Sure, it was a friend of mine that called me and said that he had heard from a friend that heard from a friend, etc. that there was a stock that had increased 700% in a very short period and believed that it would continue to go up. My friend was not into buying and selling stocks but he knew I had an online account and did some trading and he asked me to look into it for him. I spent a couple of days doing some DD and I finally told him it was more than a considerable risk for any amount of money he was willing to invest. I told him it was probably slightly better odds than the craps table at Vegas. He then asked me if I was a gambler. I said, "only if I thought the odds were in my favor". I told him based on everything I read, heard, knew it was worth the gamble to me. So I bought a few shares for both of us that day while he got his Ameritrade account opened up. Then tranferred his shares to his account and I've been adding more shares to my portfolio ever since.
Not sure you wanted the long version but you got it. :-)

Uh Oh, I forgot that you could get in touch with her! Well, I'll just have to ask her to make a heaping bowl full of the vile stuff and tell her how much I love it!

But you're just investing money you can afford to lose right?

There is nothing bad or negative about this company. Any fiasco or error in judgement gets covered up and applauded as there being a good reason for it. No matter how far a stretch of the imagination, in this case even bad is good. I have never seen facts changed to fit and support the Urban legend like folks do for CMKX. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh|t, people.
Will - I probably agree with your straight forwardness and realist attitude more than most. I too think that the company appears to be stumbling it's way through this process. IMO Melvin is a good ol' boy out of his league at best and UC has his own financial interest at heart moreso than the shareholders regardless of the fact that many of the shareholders believe he is looking out for them. I just don't buy that.
However, all that being said, I don't necessarily think UC is out to take advantage of the shareholders either. My "realist" attitude thinks that, stumbling or not, if there are ultimately significant Diamonds on UC's property, then the company has value beyond what the share price reflects today and that will ultimately make all of us some money. How much? Who knows, but I think it's worth a shot to pay the fee to the dealer and see the cards he's holding.

I have another $100 sitting in my account. I know I can get filled at .0003 but I am wondering about .0002... Well I will send another couple of hundred tomorrow. I am trying my best to load up on this. I am seriously seeing .01-.03 as a pop... Even if the total shares are 400 billion x .01= 4 billion dollars. But what if its not 400 billion what if it is really 100 billion? Then we can see .02-.03... I just really don't know... Either was I am loading up. So far I have 1.2 million or so... Tomorrow I think I will just buy at .0003 and see if by Friday it goes down to .0002. Again I am hoping to get another 1 million by Next Friday!

Appreciate the vote John but I was kind of serious. If you're ever in Wisconsin, stop by sometime, I'd be happy to share some with you!

Without a doubt, Melvin, who I call Marvin, is a clown. Urban is a legend, an imagined genius. I can't deny the the fact that they have mineral rights in the right area of the world if you want to find diamonds. You got it EXACTLY right, Brad. My problem is, that a lot of folks read, He's dead, Jim, he's dead", and think, oh, no problem, he'll be ok, dead is good. If they find daimomds, God Bless us all, but don't feed me that crap that these nebishes know what they're doing. Remember what I told you they could do to a cream pie. I too believe no one at CMKX is trying to screw anyone, I just think they're nebishes, and people argue that they are genius. You can put lipstick on a pig, but everyone will laugh at ya when you take her dancing and tell them how beautiful she is.

Starting a new web site and then changing the ticker after the fact would take alot more time than just doing it once with a new name.?.?

I haven't been concerned about the website or message board not being up. I assumed the company didn't want to have a message board up right now. They would be responsible to monitor the postings there and that would probably be difficult since they aren't giving out information. I hadn't thought about the lawyer not being with us. I would hate for that to happen for any reason. One thing is funny-if a poster says something negative that Melvin supposedly said some here jump on it like it is an offical PR put out by the company. The flip side is true too. If someone posts something positive that Melvin supposedly said the other half jump on it like it is an official PR put out by the company. Only official PR's put out by the company are official PR's put out by the company. It sounds silly to have to say that but to be upset over the explanation someone said Melvin told them is lame. You can believe it but I am not going to work up a lather over it. There have been quite a few 'Melvin said' posts that have not come to pass. I will wait for the official word from the company. It is possible that the scenario about the TA is verbatim true but it is equally possible that it isn't. --------------------------------------------- A PR would be great. IMO-Debi

Tradingwiz... $29 commission fee from waterhouse. WOW! Do they limit your pink orders? MyTrade that I use does... they won't let me buy more than 1M max. They tried churning my orders by blocking me from buying more than 50,000 at a time. I busted them on it and they gave me free trades. They tried it again today on me w/a sell limit order. gggrrr Posts: 415 | From: CA | Registered: Jun 2004

freetrade.com, is great. I never talked to anyone, there's no one to talk to, it's all electronic. First 20 trades of a month, free, next 100 $3, next 100 $2, next 100, $1, and I don't have to talk to anyone whether I buy pinks, blues, or greens.

Oil Man-I think it will be on sale tomorrow the blue light special teams seem to be out marking down the price on the other websites. I was going to post I thought .0002 would be a for sure tomorrow. If it goes to .0002 how many shares will be bought? At .0001? My guesses are 14 Billion served at .0002 and if it hits .0001 there will be 28 billion served. They should give out some fries or a toy with that kind of volume. IMO-GLTA Good Night-Debi

"There have been quite a few 'Melvin said' posts that have not come to pass." There have also been quite a few Melvin actually said on the radio that haven't come to pass. Telling us the results with the oreo cookie bit, <rolls eyes> and saying we would see them on the web site soon. I think or I should say I KNOW that the web site should be done and filled with info. up to date info! That will keep us dreaming at least. It would also work as great PR. If you have all this stuff only half azz done. And if I were new and looking into the Co. and that was the 1st place I go to for info... and constantly see posts where it says he said it was going to be done by such and such. That tells me they are like that in the business world. They do things only half way or partly. You have to come across like a professional (be it in advertising, talking, dress to impress as they say... ) apperance matters a great deal to gain respect and taken seriously. It is especially important in business.

Read everything on that site re Petro Plus. Sounded much like this one. The bit about Edwards & Angell resigning was interesting. I wonder why? Wonder if they have done the same here?
Upside,
Take some credit. At least you re-posted it. There's a lot of nitrogen in chicken sh*t...good for green growth (but could burn).
Will,
I DO like your questions and sense of humor! LMAO! No need to get a room.

Or a reality show where the stock holders have to mine the diamonds,lol...
That would work with people having to travel into Iraq to buy dinars and travel out of Iraqi through Turkey and then onto Europe (those scoundrals!)... the fastest person gets 25 million dinars... The loser, well thats anyone's guess.

Can anyone post a photo of Marvin here somehow. I just want you people to look at that guy, and ask yourself this question, would you let him pick weeds out of your lawn for a dime an hour, or would you know you'd be wasting 80 cents a day?
