I'd be curious to know what aquaculture will do for year-round revenue. Your thoughts?
I've been holding on to this $25 Olive Garden gift card for like 3 years -- finally stopped in last night and had some wine & stevia-fed shrimp. Delicious! =P
Would love to get some .04s. Lol.
I got a mailer for this today. $50M market cap for something with no revenue is very disturbing. Short.
Let me think on that. I like the wording, but I think there is great value to keeping it pretty dumbed down, too, for people like Minster.
That is simply not true. I think OTC stocks aren't making it past most people's screeners.
If investors here want the PPS to rise, they need to share some of STEV's information with as many other investors as possible. The link to PureCircle and Coke Life/Pepsi True, as well as Darden Restaurants, are huge. People here seem to be focused on CBD and hemp, which will certainly have their day, but we are also allowing some pretty MAJOR developments in the stevia side of the company get lost in the fold.
I propose we focus on the stevia component of the company and spreading the word on all of our relationships until we have confirmed orders and revenues from the CBD and hemp component. This will give us a firm base and allow us to be swept away with the stevia craze that is right around the corner.
Here's a Forbes article about Coke getting stevia Reb M from PureCircle.

Is it possible they get Reb M from PureCircle, and Reb A or another extract from Cargill?
Of course, these companies wouldn't share their formulas, but I'd be curious to know if they are getting different stevia extracts from different companies. I'd imagine they have quite the demand for stevia.
PureCircle supplies Coke and Pepsi.

As of 2009, Stevia Co. was supplying stevia leaf to PureCircle.
Just need to swap out the Red Lobster logo on that infographic, it looks like.
Double post, my bad.
Thanks for the update, will fix.
FYI, from Wikipedia:
In 2012, PureCircle announced a joint development agreement with the Coca-Cola Co. to investigate new forms of stevia and to provide stevia for future beverage products.[4] In 2013 the company said it would be providing provide a new high-purity Rebaudioside M sweetener (Reb M) for the production of Coca-Cola Life in the United Kingdom, United States, and other countries starting in 2014.[5][6]
I agree with your points here. The only reason I bring up the average industry P/E is to further prove that STEV is ready for a correction. I'm very curious to see what happens after our EPS is updated and STEV starts to show up on stock screeners for companies with positive P/E.
Thank you! A PR updating shareholders on this relationship would be key right now, given that Pepsi True is now available in the US, but I will take what I can get.
Does anyone have a quick link to the info connecting Stevia Co. to PureCircle? Thank you!
Stevia is listed under "Farm Products" here: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/3conameu.html
Current industry P/E is 17.70 -- down from 28 last I checked. Still would put $STEV at .1770, if all we did was meet the industry average. I believe Yahoo uses a TTM P/E, which means our positive EPS and P/E will not be reflected for another two quarters. I anticipate our EPS to be higher than .01 by that time, meaning a much higher PPS in order to meet the industry average P/E.
That sounds about right, per sector P/E.

Your opinion is incredibly valuable 'round these parts.
.06 would be nice. Discounted shares, just in time for the holidays!
I agree, that's why I think creating a private board might be valuable. We could still invite investors from this board as they show up, but something to help combat the trader spam would be nice.
Congrats on that long hold, that took some serious strong hands. I'd love to see more past plays like that to dissect them and better understand the way things things evolve in the long term.
I've taken the same approach as you because it works well with my personality. I'm attracted to the idea of owning a real company, and I prefer to take my time and really examine, re-examine, and continue re-examining the business over time, rather than trying to play really flashy PPS changes / hype.
Of course, hype is what will notch the PPS of STEV up over time, but if the business is what I understand it to be, I'd prefer to accumulate as much as possible before that starts to happen.
I want a board of investors who are interested in developments of the actual company, not PPS.
We need an invite-only investor board for STEV to share valuable information/strategies and rule out these idiots.
From Benjamin Graham's Teachings:
"Investing in stocks means dealing with volatility. Instead of running for the exits during times of market stress, the smart investor greets downturns as chances to find great investments. Graham illustrated this with the analogy of “Mr. Market,” the imaginary business partner of each and every investor. Mr. Market offers investors a daily price quote at which he would either buy an investor out or sell his share of the business. Sometimes, he will be excited about the prospects for the business and quote a high price. Other times, he will be depressed about the business’s prospects and will quote a low price.
Because the stock market has these same emotions, the lesson here is that you shouldn’t let Mr. Market’s views dictate your own emotions or, worse, lead you in your investment decisions. Instead, you should form your own estimates of the business’s value based on a sound and rational examination of the facts. Furthermore, you should only buy when the price offered makes sense and sell when the price becomes too high. Put another way, the market will fluctuate–sometimes wildly–but rather than fearing volatility, use it to your advantage to get bargains in the market or to sell out when your holdings become way overvalued."

It's possible, we'll have to see what they due with their profits.
They've warned about dilution in the past and have followed through and diluted, but the company is also entering another phase.
I think he's referencing the default disclaimer that you've seen on every financial statement.
Where do you think this volume is coming from?
Reminds me of PLUG.

Gonna take some serious balls to hold on for the full ride.
Waiting for money to clear, gonna pick up a good chunk later this week.
Anyone else seeing a symmetrical triangle?
Anyone else seeing a breakout starting this month, looking at the 6 and 12 month charts?
That is incredible. You should put that story in your signature so it's not lost in the shuffle.
Also, welcome aboard.
We had a few months of dilution this year as the company sold additional shares to raise capital so the company could expand their production base, that ended in September. Prior to that, the company had shown profitability and the CEO stated that "the process works, now it's a matter of scale."
The company's focus is cultivation of stevia and hemp in Vietnam. Stevia is sold to PureCircle, who supplies Pepsi. Leftover parts from stevia plants are fed to fish, which they sell to Darden (Red Lobster, etc.). 2015 will be another record Stevia harvest, as well as tons of information about where their current hemp harvest is being distributed.
There is LOTS of up-to-date information in the information tab on this forum, I'd recommend reading through all of that. This board has about 10 investors regularly digging through statements to find information and share it.
Financial statements do not look good. Sometimes, too much product diversification hurts a company, if they haven't nailed their fundamentals.
It's not love, it's intrigue. There's a huge difference. The investors on this board will stick around until they find their ideal exit (after massive profits), or until the company shows signs of weakness. But price action is not weakness. The underlying security is what's important. Low prices simply mean discounted shares and larger positions for the investors here.
You don't understand these points because you're a gambler focused on price action, but the stock market is not a slot machine and this mindset will hurt you in the long run.
