You've had it 4 and I've had it for 2.
I like a good story, what makes you stay?
It's like those spouses who hold tight in an abusive marriage with fear of leaving. You know angel is just going to beat investors to a pulp and remove the same money from them that he did from you and I.
Why stay?
Doesn't matter to me, I'm down 99.8% until this Miami based fraud center changes hands to adequate leadership. Kiss whatever you put in here goodbye for a while.
LOL UP 100%
Look at the surge in 'healthy eating' chains or see how chipotle did. Zoe's has something that the others do not.
While it's not all out health nut, it has many healthy options and their food is great.
The downside is it has been putting mom and pop Mediterranean places out of business, but that's not so bad considering the upside for Zoe's from that.
I'll patiently watch as angel gets carted off to the slammer.
Checking in, more money down the drain.
Rich get richer, and the vile person running this scheme is somehow allowed to walk as a free man.
Or in my case, those who have taken a 99% loss and have no reason to sell for peanuts on the dollar.
Perhaps it's a new low and we'll see it shoot up like a star.
More likely this will flounder down to even more worthless values.
Sticking your neck out for any stock is risky no matter what. Did he not have disclaimers?
Also, no mention of moneyrunners and their leader who was arrested and suspected as primary culprit in the suspension?
For a guy who spent many months slamming this stock, it's interesting to watch you linger.
Most of us in phots prime watched our investment go from .05 to .70+. Those who continued the ride such as myself were left with a rather disappointing gather compared to what we could have had, but can you really be mad still making 5x your money?
I couldn't be, but it's cool to see some still fighting the good angsty fight.
I know others have already refuted this statement, but it is incorrect.
Some people learn by experience and some by schooling, but you can't just jump in with 'the right seed and nutrients' and hope for the best.
Takes a trained eye my friend.
Websites are still up and running. Stores are still open and selling.
At least they're turning a profit.
Yup, at this point with new leadership the silence will be the ultimate killer.
Least they could do is tell shareholders in a vague way what they are attempting to accomplish.
The image we have currently is of a few big execs kicking their feet back on the desk and lounging sipping on their Arnold palmers and waiting for tee time.
Those of you who were here remember me as an ardent supporter of the company and business. While I still support the idea of investing in the equipment suppliers, how can I back up a silent leadership?
Issue a statement, a plan, anything. Reminding people helping to pay your bills that you're working hard on their behalf is NEVER a bad move.
Basically unless you were a big fish with a lot of shares - don't expect much if any return from this at all.
Those still holding or the prime shareholders with the highest amount of stock will be the first to see any sort of compensation. Small fish won't.
Sorry to everyone who will be stuck in here during the fall.
I wish you luck.
I agree, sad that even suspended stocks can trade higher than real money makers.
Must be conspiracy.
Nothing at the SEC to keep them from having offshore accounts to short the stocks they suspend.
If CANN did it, other companies can as well.
If stocks are doing well - people come out of the woodwork to write articles on why they shouldn't be doing well.
Seeking alpha is an example of how journalism and analytics can be used to manipulate the public to the writer's perspective.
Growlife also suffered a similar fate. Guys who missed the boat on that one pummeled that company every day with short articles until the sec suspended them too.
I tried to explain this in similar fashion.
The villagers chased me out of town with their torches.
Or rather a group of pump posters controlled by one entity.
Very interesting how you can artificially create what looks like interest and create a whirlpool that sucks other innocents in.
Sorry guys!
Great company! They take my money and make it theirs.
So happy they're using my hard earned money to..... Continue selling their stock at discount prices...?
Another stock that has lost so much value it isn't even worth selling. I'm super pumped!
It is possible. CANN is back after being suspended in similar fashion.
Law suits settled. I wouldn't mind if they sentence sterling to prison and reinstate phot on the pinks.
Still the best Mj equipment play there ever was, not one company came to fill its shoes.
Also despite a downward spiral in the Mj sector, phot has held between .02 and .05. Not bad at all considering everyone else out there.
I'd certainly invest in phot again so long as their leadership appealed to investor security and continued previous growth.
It came under fire as a scam, but is actually one of the most legitimate Mj equipment companies out there - was just run under poor leadership.
Whoa whoa whoa, why did people buy in at .18? Buying at the top of a good trading day is never a good idea. You can't blame the company for trader mistakes IMHO.
Do I think it has upside past .18? Most likely, but I understand how it's hard to be patient when you're down.
Have to read the substance, not just the title.
It's good progress IMO. Most of us made at least 4x the investment. Boohoo that we didn't make 20x though.
Might be the start of something wonderful.
Amazing, their progressing quickly and have caught many off guard.
Really good pick this one. Turning into a very reliable and strong vapor stock.
As far as I can tell, they're still selling product and sites like greners.com continue to sell equipment. They also frequently update greners and have been improving mobile access. GIFT programs are a mystery to me right now. Many speculated the fitx GIFT deal fell through due to inconsistencies with PHOT, but it turns out fitx was the scam and problem all along.
So I don't know anything of current GIFT deals.
Still bewildering to me how badly growlife's former leadership failed us. so much equipment they have and sell. A company that was actually a more legitimate play on the legal side of the industry - not some fickle play to sell hempseed soda or kush cakes they wouldn't even be able to claim on their earnings.
One of sterling's last announcements was some childish jab about how his estranged wife had been selling shares and that could have set off the SEC alarms. It was probably their least professional PR and a nail in the coffin.
There hasn't been any other big Mj equipment play since this suspension. Probably why we still see intermittent interest. Everyone else is selling cheap tools or drinks related to the Mj industry - never mind the ones saying they can sell actual product when they can't claim the earnings.
Highly disappointing more like.
Would love to see it move, that's for sure.
Nothing like looking at a 98% loss you could have avoided. At this point - no reason to sell. Shares that could once buy a deluxe vacation can now barely afford a drive-thru meal.
It would be nice to start making money here instead of watching it bleed away.
Where are the executives in charge and will they come through?
At one point this company was a mover and shaker - a serious entity trucking towards owning a huge chunk of the market. In the time I was here we saw a rise from .05 to around the .80 area. Those were big bucks for anyone who threw in a significant block of money.
Rob Hunt and Sterling Scott have since departed and are two heads of the same snake as far as shareholders are concerned.
Now the company is left with Marco Hegyi at its helm. An accomplished man surely, but also a man who has been given no gift of a company. Two relative juveniles lit this one ablaze with gasoline and are nowhere to be found on any social media or scale. They likely have heads buried in the sand with a mojito in hand.
At least Hegyi keeps his linked in account active.
Two problems still loom for PHOT in terms of market classification and financing. The first problem is also the likely cause for delinquency on filings.
Despite all dilemmas - I understand PHOT still has their tangible assets and could one day make something of themselves as a large scale company. Unfortunately, it's a long shot for them doing that in terms of being publicly traded and it's doubtful any bigger dogs want to pick this company up with such serious debt.
Still, everyone loves a comeback story and its up to the people who inherited this problem child to decide if he sinks or swims.
Good luck to all, even if I've long since bailed.
Yah, I feel like people are pulling out of the other failing vaporizer companies and putting in here.
Not sure you can keep this one down. Could bvap mean best vaporizer? We'll know soon.
Really interesting action here today.
Showing a whole ton of promise. Big question is will it pan out?
Heh, I've spent 70-some weeks in RIGH - none of which have been exciting.
I'd almost pay for some excitement at this point.
Then this news is even more sad than I originally thought. Uplisting to the OTC? LOL gotta be kidding me.
Becoming 'fully reporting' does not mean an uplisting is imminent.
It just means that they're doing something they should have done from the get go and become 'fully reporting to the SEC'.
A little too little too late IMO.
Unfortunately to hit the price they'd need to uplist, a reverse split (or several) or a miracle would need to happen with the pps.
Queue the tower of terror ride, it's going to be a long drop when all is said and done.
And to think, people called me crazy last week for saying we'd see these prices.
Kind of curious if you've been here for 3 long years and seen the price this whole time - why you stay?
I have practically worthless shares bought 2 years ago. Price action is literally terrible unless you just play it on a .0000000001 raise.
They sure do a good job at shutting down companies with shady marketing schemes, that's for sure!
Hmm last year's big winner ph#t was shut down similarly.
The SEC never came out and advised the market a direct reason, but rather outlined terms the company could have been in violation of.
Then that company came out and told the public it was 3rd party unsolicited advertising efforts they had nothing to do with.
Those guys are still suspended, though reports on all fronts never displayed the true reason - this is the extent of power the SEC has. This is also why I warn people to be very cautious.
For they too started the downward spiral with the skull and crossbones followed with a suspension. I told myself at that time I was confident in the company, nothing bad could be going on and all would be fine.
Boy was I wrong, but I understand how the lot still supporting this company feel.
A beverage play trying to combine the hype from the Mj/hemp sector is still something I can consider aligned with the Mj sector.
If this were just a beverage play, interest here would be zilch. Selling lemonade with a hemp leaf on the can is a big sign, despite the fact that an actual mixture of the two would taste terrible.
Many companies are trying to ride this new boom and thcz is doing no different. Their stock name also would note the Mj sector is their intended target.
Insanity at its best.
I'm surprised even after the skull and crossbones that the paid promoters for thcz continue to post with such vigor.
We'll have a run up until suspension so the shorters can take a pretty position when it plummets.
Market mechanics in the making. Watch and learn.
Ready to load the boat at .001 and ride it to .02!
If you had a source it would be posted.
This one had a quick and fun run up, but all this mindless pumping I'm watching is IMHO the biggest form of scamming people.
To say there are so many buys, and the stock has great upside during a time it is down 30% and has the skull and crossbones poised for an inevitable halt - that my friends is the true scam out there.
Regardless of of they are guilty of foul play or not, the prices and volume fall very flat during these times.
I honestly can't believe the audacity of some posts as to lure people in on a crashing stock.
