(OTCMKTS:VAPE) Tries To Make A Recovery"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/vape.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"201\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a> HOLDINGS INC. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a>) has been painting the charts red with a continuous downward streak for some months now. Yesterday it rose 14.97%, despite the negative commentary about it on the web and the shrinkage of the marijuana market due to SEC suspension-induced fear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">The company had been a popular choice for investors even before the marijuana rush hit the market with full force. Back then <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a> <\/strong>was called Peoplestring Corp. and fluctuated around the dollar mark, despite its obvious shortcomings. A 40 to 1 reverse split and a tremendously spectacular crash later, the company is traded at $2.15 and market cap has been reduced to a scant $18 million. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Technically it is true that the company was traded as a pot-stock for a while, so it may appear odd that the company has been in decline despite the green rush. However, no amount of hype and hope can compensate for the fact that its 10-Q showed that it had $20 thousand in total assets and NO REVENUES at the end of 2013. Its most recent report shows a bit of progress, but also reveals a ton of red flags:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cash &#8211; $598 thousand<\/li>\n<li>Total current liabilities &#8211; $556 thousand<\/li>\n<li>Total liabilities &#8211; $30.4 million<\/li>\n<li>Revenue &#8211; $30 thousand<\/li>\n<li>Loss on settlement of debt &#8211; $29.5 million<\/li>\n<li>Net cash used in operating activities &#8211; $252 thousand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">It turns out that, due to some shenanigans involving the unclear wording of promissory notes, combined with the reverse split, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a><\/strong> technically ended up owing a ridiculous amount of money. The report claims that the issue has been resolved successfully with the creditor, but the fact that such a misunderstanding has occurred in the first place is disconcerting in and of itself. In light of this, perhaps <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s revenue is a better indicator of the company&#8217;s progress, but that number is also grossly insufficient to give investors a reason for joy.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/40sc.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Another point of concern is the fact that Growlife Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PHOT\">PHOT<\/a>)&#8217;s Acting President, a Mr. Kyle Tracey, is currently <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VAPE\">VAPE<\/a>&#8216;s CEO, CFO AND one of the two members of the board of directors<\/strong> that the company has listed in its filings. His name has been used to the company&#8217;s advantage when <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PHOT\">PHOT<\/a> <\/strong>appeared promising, but as a result of the controversy surrounding <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PHOT\">PHOT<\/a>&#8216;s<\/strong> suspension, some investors now regard Mr. Tracey with suspicion. And they&#8217;re probably right to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/30PLPE_logo.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"130\" height=\"47\" \/>Investors are encouraged to seriously consider the filings and all the reliable information that is available on the company when deciding to commit to high risk stocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VAPE HOLDINGS INC.
