Robert Brooke, the CEO of Stevia First, will not only give a business overview to attendees, but he will also be available for one-on-one discussions. Who could blame buyers of the stock from getting a little excited over the company gaining exposure at an investment conference?<\/p>\n<p>Traders, however, greeted the news in a less-than-enthusiastic manner. Outside of the opening trade at $0.71, which ended up as the high print of the day, the stock never saw another green moment for the remainder of the trading session. Before buyers had a chance to fully digest their breakfast, sellers drove share prices to an intraday low of $0.47. The 33% decline in the morning left a bad taste in the mouths of buyers who showed little appetite for shares during the rest of the trading day. The stock finished the session down 19 cents at $0.51 for a loss of 27%. Over 975,000 shares exchanged hands today compared to an average daily volume of 180,000.<\/p>\n<p>Last week the company\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/stevia-first-corp-licenses-fermentation-based-stevia-intellectual-property-from-vineland-research-and-innovation-centre-2012-08-29?siteid=bigcharts&amp;dist=bigcharts\" target=\"_blank\">released news<\/a> of its intellectual property license with Vineland Research and Innovation Centre located in Ontario, Canada. The agreement opens the door to fermentation technology that could significantly reduce the company&#8217;s cost of stevia extract production. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. This news sent traders into a buying binge with share prices tripling from $0.30 to $0.90 in a three-day span. The last five trading days has also seen some of the heaviest volume in months. The stock has traded over a wide range since it started to actively trade at the beginning of March this year with a high of $3.28 and a low print at $0.23. The question for traders to consider tonight is whether the pullback from last Friday&#8217;s high represents a natural digestion process after huge gains, or whether eating too many sweets so fast caused a loss of appetite for the natural sweetener producer.<\/p>\n<p>On August 29, 2012, Penny Stock Publisher touted the stock with a note about the licensing agreement: <em>&#8220;<\/em>Stevia First Corp. is seeking to establish a vertically-integrated stevia enterprise in the U.S. with expertise in stevia seed and tissue propagation, plant breeding, and cultivation.&#8221;<em>\u00a0<\/em>The promoter did not list receiving any compensation.
