At the risk of being seen as callous, only five deaths out of the millions that have had monsters drinks is an insignificant number. Government CAFE standards kill many more Americans because car companies use more light weight metals in cars causing more significant injuries to occur in accidents—all in the name of higher MPG and the environment of course.

Perhaps more importantly, the alternatives to monster continue to increase; energy pills ( http://bit.ly/QOhNmB ) seem to be the next big thing.

LEAP call options are going to be the best way to play this drop. Things may not look pretty in the short term, but just like a major oil spill for an oil company or a fast food company being sued for having hot coffee, this too shall pass.

In addition, the lower price makes this company an acquisition target, more so than before. Buying up this company at this level is going to provide tremendous growth potential. Settle out of court any possible lawsuits, if any, then change the formulas to reduce the caffeine levels, if necessary. Future problems averted and growth back on track!

Possible acquirers: KO (because of their horrible Full Throttle energy drink line) or BUD
