Hansen Poised to Benefit from New Products, International Expansion

Marc Langefeld submits:

Hansen Natural Corporation (HANS) should be considered for potential purchase based on its #2 position in the fast growing global energy drinks market, its ability to gain market share in the U.S. through the introduction of innovative new products, its opportunity to expand in international markets, its cash-rich balance sheet and its strong cash flow generation.
