Covered GMCR short yesterday AM @ 59.25. Didn't like the big buy blocks in the down market the day before. Made a whole buck x no. of shares.

River,
As I said before, I'm coffee illiterate. The big GMCR boom had something to do with single serving cups. Can anyone explain it to me?

billy: these are typical brewers that use k-cups - an easy one-at-a-time cup full without having to brew a whole pot. They also have tea, hot chocolate etc. (see link at bottom)

My model is the 119.95 model that I bought a couple of years ago at JCPenney for 99.99 on sale. Perfect for me because I drink about 2 cups a day. Perfect when I have company because of the wide variety of different coffees I can offer my guests. (A little pricey though. Figure on 55-60 cents per cup)

There is a reservoir on the left side that you keep filled with water. There is some kind of vacuum pump that fills an internal reservoir and heats the water when you turn it on. You put the k-cup in an inner container at the top front by lifting the steel handle to open. When you close it, there are a top and bottom steel pegs that puncture the top and bottom of the k-cup. The hot water from the internal chamber drizzles through the k-cup and fills your cup with hot delicious coffee. There are two buttons on the top to the right of the steel handle. You have a choice between a small (regular) cup full or a larger cup full.

These are the k-cups that fit in the inner container that are plastic, foil covered and are easily punctured.

River,
Thanks. So this must mean a coffee company can make more $$ selling individual cups of hundreds of different varieties of coffees rather than millions of pitchers of just regular or decaf. That's my take on it.

Ico

This coal company was one of billyjoe's 3X picks. I doubled down when it hit his target. Since then it has been subject of TO in each of the last four months. Today's news from TheStreet is that they are showing their mines to prospective buyers. That's why the pps spike.

River,
My son bought ICO early. Hope he's still holding. It seems that the Japan nuclear scare can't hurt coal.

That's my idea too. Also holding PCX but it's not doing as well.

[Eric]

I regret regret letting go of ICO when it dipped a month or so ago with the rest of the market. Didn't take any profit. When it hit 10, I thought I missed the boat. I was wrong.
