Advisors' Opinion:

  Finally, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) is a repeat of last week's earnings related selection. I did not sell puts in anticipation of the August 7, 2013 earnings report as I thought that I might, instead selecting Coach and Riverbed Technology (RVBD) as earnings related trades. Inexplicably, Green Mountain shares rose even higher during the past week, which would have been ideal in the event of a put sale.

  This series, brought to you by Yahoo! Finance, looks at which upgrades and downgrades make sense, and which ones investors should act on. Today, our headlines feature a pair of downgrades for UPS (NYSE: UPS  ) and Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD  ) . But the news isn't all bad.

  Riverbed Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: RVBD) may have been down too much by our take as well, but activist fund Elliott Associates, with a 9% stake, calling the company significantly undervalued may already be a bit too much of a move. What is funny is that Elliott is right and it can be worth more. That being said, we saw a 15% rise to $17.42 against a 52-week range of $13.77 to $21.39. Some 13 million shares traded hands right before noon. Be advised that the short interest has been more than 12 million shares for three straight reports, and it was more than 12.6 million in late August.
