thing is that if nothing happens with the share structure between now and the dividend payable date, we will be able to figure out the o/s. Also, they have promised a share dividend in the past that never took place, the same thing could happen here. Many people are screaming "dont sell", if this stock gets to your initial sell point, sell it! There's still way too many unknowns to hang onto it.

Lets go with the worst case of 400B. We came up with this meaning that CMKX being worth $0.0012 (which interestingly is the previous high point for this stock) We got the .0012 value by putting in UCAD's Friday close of $3.40, however, in March & April UCAD was in the $7 area. Between now and Aug 20th The price of UCAD could go back up, especially if the MM's have also been naked shorting it as well as CMKX. So that alone could mean that CMKX's value is closer to .0025
Also, if other companies want to buy into the company, they will have to pay a lot more than UCAD did so that will add to the value that people put on CMKX. If we don't sell our shares and the people over at the Raging Bull don't sell their shares, the MM's will be forced to cover at a higher price. It was pointed out months ago, that the MM's virtually always make money and the real share holders allways loose when the MM's naked short a company except in the rare instances when the price of the company starts to advance because the company can show that it has real value. This sounds like one of those rare cases and we are lucky to be a part of it, well, not lucky, but smart enough to have bought the stock early on.

This dividend will have no effect on any naked shorts that might be out there. At 40 billion o/s, the dividend price per share is .0001875, at 400 billion, add another zero. If you want to see some naked covering, make the dividend something substantial. This won't do it.

If we are only looking at what the dividend does to our current value, I agree that this isn't the bomb we've been looking for. But with the demand that will be created by new investors, old investors loading up on more, and the MM's trying to buy to cover their naked shorts, the PPS will have to rise considerably during the coming weeks. While the MM's will try to hold it down, to make it appear that this dividend does not affect them, time and the laws of supply and demand will take over.

Latest thoughts from Zen

Posted by: zeninvestor32
In reply to: None Date:7/18/2004 8:29:17 PM
Post #of 55571

WHERE TO FROM HERE?

I will reiterate my earlier feelings. The market makers likely have clients (probably some very large hedge funds) who have now been served an official notice that August 20 is the first pain threshhold. This gives the market makers about 30 days to work their magic. These guys are pros. Their job now for their clients is to help their clients cover at the lowest price possible. They will now IMO control the ebb and flow of trading to facilitate this in the best way possible for their clients (additionally the MMs themselves are probably a bit worried about THEIR butts if this thing spirals out of control).

Accordingly, I expect still a lot of monkey business before we start seeing real pops. Agenda #1 from the MMs will IMO be to get the market to believe this news was "no big deal" and thus bait shareholders into selling. The bashing online will likely continue (albeit significantly weakened). I don't expect they will hold it down too long though since they know that literally any day OS could be realized and if it's low enough, it will put a sizable nail in their coffin. My guess is that Roger and Urban have many other signficant pieces of information that will "nudge" the market makers in the right direction should they try to stall out anything too long.

First area of interest will probably be .0005. Could be a 67% gain for many that bought at .0003 and a 400% gain returned to those that bought at .0001. I look for them to work that area as best they can. Next signficant area will obviously be .001 to .0012. A return to this area now puts EVERYONE that has bought in the last 60 days in the green. Many will want to take profits. TA "experts" will claim there will be a retracement (and there may be but only if the shorts decide it will be worth the risk). And many that bought on the recent downturn will want to lock in profits. Depending on how much more information is available to the public, there may be a signficant selloff at .001 simply because many people will want to lock in gains and are still in a "too good to be true" mentality. I look for them to test .001 considerably and possibly even try another rundown back to .0005. We'll see. Their time is limited. They just may not be able to do this.

After that, I have no idea how this will work. This is truly the first time I've ever seen a situation like this develop and I have no idea what to expect. Even the above is just guesswork. For all I know, we open at .001 tomorrow and never look back. But honestly, I expect the short position and MMs will act like the pros they are and work these next 30 days with an aggressive intensity to help their clients (and themselves) as best they can.

The market makers have one small advantage in this. Our fear and impatience just as always has been the case. Let's take someone that owns 10 million shares. Let's say this jumps to .005 next week. Well, hey, that's 50 grand!! Now let's say the MMs (who carefully monitor money flow and know precisely when buying has dipped and they can make a run) decide to drop it. Maybe even back down to .001. OH NO!!! My $50k is now $10k!! This feels terrible. But now when the stock eventually returns to .005, this shareholder is MUCH more in a frame of mind to "take 1/2 off the table just to be safe".

Ok, now let's ratchet the stakes up a bit. Let's say this thing gets to 5 cents! Now a shareholder with 10 million shares has 500 GRAND!!!! Buying momentarily dips, the MMs jump in and tank it back to a penny. OH MY GOD!!! MY 500 GRAND IS NOW 100 GRAND, OH PLEASE OH PLEASE GET BACK TO JUST 5 CENTS SO I CAN SELL. Do you see how this works? Do you see what is ahead?

The last 45 days have tested everyone's nerves. As the stakes increase, expect to be tested far greater than ever before. Right now, my guess is the MMs are mapping out their strategy. Whether it works or not, even they won't know. But they surely have a strategy IMO. One slight wrench in their plan of course is that more news from Urban/Roger could come at any minute. In fact, I expect it WILL come ... as "prods" and "pushes" are necessary to keep the MMs in line.

I personally don't expect much this week as I believe this first level of .0005 to .001 must be toyed with to see what's available here. But that's a full week out of the next 30 days that will be gone. Things should start picking up the pace after that IMO.

I'm excited. This will be fascinating. Today's PR IMO was truly the beginning. I believe this runs so much deeper than most anyone expects. The naked shorters literally finally got caught with their hand in a very serious cookie jar IMO. The penalty may take away a very, very, very significant percent of their profits through naked shorting over the past 8 years or so. As I said in an earlier post last week, I believe when this blows open, there will be a massive redistribution of wealth. I still believe that.


Z

As always, these are my personal opinions.

Hopefully nobody in here is investing anything but "fun" money that they can afford to gamble with.

noah....i think i have to agree with the re-post you added from zen...money is money and unless you have a few million in the bank if a average joe see's enough cash to pay off the morgage and all his bills or her bills they have to take it. i also don't see the pps getting to the point to pay off my bills as i have 1.2 mil shares but if UC can put the pressure on with the correct pr's as in him & the insiders own 50% or more of the o/s then we might see a unbelievable increase in the pps in the last week before the 20th...maybe even .05 is possible but i bet buying in at .0005 will be possible most of this week...swing traders will be making a killing on this stock over the next month

What I found interesting Friday, was that the stock spent half the day at .0004 and the rest at .0003, it never dipped even once to .0002 I bought most of my shares at .0001 and had gotten nervous, thinking, why didn't I sell 10% to 15% at .001 So Wednesday I put in an order to sell 20% at .0005 But Friday, an hour before the close, I said, wait a minute, I'm letting the MM's manipulate me into selling shares that I really didn't want to sell: MM really stands for Major Manipulators. And since it would bounce right back to .0004 every time it got to .0003, I decided that something was going on and cancelled my GTC sell order at .0005 Like you say, they will go back to manipulating the stock and try to trick people into selling their shares. But I've decided that I will wait, there are just too many good things about this stock. I will probably still be holding on to it years from now, and I think that there is a good chance that it will be worth millions at that time. OK, OK, I know that every time somebody says that it will be in the $$ range, that people say no way, but I think that there is a realistic chance that this could happen. I will keep on watching this stock, and as long as it looks like things are going in the right direction, I will continue to hold it.

Van, I understand why you would want to make this a short play, it has volatility, and for day and swing trades, it may make a quick profit. That's the way we normally play, but this is not a NORMAL play.

As for the valuation theories, I post other peoples opinions when I see what I think is a good one, but not too often do I post my own feelings, but here goes one on how I 'feel' right now. You may take it as bashing or pumping, but it is just my opinion as things stand right now.

I believe that this dividend is a 'paper shuffle' between UCAD and CMKX, which really means a shuffle from Urban's right hand to his left. It's design is to put the MM's in the box, and force them to reveal their hands, and Urban didn't have to put up a dime of cash to make this happen. He has played it brilliantly. Now the MM's have to either pay up for the shares of UCAD, or buy our shares up cheap to cut their losses.

Are there really any naked shorts out there? Only the MM'x and Urban know for sure. Urban knows how many shares are outstanding and how many the company owns. If there weren't a ton of naked shorts out there, what would be the use in paying this dividend to shareholders. Think about it, why would he want to just give us that money?

Personally, I don't think he is giving us anything. I have believed for a long time that he bought up all of the authorized outstanding shares for the company, while they were at .0001. If the company holds all of the OS that's authorized, the dividend will be paid directly to CMKX and he won't have to give us a dime's worth. He is going to let the MM's pony up that amount.

They know that too, and the only way out is to buy back all of the naked shorts before August 20. How much will they pay for those naked shorts? As much as we hold out for. What other choice do they have, except buying enough UCAD at $3.40 or more to produce 'dividends' to the brokerage houses to cover all of us "nakeds".

Good for you Star Gazer. Hang tight. But I agree, there is a point for all of us to get out. A million dollars is a lot of money to us "po' foke". So yes there is a point where even I will get out. But let's not sell our dreams short. How many more CMKX stories will come around in a lifetime? This is one for the books, and I don't think the MM's will ever let themselves get caught in another predicament like this.

I have gone to the 10% profit rule just because I can't trade during the day. I caught myself missing a big gap, only to see it gone by the next day and falling.

I am dropping the 10% rule for this stock simple because the numbers say it will double and triple.

A good diamond pr would really be a homerun. I still think it will be a year before it reaches its stable value area.

I don't have a clue when to get out.

Haven't really looked at it except for a quick view of the release. Been busy helping a neighbor fix his roof and do some plumbing. Next project with him is the bath.

Frankly, on the surface it looks positive. Once I look at it a bit more carefully, I will let you know. Did someone above say you filled in for me? Just may be that I will get something out of 10,000,000 shs purchased at .0002.

Some people do not believe that this dividend will force covering of the shorts because it is such a small amount but the dividend payout is in shares of UCAD not cash so the MM's will be forced to cover the shares.The MM's can't issue us shares of UCAD those will come from CMKM the MM's can't just mysteriously deposit UCAD shares in all the shorted accounts because there is a known number of shares to be issued.

I think UCAD shares will go up in anticipation of UC wanting to buy more shares and possibly take contol of both. I'm new at this but it seems either way, both companies are going to start rising. I'm holding strong to .50. I have expenses.

Here's a reasonably intelligent post on market valuation from another board

CMKM'S MARKET VALUATION USING RELATIVITY

I repeatedly come across posts on working up the value of CMKKM. Define value? There may be 500 Billion dollars of diamonds in hundreds of kimberlites, but until you geologically prove your diamond reserves the market is unlikely to raise the pps to reflect that geo fact.

Folks, we are in competition with every other stock in the marketplace in drawing the investors' capital into our CMKM. This especially holds true with other natural resource stocks, and alternate diamond companies are in a sense our principal enemy. NO? If our CMKM's profile does not appear superior to company x, the investor will ignore CMKM. We claim CMKM is undervalued, and the following example supports that view:

One exploration company, the Otish Mountain Diamond Company(OOMDC:OTCBB), has already acquired the mining rights to 75,000 acres of mining claims - right in the heart of the new Otish Mountain diamond region. "And while the compapny"s shares may be selling for peanuts now, the first confirmation of diamonds on its property could easily send shares soaring to many times their current value."

Two weeks ago Otish Mountain was priced at .70 per share with 30million shares outstanding. This gives Otish a Market Cap of $21,000,000 CMKM's claims are reportedly 1.4 million acres; don't overlook they own options on another 1 million acres. Let's assume they eventually exercise a portion giving them 2 million acres. (For the time being ignore the UCAD 5% deal.) Divide 2million by 75,000 acres and that gives CMKM 26 times the land that Otish controls.

Therefore, CMKM ought to trade at 26 times Otish's Market Cap of 21 million resulting in $546,000,000. Wow is this coincidence with today's calculations? We calculated that CMKM and UCAD valued CMKM's minerals at $510,000,000. Folks, UC realizes what I am endeavoring to enlighten here. There is a real world out there which we must compete in and in our case the marketplace.

Notice that Otish has found NO diamonds nor conducted any drilling or aeromagnetic surveys.

Finally, if we assume CMKM OS is 50 billion with a market cap of$500,000,000 this results in a .01 share price. That is. relative to Otish we ought to fetch .01 in the competitive marketplace. Why $500 million? Because UC being an expert estimated our primary asset - mineral rights - to be fairly valued. Given Otish MKT CAP, this appears to be fairly priced.

I predict a slightly higher price due to this UCAD joint venture, CMKM's drilling, and magnetic survey. THE MMs have literally driven a .01 to.0001 and this SHORTLY will no longer be the case. If the OS is one half of my estimate then double .01 or whatever multiple applies.

In conclusion, the marketplace is the final judge of valuation and the process is mainly via a relative comparison of competitive diamond small cap stocks. Whatever you do, do NOT sell an undervalued stock. Make the MMs give us back our stolen valuation.

Trade Dog,
That may be so but I don't see how that's relevant. If all of the shares you or I own are actually naked shorted shares, the UCAD dividend will show up in our account just like all of the "real" shareholders. Again, it's a miniscule price for any market maker that is short to pay.

The first paragraph states they will issue those 7.5 mil shares to all shareholders of record on Aug 20, 2004. Going by what the TA leaked out as 400 bil shs (which I think just might be very close to the correct figure), it would mean each shareholder would get a miniscule number of shares of UCAD. That might be more costly than cash and it would represent a huge number of odd lot shares. It just might cost more to sell them than they are worth (assuming someone might want to do so). Normally, I would have expected that to be converted into cash and paid out in that manner. Still, I do not know where CMKX could get the cash.

There is no question that the record date is August 20, 2004. Only shareholders of record on or before that date would be entitled to any dividend. There was no mention of an x-dividend date. Further, the release states that "later will issue these shares". Whenever that "later" date is would be what is called the Payment Date, Distribution Date (or even the Effective Date). Who knows what "later" means to UC or the people at CMKX or UCAD?

I have not researched what might be the true value of UCAD or it's shares. I'm not sure, but didn't they have negative earnings and negative shareholders' equity?

I am also assuming that the deal between CMKX and UCAD is a done deal with nothing left to be determined or completed first.

Again, with no particulars, no one knows exactly which claims may be purchased, why those particular claims were selectedj, by whom they were selected or what is left.

The 1 yr. option for an add'l 10% doesn't mean much unless it is purchased by UCAD.

As to value of CMKX, I honestly feel it is too early to be trying to figure that out. Too many factors involved that are still unknown.

Someone did mention that the float might be about 200 bil if the issued and outstanding (I/O) is about 400 bil. I agree with that supposition. I do think that UC (and/or family insiders) have a controlling interest since they are very easily able to increase the authorized shares of CMKX at will.

I think someone stated that the authorized shares that are not issued would also participate in the dividend. That is incorrect. Only issued and outstanding shares participate in a dividend. I do not know how the Treasury shares (was over 20 bil) will be treated.

I don't think there are, but let's say there's a forty billion OS. CMKX is only going to issue a dividend to 40 billion shareholders. If there are 500 billion naked shorted shares on top of the 40 billion "authorized" the brokerage houses are going to have to "find" 500 billion "dividends" from the MM's. If they can't produce the shares of UCAD to cover, they're in really "hot water". That's the way I see it. There aren't that many UCAD shares available, so their only choice is to buy back the naked short shares, causing the PPS to skyrocket.

Noah,
If you and the other naked short theorists are correct, the price should skyrocket between now and August 20th as they will have to liquidate an unprecedented short position.

I don't believe it can work that way the dividend shares aren't issued through a MM they are issued directly from CMKM so the MM can't cover with UCAD shares, the ony choice they have is to cover the shorts.

That may be so but I don't see how that's relevant. If all of the shares you or I own are actually naked shorted shares, the UCAD dividend will show up in our account just like all of the "real" shareholders. Again, it's a miniscule price for any market maker that is short to pay.

It was good news. If nothing else it will give an accounting of the O/S. The real value of the dividend and/or the comapny cannot be accurately determined until then. Y'all are getting too excited. We need the O/S.
Good night, it's been a fun day.

I really don't see the naked short as theory, as I stated earlier, UC knows how many are authorized and how many are naked shorted. He would have had no reason to issue a dividend at this point, on a non-profit producing company, except to catch the MM's.

I believe another thing we all have to keep in mind, is this stock is not going to be trading under "normal rules of trading".

Has anyone thought about the possibility of an MM filing bankruptcy? Or backing out like Schwab? Even on the Big Board, it was the shareholders that got socked when specialist firms (they act somewhat in the same capacity as a MM) were screwing around. Sure some had to pay fines, but that did not hurt them very much at all.

Will,

Depending upon what that "later" date is, it may not force that figure out very soon. Even then, they would not have to disclose the I/O numbers if they do not want to.

Wallace, in other places I have seen traders stating that the MM's are insured against such losses, but I don't know it for a fact.

noah,
I believe you are right that they have to carry some insurance but I have no idea how much or under what circumstances the insurance company would pay.

I have also wondered about liability if the MM's tank, and would believe that the brokerage would be ultimately liable to us for value since they chose and purchased through the MM. Don't they have some responsibility to insure that our trades are "real".

I think that Wallace is better equipped to answer that than me but I think that the brokerages have to sell from their inventory on hand or inventory that is readily available. That might be another feather in the naked short theorists cap as many brokerages went "certificate only" with CMKX long ago.

I think UC knows how large the short is. Let's say it is 100 Billion, and you multiply that by the dividend amount, and divide that between 2 or three MM's it isn't more than 20 million each.

They can afford it pretty easily imo. Unless the short is astronomically huge and not spread out it shouldn't be an issue.

IMO the mm's will want to cover this before the 20th maybe not till the 19th but before not because of cost on this stock but because of publicity...there are hundreds of lawsuits out there over naked shorting and nothing has changed in aug sometime dateline will air the stockgate story not because of cmkx but because they want bush out but it will shine a spotlight on the problem. if on the 21st we find that UC & insiders hold 50% or better of the probable 400 billion o/s and shareholders hold much more then 200 billion shares with the dateline story just airing it will make news and thus a probable change in the rules ending the mm's money train. this is more scary the them then and lose on cmkx but thats just IMO.
