Well I agree. Seems the more good news, the worse it performs. Nothing happens IMO, until, and IF it's bought, or it goes to production with temporary spikes for resource updates and feasibility study completed. There's just no real reason for it to move that I can see. I'm long so it's especially agonizing!!!

India delaying potash imports.....

Ok, try again. Looks as Ethiopian Potash has been downgraded to sell. Why? Lack of cash. Seems that we at ALLANA don't have that problem at this time. This is a positive for ALLANA it would seem to me.....

Thanks Max.... That's very positive and just more progress in removing risk factors. This whole project is a slow but deliberate process moving forward. This will be a very "telling" year!

2016 is fine with me if there is no takeover before then. I just want PPS to be a whole bunch higher than .72! If a buyout comes, I have no idea what our PPS would be but I would hope it's over $2. Again, removing risk factors seems to me to be key.

ALLANA just needs to continue removing risk factors one by one. "if you build it, they will come."

Holding here but my hands shakin' a bit. In reality, I'm in it until we hit one of our major milestones and see how it all shakes out. Can't imagine with the major $$$ that has been invested in this company (and not the little guys like me) that they would invest that kind of money thinking this whole thing is going to tank. Not sure why people sell small amounts at this PPS unless they are just plain restless. It makes no sense to me but then again..... It's the stock market! Long here....

Interesting..... Not sure what it means for us if anything.

It seems to me that there is no real incentive for a PPS increase until a major offtake, buyout, completed FS or production startup. IMO, these are the markers that will eventually cause ALLANA to move . I just don't see any reason for any major movement upward until then. It is hard to watch this BUT, we have a great resource, solid investors and seemingly strong management. These factors are critical and ALLANA will appeal to somebody someday! We just have to hold tight. That's my plan.......

China potash imports may dip in 2012... India?

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-13/china-potash-imports-may-dip-first-time-in-three-years-cru-says.html

You guys crack me up! This banter is appropriate for hmmm maybe 4th grade? Nothing like penny stock intellects!!! Keep it coming!!!

That's exactly what my wife said about me just after midnight on New Years Eve...

Ok....... I give, what should we do? Seems most folks here are pretty comfortable..... Those who are fretting..... just not sure how to help????

Some think a nickel...... :) it will be what it is...... Year from now $1.50 will look good IMHO.....

Gosh, who knows??? Guess I'd be worried if I were trying to make a buck in the near term....... Not so concerned now..... Let's talk about a year from now.......

"Learning to trade" also (wink, wink) First thing I learned was never to invest more than I could afford to lose....... Sleeping through the night here! :)

Here's to 2012!!!!

I was curious about this particular individual so I simply went to see his many posts and learned everything I needed to know........ WOW, now I understand... So, I simply hit the ignore button!!!! Life is good and if you're long on ALLANA, life is going to get even better....

I would imagine by 12/21/2012 we will all be singing a different tune. All this "maybe tomorrow" is all wishful thinking. Major events involving ALLANA WILL come in the new year and for those "longs" here, we will be rewarded. I've watched this board enough now to know that the immediate gratification t sought by some, is merely is pie in the sky. I know I get all excited when I read the chatter, then disappointed when nothing happens. Not sure if we have seen the low but I just can't imagine that we've seen the high. It will be a good year for those who can wait....

I know it's great to speculate as we all have a vested interest in ALLANA doing well. What I don't understand is how anyone knows that on "day 5 or 6" ALLANA will see a spike as large investors will be buying up shares. What is this based on? I do understand the potential of a buyout in the not too distant future, certainly after the FS is complete. Just curious as to the source of your enthusiasm???

We need a jumpstart big time!

It's going to take a big climb in this stock to get me to even but that's life. Modestly invested but a nice profit hopefully down the road. Kills me to see the stock at this PPS but great for those who are just getting in. Sure seems to be undervalued based upon my DD but I suppose there are things I'm not aware of. One thing I've learned is that we all want to "cheerlead" our investment and I truly do believe there is money to be made here, but that buyout or off take agreement might be soon or a good way down the road. NO way to know. Releasing drill hole results really don't seem to do much one way or the other. Last summer when the big resource report was released, there was alot of talk in the days prior about a run up in PPS. There was for a flash and the stock has been in decline every since with the exception of the past few weeks where we went from .70s to the $1.20+
I'm not sure what the history of a feasibility study release has on mining stocks as I am kinda new but if it's positive which seems to be the word on the street, I would imagine THAT might be what it takes to get major money flowing our way. Wish I understood if and how this stock is being manipulated. I've bought in on 5 different occasions bringing my average per share quite a ways down from my first buy. I have no intention of selling until we see some major movement upward. If that's quarter 3 of 2012, so be it. Bottom line, it's a resource that the world needs, we seem to have plenty of it, and a company that "seems" to know what they're doing and how to get it. It "seems" that ALLANA is methodically moving step by step, removing risk by risk and successfully demonstrating their competence in moving us towards production. Won't ramble further, just thought I would add my perspective, while patiently waiting the coming of better days. I do believe they are coming.

I taught school for 40 years. Some of that time was spent in a junior high school. The bantering on this forum soooooo brings me back to those days....... Ready for a little Jerry Springer or a re-run of a republican debate! Seems to me that people will believe what they want, will do DD or not, invest or not, antagonize or not. Why post all this garbage? If you have information regarding this company that's relevant, then by all means, offer it. If not, why waste everybody's time? Most people come here to get/give info.... If all u guys want to do is one up each other, exchange emails and have at it....

Thanks..... I did see that video and was impressed. PPS was about .60 at that time. Now it's .1685. Other than a market that is awful, is there any particular reason Passport seems to be in free fall?

Anybody have any idea what's going on with this company and why the shares have headed so far south????

Maybe.... Sometimes ya spin the wheel and win, sometimes you don't. Millions of people do it in Vegas. If ya can't afford to pay, don't play. I look at stocks the same way rbtree....

It was a recommendation from another investor. I've been trying to do more dd using resources from this board. Always looking for info etc. not here short term but plan to hold on to see what happens. Plan on investing more as I learn more...... Depending on what I learn! :)

Curious as I'm just a recent investor with Exit Only. I've read back several posts and see that a run up in share price is expected but never see what would be a reasonable expectation in let's say the next 3 to 6 months and what would be the factors that would lead to it? Thanks.

Well a little holiday spike would certainly be nice and very much welcomed! As you say, it's been a little tough around here...... can't imagine this resource is only worth a buck five or so.

If and when we go all the way to production, what is the earliest and latest that this is likely to happen? Do we still have any drill results yet to come in? Is there a reasonable formula used to determine share price if and when a buyout occurs? What is a "reasonable" to expect share price if at all possible to determine if a buyout should occur? I know that many of these things have been discussed before but I'm curious as to opinions based upon today's realities. Based upon our current resource, what would be a "reasonable" share price to expect given what we know currently?i know nobody has a crystal ball but there are a few pros in here and I value their opinions. Thanks ahead of time for indulging me!!!

I think it's gonna take an off take agreement, a buyout or the feasibility study to move this stock. Positive drill holes, infrastructure news, this plan, that plan, strong buy from various sources all seem to result in a temporary spike and then back to the doldrums. Somebody is going to want this resource sooner or later. Somebody is gonna buy it or we make it all the way to production. Either way, it seems to me IMHO, those who are long (1 year +) will see this stock rise. How high? Certainly many different takes on the answer to that question. As frustrating as it is, I'm in it long and have been from the get go! What say you?

Good board, good people sharing valuable info about a good company. My thanks.....

Troll, troll, troll your boat.....

Thanks Bob

They mention a railway link "may" be built??? Does the Chinese investment in a railway that has been mentioned include this "link" or is this separate?

Thanks for that Max... Very positive news once again!!!

In general, as a result of an off take agreement, it seems that it's expected that share prices go up. I did a little research of companies who had off take agreements, share price went up and then slowly tailed back down. The slow drop did coincide with a market down turn but I was wondering if anyone knows the trends when it comes to an off take. Very new to stocks so just trying to get more info. Anybody?
