WHY DID WE BUY... ??
Well, I purchased this stock ( by accident??) because I simply wanted to learn about the Stock Market. I believe it was the "PinkSheets" site I looked at and just randomly picked some of the cheapest stocks on the board, because I knew nothing, absolutely nothing about trading in the market. So along with CMKX... Qbid and a few other picks chosen ... it was decided that these were to be my learning tools. This was in March of 2004, before all the hooplah, hype and frenzy broke loose, on the boards re: CMKX.. I thought WOW, what how lucky can one get, that I just happen to stumble into all this?? The excitement itsself was worth the investment. BUT.....The "entertainment", "information" & "lessons learned" , over 10 years has me feeling more like a "Wounded Soldier" rather than a "Learned Scholar".
Guess my reason for buying into CMKX was a bit different than those shareholders who bought in during the hype??
So.... here I am (over 10 yrs later), a bonefide CMKX shareholder, who was simply looking for an education, of the who, what where and whys, about the markets ... All I can say is ... Dear Lord, I certainly got more, of an education, than I ever bargained for. And most was NOT pretty !!

Single, I was also a novice at the time... having begun to play in the market (strictly OTC and pinkie's) a few months before I came across CMKX.
Fully aware of the adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", I nevertheless threw a hundred here, a couple hundred there... buying a number of "too good to be true" stocks... reasoning that I only have to hit the jackpot once to make off handsomely. I managed to sell high on a couple of 'em, making a few bucks here and there... but the CMKX aura was taking me in slowly. When Maheu came on the scene, the hook became firmly implanted and I became a lost cause to reason.
Every payday I bought a couple mill more... and when it went below .0001 I bought 10 mill more.
So, the question, Why did we buy? For me, it was unbridled greed for unrealistic gain... the 20th and 21st century version of "the American way".

Too funny... a friend of mine talked me into buying and he was told to buy from some boat captain....it was the first stock I ever bought and I agree, what a long and twisted road it's been.

I bought because I thought how could I lose @0.0001 and I bought 10 million shares for 1K, that's unheard of I actually made money off those 10 mil. shares when the price kept fluctuating between 1 & 12 and ended up with a crap load of shares!!

I believe most people are still here because they swallowed the dream that many who are no longer here were preaching. I swallowed the dream too until 2005, it was then that my source who ran with IBM and Stocklien gave me the facts. So it is amusing when I see people criticize me when they don't have the source that I had. So I am here to watch the end if it ever comes. Have a Good Night
