GMCR must be drinking their own coffee every morning. That must be the key to their great performance, as for the past 6 Fiscal Years their earnings have been increasing consistently.

Here is a snapshot overview of their strong Fundamentals : Historical Financial Performance from 2004 to 2009.

Technically speaking, it looks like GMCR has arrived at another breakout juncture in an attempt to begin another new uptrend. Looking at the Price Bar Chart around the $90 area, support has been established at the breakout point as seen by the arrow pointing at the upper dotted Blue horizontal line. The uptrend remains intact as can be seen by the diagonal Blue line sloping from the bottom left towards the upper right.
Notice also at the $30 level. This is where the initial price support(as indicated by the lower dotted Blue line) had been established which led to the initial breakout of the first uptrend.

Now lets view the Indicator portions of the chart, located in the sections both above and below the Price bars. One can see that the indicator lines are trending at the upper levels, progressing smoothly towards the right in a consistent yet upwards manner. This behavior calls out a trend in progress.

Looking forward to this new breakout to establish itself and to continue the progression of the upward trend.

Notice the Blue arrows in the chart. The technical indicators are flowing positive in an uptrend. The intermediate term price target of 47.5 is indicated at the horizontal Blue line.
