Despite the amount of touting and the tasty compensations that some of them received, the whole proceedings turned into a fiasco really quickly. On September 1, 2011 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a>&#8216;s price hovered around $0.80, but just a month later, it was down by about 73%. The promoters tried again towards the end of April 2012, and while this time, the campaign was quite a bit smaller, it too morphed into a bloodbath in a matter of a couple of sessions.  <\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we weren&#8217;t expecting much when we received yesterday&#8217;s promotional emails from Stock Mister, The Stock Braniac and Premier Equity Reports and, as is evident from the chart, the ticker didn&#8217;t really show much in the way of performance. It opened the session at $0.01, made an extremely short run to around $0.02 after which it came crashing down and demolished around 58% of the value. The fact that the intraday high of $0.025 is really close to the 52-week high of $0.028 offers little condolence to the people who lost more than half of their investment after just six and a half hours of trading. But let&#8217;s see if there is anything that could stop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a>&#8216;s plummet.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we&#8217;re struggling to see such a thing. As of the time of writing this article, their website seems to be down and it gives us a notification that the domain name has expired and is awaiting renewal or deletion, which is something of a blow to the credibility of the company. That said, we don&#8217;t need their website to check out the SEC filings and having done that, we can see the reason for the internet portal outage &#8211; the lack of cash. Here are all the figures contained in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a>&#8216;s 10-K covering the twelve months that ended on May 31:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $946<\/li>\n<li>total assets: $1,003<\/li>\n<li>total liabilities: $83 thousand<\/li>\n<li>no revenue since inception<\/li>\n<li>yearly net loss: $53 thousand <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these sort of numbers in mind, it becomes very difficult to trust your money with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a> but when you check out their operational history (or rather, the lack of it), things become even trickier. Throughout the years, they have signed agreements with a variety of ventures and individuals for the exploration and acquisition of mineral rights scattered throughout the US and Canada. They did try to drill a few holes at some of the properties but for different reasons they decided that none of the sights are worth investing into. This means that right now, the 10-K quotes: &#8220;We are currently seeking other projects and mineral interests in which we may become involved that will have merit as potential positive mining projects.&#8221;. Quite frankly, we&#8217;re struggling to see how they&#8217;ll manage to find positive mining projects with only $1,003 in assets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; margin: 3px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/AAGC_HQ.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"AAGC_HQ.png\" title=\"AAGC_HQ.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"136\" \/>The yearly report also says that their principal office is located at 514 Enfield Road, Delray Beach, FL 33440-2840 and according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a>&#8216;s management team, the facility there is &#8220;satisfactory, suitable and adequate&#8221; for their needs. That may be so, but there&#8217;s no getting away from the fact that it is a residential house as is evident from the picture on the right and we can&#8217;t say that having it as a company HQ is exactly confidence-inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>What will happen next? Well, as a general rule, promoted penny stocks are extremely unpredictable. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AAGC\">AAGC<\/a> might bounce against all odds like Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=ESIV\">ESIV<\/a>) did yesterday or it might sink further down like Affinity Mediaworks Corp (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AFFW\">AFFW<\/a>) and obliterate even more unfortunate investors. Whatever happens, we can safely say that performing an extensive research and a lot of due diligence is absolutely essential before making any decisions that might prove costly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in September 2011 a number of newsletters initiated quite a big promotional campaign on All American Gold Corp (OTCMKTS:AAGC).
