david: whoa, look at that. >> reporter: let's talk about green mountain.e talked about how it was heavily shorted, the single-cup coffee sales, but the fourth quarter profit was on the rise 22% and revenue as well. so earnings per share came in at 64 cents, that clearly beat the 48 credibility estimate, and revenue, as we know, 946.7 million beat the 902.7 million. so clearly beating across all lines here. and the last thing i should note always helps when you raise your full-year profit, so raising the fiscal full year 2013 profit, too, so that outlook also gives it a nice boost in the after hours. david: how much money did david einhorn lose today? he's a guy that not only bet against it, but tried to encourage as many people as he could to bet against it back in october. >> reporter: well, it's down 35% year to date, so i guess if he sold today before earnings, he's all right. or bought it back, right? liz: he's smart enough to have all kinds of stop loss programs put in place. nicole, thank you very much. >>> today marks three weeks since election day

. >> it seems like david is having a hard time seeing many of the green chutes if you will that you and many others are. what's he missing? >> i would say to get past the fiscal cliff, they need an enforcement mechanism that guarantees by a date certain in 2013 for the markets to accept the deal that they will have worked through some of these issues about longer term fiscal responsibility. when we look back on 2012, the gdp is revised upward by economists who viewed this year maybe too pes msimistically. this is something that ben bernanke alluded to in his speech last week. he said if we avoid the fiscal cliff and they satisfy the markets and policymakers with a deal, 2013 is a good year. i think we get a three or four handle on gdp next year. there are so many things going in the economy's favor, including a rebound in housing, manufacturing coming home and the conventional energy bomb in the united states and technology still doing well and korngss will start to spend money once we clear all these uncertainties. i think 2013 looks far better than most people expect right now. >> ron

joining us on set, we have the moderator of "meet the press," david gregory and senior national correspondent for bloomberg businessweek, joshua greentt romney explaining why he lost. i think it's not -- i think he actually explained why he lost. >> i think he helped explain why he just didn't get it. david gregory, there are a lot of conservatives from the very beginning and a lot of moderates in the republican party who thought this guy didn't really understand at his core what it meant to be a conservative. "the wall street journal," obviously, editorialized about it time and time again. he just didn't believe like reagan or thatcher or hayek or milton friedman that conservative wasn't for the rich. it wasn't for the thurston howell iiis, it was for all america. >> and a conservative view and philosophy for governing. necessarily include a lot of people, beyond just white men, that it ought to be an expanding view that new immigrants to the country ought to embrace, that should appeal across ethnic and racial divides. and i mean, i just think that there's a collective sense among those in the party who want to drive forward and s
