Agreed, Amish. Based on the last two days, the website isn't going to have any substantial whiz-bang effect on its own. The market is tired of websites, and upon launch I'm not certain that investors will care whether this site is a glorified Wordpress-hosted piece of comedy or a well orchestrated marketplace for hemp products; it's a website, and ho-hum to whatever that looks like. Maybe. Or maybe a truly fantastic site will prove to the market that the STEV folks are really onto something with this new brand of theirs; I'd love to be proven wrong.
But we really need a solid PR, something confirming one of those Big Deals out there that have slowly fallen from the minds of those circling the MJ sector. Pennypacker would say that this isn't an MJ company at all, and he'd be entirely right, but that doesn't change the fact that it's MJ investors' eyes that are on STEV at the moment. If we get a name on that Fortune 500 gig, it'll be the MJ investors who'll hear about it first, and it'll be the MJ investors who will get the word out to the others in the back-slums of IHUB and Twitter. Maybe George and his wizards are fully aware of this. It wouldn't be a bad idea to send a major non-MJ PR out on the day that all the MJ gurus are watching the PPS, waiting for the hemp site to go live.
It's a call from the gut, no evidence to back this one up whatsoever (and my gut may be completely sideways and incoherent with desperation), but I do feel that we'll see a major PR tomorrow morning. The fact that we didn't even get the standard OTC Announcement of Financing Successfully Acquired when we hit the 194mm share mark seems to say that STEV isn't dicking around with anything small before their blitzkrieg.
Fingers crossed, fellas.
