Lots of negative press the past week on suger in kids cereal (Which report) and kids food (suger content of Farley Rusks is 29%). Article on that in The Times today). Can only help the sales team present the benefits of PURE to help these potential customers overcome negative PR and tune it into a positive with natural products to counter the issue.

news of deals with Nabisco Kelloggs etc would make me buy in again.

[foodcritic] 01/5/2009 14:14

Sleveen I agree, I have no problem with taking profits and did at so 220 before the dip as was 100% at that point. Very suprised at the onward charge just because of no real news (contracts). Still, not complaining as still have substantial amount at now very low average.

[sleveen] 01/5/2009 14:02

no argument with that theory but PURE are due a breather IMHO.

MARKET RULES: SELL LOSERS and LET WINNERS RUN
Searching the Universe for Solid Investment Theories



In the late 1800s, Daniel Drew proposed that investors 'Cut your losses and let your profits run.' This forever after became one of the most commonly quoted theories for investors. Most consider it a sound concept; in fact, it is one of the most important understandings an investor can have about the stock market.

OK, hands up, I have taken some profits, but there is lots of buying going on.

SSE09: Exploring the Evolving Stevia Market
04/28/2009
SECAUCUS, N.J.-Once just a humble plant in South America, stevia has emerged in the last year as the newest option in the sweetener toolbox, particularly as formulators turn to combinations of ingredients to deliver optimal taste profiles. Robert McQuate, GRAS Associates, took time out at SupplySide East to not only look at the evolution of the alternative sweetener industry, but project what may lie ahead for the newest entrant.

One of the major issues now confronting both suppliers and producers is the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status of stevia, stevia-derived compounds and, particularly, isolated rebaudioside A (Reb A); producers are also continuing to grapple with the issue of consumption levels and assurances of safety, as well as the necessity to understand chemical composition. McQuate noted there are major product development initiatives underway beyond just the beverage aisle, expanding into dairy, cereal and confectionery, with a "flood" of new products expected by 2010. Further, technological advances including enzymatic modification of stevia (to enhance taste and sweetness qualities) and a host of flavor initiatives will continue to expand the profile of the sweeteners. McQuate concluded there is great potential ahead, provided the industry "maintain a strong emphasis on production of high purity stevia-derived sweeteners while preserving strict quality control procedures."

ref, Spread bit to wide for most. It is a bit quiet here though. Longterm for me too :)

Great run in the shares. Could well be time for a pull back before another kick on. Just a bit worried that it may be a while before some concrete figures come out which might cause the shares to drift a while having had such a great run. Afterall, the market cap is now almost £300m which is quite punchy given that there is still something of a "concept stock" air to the shares. Still, I'm a lousy trader and love the long term story so am holding on. Plus, as and when the shares shift to the main market there will be a whole new market of institutional investors that can then get interested who can't at the moment.

By the way, that Donut fella from a few weeks back has well and truly lived up to his name. Gone a bit quiet now hasn't he?!

Thanks nurdin, interesting re coke and the approval in France. Looking good this morning.

[nurdin] 07/4/2009 09:56

Thats the one!! Many thanks indeed.

This could be a huge and a ready made market for PURE once France approves the use of Reb-A.

cheers
