Nobody was really interested in it and it appeared that nothing is capable of digging it out of these levels. Yesterday, however, it absolutely exploded. <\/p>\n<p>The 200% in daily gains are not that remarkable for a triple zero ticker, but the volume is absolutely astonishing. More than 2.3 billion shares changed hands bringing the trade value to over $1.1 million. <\/p>\n<p>Luckily, this wasn&#8217;t caused by a paid promotion. We&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a> go through a couple of awareness campaigns and we know for a fact that it&#8217;s far from the best performer. But if it isn&#8217;t the pumpers, then what is causing all the stir?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a> have been taken over by the hype around the marijuana industry and it seems that they want a piece of the action. About an hour and a half before the start of yesterday&#8217;s session, they announced that they have formed a subsidiary called Cannabis Angel, Inc. As the name would suggest, the new daughter company is going to provide funding for various businesses working in the marijuana industry. Sounds good &#8211; there&#8217;s certainly quite a lot of enthusiasm around the cannabis business and analysts say that the sector is about to experience major growth.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, if <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a> are going to help start-up companies with some fresh financing, they will need to have some money of their own. The latest 10-Q covers the period ended September 30, 2013, and it shows that they might have some serious issues. Here&#8217;s a summary of the most important figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $2,129<\/li>\n<li>current assets: $56 thousand<\/li>\n<li>current liabilities: $10 million<\/li>\n<li>quarterly revenues: $7,646<\/li>\n<li>quarterly net loss: $228 thousand <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They did announce that they have reached an agreement with a Minneapolis-based private equity fund, but the fact that they&#8217;re reluctant to share the name of their new partners coupled with the flurry of optimistic press releases that have resulted in less than $10 thousand in quarterly revenues certainly raise some suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the management team will first need to convince us that they&#8217;re able to dig their own company out of the financial mess before committing to funding smaller, start-up businesses.<\/p>\n<p>And since we&#8217;re on the subject of the management team, we should note that there was one more event that happened yesterday. A few minutes after the end of the intense session, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a> filed an 8-K form which informs us that Barry Hollander has resigned from his position as acting CEO and will be succeeded by Henry Fong.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been following our articles closely, you know that this isn&#8217;t Mr. Fong&#8217;s first stint at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a>&#8216;s helm. You also know that he was once involved with a company called Alumifuel Power Corp (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=AFPW\">AFPW<\/a>) (whose financial situation is just as dismal as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a>&#8216;s).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; margin: 3px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/9FFFC_logo.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"9FFFC_logo.jpg\" title=\"9FFFC_logo.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"52\" \/>Mr. Fong and Mr. Hollander&#8217;s names can be found in the filings of some other penny stocks as well. One of which is SurgLine International Inc (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SGLN\">SGLN<\/a>) &#8211; an OTC company that got a temporary suspension order from the SEC back in 2012 due to questions regarding the adequacy and accuracy of the publicly available information about them.<\/p>\n<p>Some interesting facts, you would agree, and we reckon that they certainly warrant quite a lot of extra caution. Doing your own due diligence and carefully considering the dangers around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FFFC\">FFFC<\/a> is, as always, absolutely essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few months, Fastfunds Financial Corporation (OTCMKTS:FFFC) has been happily hovering between $0.0001 and $0.0003 per share.
