What's our take?The interesting feature is that EnergyOne Technologies, Inc. is private. Thus, we know very little about its operating performance or the amount of assets owned.All State Properties Holdings Inc. seems to be filing all the necessary documents to the OTC Markets exchange, but little about the business of EnergyOne Technologies, Inc. is noted there.How are the OTC Markets and the regulators reacting?The exchange reacted by designating the stock as “Caveat Emptor”. This means that market participants "need to exercise additional care and perform thorough due diligence before making an investment decision in that security." Buyer's beware symbol from athomeshuntsville.comThe OTC Markets usually uses this symbol when it becomes aware of one of the following activities:

• Promotion/Spam without adequate current information
• Investigation of fraud or other criminal activities
• Suspension/Halt
• Undisclosed corporate actions
• Unsolicited quotes
• Other public interest concern

We believe that the exchange is concerned about the way All State Properties Holdings is presenting its financial information. In our opinion, the company is not showing the assets and the financial income obtained by EnergyOne, which is disturbing for the regulators.What's the solution?The company needs to contact the exchange to understand why the Caveat Emptor designation was placed. Usually, a lawyer will work with management and will certify that the company is in compliance with the current regulatory framework.Please note that the share price could increase once the negative sign is removed. Thus, being alert on this fact may be very beneficial.Why is the share price moving so much?The low float in this company may explain the share price volatility. Here are the share statistics provided by the company:Authorized Shares7,000,000,000a/o Sep 30, 2010Outstanding Shares2,964,181,540a/o Sep 10, 2015-RestrictedNot Available-UnrestrictedNot AvailableHeld at DTCNot AvailableFloatNot AvailableSourceThe float is not given, but EnergyOne owns 87% of the company. Hence, we get that only 13% is owned by the public and big market orders could be making the share price move quite a bit.Short sellers are piling upUnethical behaviour can be seen in this case.
