ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES (ALTI)

Intradaykursstand : +17,87% auf 3,1 $

Aktueller Wochenchart seit 2001. (1 Kerze = 1 Woche).

Diagnose: Die Aktie bewegte sich von August 2000 bis August 2003 in einem brachialen Abwärtstrend. Im August 2003 gelang der erste Ausbruch über die dominante Abwärtstrendlinie. Auf den ersten Ausbruchversuch folgte eine Pullbackbewegung zurück in den Bereich der überwundenen Abwärtstrendlinie. Wie Sie dem Chart entnehmen können, fiel die Aktie temporär sogar wieder unter die Trendlinie. Solche überschießenden Pullbacks sind nicht ungewöhnlich, werden doch so wichtige "Stoppnester" ausgeräuchert. Der Pullback verlief bei Altair Nanotech ebenso erfolgreich wie bei Nanophase und Nanogen. Das Kursgeschehen von August 2003 bis Ende November 2003 zeigt ein bullishes Kursmuster, nämlich eine relative inverse S-K-Formation mit BUY Trigger bei 1,48 $. Seit dem 28.November 2003 bricht die Aktie regelkonform aus diesem Pattern nach oben aus.

Prognose: Die Aktie beginnt einen steilen übergeordneten Aufwärtstrend zu etablieren. Zu beachten, ist die enorm hohe Volatilität dieser Aktie! Das charttechnische Mindest-Kursziel von 3 $ hat die Aktie in den vergangenen Wochen erreicht. Nächste übergeordnete Zielmarke ist die 4,35 $ Marke.

Altair Nanomaterials, Inc. Enters Into Agreement With Titanium Metals Corporation


RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 15, 2004 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NasdaqSC:ALTI - News) announced today that its subsidiary, Altair Nanomaterials Inc., has entered into a contract with Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE - News) for development of a low-cost manufacturing process for titanium dioxide pellets, critical to the successful commercialization of the FCC Cambridge process for production of titanium metal. The contract will be funded under Titanium Metals Corporation`s primary U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract. Altair will receive $150,000 during the initial six months phase of the agreement. Several follow-on phases should proceed concurrently and sequentially.

As previously announced, Titanium Metals Corporation has been selected by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to lead a program for developing an innovative new titanium electrolysis technology originated at Cambridge University and now referred to as the FFC Cambridge Process. The process uses titanium dioxide (TiO2) feedstock. Approximately 1.67 pounds of titanium dioxide feedstock are required to make one pound of titanium metal.

DARPA awarded Titanium Metals Corporation $12.3 million for a four-year development program. Titanium Metals Corporation leads a team of researchers from major defense contractors, including General Electric Aircraft Engines, United Defense Limited Partners and Pratt & Whitney, as well as the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Cambridge, in this development program. The FFC Cambridge Process has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of titanium metal and dramatically expand its use in a wider range of applications that include lightweight armored military vehicles, the manufacture of automotive components and components for utility plants, oil and gas drilling, and lightweight and durable consumer goods.

The agreement between Titanium Metals Corporation and Altair Nanomaterials follows the completion of a development program in which Altair provided Titanium Metals Corporation with samples of customized titanium dioxide cathodes under a July 30, 2003 Memorandum of Understanding.

Under the terms of the agreement, Altair will provide low-cost TiO2 to make customized electrodes for the Titanium Metals Corporation project. Altair believes its ability to control TiO2 particle size, shape and crystalline structure, using its patented process to make TiO2 pigment and nanoparticles, could have a significant benefit to the program. Altair`s new proprietary technology enables production of optimized porosity and custom shaped electrode precursors from either commercial titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) or from titanium ore digestion solutions, and is described in Altair`s pigment patent, US Patent 6,375,923. "We are excited to be participating in this next-generation technology and are pleased to be working with one of the world`s largest titanium metal producers and aerospace and military industry leaders," says Altair`s president, Dr. Rudi Moerck.

Titanium is the 10th most abundant element in the earth`s crust and the 4th most abundant structural metal. Titanium metal has unique physical and chemical properties including high strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance and excellent ballistic armor protection while offering appreciable weight reduction over conventional steel and aluminum alloys. It is as strong as steel, but 45 percent lighter. It is 60 percent heavier than aluminum, but twice as strong. Titanium is expensive only because the current process for refining the ore to metal is a multi-step, high-temperature batch process.

According to the AMPTIAC Quarterly, a Department of Defense-sponsored publication, current global production of titanium metal is approximately 50,000 tons per year at a market value of $600 million. AMPTIAC estimates that, due to the current state of manufacturing, titanium is produced at only about 1/20th of its current potential world volume. It is widely believed that a reduction of cost in the manufacturing process will expand the use of titanium metal in a wider range of applications that include lightweight armored military vehicles, the manufacture of automotive components and components for utility plants, oil and gas drilling, and lightweight and durable consumer goods.

Gap geschlossen.

[Phear]

Ist schwer zu sagen. Das erste offene gap befindet sich Ende November 2003. Allerdings kann diese auch nichts bedeuten, da es in der Folge aufgrund superguten news einen Bruch des Trends nach oben hatten - ein sealing also nicht zwingend gegeben ist.
Ausnahmen bei gap - closings sind allermeist Trendbrüche.

Anfang und Mitte Januar 2004 (letztes am 19/20.01) haben wir jeweils ein up - gap. Jedesmal mit hohem Volumen. Das letzte wurde Donnerstag, 29.01.2004 geschlossen.

Jenes um den Jahreswechsel bereitet mir noch Kopfzerbrechen...es könnte heißen, dass die Konsolidierung noch an die (ca.) 2,60 US $ heranreicht.

Muss es nicht, wenn news anstehen..

Beachtet auch die Bollinger - Banden.
Ihr Trend und ihr Abstand geben meist Hinweise auf künftige Trends und das Maß der Änderung bzw. der Schwankungsbreite (!).

Was meint ihr - wie weit geht die Konsolidierung noch?? Ist es ein positives Zeichen, daß die Umsätze eher etwas niedriger sind momentan, wo es runter geht?
Danke.

[Albatossa]

Hallo meikelgu,

die fallen gerade wie ein Backstein vom Himmel! Es kann sein die kommen bei 2,80$ zu stehen es kann aber auch sein bei 1,20$ und auch ein erneuter Test von 0,30$ wäre möglich! Ich schätze irgendwo zwischen 0,90$ und 1,50$ kommen die erst zum stehen! Und ob es dann noch bedeutene Umsätze gibt kann ich mir nur schlecht vorstellen. Um ehrlich zu sein bei Altair ist doch alles möglich vom Bankrott bis zum Marktführer! Und gestern war der Markführer gefragt an der Börse und heute denken alle der Laden geht den Bach herunter! Was morgen sein wird kann ich noch nicht sagen! Aber heute sehen wir wahrscheinlich die 2 wieder!

Ich werde morgen aussteigen und diese Aktie nie mehr anlangen! Zu heiß! Viel zu heiß!

Nano Buzz at Keithley
Monday February 2, 2:45 pm ET
By Seth Jayson


Ah, the magic of a prefix. Thanks to the two following little syllables, "nano," I recently tuned in to the buzz around a small maker of measuring instruments for the semiconductor and wireless industries, Keithley Instruments (NYSE: KEI - News).
"Nano," of course, is Greek for "100% increase in market cap." But a recent newspaper article describing Keithley`s nano-prospects provided only a modest (and quickly reversed) boost to the company`s stock price. That`s pretty odd these days. Especially considering feeding frenzies like the one at Altair Technologies (Nasdaq: ALTI - News), a company with a dubious tech pedigree that seems to produce nothing more technologically advanced than very small rocks.

Keithley, on the other hand, produces the kind of products that could be of actual use in nanotechnology. The firm`s instruments measure tiny electrical charges, among other things, and are used in the semiconductor and wireless industries. Keithley`s current technology, scaled down, would allow for accurate analysis of these new wonder materials. At least, that`s the plan.

Right now, the nanotechnology field is still developing. The industry lacks measurement standards and equipment capable of scrutinizing nano-materials. (It`s difficult to know how much cargo your nanotube space elevator can haul into orbit if you don`t know how tough your nanotubes are.)

Keithley hasn`t exactly been a money-making powerhouse, however. The company just turned in a modest profit for its 2004 Q1, with big increases in orders from Asia and Europe. But a look at the past few years shows that earnings are pretty rare. Is nanotech the cure for Keithley? To its credit, management isn`t saying any such thing. Nobody`s screaming about an up-and-coming billion-dollar market -- a refreshing change from some of the industry hype.

The message here certainly isn`t "buy Keithley" on the hopes that it`s the next nanotech whiz kid. Just keep your eye on it, and the ongoing developments in the industry. Like any new and exciting field, there will be those who strike gold, and those who go bust. Investors will need to be careful to make sure that they end up on the right side.

[Albatossa]

Very small rocks!

[Phear]

Naja, eine massive Bewegung haben wir.
Der Wimpel wurde grandios nach unten verlassen.
Studiere derzeit Candle Sticks, bin noch nicht gut darin, aber ich meine, dass Freitag vorletzte Woche schon zu sehen war, dass ein Trendwechsel einsetzt.
Kann mich irren, aber der status quo gibt mir recht.
Leuts, meiner Meinung nach sieht der Trend sehr bearish aus. Wenn keine Nachrichten kommen...und sie kommen vermutlich nicht in Bälde, da immer etwas durchsickert; dies erzeugt in der Folge eine Umkehrformation.
Diese ist derzeit beileibe nicht gegeben.

Nur meine Meinung und meine Interpretation von Daten aus der Vergangenheit.

Hallo Albatossa-

danke für deine Infos.
Nun, ganz so schwarz möchte ich nun doch nicht sehen. Klar, können die noch etwas weiter fallen - aber wieder auf 0,30 das halte ich für ausgeschlossen. Die Nanotech-Euphorie wird weitergehen und dann wird auch der Titel wieder gefragt sein. Konsolidierungen sind meist kurz und heftig, was auch nicht so verkehrt ist. Schätze, daß wir heute nochmals zur Eröffnung kräftig runtergehen und uns dann im Tagesverlauf erholen. Das wäre eine klassicher sellout. Danach sollte sich das Ganze erst einmal beruhigen beovor es wieder aufwärts geht.
Vom Chart her könnte es bei 2,50 bis 2,80 halten.
Warten wirs ab.

Altair Nanotechnologies Announces New Preclinical Testing for RenaZorb(TM)

Company to File IND Drug Application for RenaZorb, Its Drug Candidate for Phosphate Control in Kidney Dialysis Patients


RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 5, 2004 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NasdaqSC:ALTI - News), a developer and manufacturer of innovative nanomaterial products, announced that it is planning to conduct new preclinical testing of its drug candidate, RenaZorb. The test will use an animal model directly comparing RenaZorb with existing and proposed drugs for phosphate control in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis. The testing is expected to be initiated within 30 to 45 days. The company also announced that it plans to file an IND (Investigational New Drug) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"Animal testing of RenaZorb (lanthanum dioxy carbonate) will directly compare its phosphate binding capabilities with those of Renagel™ (sevelamer) and to lanthanum carbonate tetra hydrate, the active ingredient used in Fosrenol™. The testing is designed to establish the dosing requirements for RenaZorb when compared to these drugs," said Altair President Dr. Rudi E. Moerck.

Dr. Moerck noted that previous laboratory testing conducted by Altair indicates dosage requirements to bind a given quantity of phosphate are lower with RenaZorb.

Altair expects the testing process to require approximately 30 days with availability of data analysis expected to require an additional 30 days. "Altair has already reported successful results for phosphate binding in dogs, rats and 5/6 nephrectomized rats and now we believe it is essential to establish the advantage of RenaZorb`s dosing requirements. Lower dosing requirements can lead to fewer side effects, fewer tablets per day, better patient compliance and ultimately a better drug," commented Dr. Moerck.

The Company plans to advance RenaZorb into Phase I clinical trials if the new animal testing is successful in establishing a lower dosage requirement. Phase I clinical testing for RenaZorb would be conducted by a independent Clinical Research Organization (CRO) and should be a minimal expense for the company. Entering into Phase l clinical trials is expected to greatly enhance RenaZorb`s value and the potential out licensing to a pharmaceutical partner.

Altair recently announced that it has significantly improved its cash position through the recent exercise of outstanding warrants by shareholders and currently has a balance of approximately $11.5 million with 48.2 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. This represents in excess of two years working capital for the company and will assist in the further development of RenaZorb`s Phase l clinical trials and other important development projects.

Altair estimates that the current market for drugs that bind phosphate in patients with ESRD is approximately $600 million.

We are optimistic that Altair`s technology will be very suitable for the Vietnamese titanium mineral deposits that are being considered for the project."

Altair entered into an agreement with Avireco USA, LLC to evaluate Altair`s technology for the $25 million project. Under the terms of the agreement, Altair will determine the suitability of Avireco`s feedstock for producing titanium dioxide pigment using the Altair Hydrochloride Pigment Process (AHPP) during phase one. Upon successful completion of phase one, the agreement provides that Avireco will enter into a licensing agreement with Altair under which Avireco will have an exclusive license to manufacture and market titanium dioxide pigment throughout Vietnam and other countries. Altair will receive royalties on all pigment sold by Avireco.

Under the current project plan, at the completion of phase one, Altair, in conjunction with Avireco, will select an engineering/construction management contractor to design and manage the construction of operational modular facilities for the manufacturing of titanium dioxide pigment using Altair`s patented process. Altair may use part of its existing plant for the demonstration phase to establish design data and project development information. This data will be provided to the general contractor to facilitate the engineering design and building process. The new facilities are planned to initially produce 5,000 tons of pigment per year with the capability to expand to 10,000 tons or more of pigment per year for export purposes.

Altair recently signed a technology licensing agreement for the use of its AHPP process with Alberta, Canada-based Western Oil Sands. Western Oil Sands and its partners have completed construction of the $5.7 billion (Canadian) first phase of the Athabasca Oil Sands Project. Operations commenced April 2003 and production at the Project continues to progress towards design production rates of 155,000 barrels per day. Under the terms of the agreement, Western Oil Sands will initially evaluate the AHPP to recover titanium and zirconium in heavy mineral by-products from oil sands tailings taken from various oil sands operations in the Athabasca region of Alberta, Canada.

Titanium dioxide is the most widely used white pigment in the world. Coatings, plastics, ceramics, inks, and fibers all depend on white pigments to impart color and opacity. This is accomplished either as part of a surface coating such as in paints or by incorporation into the materials themselves such as in plastics or fibers. The total market for titanium dioxide pigment is over 3,500,000 metric tons per year with an annual market value of approximately $9 billion.

wäre schon ganz gut, wenn die 50-Tageline halten würde.
denke mal, das klappt.

[meikelgu]

Hi-gibt es Meinungen, wie weit die Aktie noch fällt? Bin schon seit rund 2 Jahren aus Überzeugung dabei, doch so langsam werde ich nervös. Wäre dankbar für ein paar Meinungen von euch. Danke.

[jog_]

hatte ja gedacht, dass sie im bereich der 50-tagelinie zum stehen kommt. fehlanzeige.

taipan meint nun bei 2,90us$ wäre die umkehr.
kommt mir so vor, als wenn das auch nicht klappt.

bin in ähnlicher situation, werde aber drin bleiben,weil
ich an alti glaube.

z. zt. kommt aber auch die situation des gesamtmarktes hinzu. da sieht es auch nicht gerade rosig aus.

vielleicht hilft jetzt buerlecitin flüssig: Nerven bewahren!

mfg. jog_

[toller]

wäre ne gute gelegenheit zum nachfassen gewesen. seit gestern schon wieder über 60 $cent gestiegen.

[meikelgu]

......kannst immer noch nachfassen. Alti ist was fürs Depot und nicht zum Zocken (wie Obducat oder Amri). Das ist Qualität mit einer Geschäftsleitung, die überzeugende Arbeit leistet.

[Albatossa]

Hallo jog_,


wenn taipan sich an ihre Richtlinie hält, dann dürften die jetzt verkauft haben! Am Di. 24. Feb. 2004 wurde mal richtig abgeräumt und da dürften eigentlich alle Weicheier aus den Markt gespült worden sein! Ob Taipan nochmals einsteigen wird?

Aufjeden Fall sieht es heute bei Alti besser aus und auch der übrige Rest der Aktienwelt sieht nicht mehr so schlecht aus!

Am Dienstag hatten doch schon einige kräftigen Kater!

Gruß Albatossa

[jog_]

hi albatossa,

könnte mir vorstellen, dass taipan weiter sporadisch über alti berichtet.
vielleicht nehmen sie alti auch nochmals auf.
wie ich weiss, ist alti einer der persönlichen favoriten von volkmar michler, dem chefredakteur.

übrigens, ein weiterer spitzenkandidat für sehr gute gewinnchancen ist ivanhoe wkn 907373, ebenfalls von taipan empfohlen.
ich für mein teil bin wieder in alti investiert. ich glaube an den erfolg der firma.

Nun werden ALTI´s Patente langsam aber sicher auf den Markt kommen.
Dieses mal in dem riesen Batterien-Sektor.
Was das bedeutet, kann sich wohl jeder selbst vorstellen.

Altair and Hosokawa Micron International Sign Memorandum of Joint Development Work
Tuesday March 2, 8:00 am ET
Companies Are Working Toward Development and Future Commercialization of Electrode Materials for Batteries, Capacitors and Supercapacitors Manufactured From Altair`s Patented Nanomaterials

RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 2, 2004 -- Altair Nanotechnologies (NasdaqSC:ALTI - News), a developer and manufacturer of innovative nanomaterials and material science-based products, today announced that it has signed a memorandum of joint development work with Hosokawa Micron International, a global leader of powder and particle processing technologies.

Under the terms of the memorandum, which continues through January 1, 2005, Altair Nanotechnologies and Hosokawa Micron will jointly focus on three strategic initiatives: (1) establish a development program using both companies` combined technologies to develop advanced electrode materials for electrochemical devices, which includes batteries, capacitors and supercapacitors from a variety of nanomaterials; (2) strengthen the technical and market position of the companies by combining technological and financial assets, including existing manufacturing capabilities; and (3) apply for U.S. government grants for the development and testing of the electrodes. If the testing is successful, the companies intend provide additional funding for commercialization activities, including erection of dedicated facilities to supply commercial quantities of treated or coated nano-sized cathode and anode materials for use in electrodes for advanced electrochemical devices.

"The agreement to work jointly with Hosokawa highlights our strategic focus of bringing commercial nanomaterial products to market, in particular for use in advanced battery applications," said Altair Nanotechnologies President Dr. Rudi E. Moerck. "Hosokawa`s expertise and intellectual property in the field of nano scale composite technologies compliment the nano-sized cathode and anode materials we currently manufacture, and should greatly reduce time-to-market for real world application of nanotechnology in this market."

"Altair`s success to date with institutions such as Telcordia / Rutgers University and Xoliox / Ntera has made it a nanomaterials leader both in the United States and Europe," said Dr. C.C. Huang, Director of the Hosokawa Nano Particle Technology Center (USA). "Hosokawa Mechano Chemical Bonding Technology is an enabling technique for nanoparticle applications, and it has a proven track of record of improving the performance of electrode material by bonding nanoparticles on it. We believe this agreement will afford both companies technical strategic advantage in securing a commercial position within the developing battery markets using nanoparticles and nanomaterials, and we are excited at the prospect of working with Altair in the coming months."

Studies done by third parties show that Altair`s nano-sized lithium titanate spinel battery material exhibited charge and discharge rates up to 100 times higher than materials used in batteries commercially available. Telcordia recently developed a non-aqueous asymmetric hybrid prototype battery incorporating Altair`s nano lithium titanate spinel. The prototype exceeded DOE/PNGV standards. The article can be found in The Journal of Power Sources, 113 (2003) 62-71 and 115 (2003) 171-178. Nanomaterials are expected to cause a quantum leap in performance, along with a rapid market adoption within the $42 billion battery industry.

Hallo jog_

Altair ist auf Dauer einfach nicht mehr aufzuhalten!

[meikelgu]

Wie weit fällt Alti noch?
Und warum??

[jog_]

vermutlich z. Zt. schlechtes Gesamtumfeld.

Wenn wir etwas Glück haben, kommt sie wieder etwa bei
2,60 US$ zum stehen.

Das könnte eine Wende für ALTI bedeuten.
Sollte der Gesamtmarkt weiter fallen, sieht es wohl eher schlecht aus.

Bleibt zu hoffen, daß die Börse das honoriert.
Die letzten Tage waren wirklich nicht sehr dolle. Aber ich glaube an die Firma und den Geschäftserfolg. Bischen ärgerlich ist es schon, wenn man die Kurse so bröckeln sieht, aber für mich ist das keine Zockeraktie.

[jog_]

Mir bereitet der Markt richtig Sorge.

Hoffendlich gibt das keinen echten Crash.

Wie siehst Du die Sache?

Mfg jog_

[jog_]

Könnte auch ein Sellout sein.

[meikelgu]

Sieht heute wieder schlecht aus, leider.
Vom Chart her trübt sich das Ganze auch noch ein. Ein klassischer Ausverkauf wäre nicht schlecht; allerdings sollte der Markt dann drehen im Tagesverlauf. Sonst wirds heikel. Auch die Umsäzte sind die letzten Tage nicht so gross. Insgesamt eher schlechtes Bild, leider.

[meikelgu]

Sieht schlecht aus; fürchte wir gehen bis 2 Dollar runter

könntest recht haben.

Guten Morgen,
kann jemand mir mal bitte sagen, was das mit dem Taxen hin und her, den ganzen Tag über, ohne Umsätze zu bedeuten hat????

Warum macht ein Makler sowas???

Diese Aktie raubt mir wirklich auch noch den letzten guten Nerv!

Fazit: Strong buy
