Growing is only one part of the hemp supply chain and happens to be one of the parts illegal in the US. RealHemp is currently focused on wholesale and retail of hemp products, and development of CBD IP. They have connections to Purdue and the HIA, both of which are involved in educational test trials for growing hemp, and Stevia Corp. owns IP related to farm management, which means that as soon as growing is legalized in the US, Stevia Corp. can immediately begin licensing its farm management system and growing. There are few, if any, companies better suited for this quick transition, but until the legal climate changes the company is focused on revenue producing operations.
May be sooner rather than later if they are working with Purdue and the HIA.
I'm excited for what's coming. Hope the positive price momentum keeps up until we get the updates.
Nice bump today on no news. Financials and product launches incoming!
Agreed. 50% leaves us under $0.10 still, but 2700% like THCZ leaves us in dollar land. Even a fraction of what happened with THCZ after their "big announcement" of launching products is going to create some serious wealth here. We have more products in development than they did, and we have real (and growing) revenues that they don't have. Just waiting for IR to release the information at this point.
This should be a great week.
Right there with you, brotha. Ribbit ribbit.
I just assume Ludo is lying or embellishing -- based off all of his previous posts. Why are you taking that post so seriously?
Give it a few weeks, let's see how this month pans out.
Cool, thanks for sharing. Does this include the annual report, or is it annual report +3? You may not have asked, but nice to hear they are going to share some things with us.
Indeed, George or one of our new advisors would be great.
Ken should make a statement.
Would be great to have Ken confirm our supply relationship with PureCircle and talk about how it's evolved over time. We are too focused on hemponomics right now.
Probably not without paying them for coverage, but you should send DD and try to get people interested.
You got me excited for a second!
From that link: “Mr. Kaelin's appointment is timely as we begin to develop the market for our aquaculture production, which we expect to be in full gear by next year,” said George Blankenbaker, Stevia Corp. president, in a press release.
They hit that mark, as that statement was made in 2013 and in 2014 they announced they were supplying Darden Restaurants.
Last year the 10K came out on July 15, when do you have it coming out? Earlier would be amazing, haha.
It's hard to compare STEV to a peer group because some of the other stevia companies are still in "development stage," aren't producing revenues, and are difficult to appraise (because they are mostly worthless).
According to Yahoo sectors, Stevia Corp falls into the sector "Consumer Goods" and in the industry "Farm Products." Consumer Goods is trading at an average of 14 P/E, and Farm Products at an average of 12.5.
If STEV earns even $0.01 per share in the annual report, it would currently be trading at a P/E of 4. Waiting for that annual report to verify valuation. If my calculations are right, $0.01 EPS would require just over $2M in profits.
All of the "pumpers" aka longs communicate via e-mail now and are having the same conversations about fundamentals they were having a year ago. This forum is a circus.
The current share price makes THIS debenture from 12/30/2014 essentially worthless:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1439813/000116552714000737/g7704.txt
First monthly payment is due this week. The debenture includes warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares at $0.12. Looks like the "Purchaser" is gonna be long here as well.
Could explain why management has held off on tangible updates until now -- they need to raise the share price and make good on this offering if they want to continue raising money in the future.
Lol, are you still holding? You pessimist!!
The backpacks look awesome.
Ooo, shiny.
Got a mailer for this one. Sorry for the bagholders.
Because we've had no PRs confirming supply agreements or other tangible developments.
Lol, it's a fitting nickname.
It's posted on the Rubber Killer page and shared by RealHemp. I'll reach out to Rubber Killer for details if you don't want to.

Lol, for raw, itchy, irritated skin. Cool packaging though, the RealHemp guys have some skills.
LOL I like the rustic look, though.
We are all broke as shit!
George Blankenbaker quoted here: https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/csa/articles/60/6/4
Agreed.
Seriously. Everyone on this board is going to have a nervous breakdown before they ever make a dollar on STEV.
Just wow. Penny stock world.
Ken is inept.
I do hold shares. In general, I am optimistic but very critical. I would probably feel better if Ken or George responded to e-mails, especially since I don't attack them via e-mail like I'm sure some shareholders here do.
I don't mean to gloat but I put just as much money into Stevia Corp. as I was willing to lose, so even if the share price drops to $0.0001 because of management's decisions, I can walk away and chalk it up to an expensive lesson learned. I feel very bad for the shareholders here who invested more than they could afford to lose, and I hope the share prices goes up a million percent (or even 2700% like TH*Z) so everyone could walk away with a little cash in their pocket having learned from this experience.
To clarify, none of these statements mean that the company is doing anything illegal -- or that they won't share some major updates in the next 60 days that excite the financial market and raise the share price. These are just the only decisions made by management that have been shared with us, this is the narrative they seem to want for their company.
All of the PRs and filings are timed and calculated. Ken and George knew exactly what they were doing by registering RealHemp LLC last year, pumping up the share price, and using all of the capital they raised during their hemp pump and massive dilution/share dump to fund totally unrelated stevia and aquaculture operations. A year later they've PRed a dozen intangible (and sometimes false) hemp updates to keep bagholders on the hook (so the share price doesn't totally crater) and in the meantime they've tripled the A/S and suggested that they're going to now split the hemp operations into a new public company (even though they used the "hemp operations" to raise capital for stevia operations).
By splitting the company into two, they are going to create another ponzi scheme situation where RealHemp, which should have been funded by capital raised during the pump/hype PR period, has actually received very little capital. All of the current and new shareholders will have to carry the misappropriation of capital because RealHemp will still be undercapitalized and will need to continue raising funds for expansion by diluting shares -- all of this is a result of the stevia ponzi scheme that required Ken and George to pump and dump "hemp operations" and use the capital to keep the stevia dream alive.
Clearly it's a coordinated effort between Ken and George.
I respect the RealHemp guys and I think they have the potential to do some really great things, but they inherited a really bad situation with Stevia Corp. and I'm sure they have felt the pain of that over the course of the last year. With a few more developers and sales reps on staff they could have locked in bulk hemp sales, built a website, and launched products on Amazon in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, all of the resources Ken and George have conspired to raise by teasing hemp operations are being directed towards rollover liabilities and expansions for stevia operations.
I have no inside information, but Ken has pretty clearly shared this narrative with shareholders in his PRs and filings this last year.
