NUMBERS WE CAN ALL RELATE TO.
Let's simply look at this as a business proposition. Let's assume that bashers have induced selling from approximately 400 millon shares held by weak or newbie investors (I doubt the number is that high but let's just say it is). Now let's say all the good news we hope for hits and shorts have to cover. And let's say it takes the price to a conservative 5 cents. Now if we take the actual number of Ms Shell's bashing hours, averaging 50 hours per week for the past 8 weeks (400 total hours) we can deduce the following Return on Investment equation.
Sold shares = 400 million x .0004 = $160,000
Price at which shorts would have HAD to cover = .05 x 400M = $20 million
Cost saved = $20 million - $160,000 = $19,840,000
Per hour return = $19,840,000 divided by 400 hours = $49,600 per hour
Now THAT would be a wise investment in resources and perhaps would help some to understand possible motives for the appearance of certain invidividuals here. As a business proposition, it just makes sense. We believe CMKX is a wise investment. And I believe that whoever may be backing Ms Shell and her merry band may also view their investment as wise. The above figures, if true, would certainly support that.
PLEASE NOTE: I do not believe the above. This is called humor, albeit subtle. (However, I do believe that the bashers probably did only induce 400M or less shares of selling among the 10s of billions traded in the past few weeks.)

As always, these are my personal opinions.
Hopefully nobody in here is investing anything but "fun" money that they can afford to gamble with.
