Tim Seymour Brews A Rally In Keurig Green Mountain

Keurig Green Mountain Inc GMCR shares were trading sharply higher by $3.30 (4.3 percent) at $75.10 in Wednesday's session. Investors may be following the lead of Tim Seymour, who recommended a long position in the beaten down issue on Tuesday's edition of "Fast Money."

The issue has been in the doghouse since November 2014 when it peaked at $158.87. As a result, it has lost over half of its value and made a new low for the recent slide on Monday at $68.78, before rebounding to close at $71.36. That low marks the lowest level for the issue since it bottomed at $66.80 in December 2013.

After a quiet day on Tuesday, Seymour's comments instigated a sharply higher open ($74.46 vs. Tuesday's close of $71.80). It then retreated to $73.76 before resuming its rally.

So far, it has reached $76.49 before falling back to the $75 area. That is just shy of its July 1 high at $77.09.

Today's price action is taking place on higher than average volume. With over four hours remaining in the day, it has traded 1.1 million shares compared with its 20-day average of 1.52 million.
