I previously suggested readers buy during the last dip, 1.55 / 1.60 or so. ALMI is up another .13 on the day. Now sitting on 1.90 / 1.92 per.
Please consider watching AMLI for these periodic dips every couple of months. Written before, ALMI will not crash on you. This is an excellent stock for periodic profits on dip plays.
ALMI is a solid developing company with a CEO who is completely honest and never plays games.

Currently up .15 on the day. This _might_ be an indicator ALMI will again move up to the 2.00 per share or better. I would not expect ALMI to exceed 2.05 per nor stay above 2.00 per for more than one week.
My expectation is ALMI will slip back to the 1.90 to 1.95 range in two weeks, after pushing through 2.00 for a brief period of time.
posted
Currently 1.98 per. My hope is those who bought on the last dip to 1.55 / 1.60 per, as suggested, are still holding.
My opinion, which is dubious, if you are to flip this, sell around 2.02 to 2.04 per share. Historically, ALMI has difficulty maintaining a price above 2.00 per share.
Watch closely for signals to the contrary.
A 10Q is to be released soon. Not sure what effect this will have. When released, this might present some good buying chances.
I urge readers who bought at my suggested price to watch very closely for any hint of a downturn.
In the past, ALMI has run up to 2.10 to 2.25 per share but this does not last long. Not sure what level prices will reach. I think this is buying in anticipation of the next 10Q filing to be released.
At 2.00 per and above, you are on your own! I have done my part to earn you profits, rather good profits.

wow, quite a day for ALMI; closed at a new all-time high of 2.20! took swing-chunk of 1/3 off the table a little too early at 2.15, still holding my long position/the remaining 2/3.

Blue, I did the same, well I didn't really do it, I had an open sell order for 2.15 for a week just sitting. I sold off 1/3 or my total and now just waiting to get back in. I like the whole pulling out 1/3 of my orginal. but I modified it a little, by taking out the cash value of what I put in so I am indirectly increasing the amount of my long position. Glad I had got some more at 1.59 to swing for a day like today. I might regret it tommorrow but I always have my long position to sit on if it goes up more.

I would expect this type of behavior to continue into the future; periodic dips and slow steady up runs.
Be sure to watch closely just before the next 10Q and day of release. My "expectation" is Jacobson will report a mild improvement in his bottom line and a mild net loss.
This 10Q is due very soon.
His 10Q for _next_ quarter should show a very good improvement in his bottom line with a possible break even net status, but I lean towards a mild loss as he continues to roll over his revenues into Dragon Mine operations.
I do not expect these 2.20 per share, give or take a bit, to last very long. I might be suprised, though!
Next time ALMI dips down to bargin basement prices, those who did not buy, I will again suggest you do buy. This is not the first time ALMI has behaved this way.

This, readers, is a classic example how to earn profits safely, rolling your profits over into a more safe investment vehicle which earns monthly returns plus equity growth. In this case, a small percentage of profits is used for upkeep and will be part of a $1200 per month return.
Should we buy yet another rental with ALMI profits, our equity growth will be a minimum ten to fifteen percent per year with extra earnings of $1200 per month in rental income.
Eventually, after paying property taxes and yearly upkeep, excess rental income will be rolled back into the stock markets to use to earn profits to buy another home to rent out. Usually takes me about two years to earn enough profits through stocks to pay cash for a house.
Once again, this an example of effective and prudent money management. An example of not buying toys, of not blowing money, of doing without in life to enjoy much greater gains later in life.

I must admit that I'm just holding strong. I dumped some shares out of my regular account to help a friend, and it was all I could do. I'm not going to dump any more as the bulk of my shares are in the retirement account and they've done me more good than any of my other investments, given the state of the market. I quite understand taking profit and using it to my benefit however. If I could, I would do the same. I'm NOT feeling bad about helping my friend. In a way, I've already been paid back (ahead of time), so I'm not worried. I'm quite happy to see ALMI hit a nice new high. I don't mind the dips. Like you Purl, I think the new 10q will show that the losses are lower. I don't expect to see a profit for a while, but as long as the losses go down... I spent too many years working for a family business to expect profits right away. Posts: 39 | Registered: Mar 2005

We are on the same page, Granny. I am very comfortable with Jacobson's business plan; he is performing as we would expect.
My expectation is when Jacobson finally brings his Dragon Mine into full production and begins retailing his clay by the tons, then we will see exceptionally handsome profits.
His has been a long process but his strategy is slow, safe, prudent development rather than charging headlong into high debt. I like his method of earning revenues elsewhere, then rolling those revenues over into his mine. This is much like our rolling profit revenues over into real estate.
Jacobson is playing this safe and straight.
We still maintain a large holdings in ALMI but have a need, currently, to dump some money into repairing a vacant rental.
Our choice is to use profits for this so those profits can earn income for us.
Much looking forward to the next dip to buy more ALMI stock.

When my folks opened their bookstore back in 1981, the general rule was 7 years before pulling a profit. I'm quite sure that given the current state of market, etc that would be more like 10 years. I could be wrong. I'm just happy that the losses for ALMI are going down. I know that they were a bit more last year, but lumber prices had a detrimental effect.
As for the moment, I'm very impatient waiting for UPS to show up! I have pics of my newest grandbaby in there! To heck with stocks, I want my piccies! Posts: 39 | Registered: Mar 2005

I am keeping our girl locked in my kitchen pantry until she is thirty-five. Darn if she will make a grandmother of me! My hair is graying enough as is, because of our daughter. Do not need another child to turn my hair white with worry!

My oldest grandson informed me on Saturday that his baby brother is walking now. I'm feeling a bit resentful at being more than 600 miles away and unable to go visit at the moment. It's still better than the 3000 miles difference when my first grandson was born. My pic in my profile may not show it as I have red hair, but I have my grey streaks also. I got those from my son (mostly, though I'm responsible for a few of my own), but he's done well and I'm proud of him. We do our best for our children, then they choose their own way.
I must admit to an advantage over you. Sons are easier and I'm the only female in 80 yrs in my family. I can roof a house, rebuild a two-stroke engine, and do plumbing, etc. I can also cook and sew...jeeeeeeeez, how did that happen?????
Gads, to top that off, my other half isn't intimidated by my abilities. He encourages them. Bless the man!!!!! Sometimes we get lucky in life and I'm lucky. I have ALMI stock (given how much I knew at the time, some of it is lucky)and the best family in the world.

You are a handsome woman and do not look the bit of a grandmother! Slim and trim, to boot!
I am jealous.
* looks over her shoulder at her big butt *
Very jealous.
For my profile, I only use pictures twenty years old or older. I never tell anyone this.
I suppose I will be a grandmother, eventually. Our girl is focusing on her career and getting ahead in life. She says she will not marry and start a family until she is at least thirty. I support her on this. Sometimes I suspect she will remain single for life.
We have several long time girl friends in our family, now into their forties, never married and no kids. They seem very happy.

readers are adviced to dump their shares as ALMI is headed south all the way... look at tcll as how previous P&D scam worked.. hardworkign american families have already lose 35% of their money on P&D scam of tcll. and it might be pumped again..

I'm so glad to hear that news. I'm also glad that you support her in that effort. BTW, my pic is only a couple years old...I was still over 40 I may not look like a granny, but I feel like one.
Remaining single is not a bad thing. If I had had any sense, I would never have married (the first time, mind you). I got more than lucky the second time around. I got lucky in that while my father was "old school" sorta, he taught me that I could accomplish whatever I wanted. I just wish I had taken his lessons more to heart when I was younger. My current (and last) hubby, has extended my pop's lessons and turned me loose with his (not mine, though "ours" it may be) retirement money.
I have to admit, that is as good a statement of "faith" as anything I could come up with. My ego is stoked. He doesn't mind my occasional failures and, like my dad, chalks them up to learning experiences. Bless the man. Just in case...NO he's NOT my father!!!!! He just has some of his good qualities. Besides, to give him credit, he's the one who came home and mentioned Halloysite.

"If I had had any sense, I would never have married..."
In today's world, a common mistake of young people is marrying far too soon. Older now, I am still in touch with many of my students from a decade or more back, when I taught in public schools. Some are doing ok but most married right off and are having a tough go of it, especially those who had children right out of high school.
Odd story is ours. I had designs to marry my husband since I was seven years old. Only took ten years to catch him.
I could not ask for a better man.
During my teaching career, I always preached to kids to not marry until they have a good career going and are financially secure. My hope is some did listen.

R.M. do you have any dd to back that statement up? I don't mind bad news, but I do want something to back it up. Yes, a redundant statement, if there ever was one...

frugal, Here are facts about ALMI. Almi ifnancials say it all.
PERIOD ENDING 31-Dec-05 31-Dec-04 31-Dec-03 Total Revenue 628 1,035 305 Cost of Revenue 1,312 568 335 Gross Profit (683) 468 (30)
Look at the Dec 04-Dec 05. Revenues Halved, Net Loss increased by 300%. Take a look at the current quarters performances.
quarter/quarter performance has increased slightly, because of the overall sector doing good. However, looks like the company has huge variations from quarter to quarter as far as revenues/profits are concerned. so, if I look at annual financial performance of the company, the company seems to be headed south, since it neither is generating significant increases in revenues, nor is it able to maintain quarter to quarter consistency to justify its current stock price of 2.15. This is not a company in either pharma or defense sector, where one contract or one patent can change the companies portfolio overnight. In addition, over the past 1 year PR's that yahoo allows me to check, ALMI has not been able to secure any form of private placement of its shares for significant source of funding. Instead, all it is doing is diluting shares into open market to get funding for their operations.
now the reason I said it will go down today is because of charts. RSI is soaring above 80 and it was being pumped like crazy. that might be fine with you since you would quickly exit out at this point and buy back in.. but for the people who will be reading ALMI for first time, will jump in to get some shares and make money. it will steadily go down for another 2-3 days unless may be some news.

now needless to say, there are tonnes of other companies with much larger holdings, generating lot more revenues, with more funds in hand, trading lower than ALMI. what almi has is a pump and dump machinery which wakes up once a month.. and newbie investors get sucked in and left out with bags.

Well, whoop de farkin doo... a five cent drop is a bottom out crash!!!!! Yes, I realize that the last year's numbers were bad. I also realize that the lumber prices at the time had a lot to do with it. Did you not catch my little bit about businesses suffering losses for first few years?. If you discount the fact that the lumber prices were down, thus making lumbering impractical, you would see that the losses were lessening, not mounting. If you have anything further in the way of dd, feel free to share. But please, for heavens sake, give me something I don't know already!!!

This afternoon, we are working on one of our rentals. A boy from down the street, one of our tenants in another house, shows to mow lawns for us. I am bent down rinsing myself off being all dirty and sweaty. He up and says,
"You have a lot of gray hair."
I hosed him down really good then sent him back home.
Next month, I will raise his rent! Just kidding.
I refuse to become old! Stopped by Vons and picked up a Lady Clairol kit; Raven Black.

re: ALMI, perhaps one reason for the recent bump-up in price were that the NNAN and BIPH shareholder meetings were july 18 and 19. clearly, as discussed in this thread on several occasions, NNAN/BIPH/ALMI have quite strong ties. perhaps some of the buying came from people who walked away impressed at halloy-potential after attending the BIPH and NNAN shareholder meetings?

Excellent logic on your part, Blue. This is a rather viable bit of reasoning. Makes good sense and is certainly a possibility.
I am having difficulty justifying current prices remaining so stable. This is not typical for ALMI stock. Historically, during decent markets, ALMI "wants" to be just below 2.00 per share.
At first I thought maybe a pre-10Q run up but does not seem quite adequate to explain these high stable prices.
Your thinking, as always, is excellent. Just might be, certainly there are buyers in a rush to load up on ALMI. Your thoughts are in keeping with "inside knowledge" being at play.
"Something" simply _must_ be happening which is causing this up run AND stability in prices.
Can you blame me for wanting you as a second husband?

Thank you Purl. I feel like a moron at the moment, but it shall pass... like all bad food. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, I've obviously spent too much time around my other half and our best friend. Ok, it's obviously time to read some more Rimbaud. I shall return when I'm able to post a bit more coherently. Thanks for the help though. It's truly appreciated.
