Over on CAPS, fully 35 of the 110 All-Star members who have rated Green Mountain -- some 32% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. Among the bearish population are Hugerat and golfooler.

Late last month, Hugerat pointed to a struggling rival as evidence to stay away: "This is a hyper-competitive industry, and consumers are extremely fickle. Witness the decline of Starbucks."

In a pitch from two weeks ago, golfooler shared that bearishness, tapping Green Mountain as a classic "good company, bad stock" situation:

A real high flier! There is lots of glitz to the story. The problem is, the p/e is huge and they seem to be planning on mojor groeth from the individual brew packets. Have you seen the price of the machines? What about the packets? Overpriced coffee will go the way of the cigar craze.

The scariest part of this is the shorts. At last check 53% of the float are shorts. That's frightening. The slighest miss on the big growth expectations and this will sink hard and fast.
