Stock is dropping fast and shareholders are fleeing.
Not so fast there! LOL Seems it is doing better than the NASDAQ in general...and going up and down and up and down - probably little - very little to do with any of its marketing policies and more to do with the NASDAQ's general trends.

You mean Keurig? The company (Keurig Green Mountain) in the US is traded on NASDAQ. Their stock symbol is GMCR. They are off today by 0.30%. NASDAQ overall is down .20%. In other words, no change at all. Think about it anyway. They sell custom coffee mixes and machines - their target demographic is millenials and young, educated professionals. Losing Hannity viewers is not going to hurt their bottom line.

I thought it was only leftists who were supposed to smash stuff out of spite.

I must have missed all the stories where people were throwing Kreigs out the window, making huge bonfires to burn them or marching enmasse to the Kreig headquarters.

Wonder if Kreigs will be on sale for Black Friday.

In fact, it could become sort of an anti-Hannity, anti-Trump status symbol. Great ad campaign of people waking up to that first cup of coffee before facing the morning onslaught of news.

The Fox viewers I know use drip machines with coffee pots. One still uses a percolator. Doubt they'd even know what a KREIG or a Keurig coffee machine is, let alone have one around to smash.

Surely they'll be giving them away just to stay in the market.

I have the feeling the real $$$'s in the K-Cups anyway.
