Because people are not drinking Coke like they used to, its been reported that Coke's sales are down a fair amount, because of people trying to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Ironic that they would buy into a drink that is worse for you than Coca Cola?

This values Monster at around 12.5 Billion dollars. Why can't some of that go into the supercross pay outs....... ?

This is the real reason I believe.

"In a bid to let Monster focus on energy drinks, Coca-Cola will transfer ownership of its energy drink brands — NOS, Full Throttle, Burn, Mother, Play and Power Play and Relentless — to Monster. In return, Monster will transfer its nonenergy drinks brands — Hansen’s Natural Sodas, Peace Tea, Hubert’s Lemonade and Hansen’s Juice Products — to Coca-Cola."

I wish I owned Monster stock. I did buy stock in KO last week though during the market pull back.
