I'd tell myself to borrow as much as I could and go all in with Green Mountain Coffee.

#1: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) +7,895%

The winner for the decade is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR). An investment of just $13,000 ten years ago would now be worth over $1 million—and it’s all thanks to coffee. Green Mountain offers about 180 varieties of coffee, cocoa and tea. The company sells its drinks to wholesale customers, like supermarkets and food service companies, as well as in ExxonMobil convenience stores and McDonald’s restaurants.

Green Mountain coffee is sold under the Newman’s Own Organics brand and the Tully’s label, but the biggest moneymaker for this firm is its Keurig single-cup brewing systems for office and home use. As the recession puts the squeeze on caffeine junkies, it’s much cheaper to make your own cup of java–which means booming sales for Green Mountain.

This past April, I told investors to buy shares of Green Mountain before its earnings report. The company delivered a huge earnings surprise, and the stock soared 37% the next day.

I recommended selling the stock after the big move. We made 80% in a little over two months. The good news is that the stock is back on my buy list. Green Mountain’s earnings report earlier this month topped Wall Street’s estimates, plus the company raised its EPS estimate for all of next year to $1.75 to $1.85 from its earlier range of $1.70 to $1.80. Green Mountain Coffee continues to be a very strong buy.
