10 Best Heal Care Stocks To Buy For 2014

If ESPN can't make 3-D TV work no one can. That's why ESPN's announcement that it would drop 3-D later this year is such a big deal. The company, which is owned by Disney (NYSE: DIS  ) , was one of the first to invest in 3-D, and is one of the first to throw in the towel, as well. �

High hopes gone awry
3-D televisions made a big splash at the 2010 CES show, and both manufacturers and investors had high hopes for the industry. About 3.2 million 3-D TVs were sold in 2010, and in early 2011, DisplaySearch projected that over 90 million 3-D TVs would be sold in 2014.�

No doubt there are a lot of 3-D TVs in living rooms around the world, but customers don't seem keen on paying for 3-D content to go along with them.

The interesting channel to watch now that ESPN is out of 3-D will be the fate of 3net, a partnership between IMAX, Sony, and Discovery. The channel was built to be focused on 3-D, and recently launched a production arm to create 3-D and 4K content. Presumably, the loss of ESPN will hurt demand for other 3-D channels like 3net, and it will be interesting to see what the fate of this venture is.�

  Catalyst: Earnings Beat

  Last, but far from least, is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), a stock that's no stranger to being one of the most active names on the Nasdaq -- or one of the most controversial. GMCR posted its second-quarter earnings numbers yesterday, earning 93 cents per share, while the consensus estimate was down at 72 cents. That earnings beat proved impressive enough to gap shares up almost $25% to a new 52-week high this morning.

  Today also brought an announcement that Starbucks (SBUX) was expanding its deal with GMCR and extending the deal by five years. With encroachment from SBUX's own competing Verismo brewer seen by Green Mountain bears as a big catalyst for downside, the announcement is an important coup for the firm's shareholders. It confirms the status of Green Mountain's Keurig as the league leader in 2013.
