Petrotech Oil &amp;Gas, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a>) added 40% to reach $0.009, on record buying volumes above $324,000. Nearly 40 million shares changed hands as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> was boosted by a new promotion last Friday. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/PTOG0601.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"PTOG0601.png\" title=\"PTOG0601.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>For a compensation of $15,000, 1-2-3 Stock Alerts touted the benefits of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> mostly as an upwardly volatile ticker, and not so much as a promising oil company. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/FTTN0601.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"FTTN0601.png\" title=\"FTTN0601.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for promises, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> is extremely adept at circumstantial language, pointing out plans, preliminary agreements and research on various areas of drilling and distributing bio-degradable products. So far, all of this has been mostly an effort to boost the company&#8217;s positions and make a wider impression.<\/p>\n<p>The last time we visited <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> was in the fall of 2013, when the pumpers caused a brief spike in price- but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> had already sank to extremely low levels. The new bout of promotions may have an even shorter-lived effect. In September, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> was up to similar tricks- signing preliminary agreements for an oil well in Oklahoma. None of the good intentions materialized in the bottom line:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $509 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>current assets: $6 thousand <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>current liabilities: $986 thousand <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>no revenue <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>quarterly net loss: $48 thousand <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> is the perfect OTC vehicle for short-term gains, at least for investors who managed to estimate well the time frame. The red flags around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> are abundant- the first one being that this is the eight ticker name through which the company goes, which means that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> may be hiding a past history of defunct promotions.<\/p>\n<p>On January 3rd, a long list of sub-contracted pumpers took up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a>. The common theme is the paying party, E-Relations Group, standing behind the seven emails with the $20,000 total budget so far. And E-Relations Group has all the reasons to hire Global Marketing Media LLC and its pumpers, since it is the legal council of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> and may benefit in many ways from inflating the stock price.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the market value of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> has shrank to $850,000, on 114 million shares outstanding, a float of 81 million shares and potentially vast numbers of insider holdings. Further, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> has 750 million shares authorized, allowing future dilution, should the ticker survive that far.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a> has moved through several business, including entertainment and beverages, before riding the trend of oil stocks on the OTC markets.<\/p>\n<p>But even more solid OTC stocks have failed, such as First Titan, Corp. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FTTN\">FTTN<\/a>), which investors knowingly pushed to higher levels, nearly $2. Now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FTTN\">FTTN<\/a> is making an attempt at a rebounce toward 70 cents, after a steep drop. Nevada Gold Corp. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=NVGC\">NVGC<\/a>) did no better, after overly-aggressive promotion led to suspended trading and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=NVGC\">NVGC<\/a> resumed activity at a faction of the price.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PTOG\">PTOG<\/a>, this has always been a risky bid, so estimate your time frame well and avoid investing unless you can afford the setbacks, which happen lightning-fast for this underpriced stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the oil sector promises meet a wild and unpredictable double-zero ticker, the result is a dramatic daily growth.
