Dream on.... if some of you guys really think that a company like BHP or some other large coal player is going to buyout CMK, I got a bridge to sell you....who the heck is going to buy some old coal mine that is leased mainly from the Colorado State Wildlife Deptment...are you kidding?....that's like trying to build a mine on land that's owned by Ducks Unlimited lol....imagine the restrictions that are placed on them...look, old Bates took his shot at selling this mess...but the time has come and gone...coal is on the downtrend and so is his window of opportunity...there was never plans for Cline to mine New Elk...they have never operated any mine before and it shows...it was a dog and pony show hoping somebody would bite...all the while Bates and the board were and still are lining their own pockets...I have been watching this very closely for a year and a half..I have done extensive dd on this company and I have tried to share it with others...some have communicated with me privately and many have openly scorned and belittled me...but thats ok...your words really don't hurt me at all...but I will have my say and the pumpers here will not deter me... many here have bought this pathetic stock purely on hype and now they hate seeing anybody saying anything negative about CMK...too bad for u guys...and the ones that say they did their dd, well then you know that all along this was a spec play and unlike many say, it's nothing like the former WTN and GCE...nothing at all...not even in the same country...what are you guys thinking??...after saying all that...I do trade this stock on both sides, so I have every right to post here same as the rest of you...and here's something to think about...that snakeoil salesman Bates (imo) is like in his 80's...what happens if he croaks tomorrow (we all die sometime)...then where do u think this company is going without it's major driving force??...buyer beware because this company is on the brink of disaster imo....but I also expect some kind of nr that pops this stock a bit because the insiders are still holding their cheap options...they will get paid one way or another imo....contrary to what many may think, I do not like to see the little investors get hurt because we are palyed like suckers by the big boys in Canada, they do what they want to without any reprecussions...very sad...so keep your eyes open and try to listen to both sides of the story...hitting the ignore button is not the way to be objective...well that's all for today...Happy Family Day to all ...have a great one...JMHO GLTA
