Too many of you are overlooking the lessons from the past. I have learned a great deal from the truly professional traders on this board. One recent lesson was...read between the lines on a press release, and incorporate that release into the context of all past releases. This is the only way to derive the real impact the the visa card pr.

What are the ramifications of the Visa card? Simply put, through Glenn's connections with Citigroup, UC was introduced evidently to some top loan officers there, if not the CEO himself. As one poster pointed out, his girl friend stated that it is very difficult to fulfill the requirements for a company Visa card, and therefore CMKX is a solid company. This small Visa card established the fact that Citigroup is giving CMKX their backing.

Did you ever stop and think, "Ah, maybe UC wanted to start building goodwill in the eyes of Citigroup by giving them back some immediate profits." When I first started buying and selling land, I purposely overpaid the going rate of interest on some bank loans because I knew the bank would love me for it. Years later, I could walk into that bank, and they willingly approved loans without even looking at the land. I had built goodwill with that bank.

UC if not already, is building a line of credit with Citigroup. I wondered several months ago where was his line of credit. Years past, I witnessed a bank extend a $10 million line of credit to Ultra Petroleum, and that line was elevated as the years past by. We as shareholders will see value come from this Visa card not in a direct way, but through the nurturing of this banking relationship. Stop analyzing questions in a limited context, broaden that context and the big picture emerges.

Secondly, this Visa card pr may have been poorly timed, but so many of the investors are griping about a lack of prs, this may be the only one that could be thrown out to you. The grand slam prs are on the horizon, but the timing is critical on those.

Thirdly, this so called valueless card is a great share holder marketing tool. Every investor who owns one will show their negative friends, " Look there, CMKX has their own card and you said they wouldn't last for 3 months." Seeing is believing and the Visa card shouts that Citigroup is in our corner. Who has more financial clout? Citigroup or Knight?...Citigroup.

Fourth, no where in the pr does it state this is an awesome pr. The card is just a small part of a longterm and comprehensive marketing program. And it will generate additional shareholders, and eventually as consumers use it to buy diamonds...I sure plan to...what a statement to our friends , relatives and the diamond world. Ever think that it just might be on TV someday? "The Casavant diamond, unequalled in beauty and prestige. Available wherever the Casavant Visa card is accepted." Now doesn't that sound impressive? Will that materialize into bottom line dollars? In my opinion, you bet.

Fifth, this card says that Citigroup has run a very intensive background investigation of UC, the diamond leases, and CMKX's plans. Their conclusion, "Would you like a Visa card?" First Glenn gives us his approval and now Citigroup throws us a tidbit. I predicted about a month past that soon we would see Big Money coming our way, and once aboard the NSS would be fried. How come?

They can step on a little pink sheet stock, but they better not mess with the investments of the rich. Notice what occurred 2 weeks ago. Citigroup suddenly appeared as a market maker. The respected investors are discovering that we are for real... and you all gripe that there is not any immediate value from the card. No, you are right the share price did not rise. Is that a just standard to use in reference to the longterm impact of this card? Look towards the future.

The significance of this card is symbolism. We have just stepped into the world of high finance.

Approximately 8 years ago, I ran across a company trading on the Amex by the symbol XCL? (Been a long time). It was trading for .12. In conducting my dd (I wish I hadn't), I discovered they were currently in arrears on $25,000,000 bank loans and were being sued by a big shot partner for millions, and in total owed something like $37,000,000 due and immediately payable. They also appeared to have discovered a billion barrel oil discovery . XCL's bank account was somewhere around $700,000. Bankrupt! I called the company and they were not encouraging. Then contacted a very respected oil analyst here is Houston. He said, "That company is essentially bankrupt." I concluded that their powerful partner would likely beat them out of the lease and take everything. I walked...one year later, I glanced in the WJ, and they are priced at $7.00 That mistake cost me 1 million dollars.

Ouch, what did I learn? If a company has the goods, the money will find its way to their opportunity. That bankrupt company, called a few investment bankers or perhaps a billionaire, and they were given a check and most likely,
"Let my attorneys deal with your bank and your disgruntled partner. We will ensure that my investment is safe."

We have the goods, and Citigroup's Visa card is screaming they are here to invest and assist us. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.

My predictions?

1. A pr concerning our line of credit with a typical bank.
2. Additional signs that the rich and powerful are establishing a relationship as evidenced by drilling partnerships or investment bankers vehicles of credit.
3. A highly accelerating drilling program. We need to first solve our share structure, and to raise money if the profits from the NSS covering is nonexistent.

As the old miner pointed out. Mining takes a long time. Our progress so far has been breathtaking. I wish all of you could experience the pace of a typical mining venture.
It appears through our Brazil diamond asset and the gold mines of our partners, we should be seeing cash flow in the next quarter. There are ongoing mining concerns with zero cash flow for 3 years, and that is after they have proven an economic gold deposit.

There exists an array of institutions, private and public which have launched their own cards. You mean to tell me they all made a mistake? Their corporate planners and CPAs are all missing something that a few on this board just now have figured out? Some of you who disagree with the card I highly respect. I feel you need to see that not everything in the corporate world can be quantifiable. If you have ever studied cost accounting you will know what I am talking about. Nevertheless, corporations will make the decision since they know from intuition and the experiences of the competition that the act is a
beneficial one.

Finally, how does it fit into past prs? UC mentioned that he plans to straddle the entire diamond industry from production to retail. This card is another piece of the retail end. Just today a poster mentioned there is more money in the retailing of diamonds as opposed to the wholesaling segment.

Some of this post is speculation of course, but some is factual.

I went to check the board and it was just a fat finger entry apparently. That was fun for a second. I liked when the penny stock board was totally whacked one year and all the decimals were off. My account went up by the millions instantly. Hopefully that will be prophetic and get happening soon. GLTA-Debi

Hey Pharm! Undig your new hot tub, turn it upside down and crawl under it. That would make a terrific storm shelter<G>
Sure glad we don't have weather like that here in Arkansas.....its always 72 degrees and the phucking wind never blows.
On a more serious note, I hope for everybodys sake the storm changes course or blows out before reaching land.

August 2004 Focus Stock Update

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (CMKX)

“Don’t over analyze”

The Green Baron Report will be the first to admit that it can be quite confusing to new investors when analyzing every public release that CMKM Diamonds has announced over the past year. For some time we struggled to accept the relationship between a publicly traded mining company with an advertising campaign through nationally televised high speed racing. To some people it would appear that the company is putting “the cart before the horse.”

In the middle of the trading day on Wednesday, August 11, 2004 , once again CMKM Diamonds seemed to have baffled some of its followers with the announcement that it signed an agreement with CMKXTREME Inc. to offer a VISA Pre-Paid Stored Value card to the CMKX shareholders and race fan affinity group. As a VISA product, the card can be used at more that 1 million ATM or merchants locations worldwide that display the VISA or Plus logos.

Urban Casavant, CEO of CMKX stated, “CMKX is offering this innovative product to their shareholders to once again provide value to their shareholders in new and useful ways. It is rare to be able to provide shareholders and affiliates with a unique benefit whose usefulness can be measured in many ways. We are thrilled to be able to provide this service and product through CMKXTREME to our shareholders, affiliates, and race fans alike.”

The Green Baron Report views this announcement, as well as most of its other recent public releases as pieces to a giant puzzle; when first analyzed it is difficult to figure out where it fits, but when the whole puzzle is complete it all makes perfect sense. We have not spoken to anyone at the company that might lend further explanation as to why this particular release comes right now or its overall meaning, but we will propose some input based on our knowledge and experience.

The Green Baron Report knows that each NHRA and other race car event is attended by thousands of loyal fans that walk the pit areas and sponsor’s booths. We do not have a precise number of current investors that own CMKX stock, but we venture the number is in the thousands, and more likely the tens of thousands. In total, CMKM Diamonds has access to a huge audience of interested followers.

We believe CMKM Diamonds and Mr. Casavant is once again advertising its image, its stock, and its future in precious stones and metals in an innovative way that could spread like wildfire. Every single time someone makes a purchase with this card, by nature of an affiliate program, it is likely that a small percentage of the transaction will be awarded to a third party. This third party beneficiary could be the CMKXTREME race car budget, a scholarship program for education, or even Urban’s favorite charity.

Regardless of who the beneficiary is, we imagine that this card (which could be embossed with the likeness of the CMKXTREME funny car or the CMKM Diamond Driller) will grab the interest of any person who processes a charge on the card. The number of people who see this card on any given day a year from now could number in the many thousands. The potential advertising and its sphere of influence is interesting to say the least.

So what is the bottom line? We view this press release as a minor event while CMKM Diamonds’ head council, Mr. Roger Glenn of Edwards & Angell LLC, currently meets with management and other key individuals in Saskatchewan . We believe the end result of this meeting will finally put the whole puzzle together.

Remember, in what seems a complex web of news we need to try to keep it simple. CMKX may be sitting on the richest reserves of minerals in the world. The Discovery Channel has recently demonstrated that this part of Saskatchewan is believed to contain the largest kimberlite pipes ever recognized. CMKM Diamonds has mineral rights to well over one million acres of this land. We believe a company that so strongly desires the public eye may very well know more than we do right now. Only time will tell, so in the meantime, keep it simple, don’t over analyze, and make your choice if you want to invest in what we believe will be The Stock Play of a Lifetime.

"We believe a company that so strongly desires the public eye may very well know more than we do right now."

May God Bless All.

If that statement was in the Green Baron report, and I am sure you would not bring it up if it was not, to not include it in the post was unfortunate.

Obviously, they and their employees have a substantial vested interest and that report should be questioned.

Finally, there is speculation that a cash dividend of some sorts may be in the works generated from the sale of mining or mineral rights. Although we will not address this speculation now, it does stand to reason that if cash was paid out to shareholders that the company might offer some sort of program that provides reverse benefits. We view speculation of any dividend paid directly to cardholders as absurd. CMKX remains at .0004 on the offer at press time of this article. We do not expect the price to remain this low for much longer.

I look at the JV partners United Carina Resources (CDNX-UCA-V), Consolidated Pine Channel Gold (CDNX-KPG-V) and Shane Resources (CDNX-SEI-V)and we didn't get div. for that so could we be grtting DIV. for the past JV dill.

OT: Friday Humor - Osama went to heaven.........

After his death, Osama bin Laden went to heaven.
There he was greeted by George Washington, who
proceeded to slap him across his face and yell at him,
"How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"

Patrick Henry approached and punched Osama in the nose
and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."

James Madison entered, kicked Osama in the groin and said,
"This is why I allowed our government to provide for the
common defense!"

Thomas Jefferson came in and proceeded to beat Osama many
times with a long cane and said, "it was evil men like you that
provided me the inspiration to pen the Declaration of Independence!"

These beatings and thrashings continued as John Rudolph,
James Monroe and 66 other early Americans came in and
unleashed their anger on the Muslim terrorist leader.

As Osama lay bleeding and writhing in unbearable pain, an Angel
appeared Bin Laden wept and said to the Angel,
"This is not what you promised me!"

May God Bless All.

I think we will get a blockbuster Press Release with the Naked short share count revealed to us. Plus we will get the news out of Canada this week and that should be positive too. That will set the stage for a squeeze of Mammoth proportions.

I know we all discussed where all the money to cover a short like this would come from. The MM's may need to buy at a negotiated settlementprice. If there are only 1-10 Billion shares in the tradeable float available to purchase the price will go up insanely. I won't give numbers but we have seen short squeezes before.
