Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (NASDAQ:GMCR)

market dominance in single cup distribution, strong management, stable expansion plan into new geographic areas, commitment to community sustainabllity and development, excellent employee relations practices.

With so few well performing stocks out there these days, isn't GMCR still one of the best options around?

Way overvalued. $3 Billion? Have not had positive operating cash flow in at least three years. Granted, they have just acquired DDRX, who also never has had positive operating cash flow either so that's bound to help but even so..........

I believe GMCRs move to buy Diedrich will consolidate their position as a major player in the coffee industry. I think coffee is recession proof. Unemployed people may cut back on Starbucks but still drink coffee.

GMCR showed it was willing to defend its moat and secure future profits with the Diedrich acquisition. It may look expensive now to some, but will look brilliant a year from now.

The K-Cup is the new wave of Coffee at home and work, and will become dominant in the years to come.

this ship has sailed

With a new acquisition,they have diversified themselves and raised outlook will help overall price in a short term.Long term it is too pricey.It will need a few more catalysts.I am not looking to marry this stock I am planning a max of 6 weeks and a return of approx.10%

Green Mountain Coffee has not hit its peak yet. It still has room to grow. It has a small company feel with dedicated owners and excellent products with big company profits

This account tracks the fast-growing shakers and movers and some of the riskier stocks on my watch list.

I dont see the cash flow supporting this.
200 mil equity with mkt cap of 2.8 bln ?
in order to grow they will need to rais capital isnt ?
why all the insiders sell ?

I would be selling into earnings in November. While this is a great company and their growth rate is higher than almost any publicly traded company in existence, it still trades at 56.9x (as of today 10/1/09) earnings even after today's 4.12% selloff and has run up to an all time high before today. Take your profits, wait for the stock to get to 50x earnings by the time they report next quarter, and monitor the conference call for any signs of slowing down. Stocks that trade as high p/e as this one are extremely risky when earnings are reported; one bad quarter and down down down it goes. Given how bad the economy has been, I would take the profits. If earnings are great in November, then start rebuying. But with no new brewers in the mix and the company's focus on integrating GMCR/Keurig with Tully's and making the brand a national company, this earnings report will be critical, and I would be taking profits into the quarter. Another option is to sell enough shares to take back your original dollar investment and only have the leftover shares going into earnings, that way if they continue to blow out you still catch it while limiting your downside risk on your original investment.

Company is in growth mode. It continues to expand its product line and distribution capacity. The company is "green". Most important, the products it sells are of the highest quality and taste great!

will not grow into this PE. Go ahead, keep fooling yourselves while you're standing there in the crocs you bought when crocs was flying high.

It certainly makes sense that this small Vermont coffee roaster's market cap is only slightly under Del Monte's. *syke*

Get with the program Coffee is king and this is Mc Coffee can not a loss take

My dad bought one of these and it's really been a great thing. I usually have 1-2 cups of hot cocoa every day, made by it. I really like it because it's quick, and it makes great hot chocolate.

Great track record. Growing rapidly.

Try a cup and taste for yourself.

The company continues to grow and with a new Plant in TN, the mail orders will continue to increase. Wal Mart distribution maximized.

There was some concern about insider trading. Only 10% of the owners portfolio has been sold in the last two years. Looks like dollar cost averaging for the 400K shares sold. Good for him.

Good for those that picked them up before the Stock split in June 09.

Not the first time. PE though high will improve in time.

I'll continue to buy when the price is right.

2 miles to GMCR and Ben and Jerry's!

I'm CRAZY about this pick....
