Runningrich.
Thank you for putting your thoughts down on paper, I for one am extremely grateful for not only for everything you said, because I like you echo all the gratitude for the work that Mr. Hodges has done on our behalf, while all the while being UNPAID, UNSELFISH and without GRATITUDE!
It sickens and appals me when when even after all the work that Mr. Hodges has done that people like that flea bitten mingy mangled mongle still bad mouth him, but when it comes to receiving his package he'll scurry off like the low down skunky rat he is.
Anyway, that's me done with this board, if they allow creatures like this to come back just to bad mouth people, and put down anybody that try's to put out a positive message. What's the point in trying to debate anything?
By the way if there is any doubt whatsoever of whom I'm saying is dragging this board into a rat infested cesspool it's MARBEARCAT!!

From "I'm sure" to "Oh, I'm as sure as sure can be, for me"
Oh goodie, I'm glad that got straightened out. OPINIONS are like azhls...... Everyone has one. AND that is JUST yours.
Clarification is a good thing

Different strokes for different folks.....

DIAMOND JEDI MASTER
Once again we are graced with what has become an annual update tradition...once again we remain without satisfaction upon its conclusion.
And once again those who speak this obvious truth are tarred and feathered for blasphemous treason against the CMKX body...so I'm already ready for my share of stones to be cast my way.
I'm torn, to be candid. Part of me is glad to see someone other than just another common shareholder (yes, I'm one too) speaking authoritatively of blessings believed to be ours edging their way to us. Part of me is beyond frustrated that so many good people dead and years gone by without resolution or apparent concern, respect, or decency toward us. Part of me used to get excited when this annual message came, these days I'm honestly indifferent...the product of finally understanding until something happens for CMKXers, nothing has happened for CMKXers. Part of me is close to angry, beyond fed up at being treated more like a worthless lab rat than someone who should be expected to have a great payout coming.
Perhaps it's just that I see things Mr Hodges and many other of my fellow CMKX investors apparently don't at this point...only tangible action gets us paid, the rest of it is mere "sound and fury".
--------------------
A donkey in a desert with a glass water bottle tied in front of it will run toward it until he finally collapses from dehydration, never understanding that the water inches from his nose might as well be on Saturn for all the good it can do him.
We too have had a bag of money tied in front of our noses for longer than a decade now, and we run all the harder every time tantalizing tidbits emerge describing how much closer we are to a resolution...the sun glistening off the golden promises of insta-wealth and desirable societal changes seeming so real and within reach.
But whether mule or CMKXer, at some point there has to be a real gain (water, payment)...or sooner or later we drop dead without relief.
---------------------
Mr Hodges may feel constrained by some moral code or assumed obligation to not say anything to us about our condition...but it is my hope that he also feels some level of moral obligation to us as well that extends beyond merely giving an annual update. Maybe we haven't paid him for anything, but equally, we didn't ask him to take on this mantle of telling us about his legal efforts, highlighting these "unusual" programs he clearly endorses, and telling us things that whet our appetite yet always manage to leave us hungry either.
So I respectfully call on him to do more than he has in years past to help inform us of what's going on, beyond "I can tell you this much but nothing else". He's brought us this assertion of impending payments, asked us to take his word for it on credit to date...and we have extended that credit to the reasonable limits IMHO. It's time to answer to the self-imposed obligation he has shouldered toward us, and tell us some substantive (and independently verifiable) things that will help us understand what is actually going on here.
In short he's tied a payment expectation before our collective noses...all I ask is that he more aggressively lead us to the promised "win", or cut the expectation before any more of our figurative a55e5 drop in this desert he's sent us into.
With Respects,
C-Dub

look - just my opinion obviously - but lets go back to what AH said in no uncertain terms "get paid when there is an asset backed currency and safe banking system to go with it - not a second sooner." Using the donkey with a water bottle in the desert (I'm going to have to borrow that, its a great image) analogy but instead of applying to us, apply it to the central banks. The Fed. and other central banks (BIS, etc) have had a genius plan - and I mean it seriously, I think its pure evil and a ponzi scheme but brilliant. We issue you debt you don't need and then you pay us back at 6%, and when you need more, we will just create more currency out of thin air and loan you more at 6%. But what has changed is that they have ballooned the debt so big that the people are at a point where they are ready to just walk away. Its is precisely what Iceland did in part - not pay back sovereign debt. Corporate & Sovereign bonds and derivatives are so massive at this point that the situation leaves very few solutions. Remember too that all this debt is fraudulent dishonest debt. So like a drug dealer giving his users more and more product, and stronger and stronger drugs, at some point the user OD's, which then leaves the dealer without a buyer.
This debt is global and has been grown so much that its bigger than 2008. So not only is it worse, but the bankers are seemingly out of tricks. They have kicked the can down the road to the extent it appears we are nearing the end of that road. I make no proclamations or guesses as to whether it happens next week or next year, but when the people lose all faith in a piece of paper that is backed by "the full faith and credit of the US Gov." then they will demand or only use something they do have faith in. Historically that has been gold, silver and other tangible assets. Perhaps in the future it will be something else or a combination, again I do not know. But when you look around it seems pretty obvious to me the system is sputtering. Who knows maybe they can keep it rolling for a lot longer but I sure as hell don't see it. Theres another old saying that comes to mind - give'em enough rope ...
So I don't quarrel with anyone's frustration or criticism for AH and others not saying more. But I think there is tangible evidence all around. In law we have something sometimes referred to as the "threshold issue." And in our case the threshold issue is an asset backed currency and new banking system, then payment. When you the banks in a last ditch effort employ "bail-ins" & negative interest rates, I think we will all be glad we weren't paid until we're all on the other side of that ish.
Happy New Year ya'll
MH
*** oh wait I almost forgot - "ALL IMHO," Cheers MH

What may have happened over the last few years is, they ran the price up to see how it would react. Then they ran the price down again to get the system in line with what ever would be next.. JMHO--->crazy, I Know...  |

Good point, John. There's no doubt the elasticity in pricing also carries with it geo-political implications. I have a buddy who has a theory that the US is simply using the world's oil supply (rather than tapping its own) so when the day comes that other countries run low (as if), become enemies rather than allies, or price their assets beyond market reasonability...that's when the US begins to use its own resources. Regardless of his thinking...its obvious the world runs on oil and it appears to influence the value of the buck. Speaking of which, I remember gas prices at 17 cents when I was a kid, well under a buck when I started to drive and near $5 in the last couple years. Cheapest thing in my neck of the woods today is Costco which is 1.75 for reg, 1.99 for premium. It just goes to show...they CAN keep it lower...they just opt not to.

Dow Plunges After Rout in Chinese Market
Weak economic data in China spurs global selloff, while Shanghai Composite declines nearly 7%
By DAN STRUMPF And CHRISTOPHER WHITTLE (Wall Street Journal)
Updated Jan. 4, 2016 11:36 a.m. ET
225 COMMENTS
Global stocks started 2016 with a sharp selloff as fresh signs of economic slowdown in China deepened fears about global growth and lowered hopes for a better year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 445 points, or 2.6%, to 16980 in morning trading, on the heels of a rout in European and Asian markets.

Weaker-than-expected manufacturing data and a falling currency triggered a 7% fall in mainland Chinese stocks that led authorities to halt trading there for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, rising tensions in the Middle East led to volatility in oil prices, offering a further glimpse of the themes investors say are likely to influence markets this year.
The S&P 500 fell 2.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 3.1%.
“The ferocious velocity of the first few minutes in China caught some people by surprise,” said Rob Bernstone, managing director in equity trading at Credit Suisse in New York. “Whatever traders were planning to do today as far as 2016—I think those bets went out the window.”
“It’s an unfortunate way to start the year,” said John Brady, managing director at futures brokerage R.J. O’Brien.
The selloff in China came after data showed Monday that Chinese factory activity fell in December. The data further cast doubt on China’s growth prospects and the effectiveness of Beijing’s policies of boosting monetary and fiscal stimulus to boost growth.
The CSI 300, a benchmark of the largest 300 stocks listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, fell 7% just after 1:30 p.m. local time, triggering a new circuit-breaker system, which took effect Monday.
The selloff in China evoked the volatility there last August that spilled over into markets globally. That selloff brought a decline in the Dow of more than 1,000 points in intraday trading on Aug. 24, but this time so far the U.S. reaction has been more muted.
Elsewhere in markets on Monday:
The pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 2.5%.
The Shanghai Composite Index ended 6.9% lower.
Haven assets rose. Gold gained 1.7% to $1077.90 a troy ounce, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.216% from 2.273% on Thursday. Yields fall as prices rise.
U.S.-traded oil prices fell 0.8% to $36.75 a barrel. Bahrain severed diplomatic ties with Iran on Monday following Saudi Arabia’s decision to cut ties with Iran on Sunday.
Elsewhere in U.S. stocks, some of last year’s biggest gainers were among the hardest hit, including several high-flying technology stocks. Netflix fell 7.1%, while Google parent Alphabet lost 3.9% and Facebook shed 3.9%.
Energy stocks were down less than the broader market, with the S&P 500 energy stock index off 0.6%.
A barometer of stock-market volatility, the CBOE Volatility Index, surged 26% to 22.90.
Emerging markets sustained heavy losses on the back of declines in China. The $34-billion Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Exchange-Traded Fund lost 3.3%.
The Brazilian real fell 2% against the dollar and Brazilian equities dropped 1.6% to 42,646.19, its lowest since March 16, 2007.
China’s currency lost ground. The offshore and onshore yuan both traded at their weakest levels since 2011 after China’s central bank guided its currency weaker Monday.
“As we know with China, it doesn’t take a lot for people to be spooked,” said Atul Shinh, an investment specialist at Investec Asset Management, which oversees $108 billion in assets.
The basic resources and auto sectors, which are both sensitive to Chinese demand, were among the worst hit in European stocks.
In other markets, Brent crude oil prices were volatile. Rising tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran had sparked speculation about a possible disruption to supply, pushing oil prices higher in Asian trade before giving up some gains following the China data release.
Looking ahead, many investors expect to remain focused on the same themes in 2016 as last year. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, a slowdown in Chinese growth and the oil price—as well as its impact on other markets such as U.S. junk bonds—remain top of the agenda.
“We think this year will be difficult,” said Mr. Shinh, whose top picks include shares in financial and technology companies, as well as Japanese stocks.
“We don’t think we’re at the end of the cycle…there are opportunities to be made. [But] it will be tricky,” he added.
Fresh data this week will offer investors more clues as to the health of the U.S. economy.
U.S. factory activity contracted for the second straight month in December, to the lowest since the tail end of the recession The Institute for Supply Management said its gauge of manufacturing activity fell to 48.2 last month from 48.6 in November. A reading below 50 indicates the manufacturing sector is contracting.
Friday brings the closely watched U.S. jobs report for December, which investors will parse for clues on the future course of interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve.

It looks so far as if the Market and the Dollar are in step with the oil prices the last 12 months. It could go to 20 to 18 a barrow. Global market is just starting to catch up with the fall.. Interesting to see how this year turns out. Early yet and not a good out-look. JMHO
