Oh no, GDP came in a bit lighter than expected. Couple that with the fact that everything is doomed, the market might trade down by 50 points today. I am sure Ben Bernanke is sitting in his living room, in a frenzy, watching CNBC and saying “what in the world am I going to do now?”
In all seriousness, a good 5% pullback would be healthy for the market in order to consolidate recent gains and flush out the weaker hands. That will give the true buyers a chance to get in at respectable levels. We all want to own FOSL, CLF and other such names, but lower.
Even though I have only 15% of my assets in cash and I am long a variety of high beta, cocaine fueled names; I am prepared to invest every single cent, AND MORE. I am prepared to leverage up, whilst eating deep fried Big Mac sandwiches, drunk off southern moonshine.
Looking at the SBUX numbers, I am impressed with their K-Cup sales of $100 million in two months. Of course this is the beginning of their K-Cup excursion, which might have been the reason for a little overzealousness. However, it’s impressive nonetheless, especially since they hardly marketed their K-Cups due to supply constraints. This is a small aspect of GMCR’s business but may be the tell or the clue that speaks to a bigger story. I am becoming increasingly positive on GMCR sub $50.
In the meantime, it’s a rainy Friday morning and the market is soft like tits. I will be buying dips.
