Investing in Vermont: Green Mountain Coffee shares due for pullback

My second Investing in Vermont column for the Burlington Free Press newspaper was printed today in the Business Monday section. You can read Green Mountain Coffee shares due for pullback by clicking here for the Burlington Free Press site.

In this column, I examine one of Vermont's most successful companies, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq: GMCR). Shares of the Waterbury-based coffee company have risen 1,224% over the last five years as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has expanded rapidly and profitably. The company has rewarded early shareholders with significant returns, and also had a very positive impact on the local economy.

But as I argue in my column, significant insider selling and plans for a $321 million equity financing could weigh on shares of this high flying growth stock. I believe investors should be cautious, and wait for a pullback in the share price before buying shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.

Enjoy the article, and let me know what you think. You can read my column by clicking here.
