Alternative Fuel Technologies (AFTC.PK) has been recently involved in the stock promotion campaign. It paid $30,000 to HotOTC.com, as well as to Stock Egg. After that the stock seems to have caught the wave of raising the volume increased to 20 million, while the price jumped up by 60%. The current stock value is $0.071.

It should also be mentioned that the company has recently announced to have signed the contract with Ford Motor Company to supply them with a DME fuel system for a single cylinder alternative fuels/emissions research project. However, Ford itself does not state anything about that. Can it be true that this is only hype? If anyone finds anything out, please inform me as well.

After the last trade, the stock of Trustcash Holdings lost over 30% of its value. Some investors seem have got ridden of the stock and the volume reached almost 56 million. Let’s look at the company in a more detail.

Trustcash Holdings Inc. (TCHH.PK) provides a technology platform that enables customers to make purchases in an anonymous capacity on the Internet without using a credit card or writing a check. After the unaudited announcement on the reduction of the debt by approximately $1,075,000, the company hasn’t still filed any reports from August 2008.

According to the latest quarterly filing, the assets constituted $375,000, while liabilities were $2,034,000. In addition, TCHH has experienced the loss and hasn’t earned a penny.

Despite the fact that Trustcash expects to start updating its information on the Pink Sheets website, the company has made a deal with OTC Reporter which was paid 20 million free trading shares. If the stock is turned into money, it is about $64,000.

All in all, would you try to get into the company like Trustcash Holdings Inc. after the news I have introduced?

Crystal Properties Holdings Inc. (CPHG.PK) purchases and sells discounted real estate, real estate portfolios and underdeveloped properties from individual investors, financial institutions, developers and banks. Although the company announced that it signed a pre-development agreement with the City of Rockford, this does not look legible. It sounds unrealistic because the company should have filed the notification about the event to the SEC.

In addition, recently OTC Reporter received 450,000 free trading shares, while earlier StockStars.net was paid $7,500. We might draw the conclusion that the stock promotion hasn’t still started to affect the stock trading of the company. After the last trade, the stock went down by 30% and is now at $0.031.

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (INTK.PK) is the developer, manufacturer, and marketer of industrial grade insulation products using nanotechnology. The company has recently announced that it is launching three new products. The CEO/CTO of the company Stuart Burchill states, “These products will be offered worldwide through our Company and through a network of exclusive approved retailers and contractors.”

However, this is not the only news. Yesterday INTK paid Stock Guru $9,000 and 100,000 restricted common shares for the stock promotional service. I am wondering what the company is going to do further.

The Amergence Group (AMNG.PK) is on the way to expand its stock promotion which started in the beginning of the year (to read the previous article, click here). This time the company joined hands with OTC Picks which was paid $2,500.

It seems that the services provided have started helping the stock to rise. After the last trade, the stock obtained 20% of its value. Besides, there seems to be more liquidity in stock trading.

All in all, the sudden stock price jump cannot be explained in any other way than promotion although the company announced some good news about joint venture agreement, as well as the opening of a new office in Hong Kong.

Both of the events remind hype rather than reality due to the fact that the company is a non-reporting to the SEC. Just be cautious with this player in the field of the market.
