What is a rare sight though is outright lying but DNA Brands, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a>) did just that.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div>On June 9 they announced that their line of energy coffee products is going to be distributed by Trenton Coca-Cola Bottling Co. The PR stated that an agreement had been reached and even featured a quote from Trenton&#8217;s President &#8211; Mr. Chuck Jones. Seeing the words Coca and Cola, despite the fact that Trenton has nothing to do with The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), was still enough to drive investors into a buying frenzy. On the day of the announcement <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a> <\/strong>increased its share price by more than 525% on trade volume of 277 million shares.<\/div>\n<div>On the very next day though it turned out that everything was a lie, or a &#8220;<em>misunderstanding<\/em>&#8221; as the official PR called the situation. Not only was the agreement not real but apparently Mr. Jones wasn&#8217;t the president of Trenton. Well, we reckon that things are a little bit more serious than a simple misunderstanding. Two whole sessions investors were making decisions based on completely false information.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Despite the fiasco it seems that traders were not ready to leave the company and when yesterday it announced a new distribution deal, we hope that this time it won&#8217;t be another misunderstanding, they decided to jump right back in. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a> <\/strong>once again flew upwards and closed 43% higher at $0.0043. <\/div>\n<div>Even if you disregard the whole situation <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a> <\/strong>is still surrounded by red flags. They are in a dire financial state and finished the first quarter of 2014 with:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>$110 thousand cash<\/li>\n<li>$428 thousand total current assets<\/li>\n<li>$3.2 million total current liabilities<\/li>\n<li>$48 thousand revenues<\/li>\n<li>$793 thousand net loss<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>An even bigger issue though is the continued dilution of the common stock. Just for the 11 days between May 18 and May 29 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a> issued close to 70 million shares. This brought the outstanding shares to 318 million. With over $1.1 million worth of convertible notes and 1 billion authorized shares the dilution is unlikely to stop anytime soon.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=DNAX\">DNAX<\/a> <\/strong>is an extremely risky choice for investment.
