HESG was absorbed today. For 250k, you can buy a fractional or whole company as a shell.
Can't wait to see what HESG becomes now... might change tickers and be reborn. Or, someone might just sit on it to sell as a shell in the future.
I understand. But, there are people on this board that don't. I am making sure they have the information they need to not get suckered until the learn the game.
So stop pumping. Seriously, stop pumping on this board.
GNRH ran because more than 85% of the shares were controlled by three firms prior to the run up and then were loosened. My guess is they are still being released.
HSCC is not GNRH. The mechanics of the run up are completely different. If you understand wavelets I can prove this to you.
And you need to learn that hype is not the driving factor. Liquidity is. There are plenty of news posts that did nothing to the stocks... because those stocks are not under MM control.
If you want, start into ACGX. It is a packaging company... and in the trips. Eventually, all these "pot" companies will need branded packaging. Do some research and you will eventually find the connection. MAybe you'll get another 1500% stock this year.
Private investment:
There are companies looking for investment in Oregon and Washington. Companies with working aqua / hydroponic setups. I spoke with one last week. They are EVERYWHERE.
If you have 100k+ just start calling local Farmers Union / or farmers co-op, in your state (or Oregon/Washington) and find them. This isn't rocket science people it won't take long to find a horticulturist / greenhouse owner that is ready to grow weed. For the cost of a flight and lawyer you to can invest.
Congrats on your profits. I don't want to detract from you accomplishment but don't assume anything about who you are talking to. I judge you solely by your unsubstantiated posts pumping a company you obviously have an interest in keeping it's price up.
And, by the way, I have made 100k in one day numerous times in my career.
Yes. Twice in the last 6 months in the pot sector and once in another sector. I owned both GNRH and FITX early last year.
I never stated what stocks I have played. Just what I am currently holding and what I traded today.
So go be intelligent and research something new...
And, if you had enough money you could sit on the "other side of the table."
So stop pumping crap companies. There is no reason. These stocks trade in very predictable patterns based on liquidity flow. You can not affect the price, no matter how much you try. MM's hold 30-70% of the shares of these stocks so you are wasting you time trying to sell these stocks here. A few 10's of million shares from iHub won't do anything beyond a 24 hour period. These stocks only go up or down because of liquidity changes and that is timed to hype... not the other way around.
I could easily flip any of these - ERBB, HEMP, FITX, PHOT... the are all the same. Liquidity traps, or in the case of TRTC an equity trap. But, there is no reason to spread the money around. In pennies YOU WANT liquidity traps. That is how you make money. You want stocks that will be MM manipulated and fluctuated and then diluted... you just don't want to be holding them.
(And now that I have stated this I won't be trading HEMP for 72 hours)
One my list there are six. I am not sitting on the side line.
I flip HEMP and have turned it over once for 600% once and 200% four times during this "rally". I have played HEMP for almost a decade.
I own shares in two private companies (both with revenue) and in two public companies ENDO and ENRT, one of which is ready to sell now and the other is close to being HA approved.
They restructured the current shares by increasing the par share value 100 fold. Those par value numbers are just as important as the total number of shares.
Let me just clear something up your assumption is that I am by some means negative. I am pragmatic and I make a lot of money being so.
ERBB DD (based on logic and figures not magic and pixie dust)
ERBB, much like phot, is only apparently solvent because on an unaudited "goodwill" line item. ERBB is claiming 3 million dollars in goodwill. (And 1.2 million in IP)
http://www.otcmarkets.com/financialReportViewer?symbol=ERBB&id=113798
Their "IP" is in a space where there are freely available open-source tools or is a bordering on a pyramid scheme, Yo Debit. And another ... is... (see below)
http://www.otcmarkets.com/financialReportViewer?symbol=ERBB&id=113798
and the evaluation is ridiculous. So if you remove those items the company lost 6 million or so to get 60k in revenue.
The company did a nifty move by issuing preferred shares at $1 instead of options. Then diluted the common shares each time. Currently, there are 3.75 billion shares. I am not even going to track through all the incarnations of this "company".
The corporate address for ERBB (taken from their rather nifty website) is really this place...
http://www.onebode.com/public/default.aspx
Which, is strange to me that a lot of these "hype" stocks seem to be selling very similar products.
Hmm...
http://www.associatesofwealth.com/OneBodeMLMHomeBusiness/whymlm.htm
Well, it appears to me that all these nutrion companies are just AmWay clone scams.
ERBB is just a stock ticker of a bunch of failed companies coming together. Now how is this even worth someone's time?
I posted this information to the FITX board two weeks ago trying to debunk that FITX even has a chance to compete. I just checked and it was removed...
But, here is what has been going on over the last few months.

You could have just invested directly.
MCIG and HSCC are horrible companies to promote. Provide a link that shows "earnings" or "revenues" other than the side businesses the CEO is associated with.
In regards, to you post.
HSCC did restructure it's shares. It started with 1 billion @ 0.00001. Which equates to a capital investment of $10k. They then restructured to 250 million @ 0.001 which equates to a capitalization of $250k.
So the company, instead of issuing an extra 25 billion shares they consolidated and diluted simultaneously.
"Previous Stock Value: Par Value Shares: 1,000,000,000 Value: $ 0.00001
No Par Value Shares: 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total Authorized Capital: $ 10,000.00
New Stock Value: Par Value Shares: 250,000,000
Value: $ 0.001 No Par Value Shares: 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total Authorized Capital: $ 250,000.00"

HSCC isn't what I would even call a "company". It is an attorney (CEO),
http://www.otcmarkets.com/research/service-provider/David-L.-Shade-Esq.?id=692
and his wife and a friend (director) who happens to also be the "auditor"
http://www.otcmarkets.com/research/service-provider/Ted-C.-Connolly?id=693.
And HSCC has been a pump and dump before.

Just to let you know Dude iLigence you are on my radar to debunk from now on.
I have posted my buy-in positions before. I am pretty transparent... I am happy you bought in low. But, buying in lower doesn't mean really anything against your trade. Now does it?
Cool. I spoke with some growers the other day... let me dig up my notes on that meeting I have some questions. Which province are you in?
I like that no one has been "banned" from this board.
I will assume you got lucky then ;)
Are you are news scraper like me? I keep track of all SEC filings and look for certain words and a track EVERY new ticker for 8 months after going live for MM activity to find the liquidity trap candidates.
Yes. In 2008. I also just "discovered" CYMA.... which is a stock you won't realize is important for 5 years or so...
So now that I am ignoring 60% of this board it was become enjoyable. The FITX board is just like looking into a chicken coup when the chickens can smell the fox. Which, is an altogether different type of enjoyment.
Dude, I will stop posting if people don't respect me when I say "DON'T POST THE SYMBOL." If you are trying to flip this stock to accrue, you might have just screwed with the bid/ask and might get caught. If you are long and bought in months ago then ask yourself this - Do I really want a roller coaster ride?
I really don't believe there is sufficient buying power on this board to make a difference but I'd rather not test that theory. So, please don't post the symbol.
Obviously, that should read "Due to" sorry English majors.
vintagesake: People have already figured out one.
Do to the hype and the current hysteria there is a lot of MM activity in this sector. You can not beat them. If they want the price to fall or rise it is going to fall or rise. There are a few companies I want to see succeed and that means the need to stay off the radar of the MMs. A few of these I have been buying shares in for over a year and I don't want the share price to be crashed just because people rush in and an MM realizes it can a short hedge on it.
Answers:
I am exhausted so this is really terse.
(1) Yes, that is the stock. Thanks for not posting.
(2) I don't like evaluations. In order to evaluate a stock you have to compare against others. But, there is nothing to compare to unfortunately. I will tell you this I am holding until $6. That will probably take 18 months or longer.
(3) No, TRTC is not the company I have found has political connections. TRTC may as well but I have not found a link. The company I am referring to is out of Texas but is in the same business. I have not seen its symbol on any of the "pot" lists.
(4) Yeah, so ever heard of AERO? I bought AERO stock in 2012. It is a direct competitor with PHOT AND it actually is a real company. So AERO was less than 50 cents when I bought and I sold just under $4. During that same time PHOT... well has sincerely underperformed. So I think I have answered both your questions. I gave a stock that has been completely missed by these "comprehensive" lists and one that should give you proof that PHOT is a scam. If it wasn't well it would have done what AERO did. My list of pot sector stocks, and stocks that should benefit from weed has at least 20 symbols I have never seen on any lists on iHub.
(5) My guess is that the toxic investor is gambling on the company going bankrupt and seizing the assets. The loan is contingent upon a the stock going up through that offering. And, though that seems like a probability now after the rest of the stocks start diluting which WILL happen then most of the sector will fall and this will prevent the company from meeting it's obligations. This is just a theory. But, it is plausible enough to me that I never bought back after that filing. I have seen similarly events transpire. It is a pretty sharp business move. But, again it is just a theory. I just think my money is better placed elsewhere.
If you guys just want to play short term... there are a whole bunch of stocks that no one has picked up on that will ride the hype. The next way of hype.
Packaging companies, other greenhouses, design firms, all are right on the cusp of being in marijuana.
I really wish people would read ALL I write.
Hemp is the most predictable stock in the group.
So I went to post this to FITX but found I can't… not sure why. Apparently, posting SEC filings is considered "spam" but lesson learned.
Anyways, this is in response to one users question. Everybody else feel free to ignore it.
Read the book "On bull$hit" it will help understand CEO's. The greatest thing about a bull sh%tter is they start with the truth.
Bill (the "CEO" of FITX) posted to Facebook:
"Dear Shareholders I've had emails regarding the arc view presentation. At the lunch meet and greet we had an investor divulge that he was funding a small facility in western Canada. We immediately realized that we could not present our originally prepared presentation as we did not want to divulge competitive trade secrets. Instead we chose to use the avenue as a means to announce our partnership. We were seeking funding for phase 2 of the project. We met two very wealthy and influential individuals who may have interest in funding phase 2. Once operational we probably will not need them. We also found that Harborside essentially runs arc view and were themselves seeking funding for a new dispensary. They too are potential competitors. Furthermore, we have a due diligence to regulatory agencies and shareholders what we can and cannot divulge."
And the first part I have no doubt is true. One of the investors is investing in a company in Western Canada. That is where most of the money is going…
http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/01/17/medical-marijuana-production-in-canada-set-for-dramatic-change/
Which makes sense, the weather is better, there is a steady supply of water and the next two states to go legal are Washington and Oregon. So it will be easy to expand… plus in the middle of Canada you have to worry about shipping during the long winter to get to… well where people are.
If you go back through my FITX posts you will see I have made these points before. My opinion has not changed on geography and hydrology.
Then after the truth, they just make stuff up...
But, from his Facebook post you now know where the real money is going… and just coincidentally there is a publicly traded company (on both the CANX and Pinks) that happens to be growing weed and is located in Western Canada. Stricly speaking it is investing in a private company that grows weed already. As far as I can tell it is not being pumped nor does it appear to be MM manipulated… who knows on this though.
Now it is not all sing-songy, this is still a pink, BUT it is a foreign representative pink which makes a big difference to me. On the negative, they have an ex-CBIS employee working with them… technically they only own 51% of the grower… etc.
On the positive, they aren't trying to grow weed. They just gave money to a group of people that grow weed… which is what I would do.
Anyways, jausting32424,
that is what I meant by Bill gave you your "salvation". Just figure out what that company is… and seriously it isn't that hard. Obviously, I own shares in this stock so judge accordingly. So if you figure it out and have questions just ask - but please do not post the ticker. I will give you the good and the bad as openly as possible just private message me and I'll send you an email. But, volatility is not a good thing in pennies if you want the stock to survive. As soon as MMs get involved the stock goes where they want it.
And, jausting32424, on your "off-putting" remark, I wanted to know who certain people where… best and quickest why to find out is to just knock holes in their glass castles.
Anyways, I am sure you will find the company. It is not a sure thing… it is just better than all the rest by a mile. Or a kilometer 'cause its Canadian.
On another FITX note - I really like the FITX's CEO's Facebook "likes" though. Litigous and responsible might mean something else in Chaaban.

Just for this one stock.
By 12:55pm...
one of the VP's of a certain company found me on LinkedIn the other day. Not because of my research interests here but through another venue.
I have been tempted to post his message to me. If I did, everyone would sell immediately, but that really isn't my intention. There is plenty of money to be made in all of these stocks still.
From wikipedia,
"Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds that activate cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals),[1] the phytocannabinoids (found in cannabis and some other plants), and synthetic cannabinoids (manufactured chemically)."
The patent is for a very specific cannabanoid. A synthetic one. If you choose to stay ignorant do it on your own time. If you want to learn something... read the patent.
Some are natural products. Some are synthetic.
No. Read the patent. Nothing you stated is factual.
It isn' the gubment. It isn't the plant.
I highly recommend you read the patent. Pretty much all of the assumptions about who owns it and what it is about are just ignorance.
http://www.google.com/patents?hl=en&lr=&vid=USPAT6630507&id=0pcNAAAAEBAJ&oi=fnd&dq=6630507+US+Patent&printsec=abstract#v=onepage&q=6630507%20US%20Patent&f=false
I don't assume anything. I deal in probability. Not suppositions. Everything is just a risk calculation. So what are the odds a company that has done a stock split and had a 400% increase in preferred shares in the last 6 months going to dilute?
Based on experience, that percentage is very, very high. It certainly is better than 50/50 so even you, someone of sound logical principals can't possibly believe your own statement. That is very, very strange to me. You speak just to hear yourself talk maybe?
BTW I am ignoring you after this. And, I have never met NEWMEDMAN. I don't have a clue who he is. Nor does he know who I am.
You can either stop attempting to prove me wrong and start looking at the information I post and learn something or continue to waste your time. Or you can ignore me. I prefer you just do the latter.
A little advice -
Do not trade in a sector of stock you are emotionally connected. It will blind you to facts that oppose your position.
So, if you have been trading pennies for ten years then by all means play the pot sector. You most likely know how the game is played but if, this sector is your first foray into penny trading AND you really believe pot is the future then there are three things you need to realize.
One - Most penny stocks are scams, regardless of if they are about weed or gold mining or woman's underwear. In fact, they are not too far removed from Nigerian "Prince" Scams. They don't even attempt to hide it because, much like the Nigerian Scam, they only want to lure in the true suckers. Then ones that will believe all the way to 0.000. Don't be one of those people.
For example, someone (who I don't want to call out) posted to me a Yahoo article showing that a company lowered it's authorized share value. As a retort to my posting of a cut-and-paste from an SEC filing. First of all stop reading Yahoo Finance… second of all the article is 100% accurate and purposefully written to find the suckers. Because, three months before that same company increased it's preferred authorized share level by 400%. So, there is in effect more shares. And, preferred shares are usually converted 10 : 1 so in reality there are a lot more shares. And this fact wasn't published with much pomp. My school age son is sharp enough to read three more paragraphs in the filing document and catch that little trick. But, if I told him Goofy was just a man in suit he'd probably not believe me. That is because he has an emotional attachment to his idea of goofy but not this stock.
In fact, what the finance article was doing was obvious. It is so obvious that if you don't see through it you are so blinded by your own ego or hope or naivety or maybe you are filthy rich and just don't care - that means you might be that person that will probably ride the ship all the way down to 0.000.
Two - It is better to leave money on the table than to loose. If you made 20% don't sweat that the stock goes up 30%. My guess is most of you make money, loose money. I have already posted 7 years of trading history. I don't loose money. Feel free to go look at that trade log.
And three - These CEO's are not your friends. They have, for the most part, have no interest in the common shares. Their salaries/benefits are NOT tied to the common share price. A few are issuing options most are just giving out par valued shares. And, some of these "companies" are not in fact what you would call a company. They are one person who is CEO,CFO,Treasure, VP, etc sitting in their home office somewhere…. or a company with 15ish employees all of whom are director or VP's.
I have gone to some of their offices and found expired leases, notifications of failure to pay electricity, and a shoe company where there wasn't supposed to be shoes.
And I am not joking… do some research and you will find the pot sectors stocks I am talking about. There are more than one for each of the above...
If you met a person in a bar who was CEO of his own company and the sole employee would you believe him? If you met 15 VP's of a company with 17 employees. Would you believe them?
Here is some historical perspective to illustrate all these points… a few years ago one of these pot sector stocks was involved in a 600k pump and dump scheme… you can read all about here. This is not information to dissuade anyone from anything. Just for the new people you need to be aware of the degree to which companies can be deceptive.
http://www.otcmagic.com/lifetech-industries-inc-otc-ltch-the-billion-juggernaut
That is right… a company that made 12k paid (or had people associated with it) pay 600k to advertise the stock. I don't want to give the story away but the company never made it to the 1 trillion dollar evaluation. This is more the norm of pennies than the exception unfortunately.
One of the current pot sector companies has a nice section in their s-1 explaining why the previous management is currently serving in federal prison...
Currently, there are almost 60 stocks that are in the pot OTC sector (some aren't strictly pennies) that I know about… and one is probably real. A few others might eventually be real. And rest aren't even trying to hide the fact they are scams.
There may be a few I don't know about, but since I wake up every morning to emails that filter and parse through every new filing to the OTC and SEC I doubt I have missed any or that I won't know about a novel MJ stock before it even has time to release a press release.
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/lifetech-industries-inc-announces-name-change-to-mcig-inc-forward-stock-split-2013-08-28
he did a 10 : 1 dilution just last year. And, yes it is the same CEO.
Hi jaustun32424...
I will answer your other question tomorrow in regards to FITX. I am too tired right now to actually write out enough details.
Then you apparently don't know how.
There are 1 billion preferred shares as of August 2013. 250 authorized common and granted to the former CEO beyond the 560 million stated. Which is in the Dec 10-Q.
The 1 billion preferred will be converted into common probably at 10 : 1 ... so there is nothing but dilution in the future.
"New Stock Value: Par Value Shares: 1,000,000,000"
You might want to re-read the first link. Or at least read a few inches down the page.
You will see in August they increased the preferred stock by 400%. Since preferred shares are usually 10 : 1 convertible the total number of shares is considerably higher.
Just block me please.
You are stating the private sector will some how loose it's advantage to the current public sector offerings? That is my point.
Only time will tell but the big money is betting against you.
