Love your Keurig?

Let it pay you one last time!

GMCR (Keurig Green Mountain) today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which a JAB-led investor group will acquire Keurig Green Mountain for $92.00 per share in cash, or a total equity value of approximately $13.9 billion.

http://www.streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/JAB+Holding+to+Acquire+Keurig+Green+Mountain+%28GMCR%29+for+$92Share/11130683.html

What's the play?

Buy the stock now (currently trading at $89.xx), and get paid $92 in Q1 2016.

Quick easy way to get 3% return, or 12% on an annual basis.

Something safer than the oil bets we all love.

Can't overstate this. And UWTI/DWTI value will deteriorate faster than HOU/HOD.

Max Boost made a good point a few pages back - if you're looking for a long term hold that moves (kind of) with the price of oil, get XEG (or if you want to do it in USD, get XLE). Alternatively, CCX could be an option for a longer hold, although it's a pretty young fund and trades at very low volume in comparison to the other two I mentioned, that's a bit of the reason I've stayed away from it.

max_boost
12-07-2015, 04:45 PM
Xeg is the energy index for the tsx and that has been killed as well (of course)

Try HUC. It's oil futures no leverage but for the next dec delivery. I don't get it. Why can't they just put out a non leverage HOU. They have it for the other commodities. :nut:

Unless I'm marthing, a non leverage HOU (or HOD) is CCX.

I absolutely agree. I should have clarified myself a little better. I am not worried YET with my HOU since I have more HOD on hand. But I might take my gains today since $ in the pocket is always better than $ sitting in the market... given how volatile for the foreseeable future.

Still holding?

I think if they can pull off the asset sale they are looking at, it will fix their balance sheet quite a bit and allow them to ride this out. My guess is ~12 share price if the sales go through. thoughts?

Yeah I'm either holding until I make money or it flatlines, it only represents a small % of my portfolio.

It kind of goes without saying that their ability to ride this out depends on just how long oil prices are depressed like this. I have faith they will, but who knows - it is a bit of a gamble, as previously mentioned. TBH I have no idea what to expect for a share price if they're able to unload some assets. I gotta think it will help, but doubling it from where we're at today? Not sure.

ive bought some pwt near 1.00 just for fun given there will be alot of whipsaw with oil trading under 40 (while it find's its low) there will be alot of swings in both directions. it is a pure short term play for me

technical wise on oil the current wave count target is at 35.89 then we should see another rally back to retest near the 40 range with a steeper downside target that could reach as low as 32 dollar unless it can invalidate the current resistance over 40.70 area

ive just exited all my mining stocks position in anticipation for a final drop in the metals sectors and will re-enter at a better price

yes possible bounce with larger target still to be fulfilled in the 32.xx area unless 40.70 is broken to the upside.

I sold my pwt yesterday with a 20% gain and looking to buy back so very tempting.

I have re-opened a small position in yri as gold rebounded strongly taking out an important resistance which now gave some life with a possibility of further strength. (over all technical picture still looks bearish) will conserve my ammo if a better opportunity/price presents itself

update: sold pwt for a mere 5% gain very little activity. dont want to hold this over the weekend with the potential of a gap down on monday. The big rate hike next week should bring back volumn

They are seeking strategic alternatives currently. Market doesn't seem to like it nor do they think anything will come out of it. Saunders has totally lost the faith of any investor so it's a gamble more than anything but I don't disagree they have a somewhat cleaner balance sheet than others in their range.

well the short term oil counter rally is finally happening, pwt is rising as expected. unless the rally can close above 40.70 and also depending how the wave structure of the rise unfolds expectation is that it will be short lived as it still may fulfill the 32.xx area target. (worse case scenario pegs further downside into the 2x.xx as well as 13-16 dollar oil. Scary stuff. If anyone is playing oil right now, keep it short term and continue to buy back or look for better price entries

01-04-2016, 09:07 AM
as expected. currently riding pwt for oil to retest near 40 dollars. we will find out if the low is in place or not depending on how we react to this key resistance level.

mining stocks looking good to begin the year. Key area for gold needs to capture price above 1088 to create a new bullish pattern otherwise all technical analysis continues to favor the downside.

Are we in the same period as everyone was so certain for gold above 2k only to see it completely collapsed? Everyone is calling for below 1000 gold, sort of makes me doubt it will ever happen.

other key prices to watch is ABX.to is ready to retest 11 dollars after many failed attempt, a close above this would be another reason to smile for gold bulls

SilverRex
01-06-2016, 08:40 AM

really thought it would retest near 40 before heading back down, but technically oil has and still trying to trace out a final low in the 32 area at the minimum so this was never surprising.

gold on the hand was in a similar situation but is beginning to look more bullish the longer it remains above 1088

I've been absolutely trounced over the last couple of weeks as well. My GoPro stocks are going to be of the penny variety soon enough, and oil... well... we all know how those are doing.

Lost perhaps $2000 total. I really suck at this stock game.

where is the next support level that would likely trigger mini rally?
Although, I think all technical analysis is out the window right now with this falling knife.

the 32 area target was a pretty significant one, I was just surprised how fast it broke thru this. looking at the current wave structure (regardless if a lower low is still to come or not) a short term bounce should be imminent.

to say we may have struck a long term bottom, we need to recapture above 32.19 , basically 32 is the new 40 area a key resistance.

the next key major support lies in the 15-17 area, but that is so bearish it would require an outright collapse or economy crash. personally I do not see this happening, I am expecting continue weakness in the equity market as all technical indicator has turned bearish. Yes we are officially in a bear market for stocks. I think it will drop to a point forcing the fed to release further QE. the next wave of QE will then reverse all equities into new highs. the next new cycle high will bring about an even greater collapse which will usher in a new monetary system.

you have extreme bearish deflationist who are calling a straight crash now and also inflationist who is calling new high in stocks now. but the greatest wreckage will come in between. The market has a tendency to prove everyone wrong and destroy everyone's confidence. just when everyone thought its over it reverses in strides and vice versa. Rinse and repeat until everyone gives up

You haven't lost (or made) any money until you actually sell, important to remember in times like this.

Chances are everyone is looking at red after the last few weeks. Only exceptions are people that are successful/lucky with day trading - I have a buddy whos made some ok money with HXD.

Right now I'm happy to be in a place where I don't have to sell anything in the forseeable future, and I have a bit of excess cash for when things go on sale. :dunno: All about how you look at it.

Short term became long term - 18-24 months I think I'll be happy.

dont worry, missing out on opportunities is far better than holding the bag deep in the red.

If you believe in value investing that's exactly what you should do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't hold true with leveraged stocks (i.e. HOU), since their intrinsic value deteriorates over time. HOU @ $29WTI today will be worth more than HOU @ $29WTI in 2 weeks. Holding HOU only works if you get that bounce in the near term.

Why would intrinsic value decrease? It's rebalanced daily to ensure proper leverage so I'd imagine there's some inaccuracies there. But you'd think it would be minimal. :dunno:

Definitely doesn't work for 2X leverage unless linear growth. However who am I to explain to these Haskayne grads. I went to SAIT. :D

It's not that crazy of a gamble...

Lets look at the picture.

2016 - Like every producer, they are outside their debt covenants (Biggest Current Risk if you believe they will not renegotiate this successfully).
2020 - Some of their long term debt begins to mature
2021 - 1.6 Billion of Long Term Debt Matures

Currently Borrowing $200MM of their $1 Billion credit facility.

Conclusion:
If you are an oil bull...hell of a gamble for an easy 5-10x return if oil can make a rebound to $60 by year end.

If you are neutral...great gamble if you believe oil will make a slow recovery to maybe $45 and they are able to renegotiate their covenants.

Bearish..don't touch it if you don't see any recovery in oil and you don't see them being able to renegotiate their covenants.

End of the day is if they can survive this year then they will be okay

I hope you at least attempted to explain to them that it will go to zero.

You are basically correct.

It's been covered in this thread multiple times. It doesn't work holding on to leveraged stocks. Use them short term and that's it.

I first became interested in buying some about 5 years ago. Did a bunch of research and decided there was better places to invest. Every year I would go back and look at it but would never buy it. No real reason why other then the growth potential wasn't there.

Why are you considering taking a position in this?

br.to looks like trying to catch a falling knife to me... I was actually looking at them when they took a massive drop ~1 year ago. They are getting pummeled by microbreweries but you'd think the upside now is greater than potential downside?

Beer consumption in general is trending down with this generation. BR is not hipster.

I was considering them because of the severe beating they have taken over the past 4 years and I see some upside in them. I think Bob Sartor is finally figuring the business out and I think they are ready to climb into the double digits again. I guess at 4 bucks a share, I just feel it's worth a drop in the bucket.. I also drink a boat-load of Grasshopper/Traditional, so I may as well support my go-to beer company!

:rofl: This was why I first looked at the company as well. After reading there latest earnings it didn't look too bad since volume is increasing but the profit just doesn't seem to be there yet.

At current levels I think the risk is low. I don't like the fact that there has been insider sales at these levels though. Mostly Clayton Riddell which doesn't mean much IMO but I still don't like it.

Good luck if you decide too.

I was going to say my grass / trad consumption has dropped significantly in the past few years due to drinking more micro brews - didnt want to sound like a hipster though :D

The expansion into BC went well. The huge drop was because the dividend was cut (to pay for expansion/growth). Product line is innovative and the core Grass/Trad are still great. AB is just a crowded, unrestricted marketplace. NDP have fixed the huge tax mistake the PC's rammed through near the end. I bought a ton at 7$, will buy more, eventually. I think oil companies have a greater reward possibility in the next 6-12 months though...

if any of you thinking oil price will rebound soon; just go look at nature gas price and you will realize how long you will have to wait on this one...oil has done its run for the passed 10 years and its the time to hibernate for the next 10.
