Part 1: AVT Inc. (OTC Market: AVTC)

AVT Inc. research at the Michigan Technological University

I am an investor. I do not like gambling or speculation. Some of you out in my “blog land” like to gamble. Some of you like high speculation. So I am going to give you a series of blogs dedicated to gambling and high speculation in the birth of the legal Marijuana Industry. 

Marijuana Stocks are hot this year. This happened in 2014 after Colorado opened their first public Marijuana shops that drew 2 hour lines. Cannabis is on its way to becoming legal under federal law in other states in the coming years. This 2014 Marijuana Stock surge is mainly Marijuana Penny Stocks that trade on the OTC Market.

In my opinion, most new growth industries start with a good many players in it. But as the industry grows and matures, few are left standing. Just look at the history of the Automobile Industry from the start of the 1900s until now. Many of the companies that was around when I was born do not exist today.

Most of the Marijuana Penny Stocks make no or little money or have revenue. But that does not mean that they could not be good investment trading vehicles. That means that they are good for buying then selling at a profit 6 months or less from purchase. On January 23, 2014, the stock sold for  $3.31 with a high of $4.35 and a low of $3.31 swing in a 1 hour period.  I would buy the stock under $3.00 per share and sell it above $4.00 per share.
