CORONA, Calif., Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in custom vending machines, automated retailing business opportunities, and self-service kiosks, announced that they were recommended by MSN Money as one of the top stocks to watch in 2014.

AVT is one of the largest and most reliable publically traded companies providing products to the new marijuana industry, and has a proven track record of over 10-years of continuous growth.

"We have a variety of innovative systems that we provide to the legal marijuana industry," said James Winsor, CEO of AVT, Inc.
