Still waiting on funds to clear... FML.
Buying a small chunk tomorrow. Let's break 200DMA.
Same problem with lots of micro caps. Undercapitalized when they are taken public, early shareholders have to pay for it. Still, Stevia Corp. has impressive revenues and they are growing. Long term hold here.
Lots of accumulation happening the last few months. It's ready.
We're coming for that 200DMA.
$0.50? That's it???
Lots of accumulation since our bottom last year. This thing is ready to run.
They don't typically PR until they have something tangible to share. The cannabidiol PRs were about as speculative as they get in PRs, but they were stating that they had filed patents, which again goes to show they typically only share action.
The two major reasons for the price decline in the last 12 months have been A) the bursting of the "marijuana stock" hype bubble, and B) financing notes that were cashed in and had a dilutive effect on our share price.
Our price has been relatively stable since the heaviest part of that dilution ended, and we still remain as one of the only revenue-producing companies with operations in the hemp/CBD space. Our core business is on pace to grow more than 50% this year (Q4 ends at the end of March), regardless of what our RealHemp & HighCBD ventures produce. By all means, the value of this company has increased, but the price has not reflected it yet.
$STEV on pace to outperform $WFCF in revenues.
Coke Life is everywhere in California. Let's get some PRs.
For DD, start here:
http://jonathancraig.org/5-reasons-invest-stevia-corp-otcqb-stev/
& also read the introduction box on this forum. Lots of DD has been put together by long-term shareholders.
Not sure where you found that piece of information, but Stevia Corp. hasn't changed their focus, they have just expanded their operations. Farm management is still the company's core business and generates much of their revenues. Next is aquaculture, which they farm using the byproduct of their growing operations. Then come hemp and cannabidiol, which are still in development stages.
Sure, we are expecting follow through on several operations:
-Updates on the 50% larger stevia harvest
-A large Q4 statement with another year of revenue growth
-New aquaculture developments & possible joint ventures
-Updates on HighCBD patent licensing and partnerships for formulations & delivery system
-Updates on RealHemp commercial sales & deals
-The launch of the RealHempStore.com online retail store
This play has been a long-term hold for several iHub users and we've been doing lots of DD to occupy our time -- I recommend reading everything in the sticky messages and iBox. Profit on this one may take some patience, but it's one of the rare penny stocks actually producing revenues.
Our CEO is very selective about what he shares, so there is no guarantee for any of these updates except for the large Q4 statement this summer. That said, they have historically announced noteworthy partnerships (Darden Restaurants in 2014), so we can hope for some of those before the quarterly.
I think STEV has been wrongfully lumped in with the other MJ, hemp, and CBD stocks because of its price, and people are hesitant to throw their money in after last year's bubble popped.
To me, though, this is not a hype or typical penny stock play. This is a straight up value investment, and they can take years to mature. I ran a screener this morning for companies producing between $1M and $10M in annual revenues, and most companies have enterprise values over $50M in this range. Stevia Corp. has an enterprise value of $15M. Clearly undervalued, yet investors are afraid of the company because it is so small and because of last year's MJ bubble. It's only a matter of time before wiser investors realize the opportunity here.
There is a good chance we have a breakout of over $10M in annual revenues once our Q4 is posted, and it's only a matter of time before the PPS catches up. Even with the dilution that has happened over the last year, our O/S is relatively low and a profitable Q4 may give us our first positive EPS, which means we would also start showing up on stock screeners set for P/E (and we would better attract the value investors).
TLDR: This investment requires patience.
Expecting a big spring harvest, and many more hemp and CBD developments when George has the time and resources to devote to RealHemp and HighCBD this summer.
Our revenues have already been increasing with demand for stevia, and will increase again with our 50% bigger harvest. There are limitations to our revenue growth though -- namely the capital required to expand the farming operations (which George explained in the CC was the reason for some of the dilution in the last 12 months). The second is competition, as there are bigger private companies growing stevia that have more market share. George has been smart to expand to aquaculture production as well, though, and is able to use the excess stevia as feed when it is not in demand by large distributors.
I think the biggest boon will be the mass marketing of Coke Life and Pepsi True, which will tout stevia. More recognition for the sweetener will help us in the long run given the name of our company.
This is where the information comes from:
http://www.stevia.co/corporate/management
"Signed a contract to supply stevia leaf to PureCircle..."
and it is well known at this point that PureCircle supplies Coke and Pepsi.
You be the judge!
Ken should head up development for it. He is the only man with experience enough for the job!
Where are the revenues?
Interesting tweets here... I wonder who else Stevia Corp. connected with at Natural Products Expo West? I know George mentioned chili peppers in the conference call. What else are you growing, sir?

There was a stock market bubble that formed around marijuana stocks. Most of them ended up being scams, and people pulled their money out of pretty much all of them.
Stevia Corp. still remains as one of the only stocks from that bubble that is making revenues and growing each year.
The future is sweet.
LONG LIVE THE STEVPACK.
I just assumed the 5th was the delivery system. 4 CBD + 1 delivery system = 5 opportunities to make some serious money.
63 patent claims between the 4 CBD patent applications:
"Our four provisional patent applications include 63 claims in total..."
Source: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/stevia-corp-files-two-additional-120000489.html
And several more for the delivery system. Buckle up!
Today's PR is a bigger game changer than ANY of the previous patents.
"Mr. Blankenbaker concluded, "We have also included many other existing generic drugs as part of our claims incorporating the delivery technology. We believe we will be able to quickly develop a prototype of this delivery system and potentially generate licensing opportunities.""
Wow.
Let's get some big PRs behind those big buys and we are going to push big price changes!
Did not expect to break $0.08 today. Hot damn.
ATDF 1M shares at $0.071 bid. This thing is moving up. Hope you guys have some reserves to break $0.09.
Nice.
We're good! Stay strong!!!
Took a little longer than I thought to head back up. We should be on our way to the $0.09 resistance, no?
STEV STRONG.
Awfully quiet these days.
Just need people to get off their butts and start sharing with the investing world what they see in this company.
Go out and find them. No more waiting idly for something to happen. This lazy attitude must end.
If you were in any other kind of business, owned any other kind of product, and expected to sell it, you wouldn't hide it in your closet and wait for someone to ask about it. You would actively seek buyers and raise interest in your product. This is a stock MARKET after all, if you want to sell something in a market you need to create some interest.
Be proactive. What is your specialty? What are your capabilities? Can you gain a million followers on social media and share this company's news? Can you comment on a thousand blogs about stevia, hemp, penny stocks, small cap stocks, investing, trading... (the list of keywords is endless) linking back to this company? Can you send out a hundred e-mails to traders, investors, hedge fund managers, and stock market "reporters," telling them to put STEV on their radar? Some of these concepts are pretty basic and it's time the "STEVpack" longs start putting in the work.
I work 12+ hours a day and still find 30-60 minutes to devote to these activities -- I have for months. I don't have a fancy newsletter like "pennystockextreme" (who, incidentally, brought no buyers to STEV and had no effect on our PPS). All I have is a few simple actions that I can take every day to slowly raise awareness over time.
If you want to make some money buying and selling STEV, ask yourself what you've done to earn it.
$15.5M buys you $7M in assets, $6M in annual revenues (not including the 50% increase for the current FY). Hell of a deal.

It's all about marketing. "Stevia" is right on the bottle, and you are investing in a company called "Stevia Corp." The more awareness, the better.
This is especially important if someone does a Google search for "stevia" or "invest in stevia."
Saw a massive Coca-Cola Life display in a Los Angeles Target yesterday. An entire shelving unit, cans and bottles. Insane.
More eyes on STEV than last year's run.
