Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
Page issues
In the United States, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) is a private corporation that acts as a self-regulatory organization (SRO). FINRA is the successor to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) and the member regulation, enforcement and arbitration operations of the New York Stock Exchange. It is a non-governmental organization that regulates member brokerage firms and exchange markets. The government agency which acts as the ultimate regulator of the securities industry, including FINRA, is the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Functions: regulation and licensure Edit
FINRA regulates trading in equities, corporate bonds, securities futures, and options. All firms dealing in securities that are not regulated by another SRO, such as by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), are required to be member firms of the FINRA.
As part of its regulatory authority FINRA periodically conducts regulatory exams of its regulated institutions. FINRA recently released its tenth annual Regulatory and Examinations Priorities Letter for 2015, which impacts broker-dealers as well as their affiliated insurance companies and banks. In its Regulatory and Examinations Priorities Letter for 2015 FINRA has identified variable annuities as a significant area of focus for exams in 2015, and has pointed out particular elements of sales practices that will be reviewed.[9]
FINRA licenses individuals and admits firms to the industry, writes rules to govern their behavior, examines them for regulatory compliance, and is sanctioned by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to discipline registered representatives and member firms that fail to comply with federal securities laws and FINRA's rules and regulations. It provides education and qualification examinations to industry professionals. It also sells outsourced regulatory products and services to a number of stock markets and exchanges; e.g. American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and the International Securities Exchange (ISE).
NASD, the predecessor of FINRA, founded the NASDAQ ("National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations") stock market in 1971. In 2006, NASD demutualized from NASDAQ by selling its ownership interest.
The NASD, now FINRA, publishes much educational information for the public and has been publishing and disclosing the education and exam requirements for USA based credentials, charters, designations and certifications that are offered by SROs for about a decade.[10]

As I understand it stock shares has to be issued from the state a company is listed in and FINRA has to okay it. So according to the State of NEVADA records dilution is impossible. GLTA

Amazonas Florestal Ltd. Announced Today That The Company's Wholly Owned Subsidiary, Amazon Hemp, will not be implementing a reverse stock split during 2017, and Further Announces Update on Hemp Plantations in Colorado
MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2017) - Amazonas Florestal, Ltd. ("Amazonas Florestal" or the "company") (OTC PINK: AZFL), a premier provider and innovator of natural resources products, certification and sales of carbon credits, sustainable forest management resources and related services, as well as a pioneer to the development and enhancement of the evolving and legal Industrial CBD Hemp business, announced that AZFL will NOT be implementing a reverse stock split during 2017.
AZFL main focus is in the long term success of the company and their shareholders, it is important to the AZFL family to implement the right strategies and to take the necessary steps to accomplish that goal. Starting by assuring the shareholders that AZFL does not plan nor implement a reverse stock split in the next upcoming years. The company understands the tremendous value shareholders bring to support the success of AZFL; therefore, AZFL will go above and beyond to bring shareholders value.
As part of this current strategy, the company's board is studying the possibility to buyback company's shares and pay back part of the debt once the proceedings and profits from the Hemp plantations in Colorado are available.
In addition, AZFL has negotiated with note-holders to temporarily freeze selling debt notes up until after harvesting time late October 2017.
Hemp Plantation Update:
As of today, we are on our 67th day out of 110 days of production, putting the project at a 61% completion.
Ricardo Cortez -- Chairman:
"We have three (3) major announcements that we are excited to share with our shareholders (above). AZFL is aware of the value that the company could potentially bring to our shareholders in the near future once revenues are reported; therefore, we are to avoid any further damage to the shareholders value at this time. Stay tuned for further important updates!"

Yes, news of Lab = pennies.
News of harvest = silver.
With actual verified MJ Fields.
In a couple of weeks that plant will be up at his shoulders and starting to bloom give or take a few days.
In August with pictures of it maturing and Lab being set up who knows what the pps will be.
If I understand correctly this has about the same growth rate and season as tobacco. The last month of growth is amazing.
It seems to me that you have a lot of understanding on what was done to this company. You have been following this for a long time it seems?

Getting back to technical information. Speaking about the underwriter/Broker for the Algae REIT that GCEI will be meeting with is actually a MM. so when this takes place the Market will take it up.
GCEI $$$$
The company will be meeting with its New York underwriter to determine the REIT pricing. Global Clean Energy plans on becoming the managing general partner and retain 20% equity ownership of the REIT. The final size of the offering will be determined based on the speed at which the operation can be built out.

Yes I agree Pepsi. By watching it trade you can tell the float is pretty much sown up. And it helps to know where several million is to.

I have a feeling that something is about to happen and the MMS have gotten ahold of it. IMO

GCEI has 20% equity ownership of the REIT. that has to go to the shareholders it's law. Don't know how much it will be worth yet but we get it.

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 23468 / February 16, 2016
Securities and Exchange Commission v. PV Enterprises, Inc., Panagiotis Villiotis, Virtual Sourcing, Inc., Norman Birmingham, Mario Faraone and Sweet Challenge, LLC (a/k/a Sweet Challenge, Inc.), Civil Action No. 1:16-cv-20542-RNS (S.D. Fla.)
SEC Charges Microcap Companies and Individuals with Registration and Antifraud Violations in Connection with Scheme to Make Restricted Shares of Companies Freely Tradeable
On February 16, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged PV Enterprises, Inc. ("PVEC") and Panagiotis Villiotis ("Villiotis") with violations of the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The Commission also charged Virtual Sourcing, Inc. ("Virtual"), Norman Birmingham ("Birmingham"), Mario Faraone ("Faraone") and Sweet Challenge LLC ("Sweet Challenge") with violations of the registration provisions of the federal securities laws.
The SEC's complaint, filed in federal court in Florida, alleges that:
PVEC and Virtual sold outstanding debt liabilities to the Financing Company; the Financing Company then sued PVEC and Virtual in separate actions in a Florida state court for defaulting on their respective obligations; and the parties settled the actions by requesting the state court allow PVEC and Virtual to pay the Financing Company in company shares that would be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act").
In seeking the Florida state court's approvals, both PVEC and Virtual made material misstatements and withheld significant information, thereby rendering the Section 3(a)(10) exemption unavailable for any stock issuances to the Financing Company.
Specifically, PVEC lied to the Florida state court by misrepresenting that the underlying claims sold to the Financing Company were bona fide, when in fact the claims were fabricated by PVEC. PVEC also misrepresented that none of the money received by its purported creditors would be kicked back to PVEC, when in fact a majority of the money received by the purported creditors was kicked back to PVEC and Villiotis.
Virtual misrepresented that it and its creditor, Sweet Challenge, were not under common control of Birmingham, and also misrepresented that funds received by Sweet Challenge would not be kicked back to Virtual and to Virtual employees, including Faraone.
The complaint alleges that PVEC and Villiotis violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. It further alleges that PVEC, Villiotis, Virtual, Birmingham, Faraone and Sweet Challenge all violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. The SEC seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest thereon, and civil penalties against all defendants. It also seeks penny stock bars against Villiotis, Birmingham and Faraone and seeks an officer and director bar against Villiotis. The SEC's investigation is continuing.
PVEC and Virtual are both microcap stock companies who entered into business transactions with a specific Miami based Financing Company, which resulted in the companies issuing millions of shares of their companies' stock to the Financing Company in purported reliance on an exemption from registration which exempts securities issued in court-approved exchanges for "bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests."

It ran 100%. And will continue to climb with updates.
Read and study the paragraph in the PR. This is what's important to us.

I am really looking forward to it. And it will all be because of GCEI.

I'm flying to Montana to meet up with an old friend of mine. We are going to the best steak house in the state. Then he promised me a couple of days fishing in a beautiful Mountain Lake.

Yes!! And then the Quarterly is due Aug 15th.
You are correct!!! Strictly manipulation. Don't know what the hold up is but until the news comes out they are doing everything they can to accumulate cheap large blocks.
And you are correct!!! The charts definitely tells what a stock is doing in its sector. And the chart says GCEI will be climbing towards the top of this sector.
