Post-election panic selloff during tax loss season, more down side than up until the Q comes out, and they chose to do that forward split at a bad time IMO, the Charts are suggesting $34 a share is possible, but looking at the options data the professionals are expecting I think it was as low as $24 by Jan, I think it was! Also bar chart has em as 100% sell

Panic and fear buying for the serious investors I'd suggest a nibble at $34 if she drops more a bigger bite at $24, doubling at $14, and buy as many as you can if she makes it to $7.
Me personally the closer she gets to $34 between now and Nov 21st I'd buy there as most post-election fear clears off unless the Q is expected to be bad if that's the case LOOK out below intill March!
Thanx for the MNST info Mate, had to run to work and was already 15 mins late out the door when I posted
Yes 3:1 so for every 5 you have you now have 15 shares
Thanks did not see that .

Yeah they're paying ~ 3 dollars a can, that can thought
Citron Research says MNST $80 price target near-term
Inelastic Demand - As the Market is in a correction, Monster is holding steady because America's (and increasingly the world's) need for sweet tasting caffeine is almost insatiable. I work with a lot of people age 20-40 and they would rather cut down a loan payment or reduce their monthly savings in order to keep their Monster intake constant. I see these guys, especially the under 30's buy these cans 3-4 at a time each day. I've even seen smokers and chewers reduce their purchases of nicotine so they can keep guzzling the canned poison.
The progressive, ethical, humanist liberal in me screams no! But the capital gains minded, dividend-loving conservative in me says keep rolling with MNST until the entire world is full of wobbling diabetics in motorized wheel chairs sipping Monster products from Camel Backs (Which Monster should totally buy that company, then re-badge them with the "M"). "Brondo, it's what plants WANT!" - Idiocracy
We have Monster Energy/Boooze here in Canada, most likly Vodka based here but would have to check that MNST fact out
New market for Monster possible...
Monster in the late 90's pioneered an alcoholic Energy Drink branded as "Hard Energy", then "Hard E" after running afoul of US Government regulations in marketing a malt beverage as providing "Energy". "Hard E" didn't catch on, and Monster was in it's nascent stages re-branding from "Barton's", the company's previous moniker. I think Monster should re-visit that idea. A product now could bear any name and as long as it contained the claw/M somewhere on the can, it would be instantly recognizable and popular. The "Mike's Hard" line of beverages currently dominates this segment but I believe there is plenty of room for a Monster product in the field.
nice little run happening with MNST this last few weeks
MNST is just hopping good!
PLEASE KEEP YOUR POST ON MNST ONLY!!! THANK YOU
bottom feeding into the close today. this one will pop back up.
Sweet MNST broke $150 in after hours trading, up $10 in the last couple weeks
Outta here home run! MNST!
Yup looks like MNST is starting to gather steam again
MNST still on a bull run...
I understand. Wish you were though.
$MNST rocked today
I agree nothing wrong with capturing a profit, I was under the impression that you thought I still held all those MNST/HANS shares still and was just clarifying that was not the case
Should'a, could'a, would'a ..... I feel your pain but only wish I felt that pain more often. " Never a bad time to take some gain off the table " as they say.
I just wish I held rather than take my quick profit and run
WOW ! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU...... betting your one happy and comfortable camper after that one. Talk about a dream stock. I still think that Monster has some nice upside and like F/B also but I'm an amateur still looking for that one big kill.
I bought $52 000 dollars worth of HANS/MNST back in July/Aug of 2004
I'm sure there is, I'm still kicking myself for taking a quick 20% profit and running
More than a few if they bought " Hanson " back in '06. Damnnnnnn.
Monster should have stickied "The company that Anyone who invests in a startup dreams about" bet there is a early investor with a private island right now lol.
yes it sure is MNST is almost up $10 since June 9
solid bounce yesterday!
I'm not surprised at all
