Wall Street can't get enough of SodaStream's (NASDAQ: SODA ) fizzy lifting drink. The company behind the namesake beverage system that turns flat tap water into sparkling soda soared today after a well-received Analyst Day.
SodaStream officially dusted off a goal of hitting $1 billion in sales by 2016, and that kind of long-term growth trajectory is giving analysts sugar rushes. Citigroup boosted its price target to $66, and Oppenheimer is replacing its goal from the now obsolete $60 to a more robust $68.
The road to $1 billion doesn't seem outlandish. We'd be eyeing compounded annual growth of 23% along the way, and the carbonated-beverage market itself is already a $260 billion market. Why can't SodaStream capture less than 0.4% of the market given its growing global reach?
There's more to SodaStream these days than just the portable appliance market. There are now hundreds of restaurants and food-service establishments through Europe testing a commercial dispenser. SodaStream has already announced a partnership with Samsung to put out refrigerators that serve carbonated water.

Also interesting is that the duration of rising rate environments is distinctly shorter after 1982. The average duration declines to 14 months from 40 months prior to 1982. A possible explanation could be changes in the monetary mechanism influencing interest rates. In 1982, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) first referenced a targeted federal funds rate.7

Former Philadelphia Fed President Edward Boehne elegantly described the approach at a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in late 1989:
��ow, sooner or later, we will have a recession. I don�� think anybody around the table wants a recession or is seeking one, but sooner or later we will have one. If in that recession we took advantage of the anti-inflation (impetus) and we got inflation down from 4 1/2 percent to 3 percent, and then in the next expansion we were able to keep inflation from accelerating, sooner or later there will be another recession out there. And so, if we could bring inflation down from cycle to cycle just as we let it build up from cycle to cycle, that would be considerable progress over what we��e done in other periods in history.��/p>

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
Monster Beverage Corp (NASDAQ: MNST), a mid cap marketer and distributor of energy drinks and alternative beverages, has been a monster of a performer since the end of the financial crisis as the stock is up around 308% over the past five years, but could new or overlooked players like small cap beverage stocks�Jones Soda Co (OTCMKTS: JSDA), Celsius Holdings, Inc (OTCMKTS: CELH) and Konared Corp (OTCBB: KRED) repeat that performance? A look strictly at the long term performance of all three small caps might have you thinking otherwise. After all, none of these small cap beverage stocks are profitable while�the beverage industry can be a long hard expensive slog just to increase market share by one or two points when you are competing for shelf space with industry giants like Pepsi and Coke. But past performance is just that���the past and only part of the story as there is much more to consider about these small cap beverage stocks which could also make them potential acquisition targets by larger beverage players seeking to expand their product line up with innovative products:
