Featured Column: Investing 101 - Mar 8, 2010
- A Blueprint for Corruption
by Mark Faulk
(Editor's note: This is the first of a series of excerpts from The Naked Truth: Investing in the Stock Play of a Lifetime, by Mark Faulk. Released in 2008, it is a cautionary true story about a financial system rife with corruption, and predicted last year’s market meltdown. The subject of the book, CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (CMKX), eventually triggered a massive investigation involving the FBI, DOJ, IRS, and SEC, and led to numerous major lawsuits and multiple federal criminal indictments. The Naked Truth: Investing in the Stock Play of a Lifetime is available at www.thenakedtruthbook.com/) "You have to kill the company to hide the crime." ~Bill Frizzell
This story is about CMKX, but it could just as easily be about any of hundreds, or even thousands of penny stock companies. Shareholders invest their hard-earned money only to watch helplessly as potential turns into disaster, and dreams of wealth and riches become nothing more than so many empty promises. This ongoing scheme has been growing unchecked for decades.
It is a complex and well-oiled machine where every component from the paid shills on the message boards to the highest levels of Wall Street represents an important cog in the scheme. None of this is by accident. Every entity and person involved plays a role in the orchestrated scheme to defraud America. Those who are not involved in the actual act of defrauding the middle class are either helping to facilitate the robbery, or destroying the evidence after the fact.
This conspiracy has no clear beginning, and up to now, no ending; it is both carefully planned and self-perpetuating. This example revolves around CMKM Diamonds simply because it is the largest single fraud ever perpetrated in the world of penny stocks. It is the central flashpoint where 50,000 shareholders were unwittingly led into the epicenter of corruption. CMKX was indeed the Perfect Storm. It was a feeding frenzy of excitement evolving into obsession, hopes lapsing into despair, and dreams turning into nightmares.
It’s been said that a person can rob more money with a pen than with a gun. But with the advent of electronic trading, stock message boards, and spam emails, it is the click of a mouse that is the most deadly weapon of all. The details might differ from one scam... more

Recently President Obama has come out in favor of increasing the amount of power we generate from nuclear sources. This is his approach to reducing emissions, in face of the growing threat from global warming and the total inability of our country to come to grips with the need to reduce reliance on CO2-generating coal, oil, and natural gas. Obama isn’t the first on the left to endorse nuclear as an option; however, he is in a better position than all those who came before him to actually carry it to fruition. So, before we embark upon a big, and difficult to reverse, step in this direction, I would like to ask him a few questions. It’s possible he’s thought these things through; if so, I think we, the citizens of the world, deserve to know what he’s thinking. After all, this is our world, too, and we have to... more

Two years ago, I took a big step, one I never thought I would take. I ended my life-long affiliation with the Democratic Party, and changed my registration to Independent. I thought it would feel strange, sad, and empty after thirty years with the same party, supporting them financially when I could, and by my vocal and ardent support when I was financially unable. I was wrong. There wasn’t a single hint of regret, and I haven’t felt any since. Now, I freely throw away all their exhortations for donations, and channel my donations directly to candidates who have merited my support, regardless of party affiliation. The events of the past year have convinced me that my decision was a sound one. As we embarked upon a difficult and dangerous leg of our journey through history, the voters handed the Democrats the helm of the ship of state, trusting them... more
