Greetings CMKX Shareholders,
This past couple of weeks has been agonizing for many of us around this office. I have been unable to speak with you because of the uncertainty we had about Kevin Wests hiring. I have been waiting for the press release that came out today. Kevin has been hired by CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Kevin told us a couple of weeks ago that he was discussing employment with Urban and other individuals at the company. At the time these discussions began, we mutually agreed that he would not work out of this office until there was a final agreement on his employment with CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Thus, we have not seen Kevin for a couple of weeks. In general terms he has called to tell us his progress relative to this employment change but we are not privy to the details of his hiring.
In my opinion, this is a good day for the shareholders of CMKX stock. I have had the opportunity to work with Kevin for the last 18 months. He is knowledgeable and most importantly he is a dedicated advocate for the shareholder. He is a fast learner and a self starter. He was generally the first to be at work and one of the last to leave. His work at this office went far beyond CMKX matters. He can help the company in many of its challenges.
Hiring Kevin tells me the company is dead serious about the matters that were covered in the last press release of the company. It is clear evidence to me that an interpleader will be filed. It is an indication to me that efforts are being made by the company to have its stock trade again. How long it will take is anyones guess, but I believe Kevin will move as quickly as he is allowed to move.
There will be some who will criticize Kevins hiring. Some will say this is a stall tactic or another token gesture to appease the shareholder group we have put together. This would be quite an error in judgment on the part of CMKM management if Kevin were hired for such reasons. Kevin and I spent hours discussing many things before Kevin finalized his decision to work for the company. I can promise you that Urban knew how Kevin felt about the plight of the shareholders, before an agreement was reached.
When you work with someone on a daily basis for 18 months, you have a pretty good feel about someones ability to handle pressure situations. Kevin gave this job offer a lot of thought before accepting this position. He has every intention of helping the company and the shareholders at the same time.
Kevin may not be Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, but he has a unique ability to calmly analyze troublesome situations and apply common sense solutions. His calm but firm demeanor has helped resolve many disputes. He is not easily swayed once he believes in a course of action. I do not know all the problems facing CMKX, but we all know the obvious ones. Kevin will figure out a way to begin delivering regular information to you. It may take Kevin a while, but I expect you will soon have a phone number to call and a live person you can contact with your questions. Anything Kevin approves in a press release in the future, I will believe until proven otherwise. Why would I make such a statement in light of the last couple of years of CMKX problems? Because Kevin is a man of character and morally sound. He simply has never lived a lifestyle that we often see when corporate greed overtakes the obligations to work in the best interests of the shareholders.
I am hopeful this is the first press release of many to come in the next few months. I do not expect all of you to jump with joy simply because we believe this is good news. I would suggest however that you give Kevin some time to get a handle on the problems. You can then make your own decisions on his ability to get this company back on course. I have been fielding calls lately from various shareholders telling me of their desire to begin legal proceedings against the company. I will not encourage you nor discourage you from pursuing litigation. You make your own decision in that regard. I plan to cooperate in any way I can with Kevin in hopes that the company will take the necessary steps to build this company back.
Kevin knows the shareholders are a group that has endured much frustration and on occasions misdirection. He knows the only way he will get your full support is by positive things occurring under his watch. I hope Urban and any one else that is directing the company will give responsibility and support to Kevin. This is one update that I have really enjoyed writing.
Onward,
Bill
