The company has been run by South African billionaires Hilton Schlosberg and Rodney Sacks since they acquired Hansen Natural in 1990. Monster, followed by main competitor Red Bull, is the leader in the $21 billion energy drink industry. Watch the video above to learn how an unassuming company came to have such wild success by focusing on marketing to audiences of sports such as UFC, MotoGP, Formula 1 and Nascar.

Why Monster Beverage Has The Best-Performing Stock In Over 30 Years

[@the_real_cookiez]

My biggest regret is not investing $1,000 into Monster at negative one years old. How foolish of me.

[@PsyQoBoy]

Why not invest $1,000 into Bitcoin when it was worth $0.00001?

Absolutely! Red Bull's taste is atrocious

I like how they tried to distance themselves from the energy drink flavor. there is a chance that i could hand you one of many varieties of monster and you would have no clue it was one on taste alone. All redbulls taste like redbull monster zero tastes nothing like default monster.

[@MiguelCedenoLozano]

@@rookooful The various other flavors are just to fill in a void in the market, but regardless as a teenager I gravitated towards the default monster (green) simply because it tastes way better than the other options from different companies.

Why would you do that to your body? The answer is probably the same as why people eat processed food, they don't know what they need to stay healthy and they don't know what they are eating.

Monster Energy has a lot of competition to deal with in the Philippines as Redbull's glass bottle variant is cheaper than a can of Monster Energy and there are other cheaper brands in the market that operates the same market strategy, having sponsorship on sporting events and targeting college students and construction workers. It doesn't mean Monster is entering the market with nothing to work on. They still have the esports scene to go with and not a lot beverage companies in the country has a lead like Monster Energy in that area. Much so with that recent report of online influencers and gaming as Filipino's preferred content to go on nowadays is on the rise.

Meanwhile to counter the Monster/Coke partnership, Pepsi in 2020 took full control of one of Monster's biggest rivals in Rockstar. Prior to 2020, Rockstar was already being distributed by Pepsi a partnership dating back to 2009. In a ironic twist when Rockstar first started out in 2001, Coke was actually the distributor of Rockstar & there was a period of 7 years in which Coke distributed both Monster & Rockstar which is crazy to me given the fact now that both are controlled by the two biggest beverage companies on the planet & are rivals.

Monster actually works at bringing your strength out, but you can't over use it.

I prefer Monster over Redbull simply because of the size and huge variety of flavors... Particularly the Zero Ultra white cans with citrus flavor, it taste amazing

[@liquid7105]

red bulls taste is really sour and bitter, not a fan

Concluding 2023 with a 20% decline in the S&P 500, long-term investors find a promising entry into 2024. Noteworthy ETFs include: $VOO for S&P 500, $VTI for total US market, $QQQ for tech growth, and $SCHD for growth with dividends. Calculating my annual dividends, I'm thankful for $167k-attributing it to discipline and focus.

In the past month, my "unexciting" index funds provided me with over $6,000 in dividends, giving me the option to spend without selling shares. Currently, I've opted to reinvest the dividends to acquire additional index funds for future growth.

Apt!! I was self-managing my portfolio but suffered heavy losses in 2022 and i knew i couldn't continue like that, so i consulted a fiduciary advisor. By restructuring and diversifying my $1.2M portfolio with dividend-paying stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds and REITs, I significantly boosted my portfolio, achieving an annualized gain of 28%.

[@austingraff1881]

This sounds interesting. My portfolio is in the red. Can you recommend your analyst, please?

[@johnlennon232]

Finding financial advisors like Natalie Marie Tuttle who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up after scrolling a bit. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks.

Fun Fact: Prior to their deal with Monster Energy, Coca-Cola had distribution rights to Rockstar Energy during the 2000s. The deal spawned the short-lived Von Dutch energy drink. Then in 2009, Rockstar left Coca-Cola and joined PepsiCo.

I used to drink the zero cal monsters all the time (at most once a day in the morning). I don't think they are very good for you and I got pretty bad anxiety over time. I haven't drank any for probably around 2 years now and don't really recommend them over just coffee in the morning. There's just too much stuff thrown into it and although initially it definitely felt like it made me sharper at work, I think I'd have to consume like half a can at most a day to not feel like I was negatively impacting my health. Luckily I don't actually like the taste any more and have no interest in drinking them again. I'll just stick to cold brew coffee in the mornings.

Twice the volume is a major reason I buy redbull more. Redbull is lighter in a pack, and yet more potent per can. But yeah I choose monster for lower boost entertainment sipping.
