AGRITEK HLDGS INC COM USD0.0001 (OTCMKTS:AGTK) is a penny play that has started to garner attention as the stock bounces up the chart in a parabolic ascent, only recently succumbing to a break in momentum. The stock is still up 500% since early September, even after its jarring break at the end of last week, so we still consider the rise to be the story here.
Traders will note just shy of 270% piled on for shareholders of the listing during the trailing month. This is emblematic of the stock. Shares of AGTK stock have a track record that includes a number of dramatic bounces. Furthermore, the company has seen interest climb, with an increase in recent trading volume of just under 300% beyond its prior sustained average level.

The Hemp grow and cultivation license which shall be under the umbrella as a subsidiary Company with Agritek as the principal investor shall allow the company to create and distribute new Hemp wellness brands and products with the utmost consistency through conducting internal research and perfection of Hemp strains through the planned research facility.
“We have been able to get this venture off the ground with minimal investment dollars, and the value of having the Hemp cultivation license through our strategic partner and being able to control our own strains, research and provide the consistency of product quality through maintaining our own grow through this partnership will prove to be an invaluable asset to our Company’s future revenue growth,” stated B.
