Description: The Naked Truth: Investing in the Stock Play of a Lifetime tells the incredible true story of CMKM Diamonds (CMKX), a tiny diamond mining company whose saga began in a Canadian town and circled the globe via a shadowy web of intrigue and fraud and, ultimately made national headlines. Shareholders were led down an uncertain path where they couldn’t separate guilty from innocent or fact from fiction, a path fueled by rumors, innuendos, and outright lies. 

The Naked Truth illuminates the pandemic problems in our financial markets, and is a microcosm of issues that stock market reform advocates have been investigating for years. As the story unfolds, the reader will learn about the rampant corruption that exists throughout the stock market, from corporate corruption to a financial system that facilitates fraud at every level and a government that only seems to care about keeping the money flowing.
