Stevia Corp (STEV)

[sparkholiday]

On one hand, things like "consultation services" make me nervous, because those are sorts of places in which shady nepotism is free to run amok. On the other hand, and what I believe is the case here, it can also mean you're gearing up for one hell of a website launch. Anybody still remember the Marvin Traub deal, and all the talk of their involvement with In the Soup? This might be a stupid question, but I've been here a long time and don't recall any talk of there being a possible connection between Traub and Real Hemp, and this seems likely to me. There are a LOT of hemp products out there right now, both online and in vitamin stores (if you can catch them on the shelves, as hemp protein seems to be flying off them like crazy), but it doesn't seem as if anybody's managed to properly brand and advertise hemp products yet. Seems like a good opportunity for both STEV and Traub to try and do so. We have a lot of pieces to the puzzle here, but with the way they've been treating this site launch, I have a feeling that something massive is going to be unveiled when it goes live. As awesome as the stevia plant is, it doesn't really light the world on fire in terms of branding. But hemp certainly does, and right now it has the power to really hit the ground running with the right advertising behind it.
