Ad1, Curiosity Strikes Again:
Just for fun.
No ones going to get burned. When you purchase stock ownership, what do you classify as:

I will assume that Light = Everything below heavy
This is in reference to:
ge - very heavy
jnj - heavy
bmy - heavy
kmb - heavy
xom - extremely heavy
What do you think?
What a balancing act! I just love these photos.
Ad1,
I was wondering if you sold because I hadn't heard from you in a while. To be honest with you, I probably would of sold if I was in your shoes. I hope you made a good profit and sold at or near a dollar. Let me know, now I'm curious.
In the past, I've always sold too soon. Since I only own 50K shares I decided to wait for the next rally. I believe its on the rebound because it's still showing the hammer effect. I'm also watching and waiting for the big volumes to kick in. This should signal when the strong hands start selling. That will tell me its at or near the top.
My problem has always been getting too anxious and only making half the profit. I've done this enough times that I decided to wait this time even if I miss the boat.
Another thing I've done, I keep a few shares in a stock after selling it, just to keep a watch out during future rallies. Its been interesting because it gives me the same feeling that I want to sell. I don't, just to discipline myself and overcome that impulsiveness. This is part of those human behavioral issues I keep track of and talked about in my Journal Postings. I'm still learning to control these emotional dilemas when deciding to sell. IMO, we are all in the learning process on this one and not sure we ever really get it a 100% right?
Yes, I'd like to stay in touch. Its been fun playing The Lone Ranger and Tonto. No one else has decided to joint the site, so I figure its up to you and me to keep it going. Even after I sell, I will keep posting educational stuff from time to time. You know where to find me, so please say hello and keep me posted on what's going on.
Lets not say good-bye, but say Good Luck to ALL !!!

Artist's Impression to Entry of Vault
The seed vault will be built 120m (364ft) inside a mountain on Spitsbergen, one of four islands that make up Svalbard...Dr. Fowler said Svalbard, 1,000km (621 miles) north of mainland Norway, was chosen as the location for the vault because it was very remote and it also offered the level of stability required for the long-term project.
"We looked very far into the future. We looked at radiation levels inside the mountain, and we looked at the area's geological structure," he told BBC News.
"We also modelled climate change in a drastic form 200 years into future, which included the melting of ice sheets at the North and South Poles, and Greenland, to make sure that this site was above the resulting water level."
By building the vault deep inside the mountain, the surrounding permafrost would continue to provide natural refrigeration if the mechanical system failed, explained Dr. Fowler.

Oil & Gas Still At Peak Demand:
Indian Economy - A World Power In The Making
Boom time:
Everywhere you turn in India's cities are signs of economic boom...New cars choking the streets, middle-class housing and shopping malls swallowing up farmland, airports chock-a-block with travellers...India could overtake Britain and have the world's fifth largest economy within a decade as the country's growth accelerates, a new report says.
There will be a heavy cost as India demands more and more energy.
If trends continue, India's economy may then surpass the US and be second only to China's by mid-century, the report by investment bank Goldman Sachs says...Within 15 years Indians should, on average, be four times richer than today, buying five times as many cars, and the country will burn three times as much crude oil to power its growth, putting yet more strain on the world's resources.

Amphibious Houses:
A floating alternative with a row of amphibious houses lines the waterfront at Maasbommel, panelled in blue, yellow and green. They have a hollow concrete cube at the base to give them buoyancy...A beautiful sight with growing popularity. The houses have attracted international attention... Officials from New Orleans, which was devastated by flooding in August 2005, have visited Maasbommel to see how the floating houses work.
At a starting price of 260,000 euros (£180,000 or $310,000), the houses are not a cheap option. But Mr Zevenbergen says demand is high.
"We are trying to develop new types of more sustainable buildings which have no adverse impacts on the environment," says Chris Zevenbergen of Dura Vermeer, the company which developed the floating houses.
Electricity and water are pumped in through flexible pipes. In all, the houses can withstand a rise in the water table of up to four metres (13ft).

Small and densely populated, the Netherlands is one of the countries most at risk from climate change and rising sea levels.
But in one village in the south of the country, they are trying out a new way of living with an increased risk of floods.
A small ferry shuttles back and forth from one bank of the River Maas to the other. This is the only way of reaching Maasbommel, in Gelderland province, from the south.
The landscape is saturated with water, criss-crossed by rivers and the network of dykes which are supposed to protect the area from flooding.
But the dykes are not always enough. In 1993 and again in 1995, floods forced tens of thousands of people to leave their homes.
Rising sea levels:
Now, with climate change, floods are likely to be more frequent and more severe.
Dutch scientists predict a rise in sea levels of up to 110cm (43 inches) by the year 2100.
At the same time, there is growing pressure on land. The Dutch government estimates 500,000 new homes will be needed in the next two decades.
Most of the land suitable for conventional building has already been snapped up. So Dutch housebuilders are experimenting with new solutions.

Oil & Gas Still Safe Bet For Now:
Geothermal Power's first hirdle to jump is, about $800 million in research and development is needed over the next decade to make the drilling technology cost-effective. Second, the Department of Energy is trying to kill the program by ending its funding.
On Monday, the DOE unveiled a $24.3 billion fiscal 2008 budget with more funding for nuclear power, alternative fuels, and science programs – but nothing for geo- thermal.
Geothermal's research budget at DOE was $24 million in fiscal 2006 – the smallest among major federal renewable energy research. But at White House budget office urging, the department eliminated geothermal funding for 2007.
Geothermal plants could supply about 100,000 megawatts – the equivalent of 200 big coal-burning power plants – by 2050, according to the report. That power could help replace the 50,000 megawatts of coal-fired power and 40,000 megawatts of nuclear power that the US is expected to lose over the next 25 years as it closes old power plants.
New techniques could expand the capabilities of geothermal power, producing 10 percent of US electricity by 2050.

Also hurting UK shares was a newspaper report that South Africa may consider asking companies in the mining industry to pay an extra tax.
The news hit shares of mining firms, with Xstrata losing 6.7%, Vedanta Resources shedding 4.9%, Anglo American down 4.7%, BHP Billiton falling 6.2%, and Rio Tinto sliding 4.8%.
South African newspaper Business Day said the government may ask mining companies to pay an additional tax on top of the royalties they already pay when commodity prices climb above a certain level.

Geologic Timetable: Are The Poles Tilting?
THE SHIFT IS OCCURING NOW--Gregg Braden, Scientist
By: Wynn Free
Interview with Gregg Braden, author of: Awakening to Zero Point; The Isaiah Effect; The God Code; The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles and Belief
There are many quantifiable scientific indicators proving that the Earth and the Solar System are going through changes which have never previously occurred in recorded human history. Many psychics and channelers say that we have entered the beginning of a dimensional shift which is already deeply affecting all of our lives. And some predict that within the next decade we will enter into an Ascension process fulfilling the prophecies of Jesus.
Gregg Braden is probably the most recognized person who is evaluating and revealing the scientific phenomena pointing to this shift. He became intrigued with all this when he was working for Phillips Petroleum in the late 1970s and noticed that the magnetics of the earth were at their lowest point in 2000 years and decreasing at a rapid rate.
Eventually, Braden wrote a book - Awakening to Zero Point - that documented this and other indicators of our rapidly changing planet.
Wynn: Is it true that the magnetic poles of the earth are in the process of shifting right now?
Gregg: In May-June-July of 2002, it was very well acknowledged and esteemed scientific journals actually were saying for the first time that we are in the process of a polar reversal.
Back in the 1960s, geologists were certain that the earth periodically went through a reversal. They could tell from core samples, ice samples, and fossils, as well as magnetized particles that were locked into certain positions in the rock of the earth. Geologists were so certain about this phenomenon that they actually mapped out the last four-and-a-half-million years, and the resulting records suggested that the earth has gone through fourteen of these polar reversals.
At that time, back in 1961 and 1962, scientists felt that the last pole reversal occurred at about the time of the last Ice Age, ten to twelve thousand years ago. And they were certain it would happen again, but not for thousands of years, so it was nothing to worry about.
But through the 1990s, geologists continued to refine this kind of information. They had been saying it took thousands of years for this to happen. Then they began to say, "Well, it can happen in hundreds of years." But now, recent evidence from some of the ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica say that it could happen in as little as a decade.
But now, we know that the poles are actually moving. We're living it right now. We don't know exactly what that means, because even though it's happened fourteen times in the last four and a half million years, it's never happened with six billion people on the earth.
Wynn: Are you saying that it's common knowledge?
Gregg: It's common knowledge to people that need to know these things. For example, FAA regulations say that when the poles move beyond five or eight degrees, the runways at the airports have to be renumbered to correlate with the magnetic headings that the pilots are seeing. The first airport in the United States to comply with this mandate was Minneapolis/St. Paul, where they spent something on the order of eighty-five thousand dollars to go through and renumber the runway headings.
But what happened in the May-June-July time frame of 2002 is that journals such as Nature, Science, Scientific American, and New Scientist released reports saying that we are definitely in the process of a magnetic reversal, and the AP wires picked it up.
Scientists have no idea what the impact is going to be to electronic and electromagnetic power grids. But even more, they don't know what it means to human immune systems. Alternative healing modalities have shown a connection between magnetics and the immune system, which also would imply that our immune systems could very well be keyed into the magnetic fields of the earth.
We know that birds and animals migrate along the lines of these magnetic fields. So there is speculation that the changes taking place in the magnetic field are responsible for the changing migratory patterns in birds that have been recorded in Asia and North America.
The change in the fields also may explain why whales are beaching themselves. The lines of navigation that the whales have always followed have shifted and now lead them onto a beach. When we take them back out into the water and set them free, they continue to align themselves with the same magnetic lines, and in following them, they end up on the beach again.
So, yes, it's common knowledge now. The most respected scientific journals say that we're in this shift. And even though we don't know precisely what that means, it's significant that it is being acknowledged in peer-review kinds of literature, and not just in speculative or pseudo-scientific magazines.
Wynn: When was this magnetic shift first acknowledged?
Gregg: It would have been in the June/July time frame of 2002. People were sending me emails that they had seen it, and giving me references. I also found references in the magazines myself.
Wynn: Would we survive a complete pole shift?
Gregg: Any answer to that question must of necessity lie within the realm of speculation, because in traditional recorded human history it's never happened. On the other hand, there are Native traditions and ancient Hebrew biblical traditions suggesting that a magnetic shift may have happened even more recently than the last Ice Age. That was 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, but these traditions suggest that the last shift may have happened as recently as 3,600 years ago.
Native legends speak of a day 3,600 years ago when the sun rose from the west as it had always done, hovered in the sky for more than a full day, and set in the east - but the next day, it rose in the east and set in the west, as it does today. Hebrew traditions speak of this event, also, saying that it happened during a battle. The ancient Hebrews took it as a sign that one side was receiving celestial assistance, because it stayed light long enough for the battle to complete in their favor.
We can't verify this in the rock or fossil records, because 3,600 years is too short a period of time for such an event to be reflected there. All we have to go by are traditions, legends, and myths preserved in oral and written documents.
What the trandition tells us, however, is that if something like this were to happen, the people of the earth would live through it. It would have to be a really strange day to live through, but if the ancient legends are true, it happened and the people apparently survived. However, we don't know how it affected their lives.
Wynn: Do you have any idea how this magnetic shift might change consciousness?
Gregg: The speculation is that there is a correlation between consciousness and magnetics. In order to understand how this connection might work, it is useful to compare it to a computor's memory. The magnetic fields in the memory are held in place through an electrical charge - a trickle charge - within the computer itself. When the batteries in the computer die, the charge is gone, and the memory is lost. We have to reload the operating system.
Similarly, by researchers and descendents of indigenous peoples believe that when the earth goes through what science sees as a magnetic reversal, it also will be a great shift and cleansing of the earth's consciousness. There will be nothing holding all the magnetic patterns that have been put in place. So when we awaken from this shift, what becomes consciousness will be our truest nature, our truest essence. And the memory of all of the evil or all the bad things or all of the grudges or the ego and we've held against one another as individuals and nations will not be part of that new consciousness, that new grid.
From that perspective, many traditions predict, sense, or speculate that we are nearing a time of what they call the Great Cleansing, and that this cleansing is happening at a level of core memory of consciousness.
Wynn: So is it possible to assume that in some way, our memory is connected to this magnetic field?
Gregg: I think so. I think that because of the strange accounts of the astronauts who left earth and went into space during the Apollo Program. In leaving the earth's atmosphere and circling the planet many miles above the surface, the affects of earth's magnetics were negligible. And the astronauts began to have experiences that they were not prepared or trained for, that were totally unanticipated.
When they were in space and looked back to earth, they began having insights and feelings, awakenings and awarenesses that they had never had when they were on the earth. It meant something different to each one of them.
In much the same way, friends of mine who went to Viet Nam were all changed when they came home. It changed everyone. For some, the change was so painful that they could never speak about it, and for others, the change was a catalyst in their lives and they spoke of it incessantly.
And I believe there was actually a PBS special that documented this same phenomenon with the astronauts, that they were never the same afterward. When they came back, there were some who didn't know what to do with their outer space experience. Some turned to drugs and alcohol. Others channeled the change that occurred within them in very positive, life-affirming projects.
One of this latter group was Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who founded the Noetic Sciences Organization in an effort to validate the phenomenon of human consciousness. Another astronaut undertook the search for Noah's Ark, and actually found it embedded in the ice on Mt. Ararat, right where the Bible said it would be.[1]
Wynn: So the implication here is that these astronauts, because they left the magnetic field of the earth, had some kind of spiritual awakening?
Gregg: They certainly went through a catharsis when they were no longer in the influence of the earth's magnetic field.
We also see something similar happening when we look at the magnetic fields of the earth. They are not constant over the surface of the earth, and contour maps, available through United States Geologic Survey, show the varying intensities of magnetic fields over the surface of the earth - where magnetic fields have a very high intensity and where the intensity if very low.
Those fields have shifted over time, and may actually account for why populations of humans have migrated to the places they've migrated to. They might have been following these magnetic contours.
What happens is that in the places where the magnetics are very low, where their effects are negligible, tremendous change and innovation appear to occur. Where the magnetics are traditionally high, those are the places of stagnation where changes, although they do happen, take a long time and change is very slow in coming.
If I were coming here from another world and didn't know anything about the people of the earth, and if I were looking for a place where the opportunity of change was the greatest, I would look for the zero contour lines. And if you look at a map of the magnetics on earth today, what you find is that there is a zero contour line that runs along the West Coast of North America - along the California coast and on up off the coast of Alaska. In other words, the magnetics along the West Coast are almost nil!
When we think of the West Coast, we think about wacky California. Well, the truth is California is a seed, one of several, and it's traditionally been very innovative in technology, science, fashion, finance, and the arts, because there is an opportunity for tremendous change there.
Within North American, the flip side of that would be an area of highest magnetics, where the magnetic fields are the most dense. And you find this down through some of the Southeastern states - the very states that are traditionally viewed as being conservative. This doesn't mean that change can't happen there. What is says, however, is that change takes a long time there, and people have to see a really good reason before they are going to budge from what they've always done.
Wynn: So where the magnetic field is less dense, people are more open to the moment?
Gregg: They're open to change, period. It doesn't mean that the change is good, bad, right, or wrong. It's important to be clear about this. The consciousness of the people will determine how that change comes about.
I'll give an ironic example. There is a zero contour line that runs right through the Middle East. It actually runs almost directly underneath the area we call the Suez Canal, right up into Israel, right along the coast of the Red Sea. Yes, right in that area is a zero contour line. This means that area is ripe for change. But again, how that change comes about - whether it's peaceful and constructive or angry and destructive - is determined by the consciousness of the people who live there.
Wynn: So it's not good or bad either way?
Gregg: Precisely. It simply is an opportunity for change. At the same time, the highest magnetic contour lines noted anywhere on the planet earth have traditionally been in portions of the former Soviet Union, Russia, and Siberia. We know that in that part of the world, there was a system that was in place, and while change came about, it was slow and painful, a long time coming, with a lot of suffering. But when that change happened, there was a cascade effect, and it happened almost overnight.
So the correlations are very interesting between human consciousness, the opportunities for innovation, change, doing things in a new way, and the magnetics of our world.
The Earth has many areas of high and low change.
Wynn: Our readers are going to want to know how they can best face the changes that are coming in our world as a whole.
Gregg: I'll be as concise as I can. I think that the answer to that is perhaps encapsulated best in the words of those who have come before us, the ancient Essenes, in a text that's more than 2,500 years old. It reminds us of our relationship to the world around us, and says simply that the world around us is nothing more and nothing less than a mirror of what we have become from within.
So when we see a world that appears angry, cruel, and thoughtless, that produces suffering for our brothers and sisters all over the world - from this perspective, that world is a mirror of what we have become as individuals, families, societies, and nations. It's not right, wrong, good or bad. It's simply a reflection of who we are. The condition of the planet is a feedback mechanism.
So if we want to see change in our world, we must become that change in our every day lives. If we want to see peace, tolerant understanding, compassion, and forgiveness at the global level, we must become that. At the dinner table. With our families. We must become that with our schools.
We must demand that we be entertained through peace, compassion, and understanding. It doesn't have to be dull and boring. It can still be very exciting, but it does not have to be ruthless, thoughtless, cruel, or heartless.
So in our daily lives, every moment of every day, we make a choice that either affirms or denies life in our bodies. Because we are linked through this grid. Our individual choices all pool into the collective answer to our future.
If we'd like to see a collective change, we must individually become that change.
Wynn: We have this date of 2012 that many people are saying is this time of global shift or Ascension. What do you think is going to happen?
Gregg The date 2012 is interesting because it comes up in Mayan traditions, Egyptian traditions, some of the Christian traditions, and even in the Bible Code - which is very controversial unto itself.
My sense is this date could be any date. If we focus on a date and live our lives preparing for a change on that date, we miss life. From my perspective, if we simply live each day of our lives to its fullest, we reconcile the experiences that cross our paths each day, we reconcile the opportunity to honor life, to honor our relationships with one another.
If we are honest, truthful, considerate, caring and compassionate, if we live this each day, we have already prepared for whatever could possibly come on 2012 or any other day, any other year, any time in our future.
I know people who are living their lives hoarding boxcars full of food and ammunition, preparing for the day when our world changes. I understand, and I think it's good to be self sufficient. I understand what they are saying. But also what I've seen is that so much of their lives is dedicated to preparing for that day, they've missed the beauty and the mystery of life that unfolds in every day. And it's in perceiving this beauty and mystery that we prepare for the greatest challenges!
Wynn: So basically, if one wants to approach this change with the maximum positive outcome for themselves, the key is to live each day with the maximum output of love, compassion, and caring?
Gregg: Yes, and to do this, we have to live each day consciously. Be aware of the opportunities. Recognize the opportunities that cross our paths. Every day, we're given the opportunity to be tolerant of another belief system, to forgive someone who has hurt or angered us, to reconcile our own judgments about what should or should not be in our world.
If we can reconcile these things as they cross our paths and consciously deal with them in the moment, then we know we're changing the chemistry of our bodies by changing the way we feel, and are thus preparing ourselves for whatever transitions the earth is going to go through.
If that makes sense.
Wynn: Yes, it does to me. Is there anything really important to close with for our readers that I might have missed?
Gregg: For the first time in our history, the fate of our species, our entire species, rests upon the choices of a single generation. And what we've just done is talked about what some of those choices are all about.

Revised & Updated Info for Deleted Post #37:
Bechtel is Huge:
Let's go back to 1960's & 70's. It was either Bechtel or Brown & Root who had a modular construction prefabrication plant in Aransas Pass located just before the bridge that takes tourists to Port Aransas, Texas. (The information is not public information, I tried to verify. So, this information is from memory.) This was the assembly yard for off shore drilling rig platforms built for installation in the Gulf of Mexico. This oil producing area is called the Continental Shelf. I first heard about the Continental Shelf in elementary school when my teacher talked about the Tertiary Period and the Geologic Timetable.

Gulf of Mexico
It runs several hundred miles out into the Gulf of Mexico. The wells are located 50+ miles offshore. Some of the platforms were 10 stories tall. They were steel structures. When finished, they were laid on their sides, huge cranes lifted them onto barges where they did the final welding. Then tug boats toed them to their prospective sites for final assembly and installation. I had no idea Holifield and Bechtel were partners. This puts a whole different light on the potential for Amtex. I was thinking, if ATEX went back to a dollar, I'd be happy. But now, I'm not sure, the potential has just increased in my mind. With this kind of money behind them God only knows how far Amtex could go?
Bechtel built the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Unites States (1973-1977)
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline project was an enormous undertaking—a 1,200-kilometer pipeline built across three mountain ranges in harsh weather conditions. Completed in 1977, it carries oil from Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's North Slope to the southern port of Valdez.

This information just re-emphasizes my commitment to Amtex. My instinct's said to buy. Now these are my thoughts:
• This could be a whole different ball game?
• This could be something really big?
• This could develop into something much bigger than I ever anticipated?
• All I know is, when I first started reading about Amtex back in the summer of 2004, I knew this stock was for me.
For those who haven't solidified their position, now is as good as it gets. When the strong hands decide to take this baby up, we may not see these cheap prices again for a long, long time.
God Bless,
Hilander
PS:
Also, I realize Bechtel and Holifield are not partners with Amtex, but just with their association together, that means a whole lot to me.

Golden Cross Coming:
Let's watch this golden cross forming over the next few days or week.
Golden Cross:
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goldencross.asp
A crossover involving a security's short-term moving average (such as 15-day moving average) breaking above its long-term moving average (such as 50-day moving average) or resistance level.
As long-term indicators carry more weight, the Golden Cross indicates a bull market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes. Additionally, the long-term moving average becomes the new support level in the rising market.
Technicians might see this cross as a sign that the market has turned in favor of the stock.
Great! It's always good finding new stuff to read.
It's difficult finding a small company with talent like this with small OS.

Part 4: Texas Oil History
Kilgore Wildcatter’s: This is where it all started. Kilgore is a little city in East Texas. The population was 11,301 at the 2000 census, located mostly in Gregg County.
I've put this together to give you an idea of the Oil Rich History of the region. This helps to explain how the region got branded as Oil Country. Kilgore is east of Dallas from Interstate I-35.
This is a different drilling region from Giddings but some fun stuff to read about. This is an area which creates a triangle in my mind. Kilgore, Longview and Athens. Athen's has been mostly drilled out, but the Kilgore and Longview areas are still active with both oil and gas production. Now, Athens is know for its black eyed pea production. (I'm not suggesting you buy black eyed peas on the futures market!)
Clarification:
I said Alpine the other day but was thinking Athen's in my mind. Alpine has some interesting history as well but it's not located in the same oil rich fields. I do not want to mislead anyone so please forgive my mistake.

History:
October 3, 1930 marked the beginning of the East Texas Oil Boom when "Dad" Joiner unknowingly tapped into the world's largest pocket of oil in a Rusk County pasture. In the 1940's, over 1,000 wooden oil derricks lined the streets of Kilgore. One section of the Kilgore oil field was named "The World's Richest Acre" The oil boom brought thousands of drillers and producers into East Texas.

Thanks INXS, You’ve been an ATEX Long for a while now, what’s you take on what’s going on? Besides being able to buy at historically low prices, do you have anything to add toward's answering Vtbound's questions? If so, that would be great.
Hey Surf & cj4tm, or anyone else in the know.
What do you know about HOGC selling to UPDA?
If the Hog is selling, is this a short term or long term business strategy? How soon?
I'm currently traveling living out of a suitcase and don't have time to research.
Thanks,

I know this to be a very slow and methodical process.

A golden cross usually means a bull run is about to occur.
We passed that mark on January 29th.

Right On!!! This is an Excellent Buying Opportunity.
Take Time To Reflect: (Part 3)
From time to time I watch this 3 minute video to put things into perspective. Everyone needs an attitude readjustment every now and then.
http://www.212movie.com
Here’s What I Believe: (PART 2)
It’s taken several years for me to adopt the stance of PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE. My feeling is, if an investor doesn’t have the money to invest with a company for the long haul (for me it averages 1 to 3 years) then they shouldn’t invest. I haven't found this to be a good way to make a quick buck. On the other hand I’ve watched investor’s who’ve had beginners luck and done quite well. Being a chartist, I’m a slow, methodical investor who studies the charts and makes decisions accordingly. I’m a patient investor and do not play with daily trading. I’ve staked my claim with ATEX and patiently a-wait the day when management and the strong hands make this deal happen. It’s also my personal belief that we are in the final days of the accumulation phase before this baby takes off. If you disagree, go back and look at the charts and see where there was massive sell offs to drop the price. After the shortie’s have made their money there is no other way for the stock to go. It must either go up or go out of business. There are no other options except become dormant, like a volcano waiting to erupt. We’ve been going through that process over the last year. To better understand how this process works read the 4 Phase Lifecycle of a Stock by Clive Maund:
http://www.321gold.com/editorials/maund/maund050806.html
Also, don’t believe what I’m saying about ATEX, check it out for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Just remember what happened to Rip Van Winkle when he fell asleep taking a cat nap and didn’t wake up for 20 years. If anyone snoozes too long, Amtex will already have rallied twice and people will wonder how come they missed out.
HERE’S WHAT I KNOW: (Part 1)
There's only 77 million outstanding shares. The leases are located in the Austin Chalk Zone on a 928 acre property in the heavily producing oil fields of Giddings, Lee County, Texas. Drilling operations are located on the Edgmon-Cameron land. As I understand, ATEX plans on re-entering existing wells. This lowers the initial cost of drilling operations. ATEX believes this to be a commercially viable oil production operation and expects work to occur over the next several years. Their plan is to have multiple wells with a projected annual income is in the neighborhood of $ 80 million when the site is fully developed.
The Giddings Field was first discovered around 1930 and has been responsible for the cumulative production of more than 380 million barrels of oil and 2.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Most of this production was undertaken with antiquated vertical drilling techniques, leaving a huge amount of oil and gas reserves un-recoverable in the ground. Engineering estimates suggest there is over 1 billion in oil and gas reserves waiting to be recovered. Now, with all the seismic gadgetry using 3-D graphics and advanced seismic analysis, horizontal drilling, and proprietary recovery technologies. ATEX has new and modern techniques of finding oil the old timers couldn’t even dream about. Also, it helps to know that Exxon-Mobil is heavily invested in this region.
Also, there’s a petroleum processing plant in the area, just up the highway toward Houston. If memory serves me correctly, it’s located west of Columbus. It’s out in the middle of nowhere. The only wildlife present are jack-rabbits and a few head of cattle. At night you can see the processing plant far off in the distance. It shines for miles because the smoke stacks light the skyline for miles in all directions. It’s a beautiful sight to see. This is just one of the processing plants scattered through Texas. East Texas is also a big oil producing area around Kilgore near Alpine.
In the heavily drilled oilfields of Texas, the oil and gas is transported underground through pipelines. Back in the 70’s there was a billion dollar project called the Trans Alaskan Pipe line. It was built both above and below ground depending on its location. Oil Company lobbyists started promoting the building of the underground pipeline from Alaska to the lower states back in the late 1960’s. Why, because it was impossible to transport oil & gas by truck through the tundra. When traveling throughout Texas, IF one is observant you can see the evidence of these pipelines.
Map:
Lee County, Texas has 628.5 sq. miles in land area and a population density of 26.3 per square mile. In the last three decades of the 1900s its population grew by 94%. The average household size is 2.65 persons compared to an average family size of 3.15 persons. In 2005, it had an average wage per job of $19,150. Per capita income grew by 16.2% between 1994 and 2004 (adjusted for inflation).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giddings%2C_Texas
To find Giddings drive due east on Hwy. 290 East from Austin towards Houston. You will drive straight through downtown Giddings with a thriving population of 16,536 according to the 2004 population census. Median household income = $36,280. It’s a rural community made up of mostly farmers, ranchers and oil related businesses. For anyone wanting higher paying jobs they migrate west to the Interstate. The I-35 corridor links the bottom tip of Texas from Laredo to Canada. This central corridor goes straight through many metropolitan cities. Job seekers find themselves relocated to Brownsville, Corpus Christie, San Antonio, San Marcos, Round Rock, Georgetown, Waco, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Little Rock Arkansas, Oklahoma City, Denver or any other large city along the highway toward Canada. This main transportation corridor was developed for NAFTA (The North American Free Trade Agreement) in the 1970’s to promote free trade and access for 18 wheeler’s to transport goods between Mexico, The U.S. and Canada.
Giddings Profile:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giddings,_Texas
Bottom Line:
The last time Amtex rallied, the strike price on October 20, 2004 was 0.50 cents. My gain was 525%. The trading volume that day was 2,110,479. My entry point was 0.06. Today’ price is an excellent buy. It’s been approximately 28 months since the last rally and believe its time for another any day now. It’s my belief that Amtex is headed right back to the 0.50 range in the near future. It’s my gut feeling and that’s why I’m here. Until recently there was no Amtex message board. I’m here as an interested investor just like you. If anyone has any other data to share, please do not be shy. We are all in the same boat together and would appreciate any helpful information.
Since there’s only 77 million shares outstanding, it makes me wonder, is Amtex a closely held company? If I owned the company, I would own at least 20 to 27 million shares. If that guess is correct then there’s only another 50 million shares outstanding. And I would also believe the market makers also have a pretty good size chunk of the stock. Whenever they decide to take this stock up, there will be no one there to stop it. You draw your own conclusion but with this little amount of shares to be traded, when the stock moves it will move fast and the whole ballgame will be over for those not paying attention.
As far as not having a website. It doesn’t bother me because there are other stocks I’ve owned who don’t have websites. SGCR for example just got one up and running last month. For many companies, that is not their priority. They don’t want to take time to field questions from irate shareholders who think the stock’s not moving fast enough. Besides, all the information is available through the SEC filings.
As a Long investor I feel there’s an opportunity with ATEX. I’ve been buying this stock for 2+ years and will be patient and hold my stocks for as long as it takes for management to meet their goals. But, I have a feeling I won't be waiting much longer.
I trust the charts and keep a close eye on them. For me, the price and volume patterns are the most important things to monitor. Now all we need is more volume. I’ll leave that to the market makers. In the meantime, I’ll just watch and wait.
IMO, We’re headen back to the 50cent range:

HELPFUL I-HUB TOOL TO RESEARCH ANY STOCK: Go to the upper right hand corner of the page. Locate the I-HUB search bar, under "Public Msgs", enter "stock symbol" & you can see anyone chatting about the stock.
We're in the same boat together and agree this is a great company. That's a given.
Not worried a bit, just need to sit tight till management does there job.
The rest will take care of itself.
At these cheap prices who wouldn't want to jump on board?
My overall share price is 4 times the current share price but believe FLWE to be a great stock and will hold till it reaches the dollar+ mark again.
