I'm going to watch CBGI and VGPR this week and see how it plays out. I actually think TRTC is a good company even without the MJ prospects.

You are right, TRTC is the most legitimate MJ company. Their CEO is a former banker and banking expertise is what an MJ company needs. Their hydroponic focused efforts may place them to become a major supplier. I was chicken and bailed like a fool. Long term 1.15 is a good entry point. Short term I would like to see 0.89

I got back in even though it's a really small position (450 shares) at 1.15 Friday. I plan on buying more and more before any big news hopefully. Is there a site I can go to that will list when a certain company has to report earnings? Is it possible OTC stocks don't have to report earnings?

Without a stop loss this is what most people do with volatile stocks...

"Just a temporary dip, it should start going back up so I'll hold onto it"

"Down 5% now, don't want to sell and see it shoot back up"

"Down 10%, don't want to be a sucker and sell at the bottom"

"Down 20%, it's too late now, I should have sold earlier instead of riding it down but now it's dropped too much so I'm stuck with it."

"Down 30%, screw it, I better take the loss and sell before I lose any more money"

"Up 15%. Motherf#%$er."

With a stock like PLUG any news can cut the stock in half in a matter of minutes or hours. Much better to sell with a profit when you shouldn't have (which you can't know for sure at the time anyway) than to get massacred by a huge drop. You can always buy back in when Citron Research or some other market manipulating short seller puts out a hit piece and crashes the stock.
You couldn't have explained it better. As a novice investor, I have learned a lot from PLUG.
