I will run with it until whatever news or results land and reassess then.

Subject of course to what the markets do in general !

Always been a fan of crowd free buses myself :)

History repeated itself for this spike, so will it also repeat itself for a retrace? Promised myself I'd bank a few next time it suddenly spiked like this, as it has fallen back on such spikes before (and I always missed the chance to bank some profit). But all those director buys are making me thing thrice about doing that. (although my money is still on a retrace to just above 300p by end of the month)

Ok so its only three of us on this bus ride, still the view is getting good up here in the hills

Make that three. Been holding these for about 2 years having first bought around 80p during the madness that was mid 2011, and topped up a few times along the way and again recently on the day of the recent results.

I like the look of the potential here, and I think it will only take a single major contract with one of the big players to see these take off. Of course you can never be sure that such a contract will ever emerge, but I must say that the insane level of director buying in the past 6 months has done wonders for reassuring any doubts I had. (since Oct 1st 2012 directors have bought over 7M shares at an average of around 240p. And both times doing so almost immediately after the results when the closed period ended. And never a bad thing to see directors backing-up their confident words with the contents of their wallets!).

Felix, at least there are two of us! Lets hope for continued progress

been following for a while - bought quite a few after all those director purchases.

I reckon / my guess is that Coke/Pepsi going to launch a stevia branded version of coke/pepsi rather than messing around with their other minor brands?

Nice rise of late - does noone else follow?
Further press comment this am re manufacturers fizzy drinks and calling into question their sugar content

Ever get the feeling the share price is being held back to allow directors to fill their buy orders?

If I remember correctly, the same thing happened here before back in November, and was followed by a quick spike to 280+ before falling back just as quick to where it came from. Wonder if history will repeat itself?

thanks...........found it

[casper_j] 08/3/2013 16:17

its all over the news just google sprite UK. Also on the Coke website

[cnx] 08/3/2013 12:26

casper, where did you read or hear about the sprite news?

do you have a link?

thanks

The news on Sprite in the UK is massive and the price has not really moved. One of Coke's main products in a major market is going to have 30% stevia and pure is the supplier. And lets not forget France. The sales numbers for Jan - Jul 2013, will surely set a rocket under the shareprice

just arrived in uk in time to watch an advert for "tropicana 50" a fruit juice made with styvia sweetener,and said to have 50% less calories than sugar. no mention of PURE but will read the blurb on the packaging when at supermarket.

From Seeking Alpha

3:52 PM The USDA is out with 160 pages of proposed new regulations which will attempt to guide schools into offering fewer sugary snacks on their campuses. Industry watchers think that a good portion of the nation's schools have already enacted at least some of the suggested nutritional guidelines including kicking out soda (KO, PEP, DPS) from vending machines

US: Southeast stevia acreage expected to increase

Stevia production at commercial and research sites in both Georgia and North Carolina was so successful that Sweet Green Fields Inc., a primary supplier of stevia to the food and drink industry worldwide, has announced plans to expand commercial production in the Southeast.

In 2012, Sweet Green Fields worked with grower partners in Georgia and North Carolina to produce the first commercial stevia crops in the Southeast U.S.

They also planted test plots of the crop with the support of the Georgia and the North Carolina Departments of Agriculture, along with the Colleges of Agriculture from land grant universities in both states.

PURE downgraded to hold by Numis today.

Strange given the positive trading update so assume they had already factored this into their valuation (which is unchanged at 270p).

Anyway, I got this from a site called Broker Forecasts.
