Thats an 81% increase in the float in 53 trading days (not counting holidays)
For those that want to confirm it, here's the TA info. You need to call your broker to make the call for you. I would suggest that you don't over load the TA with a bunch of calls. The best thing is to have someone call there broker every couple weeks and have them call the TA to see if the numbers are increasing. If you get different numbers post them.

Ty the float is above 74 mil it is 76 million.
At what point is an increase in Float or OS something to be concerned?
What number?
What number gain in 3 month period?
What percent gain in 3 month period should newbie shareholders be concerned about the D word?
Please post your response so there everyone is clear on what constitutes the D word.
Titan let's talk about the 34 million increase in the Float not the OS. Try to explain that in terms of restricted shares. You can't
titan if OTC markets is where you go for your dd go for it. The info on there is widely old and outdated. I've said before OTC markets is good if you want to find out how many r/s and remorphs along with the contact of the TA. Other than that take it with a grain of salt because the info is not up to date.
There is clearly something wrong here. Every discussion of the Float and the increase in Float of EDXC gets deleted as off topic. Why don't you post the updated numbers reflecting the 34mil (81%) increase in float in 53 trading days on the intro. This is vitally important information to the shareholders. The pr about the POS system only talks about 10 mil shares and those being restricted. Restricted shares do not increase the float, only unrestricted shares increase the float.
Titan what information or you looking for? If you think you are shocking us by telling us that HSCC management is cheap, all I can say is before you decide to buy HSCC you are going to have to come up with a better compliment than that for the CEO. We all know what a cheap azz he is. The info you are looking for is right on the investor page. No need to to go to the scam site OTC.
I'll tell you what I'll cut and paste your posts and send them to the CEO so maybe he can answer why he doesn't pay OTC markets $4700 a year to keep a stop sign off.

titan isn't this the EDXC board. Aren't you supposed to talk about EDXC? On the subject of something to hide why hasn't the share structure been updated here on I Hub board. The OS and Float have increased significantly since the 12/31/12 reported numbers. The TA reported numbers are the most accurate and current numbers. Don't you want the shareholders and prospective shareholders to know that most crucial information. What are you hiding if for?
That works both ways what happens when the dilution hits it?

sup I don't see the part about sense and mmj did they pull it off? If the answer is yes then I'd say you hit the nail on the head.
John7777 I went back thru the post and found Fagras email from the bid. Looks like he is Spokane WA based. Send him an email and ask him wtf they are doing for follow up with the bid.

The money will be made in the compliance and security contracts not the RFP bid. I suspect the Fagras guy has and is making lots of political and insider contacts in the MMJ industry in WA. Judging from the video of him I get the feeling he's going after that stuff you mentioned.

rb317 no I don't have copy of HSC RFP Bid. I guess we could ask for it but I'm not sure they would want to give that out. Looking at the BOTEC bid I think it would be hard for a small company to compete. Obviously the companies involved aren't doing this for money as much as the recognition and political reasons.
Yes EDXC is down 40% from the .105 breakout level but no from .09 I sold EDXC at. It will down 40% when it reaches .054 which looking at level II could be as early as tomorrow. On the chart the lows of .055 from early March are the next logical level to test on the way to the 50ma. At some point there will be a bounce play.

EDXC I sold it at .09 a week or so ago. Why did I sell it? Because the breakout above .10 fell flat on its face. If a trade isn't going the way you planned then get out. The chart told me that and the share structure check confirmed what I saw in the chart. That was enough for me. Level II show 35k between .06 and .04 on the bid. That's not much. EDXC is up several 1000% from .0015 where it was a few weeks ago. Do I need to say more? Be careful
EDXC chart in correction mode looking a bit shakey. As far as it ran so fast it could easily be expected to retest the 50ma and maybe lower. If it breaks the .04 support the next support would be about .016-.02 just about where the 200ma is. Could be a good bounce play. What do you guys think?

T DOG HSCC is low float 60% of which is owned by about 10 guys. No dilution the only non -diluted pot stock there is.
HSCC has a lot of good things and one not so good. It has a boat attached to it that keeps it from going anywhere.
I tell you what you give us 3 good reasons why the CEO should remain in charge at HSCC and I'll recommend you buy it. If you can't do that then I'd say its best to stay away. You have one more post today to give us 3 good reasons.
T Dog I got your T Dog2 message about the WA RFP announcement on the MJNA board. There was and is no post on that board about the RFP. Just cut it and paste it so we can see it.
I know that. We all are a bit pissed that this continues to languish when it shouldn't be. You got Dave S in charge writing lame prs that tank the stock every time he opens his pr mouth. UGHHH! You guys go ahead and answer those question just for discussion if no other reason.
scoopx ONYX is still around ONYX and HSCC bid on a surveillance contract in the Mid East to put surveillance systems in 6 cites that grew into 10 in 3 different countries. Each area wide network would utilize 60,000 - 100,000 cameras. The cost was is 2-3.5 billion dollars. It all go put on hold after the uprisings in Egypt spread to other parts of the Mid East. That's all I know
Crane cam was the rage back in the day, You couldn't shake a stick without hitting a pink doing crane safety. Are you guys joking HSCC was the only people talking about crane cams. Whats really funny is they actually have working crane cams at Alcoa plant. HSCC has spent a lot of time and money working on that system over the last 5-7 years. I know its seems like its taking them FOREVER to do it.
It's right on their website They call it Advanced Crane Payload Surveillance System (ACPSS)
The system today is not the system from 3 years ago just read it.
http://www.hscsurveillance.com/Crane-Video-System.html
75 pinks now that specialize in security for mmj growers and sellers. Are you for real Go ahead and list them. I'll do the first one for you,and while compile a list of all the MMJ/MJ stock plays so we can track how they are doing and play the best ones. Just bold the compliance and security plays.
1. HSCC
HSCC has been in the MMJ field for about 4 years without talking about it. Gary lived in Colorado
While in Colorado Gary started mmjcompliance with another guy. Here's the website http://www.mmjcomplianceservices.com/ Tell what looks familiar on that site
It is a successful business. Gary knows his shizz when it comes to surveillance systems and mmj compliance which is 24/7 surveillance of everything from the seed to the sale.
Thats a big part of the reason HSCC financials are so lean from the last 3 years. Gary's been gone. The other reason is Dave Shade had a knee replacement surgery that resulted in complications that damn near killed him. Too bad it didn't we wouldn't have to endure any of his pr's if it had. lol
Scoopz I asked you to connect the dots you haven't done the best job.
Why would any company that hasn't put out financials all of a sudden put out the 3 leanest years of their existence?
What did yesterdays pathetic pr say about revenue?
116 bidders in WA state RFP we were lucky that HSCC was there.
That guy on the News video, he doesn't work for HSCC
Who do you think he works for?
POTBOX HSCC advanced biometric POT VENDING machines coming to a Walmart and McDonalds near you? Its all right here in the pr. I've been reading HSC pr's for years and I can read between the lines. Is the POTBOX under development right now? When will the 1st prototype be available? POTBOX will eliminate the long wait lines at the pot shops.

Medical marijuana: Colorado's tight regulation offers one potential model for Oregon
By Noelle Crombie, The Oregonian
on March 15, 2013 at 4:33 PM, updated March 16, 2013 at 5:38 PM
DENVER, Colo. -- State enforcement officers can inspect John Fritzel's business without warning or permission. They can pore over his books, check his $50,000 security system and add up his inventory. Before Fritzel set up shop in 2011, investigators checked the Iowa native's background and dug into his finances.
No fewer than four city agencies inspected Fritzel's business, Lightshade Labs, before he opened. The state has visited five times.
Welcome to medical marijuana, Colorado-style.
Though medical marijuana is legal in 18 states and Washington, D.C., none regulates the business of medical marijuana more tightly than Colorado, which collected $5.4 million in sales taxes last year from the industry.
In Oregon, medical marijuana patients may grow their own cannabis or have someone do it for them, at or below cost. Retail businesses, though numerous, occupy a gray area of state law. No one inspects grow sites or regulates dispensaries, much less audits their books.
Colorado allows commercial production of medical marijuana and monitors it at every stage: from large-scale cultivation facilities, to makers of marijuana-infused foods, to the 500 retail outlets where the drug is sold. The seed-to-sale monitoring system is seen as a model for how to regulate recreational marijuana, which Colorado voters approved last November.
As Oregon lawmakers weigh whether and how to regulate access to medical marijuana, Colorado's experiment offers one potential road map for navigating an industry as complex and controversial as cannabis.
"Colorado has no peer at the moment regarding a regulated cannabis system," said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the country's oldest marijuana legalization organization.
Medical Marijuana
Continuing coverage of medical marijuana by The Oregonian's Noelle Crombie.
Many people in the business of supplying medical marijuana to patients say they're happy to follow Colorado's strict standards, seeing compliance as a mark of legitimacy. But the system has its limitations.
A top official with the state's medical marijuana enforcement division, charged with ensuring compliance with 72 pages of state rules, said his agency is underfunded and overwhelmed.
Colorado's highly regulated production and distribution system hasn't eliminated a problem documented in The Oregonian's 2012 investigation of medical marijuana in Oregon: diversion to the black market. A federal survey last year found 70 instances of Colorado medical marijuana trafficked to nearly two dozen states around the country in 2011 and early 2012.
Ernie Martinez, president of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association, said the state "is doing what they can with what they have," but it's not enough.
"As it is now," Martinez said, "it's an honor system essentially."
Farm to table
Lightshade Labs, a dispensary in an industrial area of Denver that serves as many as 250 people a day, bustled on a recent morning.
Once customers with state-issued medical marijuana cards check in with a receptionist, they step into a waiting room. It's similar to a doctor's office, except the walls feature posters promoting the vintage pulp novel "Marijuana Girl" and the Cheech and Chong film "Up in Smoke."
A half-dozen men in their 20s wait to be called into a room where they will meet with a "budtender," the person who helps patients choose the strain and form of marijuana they'll buy.
Clear boxes contain packaged marijuana, candies, marijuana oil, baked goods with names such as Chronic Crispies and hundreds of rolled joints. Hip-hop plays. SportsCenter flickers on a 50-inch screen over a counter that looks like a bar. Patrons peruse the strains, place orders and walk to another counter where their marijuana is placed in white bags with the words, "Your drug store."
Labels on each package show the operator's license number, the gross weight, the batch number and products used in the plant's cultivation and processing.
"It's like a nutritional label on a Snickers bar, if you will," said Fritzel. "You know exactly what was used on it."
State is watching
In 2010, in response to a proliferation of medical marijuana dispensaries, the Colorado Legislature created a first-of-its-kind, for-profit dispensary system. The state Department of Revenue, which also regulates gambling, liquor and tobacco, oversees the system.
Lightshade Labs is required to produce 70 percent of the marijuana it sells. The retail outlet shares space with a big indoor marijuana farm where the temperature hovers between 74 and 78 degrees and the tap water is purified.
The facility's electrical bill totals as much as $11,000 a month.
Fritzel and his two business partners, all former real estate developers, serve 1,000 patients.
The state vets not only prospective owners of commercial medical marijuana operations but also their sources of financing. Security cameras must monitor every step of production.
Each of the estimated 2,000 plants at Fritzel's grow site is assigned a code as soon as it's taken as a cutting from a mature plant. The code follows the cannabis as it grows and is harvested, dried, trimmed and sold. Its movements and weight are recorded in the company's inventory database up to five times before it reaches a patient.
Fritzel said he's happy to follow the state's rules.
"It works for us," Fritzel said. "Colorado's model is regarded as the best in the world. We feel if we can comply here with all the standards, we can do it anywhere."
He wouldn't talk revenues but he said he's considering full health benefits for his 54 employees.
"I have two kids, a 6- and an 8-year-old," he said. "I'm a normal guy. I don't even smoke."
A sign on the door of one of Lightshade Labs' grow rooms reminds employees that the state is watching: "Help us stay in compliance."
Waiting for inspectors
Many owners of Colorado marijuana businesses are eager to show off their operations to regulators, believing that following state law helps ward off federal interference. Yet many are still waiting for the opportunity.
"We are really hoping they come soon," said Nick Hice, an owner of Denver Relief, a retail medical marijuana center and grow site.
Hice proudly shows visitors the business's casino-quality surveillance cameras, its sophisticated water filtration system and the tidy room where marijuana flowers are drying on white hangers. Like many centers in Colorado, Hice's still hasn't received its state license but can operate because his application is on file.
Hice said state regulators came by a year and a half ago at his invitation, but it wasn't an official inspection. He said they have not been back since.
"We do everything we possibly can to be professional and responsible," said Hice.
Colorado officials acknowledge they are behind. They blame the growing pains of regulating medical marijuana on an unprecedented scale.
A "skeleton crew"
Colorado's medical marijuana enforcement division was envisioned as an agency with about 40 sworn officers, said Marco Vasquez, chief of investigations for the agency. Today, Vasquez said, the enforcement division has a "skeleton crew" of nine officers because fees from applications and licensing slowed from an initial $8.6 million to $3.8 million last fiscal year.
Vasquez, who retired from the agency March 8, took a three-month furlough last year to save the state money.
"This had never been done before," he said. "We didn't have any lessons learned from other states. It was, 'Holy cow! We're running out of money.'"
Other factors have slowed the approval process as well.
Medical marijuana businesses receive local approval before the state signs off, and local licensing has gone more slowly than expected.
Meanwhile, requiring medical marijuana centers to be aligned with growers brought unintended consequences. People experienced in growing marijuana paired up with entrepreneurs from other backgrounds. Many relationships fizzled.
"As soon as we completed a background investigation -- here were the partners, here's where the funding came from -- there was a change in ownership, and we basically had to start all over again," said Vasquez. "It became very, very labor intensive for us to keep up with all those business relationships."
Though 800 medical marijuana centers submitted state applications in 2011, 300 were either denied or withdrawn.
Is it working?
Colorado law enforcement officials say short staffing means the regulatory system lacks teeth. They also say giving the medical marijuana industry state blessing has brought the drug into the mainstream.
Martinez, the head of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association and a Denver police lieutenant, worries that the market of marijuana-infused edibles, including candies and sodas, entices young people to use the drug.
Colorado still allows the home cultivation of medical marijuana, and those residential grows remain a common source of complaints from residents as well as targets of theft, burglaries and assaults.
Drug detectives are investigating at least one medical marijuana center's potential ties to organized crime, Martinez said.
But Matt Cook, a medical marijuana regulatory consultant, said regulations promote responsible practices.
Cook, a former state regulator and medical marijuana enforcement official who drafted the rules for marijuana businesses, said he drew on concepts familiar to other highly regulated enterprises.
"There's nothing magical about it," said Cook. "In Colorado the regulatory provisions have a little dog and horse racing in them, they have a little gaming in them, they have a little alcohol and beverage enforcement in them and a little tobacco enforcement in them."
Though marijuana is illegal under federal law, Cook noted, federal law enforcement has generally left large-scale state-licensed growers and dispensaries alone.
"I think that speaks volumes to what is going on here," Cook said.

scoopz connect the dots in the pr and tells us what is happening
Greg found this article about WA RFP delays
http://crosscut.com/2013/03/11/olympia-2013/113384/pot-legalization-work-running-delays/
hottest market sector in 2013
As of March 11, 2013, SKTO has changed its business model
to focus purely in the Medical Marijuana Space.
What were they last month or the month before that? Wonder how long they will be focused on MMJ?
Here's graph of top ten the numbers are changing all the time. Sup just got added to the chart kicking Picaso off with 1 million shares.
http://www.hsccboyzclub.com/HSCC_Stock_Info.php
Sometime in March could be any day now. This week seems like the logical time frame
Security is a vital part of MJ industry because its a 100% cash business. That is part of HSCC role. The website has some good info on Compliance. Compliance is what insures the states keep track of ever single seed to plant to sale. The key to compliance is 24/7 surveillance of every part of the industry. Read the following web page it has some good info.
http://www.homelandsecuritycorporation.com/mmj/
Papa Bear HSCC is the exact opposite of everything you have ever seen in Diluted POS penny stocks. Dilution creates the incentive to be first to sell. Non dilutive creates the incentive to be first to buy. The Top Ten HSCC shareholders have accumulated millions of shares over the last 5 years. Some have averages below a penny a share. This was a very slow process. That was step one. Step one accumulation continues.
Step Two put value into the company
RFP in WA Any part of that contract will put huge value into the company.
Step Three Major Media Coverage. Any part of the RFP will result in Major Media Coverage.
Many more states will be looking to legalize pot. HSCC and the consultants will be there to help them thru the process.
Like I said before the incentive is to be the first to buy.
The next million shares will cost about $40,000. That leaves about 22 mil that the Boyzclub don't own. The next million after that will cost about $55,000-$60,000. The price above.07 will increase rapidly. The focus is not short term. This is a long term investment.
You have only one Pot stock that is non-dilutive. This is it. I don't know about you but I rest better knowing some scumbag isn't going to dump 20 million shares into the float in the next 30 days.
If the HSCC gets any part of the RFP that next million shares will cost much more than $40,000.
Just what does the "HSCC OTC Pink No Information STOP sign" mean? Does it mean the companies that have a stop sign don't publish financial information, like up to date AS, OS, Float, share structure, financials? No not at all it just means they didn't pay the OTC Markets.com $4700 to prevent them from putting up a stop sign.
OTC Markets uses this to more or less bully $4200 a year from these companies. If a company sent all the current financial information to OTC Markets but didn't pay them $4200 plus $500 set up fee. (must be very difficult to cut and paste information) they would get the stop sign and all the warnings and the info would not be posted.
To the novice investor that has weak DD skills this is about as far as they look. They don't even take the time to read the terms of OTC Markets. Here they are.

OTC Markets formerly Pinksheets.com is the last place I go for information because it is normally not very accurate, out of date. The Share structure on over 90% of the companies on that site is way off.
OTC website is good for one thing seeing how many r/s splits, remorphs, and changes of business plan. Along with that the contact information on the TA. Other than that everything on the site should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
If a company sends the same information to Yahoo they will update the finance page free of charge. Yahoo finance is the first place many people go to get a view of a company. If the info is there. There is absolutely no reason to go to OTCMarkets unless you want to know how long since the last r/s and what was the company pretending to sell in its former life.
Some people might go as far as to say they are scamming the companies out of $4700 a year to prevent the Scary Stop Sign from scaring novice bagholder investors away.
Read the fine print next time
If HSCC gets any part of that contract it will be Nation Wide media coverage. There is no dilution of the share structure. The float is sucked up and locked down. The next phase is contracts. Put value into the company and the stock has no where to go but up. This is the exact opposite of every penny stock. All the other penny stocks focus on taking value out of the company. Dilution in those companies create the incentive to be first to sell. HSCC non diluted share structure puts it in a unique position.
It creates the incentive to be first to buy. Those that buy first have the most to gain because the supply of shares get smaller. As you put more value into the company the demand for those shares will increase.
That in a nutshell is what is happening
