Chart has fallen apart like rice paper...up on high volume down on low volume should be bullish...but not here seems like...
You are one stubborn long...no evidence Tbev can deliver on any promises...Asher gone is the first!
Why should they? The easy money is putting out PRs, selling stock, and going to Disneyland! Lol!
Too easy to extend that "promise' 2 months from now. All BS.
ASK blockers at .0022, less than 3 milly. Bids getting filled into the mysterious 10K blocks showing, 1 milly went off at .0021. Product? Big box? Let's get it going folks. Can't let Coke own the market. LOL TBEV.
You remain remarkably positive, and refreshing. Here's the sector news which, over time, will lite tbev past a dime IF and WHEN they deliver product to the market. It doesn't get much better than this for the energy drink segment: Coke getting up to 25% of Monster. Huge. Just huge.
10:43 AM EDT, 08/15/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Coca-Cola (KO) revealed in a media call on Friday an option to increase its stake in energy drinks company, Monster Beverage Corp. (MNST) to 25%, assuming board of director approval.
At the open, shares of MNST and KO were trading up 30% and 2%, respectively.
Monster Beverage surged to a new 52-week high on Thursday after it said Coca-Cola would acquire an approximately 16.7% position in MNST for $2.15 billion cash and appoint two directors to MNST's board
WWhere's the website? What's the executive summary?
True. But being stuck in this range is rather absurd. MNST getting lots of love bringing attention to the sector, but TBEV has no product, only promises of product. What a difference a production run would make or news about now...
Good grief is right. I'm done there.
...and if you can figure out why tbev can't hold a gain for a single day, let me in on it. Plus, every day it opens on a big down tick. Zup with that?
If you notice I post with the direction of the stock. Over the top exuburance when the stock is rising on 100 milly shares, and dark deathly depression when it is doing exactly the opposite. Bottom line, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere with all this volume, and I'll either stop posting or just stop watching and check in a few months from now.
Re-org. I'll take it. Either that, or the ticker and this board vanishing once and for all...forever. ASYI.
Asher out...then who the heck sold all this stock today? Million dollar question. Plus, with Coke taking a 2.15 billion dollar stake in Monster Energy, you'd think the sector would lite on fire...but TBEV has no product, only promises of product. So wuz up here folks? It's been 2 years. Gonna be never?
Ungs. Still waiting for the party to start in here. What's the hold up? Where's the web site?
Coca-Cola Co. agreed to pay $2.15 billion and buy a 16.7% stake in Monster Beverage Corp. Okay, TBEV...show the world a product and you MAY have suitors knocking on your door. It IS time.
...as part of a deal that combines the companies' energy drinks and further expands Coke's reach beyond soda.
Under the deal, Coke will transfer ownership of its energy business, which includes brands like NOS, Full Throttle, Burn, Mother, Play and Power Play, and Relentless, to Monster. Meanwhile, Monster will transfer its non-energy business, including Hansen's Natural Sodas, Peace Tea, Hubert's Lemonade and Hansen's Juice Products, to Coca-Cola.
Analysts had long considered Monster a potential takeover target and had named Coke as a leading candidate to buy the company. Energy drink sales have been a bright spot in the beverage market, though their sales growth has slowed somewhat in recent quarters.
The move comes as Coke is facing a slowdown in its traditional soda market. World-wide soda sales growth is slowing for a third straight year, and Coke's global soda volumes fell in the first quarter for the first time since 1999. Carbonated soft drinks still make up more than 70% of its global sales volumes.
As part of the deal, Coke will place two directors on Monster's board. In addition, Coke will become Monster's preferred distribution partner globally, and Monster will become Coke's exclusive energy play.
The companies expect the deal to close late in 2014 or early in 2015.
In after-hours trading, Monster shares jumped 21% to $86.78 , while Coke added 1.4% to $40.74 .
Coke made another big investment earlier this year, taking a 10% stake in Keurig Green Mountain Inc. for about $ 1.25 billion . It also signed a 10-year partnership to sell its drinks through an at-home beverage system being developed by Green Mountain, the maker of the Keurig single-serve coffee maker, that is expected to go on sale in the next year.
The Green Mountain deal gave Coke a big footprint in coffee and tea--beverages that have been growing at a faster clip than soda in recent years as Americans seek more caffeine and warm beverages. Coke later said it would boost its stake in Keurig to 16%.
COKE BUYS INTO MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS: at least this news tells us TBEV is in a HOT space if they can ever get a product out the door! LOL! Here's a repost. To read it yourself read it under the Monster headlines...
Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) and Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) announced a long-term strategic partnership after Thursday's market close.
As part of the deal, Coca-Cola will purchase a 16.7 percent equity stake in Monster and will make Monster its sole play in the energy drink space.
Coca-Cola will have two directors on Monster's Board of Directors and expects to account for the investment under the equity accounting method.
" The Coca-Cola Company continues to identify innovative approaches to partnerships that enable us to stay at the forefront of consumer trends in the beverage industry," said Muhtar Kent , chairman and chief executive officer of The Coca-Cola Company . "Our equity investment in Monster is a capital efficient way to bolster our participation in the fast-growing and attractive global energy drinks category."
Rodney C. Sacks , chairman and CEO of Monster, commented, "We gain enhanced access to The Coca-Cola Company's distribution system, the most powerful and extensive system in the world. At the same time, we become The Coca-Cola Company's exclusive energy play, with a robust portfolio led by our Monster Energy line and The Coca-Cola Company's energy brands."
