RE:atc historyI have been following ATC since 2011 or so. The US government had a quantitative easing program which had been in place for a while, in response to the financial crisis of 2008. This caused a wonderful rally, which might even be called a "speculative bubble", for a couple of years or so. Add to that was the mystique and mystery of "Carlin Gold in Canada!". The quantitative easing program was ended or at least tapered off, in late 2011. That's why I think the price of ATC (and most gold stocks), tanked.
