MNST Losing Its Energy

After a huge year of stock gains Monster Beverage Corp has been on a huge losing streak. It has gone from bad to worse and I think it has further to drop. Investigations into the claims made by energy drink manufacturers will at worst hamstring their marketing, and at least give the segment a lot of bad press.



I put in an order today for a $55 Put option with a Dec 22nd expiration. The stock is sitting at $59.48 today but if the current losing streak continues I will make a good return on this trade.


Thanks for reading!
