But soda is still their flagship product, and using a sugar substitute that comes from a leaf and not from a lab — as do saccharin and aspartame — could be the key to revitalizing sales.

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090402/LIFE/904020326/-1/ENTERTAIN By RICHARD SOLASH COLUMBIA NEWS SERVICE April 02, 2009 6:00 AM Sprite Green is the latest addition to the world of Coca-Cola products, and its name refers not just to the color of the can or the beverage. This diet soda is green in a deeper sense, deriving its sweetness not from artificial saccharin or aspartame, but from a natural, zero-calorie sugar substitute that many experts believe is primed to take supermarket shelves by storm. It's called stevia, and since the Food and Drug Administration gave it its official blessing in December, some in the beverage industry have been hailing it as the Holy Grail of sweeteners. "This could be huge," said Daniel Fabricant, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs at the Natural Products Association, an advocacy and lobbying group. "Stevia is the only non-calorie, natural sweetener that has been approved as a food additive, which means that it can now be used in all conventional food products." That could mean a much-needed boost for Coke and Pepsi, whose cola sales have been slumping. With obesity skyrocketing and a natural lifestyle more fashionable than ever, many consumers have shied away from sugary drinks in favor of more healthful refreshment. In response, the beverage giants have devoted more attention to their water and juice lines.

I'm not convinced that that 100k late reported trade was a sell. Still good day for Pure creeping up to £2.00 I know very little about charts (well lots of things really) but barchart.com shows resistance as 196.6p so lets see how we go. If these were Director buys it shows massive confidence going forward.

Winsome good to get another Pure fan on board.

Huge trades going through assume they are buys but no sp movement either way.

http://www.spectator.co.uk/business/breaking-news/ Planet Payment raised from hold to speculative buy at Canaccord, target price remains 80p. http://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/1195/planet-payment-sees-first-quarter-revenue-up-90-pct-as-full-year-revenue-doubles-1195.html Broker Canaccord Adams issued a note on the company this morning, raising its stance to 'speculative buy' from 'hold', as it believes the share price has declined due to liquidity and growth concerns. It expects Planet payment to reach profitability in the second half of 2009 as a result of strong revenue growth and a cost reduction plan. so its not just me then!

Re the bid : They have to get that lawsuit out of the way before this sp can move significantly further.

Well it looks good to me, but clearly they are invisible as far the markety is concerned. Bear in mind they are at their 52wk low and can be bought for 40p. They are making money and lowering costs will hit profit soon and romp away or be bought out by Amex or the like. In my opinion of course. One for the future.

The Company looks forward to continued growth in 2009.

Further to the press release of 19 January 2009 regarding a possible offer, the Company has engaged RBC Capital Markets to conduct a strategic review which includes soliciting further interest in the Company and its assets (the ‘Process’). Prior to commencement of the Process the Company had discussions with several parties, one of which provided the Company with a non-binding, conditional written indication of interest at a level significantly in excess of the current market price. There is no certainty as to the terms and structure of any such transaction nor that an offer will be made for the Company as a result of the Process. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. Any further announcement will be made as soon as appropriate.

I hope you have since read the psqanalytics report and begun to form an opinion meanwhile Planet Payment says sees H1 revenue $14 million, up 105 pct 14-JUL-2008 07:47 LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Multi-currency payment and data processor Planet Payment Inc. said it expects its first-half revenue of about $14 million, up 105 percent over last year and that it expects strong revenue growth in the second half.

I'm a bit fed up so i'm going round Jacqui Smith's to watch a film. Apparently you're all paying. Hope they've popcorn.

Been out today and a bit surprised by events here. What happened at around 2.30 that caused the sp to fall ? Buys outweigh sells apparently although around 860k shares dealt today are unnacounted for on here. Thanks in advance
