With all of that going on it sounds like TRTC might end up owning that whole VV operation up there in Jersey,at no charge!
No doubt,TRTC has always been VERY TRANSPARENT in what they do.They ACT like a big board stock even though they are OTC.That's one of the great things about this company.They are for real,NOT just a bunch of "forward looking statements" or ideas.Derek and company continue moving TRTC forward with REAL BUILDINGS,REAL GROW OPS,REAL DISPENSARIES,REAL PRODUCTS,REAL SALES,REAL EXPANSION.I don't need to see a bunch of bs fluff PR's coming out that have no substance,like a lot of these fake otc companies come out with.Tell me when something of substance happens,that's the news I want to hear.TRTC is a big board company lurking on the OTC.

KEYSTONE ????
True dat,AK.
It was probably that eight month old joint he bought from some competitor.The one that he keeps mentioning,months after the fact.Must still be smokin' it,IMHO.
Inside The Trump Administration’s Secret War On Weed--https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/trump-secret-committee-anti-marijuana--- More propaganda and LIES coming soon from a disgraceful excuse for the "leader" of the U.S..Come November, people had best get out and VOTE for representatives that speak for what the PEOPLE WANT in THEIR country.This path we're on grows darker by the day.
Absolute truth in what you say.The crew doing all the fear mongering and complaining are very transparent,looking to play their up and down gains of 10%."these guys are building a very solid foundation"-is the best description of TRTC.This is a quality,long term US mj play that will reap us believers some serious gains as the US mj market goes mainstream.This IS going to happen SOONER rather than later,as we now have 30 states on board.Fed legalization HAS TO HAPPEN,IMO.TRTC has cultivation growing as we speak which is going to greatly help out the bottom line.Well thought out and CONTROLLED EXPANSION CONTINUES.Beverage lines recently announced.Love the long term prospects for TRTC/BLUM.
This ALLEGED massive selling which you speak of SO FEARFULLY--THEN HOW COME THE PRICE IS MOVING LATERALLY with a volume of 700,000?????That does NOT point to "massive selling". Back under the bridge with you.
Nope,Buffalo NY area.It just feels like Alaska from Dec. til March.
It definitely all helps the bottom line at this time.But the REAL MONEY lies in LEGAL MJ.Until that happens,lettuce will help pay some bills.
Hmmmmm,I notice a newly regurgitated scare tactic referencing so-called B shares.EXCEPT THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO OF THEM IN ISSUANCE.That's right, ZERO.B shares,just like the Big Bad Wolf,simply DO NOT EXIST.Back under the bridge with those who are using that scare tactic.Or shall I say OUTRIGHT LIE ,to be truthful.
C'mon now,you make it sound like they're selling TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PRODUCT over at TRTC/BLUM.YET IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!Woo-Hoo!!
Meanwhile,here's some REAL INFO about TRTC,not scare tactics,simply truth.--From Derek on the CC--"A quick summary of the sales results, $8.7 million in top-line revenue for Q2. This was an 11% increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year and also as you read through you’ll see as promised prior, we’ve been focusing extensively on gross margin expansion. So, we’ve seen gross margin improvement over the same quarter in the prior year, but also over the same quarter – obviously, over the quarter – the prior quarter that we reported in Q1.
So in today’s call, I want to talk mainly about our investments and building out our infrastructure. We’ve made a meaningful progress since our last quarterly call, and as a reminder, we’re building a vertically-integrated seed-to-sale cannabis business that dominates key candidates markets within the U.S., focused primarily on California, Nevada and also in New Jersey. We’ve got our organic and locally grown produce, as you know back in New Jersey and we’re trying to leverage that asset, net infrastructure to go for the new New Jersey permits that are coming up here in a very short timeframe"---Yep, TRTC/BLUM keeps on expanding and,we can truly say at this time,GROWING.That's right, product is GROWING AS WE SPEAK.SOON to be approaching harvest time.How do you think that will help out the bottom line?I'd have to say -TREMENDOUSLY!!!! So many GREAT THINGS happening for TRTC/BLUM.--Grizz (NO BS-simply the truth)
It's not really dead until you sell it.Look at it as ZOMBIE money for now.Fear not ,it'll come back alive.
An excerpt from that article to confirm what some have been saying--"The shorts have been successfully pounding Terra Tech for some time, and it has resulted in the company getting hammered "OR this one-"and more recently be shorts that hammer the company, in some cases very dubiously, which has kept the company from gaining any traction."---yet the "boys under the bridge" will continually post here and deny any and all such efforts on their part.
You nailed it,that's their game.TRTC has accomplished so many great things the past couple of years--since TRUE state legalization began.But some have no interest in any of that positive information.It is either the short game or else flippers just talking it down ten percent,buying in, and then profiting when it goes up.I have neither the time nor the will to indulge in that game.Longs will be fine with TRTC,especially those who are just getting in now.As long as they don't get scared into selling when the goblins start to howl and the price drops a few cents.Way too many positives happening for TRTC to even waste time indulging those who live under the bridge.The beat goes on towards fed legalization and that will be the juggernaut.
I just gotta say that I'm amazed and amused with the daily effort by a handful of poo crew members to keep on continually posting misleading, debunked and plain old fake"news" regarding TRTC/BLUM in a non-stop effort to drive the price down so they can keep on trading it back and forth.REALITY SAYS TRTC/BLUM is very well positioned and will be a major player once legalization hits.AND IT IS COMING,NO DOUBT.Derek and company keep the growth and expansion ongoing for TRTC.The GROW OPERATION has been ongoing now for many weeks.We draw closer to harvest time as the days tick by.Keep in mind how that is going to help out TREMENDOUSLY with the bottom line once TRTC starts harvesting their HOME GROWN CROPS.And now BEVERAGES !Derek is a man with a plan,for sure.The longs here are going to be just fine.I just hate to see some folks get spooked into selling and losing money in this venture because of the goblins ranting about here.It's definitely a job for some,trying to steal your money.Hold tight folks and fear not the boogeymen lurking behind the keyboard.TRTC LONG and STRONG.
New moniker could be BUDZweiser.BUZZweiser?
I hear ya on that.Never met a free beer that I didn't like.
Once again Derek is movin' and shakin'.Always thinking ahead of the curve,never standing pat.I like that in my CEO.
I dunno about that.I've always felt that if I'm supposed to put a lime in my beer before I drink it,then I should be drinking a different beer.
It just makes sense.Then it truly will be "This BUD'S for you".I may actually start drinking some of that watered down "beer" they make.
And according to them I bet it was all DP's fault.LOL
I'd have to agree.Although this latest move seems "out of the blue" to most of us,judging from BP's post and pic from TRTC fb page, this partnership has been on Dereks mind since before May.Any branching out in the TRTC/BLUM/IVXX line is good business IMO.BUILD OUT THE BRAND.I love it.Once again DP is thinking ahead and looking down the road.He's got a fantastic vision AND A GREAT PLAN for TRTC/BLUM/IVXX,as far as I'm concerned.
link to tarukino website complimentsof BriarPatch--- http://tarukino.com/drink-vertus
The fact that this was put on the TRTC fb back in May says that it's a deal that DP has been working on for a while.Looks to me like a good product line to move some of the newly cultivated TRTC herb into.Harvest time is getting closer.Branching out the IVXX product line into the beverage industry certainly can't hurt.I see Tarukino is based in Washington state giving us entrance into another legal state mj market.DP continues building out TRTC/BLUM,gaining market share and increasing the product line.I know the pps is currently struggling,but that really is NOT a reflection on what TRTC/BLUM is accomplishing.Let's hope those smart folks down in Texas vote out that angry,power hungry white man Pete Sessions come November so that the mj industry can really start to flourish here in the good ol' USA.Tick,Tock Pete,your time is running out.
Obvious "typo".Let's not be so childish.Can you say MILLION??Sure ya can.
Uh-huh,"educated"-eh?Cuz really this is a brilliant,well thought out and "educated" statement from one of your boys--This thing is a turd.
Puma .Laughable,to say the least.
LOVE THE CALL.TRTC/BLUM and its leader Derek Peterson have there ducks in a row for sure.Building things up and out very nicely.Any doubters need to GO READ THE TRANSCRIPT of the call.I'm telling ya, DP knows what the hell he is doing.He's got a plan and continues to execute it day after day.Awesome,EXTREMELY EXCITED for our future.Folks need to PAY NO MIND to the poo crew posts from the jokers behind the curtain.They are shorters/traders looking for quick,small percentage turnovers.They're bashing of the company is simply NOT based in reality.Read the transcript from the guys in charge of TRTC/BLUM,then make up your own mind whether to invest in TRTC or not.I don't have time to be a day trader like the boys in the "crew".I've bought(and buying) and I'm holding my TRTC stock.I'm very confident it's gonna make me some money.Remember we are still in the VERY EARLY stages of this game here in the States,and TRTC has a GREAT PLAN and a leader with the vision and the smarts to make it all happen.The future is a very brightly colored GREEN for TRTC ,IMO.
I said I was running low but OK ,here's a handful of pellets for you---exactly how many US mj businesses are making a profit at this time? ? ? ?Please list the names and amount of profit reported at their last earnings report.(see, I've been taking pointers from mag-pie)
I find it very amusing how the same old attack dogs keep on spewing the same old nonsense on their anti-TRTC rants day after day after day.Truly foolish IMO,unless of course there are ulterior motives behind the relentless attacks.HMmmmmmm,whatever could they be?In the meantime,for the REALITY BASED folks around here,TRTC/BLUM simply keeps on humming along.YES they continue building out and acquiring properties.YES they have substantial grow operations functional RIGHT NOW.YES they have dispensaries currently selling products RIGHT NOW.YES they have huge revenues that are generating many tens of millions of dollars RIGHT NOW.YES they have built quite the mj operation in these United States,RIGHT HERE and RIGHT NOW.AND THEY ARE CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD RIGHT HERE,RIGHT NOWas we speak.Dog days of summer are upon us as the market waddles along.A little up, a little down.Ain't nothin' but a thang.Once we get rolling again this autumn y'all will be glad your holding some TRTC stock.Elections will be coming,more legalization will be happening and TRTC will be happily chugging along.For my money,there is NO better play to have and to hold than TRTC/BLUM.In the meantime folks,enjoy your summer.Great music,cold and tasty craft brews,green buds,lovely ladies,delicious food,festivals and fun.We need to pack in a lot of stuff up here,in a short amount of time after our loooooooooooooong,cold Buffalo winters.Kudos to the TRUTH SAYERS who take the time to remind readers of the REALITY of TRTC/BLUM and what OUR company is building,while laying waste to the non-stop rants of the poo crew.My supply of troll food is pretty low for the time being.Peace.-Grizz
Wholesale marijuana prices on the upswing in Nevada amid growing demand
Published July 30, 2018 | By Eli McVey
Defying trends in other recreational markets across the United States, wholesale cannabis prices in Nevada continue to rise a year after adult-use sales began.
Looking ahead, there are few signs prices will fall anytime soon.
By contrast, wholesale cannabis prices in other states have been declining for years.
The fair market value per pound of wholesale flower – a metric used by the Nevada Department of Taxation to levy taxes on the state’s marijuana growers – has jumped more than $650 from July 2017 to July 2018, a 30% increase.
The wholesale price per pound of trim has climbed 26% over the same period.
Demand for recreational marijuana in Nevada has been stronger than many industry experts initially anticipated and has continued to grow.
Adult-use sales in Nevada totaled nearly $189 million through the first five months of 2018, an average of $37.8 million per month. That’s up 16% from average monthly rec sales of $32.6 million in 2017. Rec sales began July 1, 2017.
Alex Taracki, CEO of Even Cannabis Company, a Las Vegas-based infused product manufacturer, believes rising wholesale prices are driven by factors other than high demand, namely:
Overzealous cannabis testing standards that have curbed supplies at the retail level.
Cultivation facilities that are unequipped to handle heat and humidity.
“It’s not necessarily a dearth of supply, it’s rigorous testing standards keeping prices high,” he said. “Nevada’s the only legal state that’s testing microbials in parts per billion, not million.
“A lot of cultivators have issues with humidity in their grows, cutting corners on the humidifying and air conditioning, especially this time of the year when the temperature is 120 degrees.
“So, the problem here is that around 40% of crop fails tests for microbials, then it’s very, very hard to be able to meet the demand for quality cannabis.”
Marijuana that doesn’t pass testing can be sold at a lower price to processors, whose extraction procedures remove microbials and impurities.
But with high testing failure rates, cultivators are forced to charge retailers extra for marijuana that meets the stringent criteria.
Looking forward, Taracki foresees prices staying where they are for at least another year if testing standards remain unchanged.
BREAKING DOWN 'Depository Trust Company - DTC'
The settlement services that the DTC provides are designed to lower costs and risk as well as increase the efficiency of the market. It offers net settlement obligations at the end of each day from trading in equity, debt and money market instruments. The DTC also provides asset servicing, along with a range of services.
Most of the country’s biggest broker-dealers and banks are DTC participants. That means that they deposit and hold securities at the DTC, which appears in the records of an issuer’s stock as the sole registered owner of those securities deposited at the DTC. The participants — the banks and the brokers-dealers — own a proportionate interest in the aggregate shares of an issuer held at DTC. For example, Bank X may contain a proportion of the group of shares of Stock BB that are being held in custody at the DTC.
History of the DTC
The DTC emerged in the late 1960s when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) became unable to handle its trade volume, which was then more than 8 million shares per day. Due in part to the creation of the DTC, the NYSE now can handle billions of trades per day. The DTC lowers costs and improves accuracy through its automated system.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC) owns the DTC. The DTCC manages risk in the financial system. Formerly an independent entity, the DTC was consolidated with several other securities clearing companies in 1999 and became a subsidiary of the DTCC.
The Scope of the DTC's Activities
The DTC holds trillions of dollars' worth of securities in custody, including corporate stocks and bonds, municipal bonds and money market instruments. It settles funds at the end of each trading day using the Fedwire Funds Service. The DTC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is owned by many companies in the financial industry, with the NYSE being one of its largest shareholders. Securities brokers, dealers, institutional investors, depository institutions, issuing and paying agents, and settling banks use the DTC, but individual investors do not interact with it.
In 2012, the DTC settled 299.3 million securities, with a dollar amount of $110.3 trillion. As of July 31, 2017, the DTC held more than 1.3 million current securities issues valued at $54.2 trillion. These included securities issued in the United States and 131 other countries and territories.
Additional Services Provided by the DTC
In addition to safekeeping, recordkeeping and clearing services, the DTC provides direct registration, underwriting, reorganization, and proxy and dividend services. For example, it announces when a company declares a dividend, then it collects the dividend payment from the issuing company, allocates dividend payments to the shareholders and reports those payments. The DTC also provides global tax services.

"Frankly, I don't like the MJ conference hall"---Maybe not a bad thing.It would help in promoting the BLUM name and the brand overall,along with selling product at events.A nice venue with the BLUM name/logo plastered in LARGE letters on the outside of it.A concert venue where folks would get exposure to the BLUM line of products before,during and after.Wetting their appetite to search out BLUM and IVXX products in the future.BUILDING THE BRAND,that's a big part of the long term goal,right? As long as it doesn't get too expensive to build and operate said venue.
Also,due to the tax laws as they currently are,any profits made would be taxed at an incredibly high rate.There will be no profits shown until those tax laws change to be more favorable for mj companies.Monies made will go back into the business building out TRTC for the time being, which is just fine with me.They are quietly building a beast of a company.
Good Lord let's hope she's starting to run.We've been (im)PATIENTLY waiting long enough .Just a little love every now and then is all I'm looking for.SUPREMELY CONFIDENT with the BIG PICTURE though,as I'm sure y'all know by now.
The good news keeps on coming for TRTC/BLUM,while the "big wheels keep on turnin'" behind the scenes.Despite a LOT of naysaying on this forum,I believe that by now the smart folks see the transparency of the "game " being played around here by a certain poo-crew.Hold onto your shares people and enjoy the "long and winding road" to prosperity with Derek and Terra Tech.It should be very obvious by now that TRTC is most definitely the REAL DEAL.The future is very BRIGHT indeed,and YES-- BUSINESS IS BLUM-IN'.
AH yes- rehashing the "fairy tale" once again--once upon a time there was an unscrupulous group of shorters who garnered joy in scaring regular folks out of their shares of a companies stock.It makes a fine bedtime story......TRTC = a BIG BOY stock treading water in the OTC.That is until our politicians listen to the PEOPLE and make the herb legal throughout the USA.Then watch how "high" TRTC price will go.
