Woodies CCI Club and what am I missing.........just money I guess
For a long time, from summer of 2002 in Orlando, past the Las Vegas conference, the first trade a long, to the second one, on to the third one and so on....alot of people who believed in the slogans would ask.....Where are the donations? This blog has been asking that question since the first day it was published....Where is the beef? Then along came Peregine Charities and PFG and everything was going to be handled by "them'. Two workshops in 2005, one in Denver and one in the Lone Star state brought us these letters that were proudly posted on the WoodiesCCIClub website to show the world that it wasn't someone in the cookie jar.
Wow, it looked great, finally we saw for the first time in over 3 years that..YES, indeed money was going to help the kids as promised. Well, that was 2005 and it's now 2008 and in the last 3 years.....silence......so being the guy who asks questions since the brown shirts in the Woodies CCI Club went out of their way to make my life a living hell, I thought.....maybe I should take a look and see what is out there...in this little cyper world we live in. The first stop was to check out the charity on the letterhead. Peregrine Charities is registered in Illinois so I started there.
Anytime you want to read what is in the pictures, just click them on as you follow along......yes they are good to go......
Well, well you can actually see their filings and also their annual report that is filed with the State of Illinois. For the period starting on 01/01/05 right to the end of the year...12/31/05, so we have the right return anyways....now you can visit the link at the top of each picture if you want to check it out yourself.....
We come to Part XV, the supplementary information and listed are two charities that Peregrine Charities gave money to, Don Duncan Family Foudation in Las Vegas, NV and of course the Make-a-Wish Foundation in Phoenix, AZ. But wait, I thought the letter were from Denver and Irving not the MAW of America. Hummmm, that doesn't add up, I mean why won't it have been entered as giving $11,625.66 to the Denver chapter and
$14,141.45 to the North Texas chapter instead of the main office in Phoenix. Just a question, but I have to think you would be very careful on what you would put on an annual report to the government and sign it....won't you?
So I went one step more and checked out the Don Duncan Family Foundation in Neveda and got this email back after spending an hour and not finding anything about it in Neveda......
YIKES.....no entries.......which means that they "COULD" possibly be in our archival database for "FAILING TO FILE" for more then 10 years....no that doesn't sound good does it? So let's check out the Make-a-Wish database on donors......
Make-a-Wish ends their year on August 31st, so that means that any donation made after August 31, 2005 would be in their 2006 annual report. Both workshop and letters were after that cut off date and according to the annual report filed with the State of Illinois the amount was $35,392.00, but, looking at the 2006 donors list for contributions of over $25,000.00 there is "NO" mention of this donation. Now I know what you might be thinking, yea...I bet they are in the 2005 report and he is just bad mouthing our hero....he wouldn't do this. Well, check it out dude....check it out.
So what do you believe, who is telling the truth, who is using smoke and mirrors to squrriel away cash from the workshops. You can visit the Make-a-Wish annual press releases by typing in "make a wish 2006 annual" or even "make a wish 2005 annual" and it's was the third one down on my google search engine. Why isn't there any mention of either Peregrine Charities, (which up to this point, I thought was beyond reproach(, Ken Woods or the Woodies CCI CLub. And now, everyday the push is on to get everyone to buy the DVD box set so that the money can go to the kids......and I ask WHO'S KIDS????
WAKE UP FOLKS.......if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, most likely it ain't going to lay you a golden egg anytime soon.
The Woodies CCI Club and it's short term future
There are always those little secrets that float around, you know, what no one wants to talk about and are afraid to ask in the first place. It seems that after the last Vegas workshop, of course, it's not called a Trade-a-Long any more because in order to actually trade along....someone would have to been trading and showing their stuff in real time and anyone that has been to one of them knows...what ain't going to happen.
So it's a workshop now, some theory, some what if's, some speakers who talk about this and that and a few hours of getting the good ole sales pitch...the best dog and pony show since PT did it himself. Well, it seems that not everyone was happy with this latest attempt to push products or the endless pushing for the newbies to buy the DVD box set and the ground is shifting again as some might just to ready to come from the dark side and walk out of the Land of Wood and into the light........
Come out of the dark shadows and it will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not back into temptation again, but deliver us from that evil. For his kingdom, his power and his glory will never be again but your own light will become much brighter as it should..........and so we wait for the news...we wait to see who is next on the list of from the 16 members of the Hall of Flame to go up in smoke....

Some days all you can do is smile........
Some days all you can do is smile and wait for some kind soul to come pull your ass out of the bind you've gotten yourself into. That is exactly what we try to do in the chat room everyday, nothing to sell, no hidden agenda, nothing to sign up for, no prefurred broker, open and free to all, no puppets and where you can PM others and chat about whatever, it's just a bunch of fellow traders trying to keep from gettin into a tight spot and our feet on the ground.
If you are afraid to speak your mind in the WoodiesCCIClub.com then why not spread your wings, lift your head and help us light up some more candles....

Fruits and Vegetables of America.....Unite!!!!!
COLUMBIA, SC - Senator Hillary Clinton in a speech to the Farm Workers of America gave some background to the 35 years of experience that she believes makes her the most qualified to be the next Democratic presidential nominee; here is part of that speech:
"I think it's fitting that I'm addressing you, the hard working class of fruit and vegetable workers, since, my early start in public life was as a vegetable, so to speak. I was not crowned Miss Iceberg Lettuce, as some would have you believe, at the Illinois Warren County fair, but was runner up as Miss Split Pea. I was crowned Miss Split Pea after it was discovered the original winner was a transvestite.”
As Miss Split Pea, I traveled to various state fairs throughout the country. I eventually, met Bill at the Hope County Fair in Arkansas. He was quite the ladies man even then, eyeing Miss Melons, Miss Peach and Miss Flowers. I really got to know him after he was crowned Mr. Dill Pickle and we started working together, organizing State Fairs. We eventually married and forgive me if I get a little teary eyed, produced a little pearl onion, Chelsea -- whew, that was tough.”
With the help of Mr. Potato Head, Miss Collard Green, Mr. String Bean, Miss Carrot Top and countless others, I worked to merge County and State fairs into a National organization. Had I known then what I know now I might have done things differently. There were some, like Mr. Black-Eyed Pea, Miss Artichoke, Miss Leeks and I believe Mr. Sauerkraut who disagreed with the policy and wanted to get out immediately without any thought of the consequences. I disagreed with that position thinking it very naïve and showing total lack of experience.”
"I learned from those early days that experience counts and that change without understanding is not the prudent path to follow.”
"And so I ask, you when you cast your vote, to remember the experience of Miss Split Pea versus the naiveté of Mr. Black-Eyed Pea.”
"Thank You and God bless the fruits and vegetables of America."

Just one of those days....were you short....???
Well, if you were short since December 27, 2007 that is great....the world has been upside down for several weeks. Recession in the air, sub-primes on the rope, credit tightening up, disappointing earnings....the list is long enough for sure.
Then came Monday, a holiday here in the USA and the markets were closed as the pacific rim took it on the chin. I found it very interesting to see why the US market was closed, we have a huge selloff.....seen funny to me.....just a little funny. But, after years of doing this everyday, it also seems normal.
You know, you see a stock selling off for some reason overnight, on low volume and then when the market opens everyone is heading for the door, you have to wonder who is on the other side of your trade.......and why would "they" be buying if the stock is crapola. Which brings me back to this open, the FIRST BAR TRADE was in one word.....WOW
Those in the chat room had a good run this morning right off the open. I wonder how many trader were shorting at some point this morning, thinking about the news, what MARIA said, and some newsletter thought. Maybe if you were one of them, you might want to think about why.........because it was a dead cat bounce.

Well, this says it all.....doesn't it.
Depress....Depressed........Depression...........
There is no doubt the Fed and the PPT are meeting right now. A drop of over 300 points on the Dow after the Chairman of the Federal Reserve speaks publicly presages a $1000 break in gold coming quite quickly, if not tomorrow.
Unless the equity markets can be calmed, a panic is about to happen, making the statement "This is it" a horrible reality.
If the equity markets cannot be calmed then:
Recognize this is the Formula happening like everything else much sooner and much bigger in its implications than anticipated. Gold will rise to $1650 as an almost immediate effect of what will be done to attempt to fend off a total panic starting to take place in general equities, therein threatening to be followed by all credit markets of all kinds. The funds and hotshot short term traders in gold shares will be killed by the upward explosion of the gold price about to occur.
The PPT and the Fed will step out of gold’s way because gold is one of the tools used in 1930 by Roosevelt and in 2000 by Bush. It will be used again now on the upside. Gold is the only insurance there is against what all this means because a panic in equities will blow the financial system, already coming apart, to smithereens. All country funds would shut down on any further investments in "at the wall" financial institutions. The rollover in credit and default derivatives would exceed the entire foreign debt of the USA.
The rest of the $450 trillion dollar mountain of derivatives would start a disintegration like nothing you have every seen in your lifetime. Consumer demand would slam shut. The auto industry might as well go into liquidation this coming Monday, avoiding the June 2008 rush. The US dollar would burn a hole in the floor going directly to .5200 or lower. As the dollar disintegrates gold would rocket to and through $1650 in days.
The markets for general equities would all have to institute total trading halts every 100 points on the downside for 30 minutes each. All commercial call loans would be called. All debtors one day late on any payment, lacking grace period, would be liquidated. All debtors over one day of the grace period would be liquidated. It is clearly visible to anyone with eyes or a mind to think that the PPT has lost all semblance of control in the equity markets and will soon in all remaining markets.
The commercial paper credit market which is almost dead will die totally.
Should no emergency action take place soon, you will see an old fashioned panic of the 1929 variety. Just as emotional fools sell gold and gold shares, be assured that more emotional general equity fools will unload and bring the averages down more than ever in history in one day. Recognize this is the Formula happening like everything else much sooner and much bigger in its implications than anticipated.
Emergency action will be all splash and theatrics but truthfully the cat is out of the bag. It buys some time but corrects nothing. It makes the Formula 100% correct.
There now must be EMERGENCY ACTION because the Chairman of the Fed has BOMBED OUT PUBLICLY and a PANIC is about to occur. Expect EMERGECNY ACTION in days, not weeks.
If you have not protected yourself, you may only have days to do so now., now you can go to bed and dream.....that somehow these market gurus that think to much and actually trade very little will wake up to one fact. There is always two sides to the market.....and their opinion means ZIPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
I got a ton of emails a day.....but this one...WOW!!!
So there I was, with nothing to do, the markets were closed today, it's the middle of winter and really cold outside, nothing on TV-Land, so I thought well let me see if there are any emails that need an answer...........
My heart dropped as this was the first email to come up.....as I read thru it, I noticed a couple of things......."Deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and indicated". Hummm, shouldn't that be indicted.
OF course, I'm not sure, but I think the email address could be a problem also, I mean do you really think that the IRS would use the email address of tax_refund@google.com?
But we could surely use that $203.59......couldn't we? But, I guess it would be safe to just click on the link and give them my credit card info so they could credit my account......would they need my Social Security number also.....?

Why I do what I do..........you need to ask...
There are people who believe....and I am fine with this, that I am up to something...no one just helps others, no one just take their time to lend a hand in some way without an agenda......there is just no way.
I must to selling something, a book, a magazine, systems, private sessions, something. Well, like I said, believe what you want.
But for those who have an open mind, they have been having some success with their trading. They have been doing better....maybe not big time better, that is only smoke and mirrors.....but better everyday, every week....they are feeling good about their trading and see a brighter future......
And for those.......they don't care either what people may said either because they know for them.....it's all about having a new beginning, that is what drives me not just a few pieces of gold from the sheep.......

And it's off to Hew Hampshire......what about Wyoming??
By Adam Poxonu
THE ORANGE PEKOE NEWSCONCORD, New Hampshire -- Just days before the January 8th New Hampshire Primary, a focus group of Democrats, Republicans and Independents was gathered at the Winnacunnet High School auditorium. The Ladies Tea and Biscuit Club of Chicks Corner thought ---“we the people…” --- should be asking the Presidential hopefuls the questions instead of the “talking heads”.
While the mainstream media were not invited, student Eric Shun managed to get some of the session on his iPHONE to share with us.Unfortunately, the responses were inaudible due to the candidates trying to yell over one another. Here, is part of the transcript:
Mr. Mike Huckabee,“Apart from being ‘able to leap tall buildings in a single bound’ your campaign suggests you can do anything because you’re the closest to God. Do you think now, is the time to change your name to Clark Kent?”
Mr. John Edwards,“In your debate of 2004 with Vice President Cheney you said --- “the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing ---” I’m sure your comment was out of concern and sensitivity and nothing more. So the question to your sensitive side is which cowpoke in the movie Brokeback Mountain would you embrace?”
Governor Romney,“Many people are questioning the reinventing of yourself on positions you held in the past such as abortion, immigration, gay rights, the environment, it’s almost as if for the last several years you’ve been in outer…
“Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”…
…Thank you sir, I come in peace.”
Senator Obama,“There have been reports suggesting you are a distant cousin to Vice President Dick Cheney. If you were quail hunting with Dog the Bounty hunter and your buckshot went errant, would you hit him on the right side of the face or the left testicle?”
Senator Clinton,“You say you have 35 years of experience. Do you think you may be over qualified to be President of the United States?”
Senator McCain, “You have a reputation of having a quick temper. If you were in a heated discussion with Senator Byrd that you didn’t think was going to be resolved; would you turn your back and walk away or kick his walker and let him fall flat on his face?”
Mr. Fred Thompson,“Dr.Robert Boucher,FDA ear nose and throat specialist, has warned of a sudden reduction or loss…ah, over this way Mr. Thompson… of hearing following the…I have a sore throat but I’ll try to speak louder… use of Viagra,Cialis and Levitra. Do you think it’s necessary in light of this and other recent problems to revamp the procedures used by the FDA?”
Mayor Giuliani,“From the beginning of your public career, some of your actions have suggested insensitivity and grandstanding. When you were U.S. Attorney you had the Kidder, Peabody executives led away in handcuffs, while, Mayor of New York City you put pressure on the squeegee guys, your second wife, Donna Hanover, has had issues with your behavior and more recently, questions have been raised about expenses incurred while you were having an affair with your current third wife, Judy. Do you think this propensity for rubbing people the wrong way…
“…could you repeat the question, I was on my cell with Judy”…
…never mind I think my question was answered.”
[Barely audible] “Edna if you take one more of Clara’s Snickerdoodles I’m going to stick my hand down that big fat butt of yours and give you a wedgie that’ll take an hour to undo.”
