80k at one time all-told in the family (which includes my dad and twin brother and my 2 kids), but - like an idiot, sold ~half along the way, *sigh*. oh well, live and learn.
on the bright side, i didn't sell much at all from my 12-yr old son's small lawnmowing/birthday-$ account that i put in ALMI for him back at .18, he is a happy camper about Atlas. that $ is earmarked for his first house fund 10 years down the road, so a nice head start (thank you yet again, Queen Parking Bee).
thank goodness i also bought ALMI for my 10-yr old daughter's account, otherwise i would have seriously been in the doghouse with both her and my wife, heh. from now on, if i buy a stock for my kids, i have to make sure to buy equal amounts of identical stocks for both kids. lesson learned!

Chester Mining Company Begins Receiving Royalties from Production at the Dragon Mine Monday March 7, 9:00 am ET
SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2005--Chester Mining Company (OTC:CHMN - News) has begun receiving royalties from its Dragon Mine in Utah under lease to Atlas Mining Company (OTC:ALMI - News) of Osburn, Idaho. The Chester royalties (which are in addition to annual lease payments) are based on a 3 percent gross production royalty from the mine, from which Atlas Mining Co. has been shipping ore since December when it received a purchase order for up to 5,000 tons of its processed halloysite clay from NanoDynamics at a price of $500 per ton.
Halloysite is high-value clay and its fine particle size enables it to be used extensively as a suspension agent in glaze preparations.
The Dragon Mine is located in Juab County, Utah, and is the only known deposit of halloysite clay in North America that is large enough to be mined commercially.

Sharkone, I can't speak for the stock itself. I own shares and I intend to just hang on to them as I feel it will improve, but not in a hurry.
The nanotube business is still in its infancy. While they have found uses for the halloysite nanotubes already, it's going to take time before more uses are determined. The Dragon mine is unique and that's why I intend to hang on patiently and just wait it out.

Abstract: Much of the publicity surrounding nanotechnology covers leading-edge applications with the potential to create tremendous disruptive changes in key industries such as semiconductors. Whilst the intensive support of these projects is critical, nearer-term opportunities must be grasped across a range of technology platforms and markets in order to gain experience in the production of new nano materials and systems in more immediate opportunities. These product enhancements - more significant than evolution, less dramatic than disruption - can generate significant volumes and opportunities. Examples of ''Enhanced'' products and systems developed by NanoDynamics Inc. in the processing of metals and non-metals will be reviewed and conclusions drawn.

THE NEXT REVOLUTION IN NANOTECHNOLOGY is quietly forming in a Utah mine
Halloysite: the oldest nanotubes
Naturally formed in the Earth over millions of years, halloysite nanotubes are unique nanomaterials with remarkable properties. Like carbon nanotubes (CNTs), halloysite nanotubes are ultra-tiny hollow tubes with diameters smaller than 100 nanometers (100 billionths of a meter).
But instead of carbon, they are composed of aluminum, silicon, hydrogen, and oxygen and are formed naturally in the Earth by surface weathering of aluminosilicate minerals, rather than in laboratories. So they're more abundant and less expensive than CNTs.
Halloysite nanotube applications
Halloysite clay is typically used in the manufacture of porcelain, bone china and fine china. But there's also a wide range of exciting new applications that scientists and engineers at NaturalNano Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of Technology Innovations, LLC, are exploring.
Halloysite nanotubes' unique geometry enables them to be used for storing and delivering various chemicals and materials and controlling their release, making possible a wide range of commercial applications.
They can be filled with such things as coatings, antifouling paint, antiscalants, pesticides, pest repellents, household and personal products, flavors and fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and other agents that could benefit from a controlled release.
The separation challenge
While halloysite nanotubes are found in large quantity in the Earth, the process of mining and separating them is technically challenging. So NaturalNano scientists and engineers are developing a state-of-the-art proprietary process for extracting and separating specific types of halloysite nanotubes from halloysite clay, working with Atlas Mining, which controls the only known source of halloysite in North America: the Dragon Mine site in Juab County, Utah.
The Dragon Mine deposit in Utah is significantly richer in nanotube content than other known halloysite sources
What?s next? Stay tuned. The nano world is about to come down to earth.

I'd love to but no liquid cash in the account!! Purl Gurl, I read your posts religiously. Thank you for all your insights, suggestions and help.

Expect periodic dips like this as market makers manipulate prices to accumulate. They know this stock has the potential to skyrocket, and they know it is very volatile right now.
Sharkone, it is very difficult to jump in on dips like this. Market makers have "inside info" being in a position to know what buy and sell orders are on their desks. They can manipulate prices very easily, and do so quicker than people like us can jump in.
Looks like "front running" to me which is illegal but very common.
Don't worry about ALMI. This is a stock which will continue to increase in value, with scary periodic dips when market makers engage in their daily crimes.
I also read Blue's posts religiously, and Glassman and JoeMillion as well. Thank you all for all your insight. As a newbie I'm learning a greeat deal from all of you.
Purl, I now see all the crazy dips, most of the day I'm in the field teaching and can't get to the 'puter until 3 p.m.ish, and as soon as I looked up ALMI it was at 0.91. But now I see that its going up and down, so I'm not going to worry and hold it looong term.

Yes, hold ALMI long term. When the "nano" aspect of this stock reaches fruitation, I expect ALMI to move up into the 2.00 to 3.00 per share range.
ALMI is just now, literally right now, getting started on extended mining and sales.
There are only two commercial sources of halloysite, ALMI and a company in New Zealand. However, ALMI has high quality nano grade halloysite. In effect, ALMI is the only commericial market source for nano usage halloysite.
We only need a "nano bandwagon" on this one. That will happen eventually, much like BIPH. Both BIPH and ALMI were presented at conference earlier this week. They are "tied together" in this aspect; investors think of both.
As always, there is risk but my opinion is ALMI is very low risk.
"i think it's a good sign... not that i like or approve of this activity,"
Yes, it is a very good sign when a _healthy_ stock is manipulated like this for accumulation. It is a sign many know the stock is "hot" in some aspect.
Today exemplifies a scary aspect of this. ALMI dipped twenty-two (22) percent which is more than enough to cause panic, and trip stop losses. In the end, a stock like this will usually rebound to ten (10) percent down on the day, then take days or weeks to move back up, because the core investors are a small group, waiting for another dip to come along.
That delay in moving back up causes some novice investors to shy away, when they should be buying like crazy, for the long term.
It is those ten to twenty percent dips which are a worry because a "death spiral" can be initiated if a dip is long lasting. So far, good luck on AMLI because the Wall Street criminals, and all of them are hard core criminals, good luck because they have not kept share prices suppressed for more than an hour, or at most, a day.
Glassman also comments,
"it appears to me that some people with "juice" want in...."

Purl Gurl, ALMI Still boundcing between 0.90 and 1.05...how much longer will these bounces occur. I believe that you called it "front running." Last month I wrote a letter to Atlas Mining and they said that mining operations had been slowed down due to heavy snow and snow melt. I wrote back to them a couple of weeks later and asked if they had resumed mining operations and they have not answered back. Should this be reason to be concerned, or is the "front running" an indicator to good things to come. Any imput will be appreciated. Thanks.

Front Running is age old, Shark. This is an illegal activity dating back many decades. It is a very annoying activity because Wall Street is stealing profits from us.
Nonetheless, this activity we see with ALMI is a good indicator, as Glassman suggests. Wall Street knows ALMI is becoming a hot stock and those crooks are working it for every last penny they can steal.
This swing in prices is also a good indicator.
You will notice price swings, like with ALMI, are very mathematical and predictable in nature. Think of a dropped rubber ball. First drop bounces back very high, next a little lower, a little lower, until the ball bounces very quickly but not very high before it finally settles.
That is what ALMI is doing. A firm support level is being formed, which appears to be one dollar per share. ALMI will only move upward now.
Keep in mind the markets really REALLY suck now. DOW down over a hundred points today, huge trade deficit, poor retail results, two wars and the republicans are in charge. Most of all, Bush and his cronies have set circumstances for extremely high gasoline prices and love the money flowing right into their pockets, from ours.
Almost all stocks are depressed in prices now, and there are few buyers willing to risk buying under these horrible conditions created by Cheney and Bush.
ALMI would be at 1.50 per share under average healthy market conditions.
Here is an indicator which is in keeping with my comment about "knowing what is going on" out there in the world.
Today, driving on a Southern California freeway, it was impossible to not notice how light is traffic. I estimate there is one-third less cars out there on the road, with regular gas at almost 2.70 per gallon. That is both good and bad.
Less cars on the road is good for air quality and such, but is a VERY bad economic indicator; most families are hurting bad for money.
My opinion is ALMI is very low risk and there is little to worry about. I am more concerned about President Cheney, his hand puppet Bush, and that liar, John Bolton, destroying world peace and our world economy.

Yes, Glassman. Things are not looking so good.
I should not bring politics into this, but markets are effected by policy decisions. Avoiding launching into one of my long tirades, I will simply state for the second time, Bush is the most stupid, really idiotic president since Nixon.
Problem is, half of the population of America are equally stupid.
Kerry is the lesser stupid of the two. Kerry is a bozo, as all politicians are, but to vote the Bush "homophobic" vote, that is really stupid!
Yeah, market conditions are turning worse than last year. I barely traded last year and this year, even less.
Another "sorta" problem is real estate prices are flattening, which is actually good, but buyers are suddenly in position they most certainly cannot afford to buy a home. Heck, here in California, people are in a world of hurt simply trying to afford transportation to work.

Bolton, it would almost be funny, if it weren't so sad - just so typical Shrub to appoint Bolton, of all people. would go on, but - I can already sense "charger" is about to post a response that I should love Bolton or pack my bags for France; I too should just try to avoid politics on this board.

glass, my goal is to lose stars, perhaps enticing charger to rate me at zero stars. this will help to better annoy Queen Parking Bee. i noticed my rating last dipped after i stepped into deep doo-doo by giving my honest opinion on stocks such as MSEP, CMKX, MLON, and my other "favorites", heh. so, perhaps stating my honest opinion of our esteemed president will help me to be improve my star-rating in a negative direction. if i can get back to 2 stars again, that would be more fun than buying ALMI out from under Purl at .921 when she was at .92, heh heh heh

Again, thank you so much for the insights. I am quite new at this game, and whenever I see such drastic fluctuations in my measly investments, I get nervous....did I make the wrong choice? Am I just investing on hype? But I do see that despite all the fluctuations in ALMI, it always seems to settle back around 1.00 a share. Watching the "bouncing ball" can drive one crazy. Sometimes we just have to wait things out. Thank you for all your help and insights.
