(OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a>) was created but results have been underwhelming to say the least. Especially after Tuesday&#8217;s crash which wiped most of the gains and brought the stock back to $0.54. Traded volume has also failed to reach the enthusiasm displayed on the first day of the pump surpassing the one million mark only when the stock is crashing. <\/p>\n<p>Such a poor performance is not something one would expect after the wide-spread efforts to raise awareness about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a>. No less than four different sites are currently involved in advertising the company. First was the obvious wtrreport which displays a lengthy coverage of the company created by IPOdesktop. If this name doesn&#8217;t ring any bells maybe you are more familiar with its President and Editor, the financial analyst Francis Gaskin.<\/p>\n<p>In the first version of the report they disclosed being paid $15 000 for their services by Investech Equities. Even though this part has now been omitted the disclaimer will still give you all the information you need to know about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a>. Investech are managing a budget of $3 million for the promotion and more importantly entities related to them own a large amount of shares with the intent to dump them on the market.<\/p>\n<p>This explains why the site BeverageInvestor alongside with MountStockMore were probably created with the sole purpose to promote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a>. The group is also joined by TheEconomistTimes whose front page is riddled with banners leading to the same report about the company.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a> tried to recover by releasing another PR article. In it they announced that production is going to be increased due to a projected increase in demand of its alkaline water. Well,  the stock did manage to close in the green but the 1.8% <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/9ETEKchart.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"9ETEKchart.png\" title=\"9ETEKchart.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/>gains compared to the previous day are hardly optimistic. Doing your own research should always precede any investment decision especially in a stock currently undergoing a pump.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday Soul and Vibe Interactive Inc (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SOUL\">SOUL<\/a>D) continued its series of dismal session and lost another 22% of its value dropping to just $0.42. The harsh corrections come after a 3-for-1 reverse split that briefly inflated the price per share. Eco-Tek Group, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=ETEK\">ETEK<\/a>) also offered traders nothing but losses when it plummeted by 40% on the first day of its $80 thousand promotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been some time since the landing page touting The Alkaline Water Company Inc.
