Terra Tech (TRTC) has filed several Form 4s this month disclosing the continued sale of stock by the management as well as directors: One top analayst has been on the sidelines with TRTC for the last 18 months due to the company’s management team which continues to sell stock, its balance sheet which is very weak and will be dilutive, and its capital needs. Since 2015, we have been saying the company is focused on too many initiatives and needs to refine its focus and sell-off one or two business units. It is not too challenging to see (based on its financial statements) that the company is seeing more growth from its cannabis division. Also, the margins associated with this revenue is significantly higher. We would become favorable if the company took steps like this to improve its future.
