- Faulking Truth Editor to Write CMKX Story
by The Faulking Truth Mark Faulk, Editor of The Faulking Truth, has been signed by The Owners Group, Inc. to author a book about the saga of CMKM Diamonds (better known by its trading symbol, CMKX), a small once publicly-traded Canadian diamond company that has found itself at the epicenter of the naked short selling scandal known as Stockgate.
The book, to be titled "The Naked Truth - Counterfeiting the American Dream" is due to be released in mid-June, and will be available for pre-purchase at a discount from the list price this Friday, January 6, at The Owners Group web site. www.theownersgroupinc.com or www.thefaulkingtruth.com . Upon its release, it will be available at all major online retail websites. You can see the book cover at http://www.theownersgroupinc.com/documents/nakedtruth.pdf
According to Faulk, "CMKX in many ways represents the numerous problems that exist in today's stock market system. Even though I was initially apprehensive about writing this story because of the myriad of controversies that have surrounded the company since it's inception, the more I learned about the company, its shareholders, and the complexities of the story, the more I realized that CMKX is in fact a microcosm of the very issues that The Faulking Truth and other advocates of stock market reform have been fighting for the past few years."
"It's a story that encompasses not just the trials and tribulations of the company itself and the stockholders who bought into the CMKX dream, but in a broader sense, it is a tale about a group of shareholders who decided to fight back against bureaucracy and what they perceived as ineptitude at the highest levels of governance in America's financial systems. And although all of the symbolic nuances of the CMKX story might have been enough to convince me to take on this assignment, it was the fact that this is really just a great story that needs to be told that sealed the deal with The Owners Group, Inc."
"I'm fully convinced that this story will be of interest far beyond the confines of the financial markets, and that the intrigue, combined with the twists and turns of the story itself, will make it a story that any reader will enjoy. I look forward to writing this book, and believe that, with the many talented writers that we have at The Faulking Truth, this is just another step in our collective creative journey."

THIS NEEDS TO BE A NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN!:
It's time to bury Senator Richard Shelby, who sold America down the river when he cancelled a pending Senate Banking Subcommittee hearing on naked short selling and stock counterfeiting. Email him or call him, and tell everyone you know to do the same. Post this information EVERYWHERE:
Call Senator Shelby at (202) 224-5744, or email him at senator@shelby.senate.gov.
Tell him how simple this issue really is....you pay for your stock, your broker goes out and buys it, and delivers it to you. The end.
Add your name to our mailing list on our homepage, and we'll update you on developments in the Stockgate scandal. And if you like our coverage of this and other issues, support us by clicking on a Google ad as you're passing through.
