I think we'll be fine, too.
I was planning on doing some backlink building for the retail store when it opens, anyway.
The only danger in releasing so many websites for the same company is splitting up backlinks. Links are a huge contributor to Google rankings, and if there are 10,000 links pointing to one domain that has company info, product info, and retail stores, the domain will rank higher than three domains that have ~3k links pointing to them.
Not sure that this will affect bottom line, since the company seems more focused on commercial deals (and those leads aren't generated from search engine results), but it's something to consider when thinking about retail/eCommerce.
Who here is letting go of shares before $1?
I love you all. Wish my funds would have cleared for more of the .06s but I'll take what I can get.
That oil money!!
It might happen earlier in 2015 than any of us were anticipating...
We were up 17% this morning on 75K volume, ~$5,000.
Not surprised by the big jump today, nor how little volume it takes to jump 17%... but I wish more cash would have cleared for me when we were in the .06s. Oh well!
Great quote. What are you reading? I've got Security Analysis on the way.
Interesting figures presented here. Looks like Stevia Corp. is maximizing their yields per acre, but this information leads me to plant bulk tonnage per acre. I'll keep digging this evening, but it would be nice to know the exchange rate on plant bulk to stevia extract, as I believe that 4,100 ton figure from 2013 is talking about the demand for extract.
Of course, none of this factors in aquaculture, which is a major boon. We just need to continue growing our production base.
"Stevia has enjoyed a rapid rise in popularity on a global scale over the past six years. Worldwide sales of stevia reached 4,100 tons in 2013, a 6.5% increase on 2012, taking its overall market value to $304 million, according to U.K.-based food and drink consultancy Zenith International."

Does anyone here know how much stevia plant it takes to produce 4,100 tons of stevia? Would be interesting to calculate how much of the market we capitalized on in 2014.
Double post. Damnit.
Sounds delicious!
Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's, uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich...
That $1.5B valuation for the other CBD companies would be nice. Just gotta reach $50M/year in revenue? No problem. =P
Stevia + Red Lobster
Knew I read this somewhere...
"The Company will also continue working with its aquaculture advisor, Andrew Kaelin and AIS Aqua Foods to further develop supply relationships with the Darden family of restaurants and Red Lobster. In line with this effort, the company continues to work on its expansion plans into South America and expects to establish shrimp and possibly fish production in Colombia in 2015 to serve both the US and European markets."

STEV strong.
Merry Christmas, you broke bastards! Let's make some money!
Wal-Mart and Trader Joe's. Have you heard of either company?
He needs to learn how to read balance sheets.
I'm not letting go of my shares for .28. Lol.
This PR is a wonderful Christmas gift.
Indeed. Hemp and CBDs are still operating in the speculative space for Stevia Co. until we see confirmed revenues. Stevia and aquaculture, on the other hand, have confirmed revenue and good YOY growth. Investors here would be better served sharing information with other investors about the relationships with PureCircle and Darden than the more speculative ideas about Hemp and CBDs (regardless of the potential of those ventures). This should change in 2015 according to PRs and George's good track record, but 2014 showed MAJOR progress in stevia agri- and aquaculture and those things are being lost in the fold.
Welcome aboard. Be sure to read all of the information in the board intro and then start reading PRs and financial statements. There are a bunch of long investors on this board who have a horizon of 2016 and beyond.
The future is sweet.
But they delivered. I think that's the important thing.
I want to double my position in STEV before traders realize that STEV is one of the only profitable companies operating in the hemp/MJ sector. Hype drives the financial markets and the hype for this company is going to be IN$ANE! There's a lot of money to be made for all of the longshoremen on this board!
The link is worth a read, if you haven't clicked it.
Nice pick ups, thanks for the SVMI look. STEV is a great one.
Information about this company is spread through a number of PRs. It's disparate information that isn't easy to put together, and easy to put together is exactly what most people need to be able to understand a thing.
The PPS will eventually rise, but it will take one (or a combination) of two things:
-Several clear and concise PRs that explain exactly what this company is doing and how big its clients are. This, to me, is not likely to happen any time soon. Whereas other CEOs like to take on the braggart role, fluffing up and boasting about every minor achievement they can, George's style seems to be to tease at things in PRs and then have those things fulfilled in financial statements. It's the "speak softly and carry a big stick" approach that frustrates the hell out of the short-term investors and speculators on this board.
-Outstanding financial statements will positively influence the PPS, but it will take far longer to develop. Investors are looking for years of profitability, and often dividends, to confirm their beliefs in a company. Because of this, a combination of PRs and financial statements could cause a major correction in PPS in the next few months, but an extremely long-term horizon is the only real way to approach an investment in this company.
Need.. More... Resources....
Short-term gains (gains on assets owned for less than one year plus one day) are taxed at your ordinary income tax rates. Long-term gains (gains on assets owned for at least one year plus one day) are taxed depending on your overall income tax bracket. If your overall income falls in:
-The 10% or 15% marginal income tax brackets, then your long-term capital gains tax rate is 0%.
-The 25%, 28%, 33%, or 35% marginal income tax brackets, your long-term capital gains tax rate is 15%.
-The 39.6% marginal income tax bracket, your long-term capital gains tax rate is 20%.

Not to mention, loss due to different tax rates on short vs. a long holds can dramatically outweigh the tax benefits of selling something at a loss.
At today's close, $13.9M gets you a company that produced $6.3M in revenue last year and currently has $3.1M in net tangible assets (including $310,000 cash).
Hell of a bargain.
Indeed. I've decided I'm going to spend some time this holiday break charting this information out so it's easier to understand from a visual standpoint.
I understand what I'm looking at there, it's exciting. Can't wait for more information about the programs.
Is this post-extract or raw stevia plant being fed to the fishies?
Exciting times. We're gonna sell the shit out of some fish.
George says about aquaculture, “Because of the longer growing cycle, the aquaculture production takes longer to establish, but ultimately we expect this to be our largest revenue contributor long-term.”
Thanks for the other references, been looking for more to study. Ben G for the win.
