Just a guess... we tread water tomorrow and move up on Friday and up for the next 2 weeks
TRTC is running the same trend as it did just before and after NV REC hit. Just a lot more volume

[excboe]

37% state tax and no big IRS write offs. This is why DP and crew took Blum public. Do you think they just wanted to share profits with you or that they figured out that there is no money to be made unless they dilute and dump on fools who believe that this company will ever make a dime.

CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV

CNN Anchor Smoked Pot on Live TV During New Year’s Eve Special

Many house-dwelling Americans sat on their couches on New Year’s Eve, getting shit-faced drunk and waiting for the ball to drop to signify the coming of 2018. And many of those Americans were shocked to see people getting exceptionally stoned on live television. Even more shocking? One CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV.

During a New Year’s Eve broadcast in Denver, Colorado, a CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV. Not everyone was impressed.

CNN Anchor Smoked Pot on Live TV During New Year's Eve Special
Many house-dwelling Americans sat on their couches on New Year’s Eve, getting shit-faced drunk and waiting for the ball to drop to signify the coming of 2018. And many of those Americans were shocked to see people getting exceptionally stoned on live television. Even more shocking? One CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV.

Ringing In The New Year Right

CNN Anchor Smoked Pot on Live TV During New Year's Eve Special
The Hollywood Reporter

During CNN’s coverage of the year-end festivities in Times Square, the cable news network aired an additional live segment from Denver. That’s where anchor Randi Kaye and several enthusiastic members of high society smoked legal marijuana in front of the cameras. That’s right: the CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV.

The piece showed Kaye holding a joint for the audience to see, shouting, “This is for you Andy!” as a nod to CNN’s Andy Cohen, who hosted the New Year’s Eve show along with Anderson Cooper.

Kaye even assisted one guy in firing up his gas mask bong in front of millions of television viewers. In the grand scheme in the fight to end prohibition, it was a legendary sight for stoned eyes.

But many of the folks on the other end of the television set were less impressed. Believe it or not, some were not happy with CNN’s willingness to openly embrace the marijuana culture.

The Backlash
Some took to their trusty Twitter accounts to express their outrage over the fact that a CNN anchor smoked pot on live TV. They argued that since marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, CNN should face consequences for their permissive move. They called for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to swoop in and punish the news organization for promoting drug use on national TV.

Others seemed somewhat unnerved that CNN televised pot smoking activities. Especially since thousands of people are still in prison for doing much of the same.

A few Americans voiced concerns over the televised pot smoking leading to the end of a credible nation.

“You are now the high news network. Congratulations on destroying what credibility you had left with middle America,” one angry citizen posted on Twitter.

The day following the broadcast, Fox News host Laura Ingraham flipped out on social media, posting on Twitter that all of this legal weed business would lead to “more potheads, increase in cases of schizophrenia, psychosis, more impaired driving… as #BigWeed makes billions.”

Of course, marijuana advocates crawled out of the woodwork to chastise her for the negative comments. Many folks gave Ingraham hell for having such a narrow view of the subject, while others, including her fans, encouraged her to give legal marijuana more consideration.

“Sorry Laura, I love you & your conservative positions but pot is sooooo much safer than an unconscious, how did I get home, booze binge. I know from experience and never, ever went into a slurred & unconscious state with pot,” wrote one of her followers.

Final Hit: CNN Anchor Smoked Pot on Live TV
CNN host Anderson Cooper witnessed the broadcast unfold with the rest of the nation. He has since come out to defend his colleague.

Cooper told Stephen Colbert earlier this week that Kaye’s decision to cover the New Year’s parties with marijuana was not a problem for him. He said: “First of all, it’s legal in Colorado. We are grown adults and she did not smoke obviously. The whole thing surprised me as much as anyone else.”

The longtime CNN host later joked with Colbert about “not really” being surprised that legal marijuana was becoming increasingly widespread across the country.

“Think about California,” he said. “I mean it makes sense.”

Interestingly, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, the anti-pot legalization group that spends its days fighting a battle it has already lost, recently took to its Twitter account to ask the FCC and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate CNN’s controversial broadcast. So far, the federal government has not said whether it intends to go after the network.

Considering the risqué subject matter that makes it on network television these days, it is doubtful that any government agency would dare stand up to make noise over the segment.

Here is the reality we currently find ourselves in. A majority of states now allow for some form of mj use. The entire country of Canada is set to legalize MJ as early as this year, and this is one of the last real MJ companies anyone can buy for less than a dollar. This company although not profitable at the moment does employee what 200 people and has positioned itself to make a ton of money in California in the coming months. I can only speak for myself but I am going to accumulate each paycheck despite what the PPS does ( use dollar cost averaging) as this stock could be worth several dollars near term. Best of luck to everyone here despite your goals and trading strategies

There's a difference between profit-taking and BEAR runs I think you'll notice almost every stock has three legs down if they're down...

Wrong! TRTC trades in after hours, I just put in a bid and got filled.

[Tutu]

Lol

[Maine420]

Correct. It won't be for another two years (end of 2018 at the soonest) or 2019 before recreational pot will be sold in NJ. NJ will have no immediate or even short term bearing on TRTC.

[Greennewlife]

They are trying to confuse you so that you hand them your shares at a lower price!

[Tutu]

Thank you don't know why people insist on it

[AC7880]

Pot legalized in NJ in under 6 months yes.

Actual open dispensaries and cultivation underway in 100 days - no way.

[kevindenver]

Hmmm good to know. Did you happen to see how in Cali Harborside was reconditioning greenhouses in the Salinas Valley?

I wonder when super lettuce is replaced by super buds? 1 year, 2 years?

[Never_Post]

I agree with the T trade scenario.... However, Pre-market is "Extended Hours" and what was all of the pre-market trading going on this morning?

More that a dozen trades before the Bell, resulting in a higher opening price.

[Greennewlife]

THERE IS NO EXTENDED HOURS TRADE IN THE OTC!!!! That was a late post.

[garyhalvo]

AC, this is in no way going to be longer than 6 months to legalize, NJ already has MMJ and Murphy wants the tax money.

[starkd748]

Weeeeeeeee only day 3 in legal mj in California. ....

[Greennewlife]

I hope this goes to dollar territory where it belongs sooner than later!

[longhaul4]

probably a t trade that doesn't execute on file until after market closed

[Maine420]

I'm on Fidelity too and see that as well. That is the time that the Market Maker recorded that transaction. It is not the time the actual transaction took place.
Just think about it....70 million shares traded today. 50K shares is not going to move the stock 4.5 cents.

[mister ed]

Time and Sales on my Fidelity trading platform indicates a sale of 50,000 shares at 4:13 p.m at $0.46 OTQX.

Something goes on afterhours.

[Never_Post]

For the most part you are correct, and that was my initial thought. However, if you look back at the candlesticks at the end of May 2014 the pattern appears to be ironically similar to the pattern of the last few days and that ended up being a one day pull back.

With the huge interest (volume) in this stock story, I would not be surprised if we experienced a one day pull back as well.

[BidnessMan]

I believe it was naked shorting preceded just like it always is by the fear factory and as usual their reactions are just precious.

[ThatHawaiiGuy]

There's a difference between profit-taking and their runs I think you'll notice almost every stock has three legs down if they're down...

This one had a down leg, It tried to come back, aad then they sold more...and they did it one more time, I believe the term is "naked shorting..."

Look at the day charts you'll see the same pattern for many stocks, three legs down...Many of them starting around the same time.

[AC7880]

The bill legalizing in NJ may be signed that quickly. Implementation will take quite a while. Look how long rec sales in CA took.

Yes, a catalyst when signed. Yes, when TRTC can begin growing weed a catalyst. Still, this is along term overall situation.

[Maine420]

There is no extended hours for this stock. That trade occurred earlier this morning. Please see the below, which was posted by RobotDroid about a month ago.

There is much confusion and rumor regarding “T Trades” in the penny stock market. Nasdaq Pink Sheet stocks often close at a certain price and, within 3-10 minutes after the closing bell, will show a large final trade that gets labeled as an “after hours” trade. Simply put, this is an inaccurate description of that trade.

To understand how this trade works, one must understand the role of the market maker. The most frustrating aspect of investing in the pennies, is market maker manipulation of the stock price. Anyone that claims this manipulation doesn’t happen truly does not understand the OTC Market. Market makers are in place to “control” the price of a stock and, theoretically, to ensure that the market reacts properly to supply and demand for a certain stock. Unfortunately, when large sums of money and a lack of regulation are involved, more often than not, there is manipulation that suits the needs of certain investors or the market makers themselves. After all, they are in business to make money as well. If the average investor is purchasing stocks in the OTC Market, that investor is truly at the mercy of the market makers involved in the purchase and sale of that security.

When researching this article, The response from the SEC defined a “Form T Trade” a “trade reporting form used by broker-dealer members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) to report equity trades executed either in the OTC market or during extended hours trading. Recent amendments to FINRA rules will expand the types of situations in which Form T is to be used, but they are not yet in effect.” The response also recommended contacting FINRA. Notice the first portion of the response. “either in the OTC Market or…” Once again, it is confirmed by the SEC that ”after hours” trades do not exist in the Pinks.

FINRA was much less transparent in their response and essentially spewed the same limited information regarding T Trades that is available on their website. None of which, accurately reflects why these trades occur in the OTC Markets. (http://www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p123750.pdf)

Trying to decipher the meaning of these trades with the limited information that is available on the subject led down several dark paths. Clearly, the average investor is not meant to understand the concept or its rules. Even more disconcerting is the second part of the SEC message “Recent amendments to FINRA rules will expand the types of situations in which Form T is to be used, but they are not yet in effect.” That means there is even less transparency about this mysterious T Trade.

After months of due diligence, there are a few poorly publicized uses for a T Trade. The most important factor here is that the only requirement of market makers by FINRA is that they must report all trades in a day. They are not required to do so when the actual trade occurs.

To avoid creating “an unbalanced market”, market makers often do not report certain trades during the day to the public and then use a T Trade not to “scare” investors into thinking a market for that stock is going in one direction or the other at the spurring of one large investor.

If a market maker wants to accumulate a large amount of a stock in one trading day, that market maker may actually not report any of the trades that occurred until the trading day has ended so as not to alert the market to the collection. This practice is completely legal under the FINRA rules of the OTC Markets so long as the trade is reported at the end of the day.

To execute a Market on Close” order, a market maker may have an order to purchase the stock at a certain price at the end of the trading day. This is the most unlikely scenario because it needs to be assured that someone selling the stock and someone buying that stock are agreeing upon a price. Simply put, this is more likely with insider buying and selling.

The T Trade that the public sees is nothing more than one or all of the above scenarios. The T Trade reported at the end of the day can be from one market maker or many involved market makers. It can be a single purchase price but is usually an average of all of the previously unreported purchases from that business day.

Penny stocks are an exciting and lucrative business. As most everyone will tell you, it is not for the weak of heart. There is definite money to be made in the OTC Markets and more penny stock millionaires are made every day. But the best way to win the game is to know the rules!

One additional fact surfaced about market makers while researching T Trades. Did you know that market makers are not required to honor their offer price? That is correct, because the OTC market is essentially a “best offer” market. If a buyer meets the asking price for a security, the market maker can, and often does, decide to rescind the offer, not sell the security and adjust the selling price.

You are right,that's going to be the reality of these low priced mj stocks for a while.They attract the "flippers" who watch it go up 20-25% or so and then they sell.But there is no doubt the trend is UPWARD
for the foreseeable future,IMO.I don't have the bankroll or the time to play the flip game.Good for those that do.I'm pretty comfortable with the "long" position I've taken.

[garyhalvo]

Oh well, his lost

[JHG3]

Terra Tech has 6 operational dispensaries in adult-use markets. I know for a fact that Arizona dispensaries are doing $800k-$1.2m/mo in a medical only market w roughly 150k patients. Aurora did $3.1m in November. The Blums will double that going forward which puts them over $50m annually without considering the wholesale of IVXX which I imagine would bring in AT LEAST $100k/mo. I find it hard to imagine this company doesn't start generating a profit in the near future.

[BidnessMan]

Read the note

[garyhalvo]

Nj will have it within 100 days after the newly elected governor gets into office, he's already on record saying so.

[Kuberax]

Nobody is saying "wait for it". It's just another catalyst to help propel this forward in the future.

Even after a red day, shareholders here are up 100% from a month ago.

Congratulations to all.

TRTC pps up 100%

[AC7880]

That wasn't such a bad correction after so many green days in a row. Down 10.04%, two day average up 8%.

[Maine420]

Keep in mind that this stock rarely has just one Green or one Red day in a row. It has multiple days.

[SSCadaver]

NJ is no where close. People have been claiming that here for YEARS.

[Greennewlife]

LOTS OF RED in the pot index today.
Profit taking and then up again. This is just beginning! The end of January will be parabolic after a whole full month of legal pot in CA!

[Green Mountain]

I'm not complaining as from 12K in the pits to down less than a $1,000 and now in [position for the next swing up.

[Ragz2Richez]

I didn't know stocks are supposed to go up everyday.....

[RobotDroid]

What a crappy day. Silence from trtc, meanwhile the other pot stocks are still soaring. I guess DP forgot to hire a marketing department.
