I first started thinking about bee populations as a result of Select Harvests Limited (ASX: SHV) because bees are required for the pollination of almond trees.

This post is about a micro-cap company called Atlas Pearls Limited (ASX:ATP) that farms pearls and has recently moved into the production of essential oils. It's also about that company's investor relations firm, Bourse Communications, and Bourse's managing director Rod North, who contacted me some time ago.

I caught up with a friend of mine the other day who is an experienced investor. He told me that one of the reasons that he bought My Net Fone was because he made a spreadsheet of companies and marked off who (of the good investors he knows) liked them. I am going to attempt to do the same thing with my Micro - Nano Watchlist.

I'm pleased to present to you the first ever report on the portfolio's progress that incorporates dividends. There have been no changes to the portfolio since I last wrote in March. Also, prices are true at 3pm 10 June. I simply wanted to get it done (I've been putting it off for ages). With luck, they won't change too much in the next hour of trading.

In its most recent quarterly report, Resonance Health Limited (ASX: RHT) reported positive operating cashflow of $94,000 and $829,000 in the bank.

Sorry, this post is more of a diary entry than thorough research, I'm just feeling so frustrated and I need to vent. Psychology and lesson learning are consistently underrated elements of the investing equation.
