(OTCBB:VPIG) Takes Another Step Down the Charts"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/VPIG_chart.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"VPIG_chart.png\" title=\"VPIG_chart.png\" width=\"450\" height=\"201\" \/>The previous two months have been mostly kind towards Virtual Piggy, Inc. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a>). The company&#8217;s stock price practically doubled from early April to late May, going from $1.60 to $3.20. May 28 marked the first of a series of sneezes that sent the price on a red streak, which more or less continued into yesterday&#8217;s session, when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a> closed 6% down. <\/p>\n<p>Virtual Piggy is a business offering online payment solutions for children and teenagers, controlled and administrated by their parents. The company is still developing its business and has not really rolled out a successful revenue generation model. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a>&#8216;s plans for 2013 development include consumer acquisitions and expansion, with plans to maximize revenues in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, the company does have a respectable amount of cash on hand and modest current liabilities. Here is what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a> published as financial information as of March 2013, in their Q1 report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$5.3 million in cash<\/li>\n<li>$853 thousand in current liabilities<\/li>\n<li>$2.6 million in quarterly net loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the company has a good amount of cash on hand, losses piling up over time have led to an accumulated deficit of $22 million. The company would do well to roll out a revenue generating model as soon as possible, as even quarterly loss is in the millions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that it was trading much higher at the time, on May 28 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a> issued 2.5 million shares at $1.80 per share to accredited investors. In the month of May the company issued more shares, for total cash proceeds of $1.3 million, with share prices of the newly issued shares ranging from $0.04 to $0.50. Those cheap shares were issued over &#8220;previously outstanding options and warrants&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Today <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VPIG\">VPIG<\/a> announced its new partnership with Live Gamer, an enterprise offering microtransaction models and services for the gaming industry. Live Gamer&#8217;s services are employed by Facebook and were formerly used by Sony Entertainment for their EverQuest 2 franchise. Live Gamer discontinued their work with Sony by mutual consent in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/81BMSN_chart.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"81BMSN_chart.png\" title=\"81BMSN_chart.png\" width=\"330\" height=\"147\" \/>Integral Technologies, Inc.

Despite their much lower share price, Bio Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=BMSN\">BMSN<\/a>) shares that changed hands yesterday were worth almost as much, at 148 million <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=BMSN\">BMSN<\/a> shares traded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The previous two months have been mostly kind towards Virtual Piggy, Inc.
