If you feel lost trying to figure out how GreenGro Technologies Inc. (INKW) has performed over the past year, you’re not alone. In this article, I’ll walk you through exactly what happened with INKW’s share price over the past 12 months. You’ll see real numbers, get a sense of volatility, and hear expert and (occasionally embarrassing) real-life takes. Whether you’re a total beginner, someone looking into penny stocks as a curiosity, or just contemplating “should I have bought this dip?”, you’ll find direct answers and a few detours along the way.
For context, INKW is an OTC penny stock, so it’s inherently volatile and lightly traded. Things can get weird fast—trust me, I’ve been burned by similar “opportunities” before (hello, 2017 crypto mania). If you’re hoping for a fairy tale, well, keep the tissues handy.
Let’s rip the band-aid: INKW has seen dramatic drops and only flickers of hope. According to Yahoo Finance historical data and OTC Markets, INKW spent most of the last year oscillating between $0.001 and $0.004 per share. In late June 2023, it was sitting at around $0.0035. By mid-June 2024, it plummeted near $0.0012 (yeah, less than half a penny). Volatility? Oh, it’s there—a tiny trade can bump the price 20%, easy.
Here’s a rough chart (grabbed from Yahoo’s charts, and double-checked with my own trading notes):
First off—pull up a 1-year price chart. I used Yahoo Finance and TradingView (my go-tos for penny stocks because their granularity is decent) and even a few screenshots from my old Robinhood account to make sure my numbers lined up. I wanted to get a handle on average volume too—if no one’s buying, the price can move on a whim, which actually happened back in February this year.
One afternoon in March, after watching INKW’s volume spike from a typical 2M shares to 20M, I thought, “maybe someone knows something!” Well, the next day, volume cratered, and the price didn’t budge. Turns out, it was mostly day-trader churn. A lesson: penny stocks will make you paranoid.
Across July 2023–July 2024, INKW’s price action can be summarized like this (rounded for sanity):
You'll find more details on OTC Markets historical charts for backup. Volatility for penny stocks is typically measured using standard deviation, but with INKW, a single $1,000 trade (seriously, fifteen bucks would’ve bought 10,000 shares some days) could swing the ticker 20–30%. If you want “steady growth,” you’re in the wrong place!
Curious if all penny stocks are this nuts? I called up a friend who’s been trading oddball tickers for years. “They’re all wild, but ones with ‘renewable,’ ‘tech,’ or ‘cannabis’ in the description are the worst for sucker rallies,” he said.
Stock | Ticker | Low | High | YTD Change | Avg Daily Volume |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
GreenGro Technologies | INKW | $0.0012 | $0.0038 | -62% | 2M–15M |
Cyberlux Corporation | CYBL | $0.0008 | $0.0039 | -45% | 5M–60M |
As you can see, this is pretty standard for the sector.
I came across an OTC Markets interview with David T. Baker, an analyst who covers small-cap and micro-cap stocks. He put it plainly: “Low float, low liquidity stocks can show 100%+ swings in a single day. Volume is the tell, not PRs. If you’re new, tread carefully.” Couldn’t agree more. INKW fits that bill—every time there’s even a whisper of news, price “spikes” vanish as quickly as they appear.
To demonstrate that penny stock wildness isn’t just an American phenomenon, I compared US “verified trade” standards (applies to “Pink Current” designation at OTC Markets) with rules in Canada and the EU. See the table below:
Country | Standard Name | Legal Basis | Authority |
---|---|---|---|
US (OTC) | Pink Current Information | SEC Rule 15c2-11 | OTC Markets / SEC |
Canada | Venture Exchange Listing Policy | TSXV Policy Manual | TSX Venture Exchange |
EU | Transparency Directive 2013/50/EU | EU Law | European Securities and Markets Authority |
When INKW is “current,” you at least know the company files basic info—a step up from absolute mystery—but nowhere near SEC-level transparency. In Europe, companies need to publish extensive quarterly disclosures or risk being suspended. More controls = less circus, usually.
Simulated case: A Canadian acquaintance bought shares in a similarly tiny agritech firm on the TSX-V. They got booted for not updating quarterly filings, causing the stock to plummet—not unlike what can happen when INKW’s status lapses. It’s a global issue.
To sum up, INKW spent the last year on a downward slide with bursts of (usually false) hope. It’s volatile, lightly regulated, and heavily subject to rumor and tiny volume swings. If you’re considering buying INKW now, realize that most speculators lost money this year—unless you caught those razor-thin spikes and bailed quick. This isn’t a “set-and-forget” investment; it’s more like spin-the-wheel trading.
For next steps, if you absolutely must dabble in INKW or similar OTC stocks, make sure you watch real-time volume, keep sell orders tight, and rarely risk more than a day’s coffee money. For a more stable portfolio, consider regulated exchanges and stocks with at least $1 minimum share price. Want to learn more about the regulatory quirks?

Personally, I’ll be sitting out of INKW unless there’s a major turn in fundamentals. And yes, I still cringe about those penny stocks I chased in 2020. Learn from my bruises!
