(OTCMKTS:OCTX) Continues Its Slide Towards the Bottom"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/OCTXchart.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"OCTXchart.png\" title=\"OCTXchart.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/>The stock of Octagon Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a>) lost another 13% of its value during yesterday&#8217;s session. The ticker has been spiraling downwards since mid-May and has lost 60% since briefly touching on $10 back in April. Just in the last two weeks it saw a deflation of nearly 3 dollars, dropping from $6.64 to $3.72. <\/p>\n<p>There is a good reason for investors to be pessimistic about the future of the company as it is nothing but a vehicle for a pump scheme. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a> intends to operate oil and gas assets in the U.S. and Canada which is the preferred industry if you want to attract unsuspecting investors. Moving disproportionately from the company&#8217;s fundamentals the stock even at the current levels is too overpriced. We already covered most of the red flags about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a> when they were still actively pumped back in May.<\/p>\n<p>As for the results of their business lets turn to the latest quarterly report for the period ending March 31. Back then they had:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$7233 cash and total current assets<\/li>\n<li>$31 thousand total current liabilities<\/li>\n<li>ZERO revenues since inception<\/li>\n<li>$18 thousand net loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seeing these numbers one might wonder what was actually supporting the stock on its climb up the stock chart. Well, that must have been the $66 million listed as long-term investment. But don&#8217;t get too impressed by that amount. Most if not all of the sum comes from an agreement with CEC North Star Energy Ltd. According to the terms of the deal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a> gave 14 million of its common shares that they themselves priced at $4.50 each, or $63 million in total, for 3.1 million CEC North Star&#8217;s shares. Which in other words means that the actual value is unknown but more than likely is no where near as much.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/8FITXchart.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"8FITXchart.png\" title=\"8FITXchart.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/>Another recent pump that displayed many of the characteristics &#8211; landing pages, hard mailers and alert emails, was the one for Polar Petroleum Corp. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=POLR\">POLR<\/a>). SEC were even forced to intervene and suspend the stock. Yesterday Creative Edge Nutrition, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FITX\">FITX<\/a>) had an even more horrendous session than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a> and dropped by 43% on massive sales of shares. Northumberland Resources Inc (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=NHUR\">NHUR<\/a>) also keeps losing value albeit on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n<p>For now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=OCTX\">OCTX<\/a> is likely to continue correcting even further unless another round of promotions isn&#8217;t initiated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stock of Octagon Resources Inc.
