I am exhausted so this is really terse.
(1) Yes, that is the stock. Thanks for not posting.
(2) I don't like evaluations. In order to evaluate a stock you have to compare against others. But, there is nothing to compare to unfortunately. I will tell you this I am holding until $6. That will probably take 18 months or longer.
(3) No, TRTC is not the company I have found has political connections. TRTC may as well but I have not found a link. The company I am referring to is out of Texas but is in the same business. I have not seen its symbol on any of the "pot" lists.
(4) Yeah, so ever heard of AERO? I bought AERO stock in 2012. It is a direct competitor with PHOT AND it actually is a real company. So AERO was less than 50 cents when I bought and I sold just under $4. During that same time PHOT... well has sincerely underperformed. So I think I have answered both your questions. I gave a stock that has been completely missed by these "comprehensive" lists and one that should give you proof that PHOT is a scam. If it wasn't well it would have done what AERO did. My list of pot sector stocks, and stocks that should benefit from weed has at least 20 symbols I have never seen on any lists on iHub.
(5) My guess is that the toxic investor is gambling on the company going bankrupt and seizing the assets. The loan is contingent upon a the stock going up through that offering. And, though that seems like a probability now after the rest of the stocks start diluting which WILL happen then most of the sector will fall and this will prevent the company from meeting it's obligations. This is just a theory. But, it is plausible enough to me that I never bought back after that filing. I have seen similarly events transpire. It is a pretty sharp business move. But, again it is just a theory. I just think my money is better placed elsewhere.
