The following video is from Wednesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill, along with analysts Bryan Hinmon and Catherine Baab-Muguira, discuss the top business and investing stories.
In this segment, earnings came in much higher than expected for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR), and shares were up more than 20% as a result.
