I hate to say that this stock will underperform the market, because I own it in real life.The bad: Smoothies are a fad that came and went in California. A hardcore group of customers drink Jamba Juice on a daily or weekly basis, but its constituency isn't nearly as dedicated nor as large as the customer base at other fast food chains.The good: Fruit prices this summer are expected to fall, which will help Jamba's bottom line.

Wrong. Smoothies have been around since the 60's at least. Smoothie King started in the late 60's. They have continued to gain in popularity. Certainly not a fad.and...Wrong. From what I could tell, fruit prices went up over the summer.This stock is a great pick at the current price for many, many reasons not the least of which is that Nestle has taken them under their enormous, condor-like wing and because, of late, it has been unjustly beaten to a pulp (bad pun).

I disagree also, because here in Las Vegas, JMBA, just opened 3 MORE stores. The store at UNLV is so packed that the people are coming over to the one in my neighborhood. grrrrrr. haaha. (1/4 mile away). Let me tell you, when summer arrives in Las Vegas and it's 110-120, these stores will be jumping! Just bought a few hundred more shares after sitting and listening to people talk while in the store. As my financial adviser always told me, invest in what YOU buy. Research for YOURSELF, don't listen and follow blindly like the rest of the masses. CarolRose........Out!!!!
