(OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a>) may get a boost as it struggles to take off. After markets closed yesterday, the company posted a fresh 10-Q, and the end of the trading week may reflect the event. Currently, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> stands at a round $0.50, more than 55% below its peak prices, but the new round of financials may reveal its advantage compared to other marijuana stocks. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> opened downward in the early minutes on Friday, toward $0.46. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/TRTC0516.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"TRTC0516.png\" title=\"TRTC0516.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> posted incredibly optimistic news, citing a 700% increase in revenues compared to Q1 of 2013. We are not sure if the numbers already reflect marijuana sales, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> still relies on greenhouse production, and investors even note that its main revenues come from reselling produce for a markup. In fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> makes almost no money from its own hydroponics systems, but only through the existing greenhouses of other producers. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> is the lease holder of the land where independent farmers care for the actual production, note forum commenters.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/GRNH0516.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"GRNH0516.png\" title=\"GRNH0516.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Still, the latest filing contains rather robust numbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$2.969 million cash, compared to $26,900 at the end of 2013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$8.41 million total assets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$6 million total current liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$560,319 quarterly revenues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$4.9 million net loss, compared to $1.5 million loss for Q1 of 2013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A it is easily seen, while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> is revving up its business engines, it is also burdening itself with more debt, and piling up losses on top. While the numbers may reveal a certain seriousness, there is still risk that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> fails as a marijuana company, and the stock price is shaken down by additional market forces.<\/p>\n<p>Investors&#8217;  forums also believe that the good financial news would even hurt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a>, as investors &#8220;sell the news&#8221; and send the ticker down to a price of just a few pennies, where it hovered before the big surge and enthusiasm surrounding cannabis companies. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> has a mid-range weight of 1.76% in the Marijuana index, and in a way the stock movements reflect also the general position of the industry-wide marker. Both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> and the index are drifting on a faction of their peak price.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> will now have to face the challenge of a weekend, and will have to prove it can survive the selling pressures. Fortunately, there are few solid alternatives in the MMJ sector that are not affected by the foul mood, so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TRTC\">TRTC<\/a> may have yet another shot at price gains.<\/p>\n<p>GreenGro Technologies, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=GRNH\">GRNH<\/a>) also holds the potential of a seller of greenhouse and hydroponics systems. The ticker is affected by the same lack of enthusiasm, as it inched further downward, this time toward $0.245.<\/p>\n<p>Another agricultural grower, Stevia, Corp. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=STEV\">STEV<\/a>) was indeed sold off on the news. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=STEV\">STEV<\/a> posted optimistic harvest figures, but instead of easily peaking above 20 cents, it continued digging down even deeper, toward $0.15.<\/p>\n<p>So if you believe growers have the upper hand in the MMJ sector, think twice, as any company could suddenly lose the confidence of investors and fall on bad days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terra Tech, Corp.
