CELH taught me the market can punish a good growth story just for sounding too crowded

I like the brand, I like the distribution expansion story, and I absolutely underestimated how violently a high-expectation consumer grower can re-rate when the pace cools even a little.

Still own some. Not because I'm certain, more because I've seen enough of these stories come back once people stop expecting a miracle every quarter.

Crowded growth is fun until the first whiff of normalization and then everyone runs for the same door.

I wish I were better at that before the market does the trimming for me.

I passed because beverage trends scare me. Tastes change fast.
