Gettin’ FIZzy wid it

We found our speculative play for the Portfolio Smackdown. Let’s get some of that National Beverage (FIZ) and let it run. Jim Cramer said its Rip It energy drink has room to grow in a fast-growing market.

He showed National Beverages other boring sodas, Shasta and Fanta. Wow, I remember Shasta and Fanta as a kid always had interesting flavors. But they were sort of like the store brand of beverage. Cool for them if they can turn Rip It into something cool.

I’ll pick up as many shares as $ 9,424.34 will get us at 3:30 today, gaming that the Cramer Crackle will melt some by then.
