NEWS! ******NEW RED FLAGS EXPOSED******
Re Nevada property "purchase":
• DEED SAYS CONSIDERATION OF *TEN DOLLARS.
• PRESS RELEASE SAYS CONSIDERATION OF *THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.
TRTC told shareholders that $344,000 of THEIR money was spent on purchasing property that OFFICIAL RECORDS indicate they only paid TEN DOLLARS for.

This is an unbelievably startling red flag, and JUST THE BEGINNING.
The fact that I'm the only one to have ever pointed this out is just more undeniable evidence proving this stock's status as THE BAGHOLDER STOCK OF THE CANNABIS SECTOR.
So hard to believe folks actually fall for this pennystock "investing" nonsense.
As we suggested after alerting the closure of our long term position at $1.39, TRTC is obviously TOXIC to shareholders.
Our level of accuracy continues to go unmatched, folks. Be wary of the fabricated hype that continues to dominate the story of this BAGHOLDER STOCK.
CONSUME INFORMATION WISELY
This stock is the worst. The never-ending supply of fabricated hype is illustrative of this stock's status as THE bagholder stock of the cannabis sector.
There is no one left clueless enough to fall for it. Sorry folks.

Be careful folks. Red flags have really started to pile up.
A few of his most successful pump and dump creations include: http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/PeopleFilingResults.aspx?PersonID=3041188&PersonName=THOMAS%20E.%20PUZZO
All of these promotions resulted in shareholder losses of at least 90%. Puzzo followed a similar pattern to set up the shell that eventually became TRTC (with his involvement beginning in as early as 2008).
It was originally a company called Private Secretary with the symbol PVST. And the pattern was so clear that it would be a future promotion, an internet researcher using the alias ‘nodummy’ identified it in December of 2011 with these comments: “Here is another shell to keep an eye on in the future because it follows some similar patterns with NSRS and RAYS: Private Secretary, Inc (PVST). If you see a change in CEO and a name change/acquisition done by the PVST shell then the paid promotion shouldn’t be too far behind.”

lol That doesn't make even the slightest bit of sense.
Why is it that EVERY post meant to defend or promote this company turns out to be comprised of blatant fabrications and/or gross inaccuracies?
Could this unfortunate condition be the product of TRTC's status as the worst bagholder stock in the sector?
Looks to be the case.
Be careful folks. Don't get trapped.
Again - I'm not trapped with a position at a huge loss, so dismissing this discrepancy doesn't do me any good.
The fact that TRTC told shareholders that $340k+ of their funds went to purchase a piece of property that official records indicate they only paid $10 for is troubling...ESPECIALLY considering the suspicious nature of the ENTIRE proposed NV operation, and the fact that shareholders are only attributable to 55% of said operations.
I might feel differently it I was holding shares from June 2014....but I'm not...so I'll stick with reality.
lol I don't own shares expensive enough to warrant similar dismissal of the question as to why it was indicated to shareholders that they paid hundreds of thousands for something official records indicate they only paid $10 for....
...so it's not that simple for me. And apparently TRTC's new pump & dump IR firm wants no part in answering this question either...
On that note - has anyone had any success getting KSCA to communicate with them about TRTC yet? So far it's like they'd rather ignore their association with this pump & dump altogether. Weird.
Probably once DP et al. run out of shareholder dollars to roll up with...
Won't be long...
When all else fails, simply write "false," paste something random, and hope no one is paying attention. Right? lol
Worst bagholder stock in the sector.
lol Nice copy/paste but it has nothing to do with the FACT that TRTC indicated in a press release that they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for something that official records indicate they only paid $10 for.

lol Bagholder stock.
lol IVXX could do $10MM in PROFITS next year and the stock would STILL be overvalued at .11. $10MM revenue is NOTHING.
Can't help but feel bad for the folks that followed the 420Investor service's "recommendation" to go long at .53.
So much fabricated nonsense hype...but the worst part is that even if all those fabrications were actually true, the stock would STILL be way overvalued.
TRTC is not setup to benefit common stock investors. That's why there's no new interest and only bagholder interest.

TRTC didn't up-list. They simply paid the $20,000 fee to OTC Markets Group for a TIER CHANGE.
"Up-listing" refers to a move FROM the OTC marketplace to another exchange, namely NASDAQ or NYSE, not a move WITHIN the OTC marketplace.
Cheers.

MUST-READ CONTENT (See below)
I think the post below does a great job exposing a few of the reasons why TRTC is regarded as one of the absolute worst stocks for shareholders. Remember folks, TRTC is the biggest bagholder stock in the sector....accordingly, it is subject to constant fabricated hype.
Don't be fooled.
Don't get trapped.
CONSUME INFORMATION WISELY.
Don't expect a response to these EXTREMELY IMPORTANT questions. It's not in KSCA's best interest to do-so. That said, GREAT points...
[quote"Still no response to my KSCA email. Still no call back. Below is the email sent:
"Hello,
I'm an investor in TRTC and have quite a few questions that I hope that you can help answer. I'd love be a larger part of TRTC, but cant wrap my head around the following questions:
1.) Why is TRTC retaining Thomas Puzzo as their lawyer? This man is associated with many past and present pump and dump schemes. Doesn't this make TRTC look like another one of his schemes?
2.) Michael James is on the board of directors part time for CFO for TRTC, while being a part time CEO for NRTI. How is this fair to TRTC? Also on this subject, Michael James has been given $500,000 bonuses time and time again without explaining to shareholders why.. This partnership is seriously affecting the investment community's outlook on TRTC.
3.) James' company has repeatedly PR'd about a partnership with NRTI for a product called Nuleif. Nuleif was PR'd by James company saying that it's available in Derek Peterson's private dispensary "Blum" in Oakland. I've stopped by the store and seen no such evidence, even the day of the PR. Since then, no one at the store seems to know what the product is, or even if it exists. Was this all a scam? Slight of hand?
4.) What happened to GrowMASS? We had funding in place to expand that, and it just disappeared into thin air.
5.) Does GrowOp make any revenue at all? Why is it still a part of TRTC if not? I see EG reports, IVXX reports, but nothing coming from selling lights and equipment via GrowOp. Is this still a part of the company?
6.) New buildout progress - We've had eyes on the ground that continue to say that construction hasn't budged on TRTC's Western Ave Dispensary location in Las Vegas. We were told we would get many updates about this, yet we haven't heard a word. Is this still happening? Whats the hold up?
7.) How is TRTC going to get around the 3 year residency requirement for all officers, when the VV family and other officers of TRTC are not CA residents, as well as IVXX being a Nevada LLC. Will AB266 affect TRTC negatively because of these requirements?
8.) Why is TRTC continuing to buy product from Blum, to repackage, and sell back to Blum and others? This seems like a way to make DP and employees large amounts of revenue through their private entity. The Shareholders don't seem to benefit here at all. How much are we paying BLUM for product? It seems a bit out of line with the interests of the shareholders here.
9.) What happened to the NB plants acquisition? We were told time and time again that it was coming, and would help EG become MUCH MUCH MUCH more profitable. Why hasnt this happened, and why haven't we received an update about it? Is this still happening?"
If I was just clinging to the hope that one day I'd recover losses from my position at .60+, it would be easier for me to ignore the questions this issue raises...but that's not the position I'M in...so to me, it just looks like shareholders are YET AGAIN getting ripped off.
but what do I know right?!
lol The document is barely three pages long. No one said anything about transfer tax because it's irrelevant. We're talking about why the PR said they paid $344k for something that official records indicate they only paid $10 for.
Transfer tax is imposed on any conveyance to the degree determined by the property's tax assessment value. It is irrelevant insofar as we're concerned with what TRTC did or did not pay for the property in question.
lol This stuff isn't complicated folks.
BAGHOLDER STOCK
WRONG.
This isn't complicated.

PRESS RELEASE SAYS CONSIDERATION OF THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.

So hard to believe folks actually fall for this pennystock "investing" nonsense. TRTC is THE WORST.

VERY Interesting!:
Anyone care to discuss why the GB&S Deed indicates TRTC actually ONLY PAID $10 (yes, TEN DOLLARS) for the property they claim to have cost shareholders $344k?!
•••S H A D Y•••
During the third quarter 2015, the Company acquired two acres of land in Spanish Springs, Nevada for total consideration of $344,124.
Folks already know I'm accurate, so although it wasn't necessary - I still appreciate the added info supporting my previous post.
Cheers.
100% Fabricated:
Some accredited types have positions and have been adding.
Look at how this company is set up!
Dilution will never be "done."
It will always be the principle driving force behind pps. It's the reason they listed the stock!
They aren't even that sneaky about this being the case (Thomas Puzzo...hello!) - investors just ignore the reality and refuse to read/UNDERSTAND the filings.
That doesn't even make sense.

420INVESTOR SERVICE FAILS YET AGAIN
Based on the "target of 4.20" I think it's safe to say the 420Investor service got a little too excited about last week's price action.
"Target of $4.20" ???? lol
Quite the professional organization they're running over there with their hyping of a technically arbitrary yet willfully superficial target of FOUR TWENTY. lol Not clever, not cool, and routinely innaccurate.
It's laughable indeed.
To be a dentist you have to have a doctorate degree in Dental Medicine or Dental Surgery.
Figured that was common knowledge...but nothing surprises me around here anymore.

lol It will be a damn shame to start off this so called "acquisition" with the SEC investigation and criminal charges that are sure to follow based on that post.

Lower.
lol We've heard ramblings of this so-called "acquisition" that is "about to be announced" for LITERALLY 18 months...
Looks to me like the same type of fabricated hype that's been the sole basis for the long perspective since we exited our long term position at $1.39.
As a matter of fact, I remember being told that our exit was a "huge mistake" specifically because there was about to be an "acquisition" announced. That was over a year ago...and still no acquisition (of course) and pps has since plummeted 90%.
Some "mistake" that was!
Be careful with these bagholder stocks folks. CONSUME INFORMATION WISELY.
The article included outside sources from which the reader can easily verify any content they find to be of questionable nature.
That said - that article is certainly not the only source that substantiates Puzzo's purported status as a "serial pump & dump attorney." Not sure? Just google Thomas Puzzo and Pump & Dump.
