(TM), Economic Data, Teva Pharm Indus ADR (TEVA), Stocks to Buy, Federal Reserve, Marathon Oil (MRO) <> It will be a busy week.

Coffee Stock #4: Caribou Coffee (CBOU)
SBUX
+175.90%
in
1214 days
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Stock Picks Caribou Coffee (CBOU) is sometimes seen as a Starbucks (SBUX) knock-off, but this company can definitely stand on its own. The Minneapolis-based Caribou is the second-largest company-owned gourmet coffeehouse operator in the United States, based on the number of coffeehouses.
As of 2009, Caribou Coffee had 515 coffeehouses, including 101 franchised locations. The company offers high-quality gourmet coffee and espresso-based beverages, as well as specialty teas and whole bean coffee. Continue reading Coffee Stock #4: Caribou Coffee (CBOU) <><>Coffee Stock #4: >>...

(closed on 02/21/10)
Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Stock Picks As the name suggests, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) is based in the pastoral state of Vermont. The company offers about 180 varieties of coffee, cocoa and tea, which it sells to wholesale customers including supermarkets, convenience stores, resorts and office-delivery services. <>Some of its biggest customers are ExxonMobil's (XOM) convenience stores and McDonald's (MCD) restaurants. In September, Green Mountain acquired Tully's Coffee, which has been chipping away at Starbucks' (SBUX) dominance in the Pacific Northwest. Green Mountain Coffee's p>...

Coffee Stock #1: Starbucks (SBUX)

(closed on 02/20/10)
Filed under: Starbucks (SBUX), Stocks to Buy, Stock Picks The big news in the coffee world recently has focused around brewing behemoth Starbucks (SBUX) as it has bounced back big-time. The company bested Wall Street earnings estimates in late January thanks to 4% growth in same-store sales and a fiscal first-quarter profit that more than tripled over last year. <>Cost-cutting efforts and the downsizing of underperforming stores have really paid off. Starbucks has now closed 676 U.S. locations and almost 100 abroad, but has managed to see stronger sales. This may sound counterintuitive, but a r>...

In a time of economic turmoil, high unemployment and tight liquidity, what could be more practical than pawn shops and cash advance outlets?

Dog of the Dow #10: McDonald's (MCD)
SBUX
-4.29%
in
69 days
(closed on 02/20/10)
Filed under: McDonald's (MCD), Stocks to Sell McDonald's (MCD) was a favorite of mine during the recession, as a weak dollar boosted overseas revenue and value-conscious consumers flocked to the Golden Arches. But low-priced fare can only take you so far, and competitors have started to erode MCD's hold on cheap eats.
What's more, the company's successful McCafe offerings took cash away from Starbucks (SBUX) in early 2009 -- but now cheaper at-home alternatives to brewing coffee are cutting into McDonald's java sales. That's bad news for MCD, and I rate this stock a sell. <><>Next: <>Dog of the Dow >>>...

SBUX is attempting to go global during a very difficult period in time. Some of the highest income earners in China are coal workers, and I for some odd reason don't see coal workers buying a grande quintuple-shot non-fat vanilla latte macchiato with room for soy milk on their way to the coal mine. While SBUX squanders cash to expand their business marketing to coal miners in China, profits are contracting in America as debt-laden Americans ratchet down to Folgers crystals. The best part of wakin' up is Folgers in your cup. .

CEO Howard Schultz tried to calm the market by saying that SBUX would come out of this recession a stronger, leaner company as a result. <>Interestingly, Schultz laid it on thick with his view that the company would not let go of its premium blend brand that it had worked so hard to create. In >...

SBUX is in a tough economic environment now. The costs are going up while consumers are tighting their budget. Sure, people are still drinking coffee, but they probably will cut down a little or switch to lower premium drinks. This condition will not be improved for a while. In other words, the stock will be a heading down.

With the upswing in inflation and the massive job losses that we are seeing, Starbucks is going to pay the price. I've decided that I'm going to short them for the long run. Just go to your local Starbucks and notice how few people are dropping in. <> Also, the upper management at Starbucks don't have a clue. When they first came on the scene they were cool. No people go because they remember when it was good. With the rise of inflation, the incompetent management, and the general pullback on cash in the pocket of consumers Starbucks is going to take a big dump in its value. Ju>...

(closed on 09/19/08)
Starbucks has developed too many stores in the recent years. They have recently scaled back and shut down many stores. With the inflation we will be experiencing and the loss of jobs, Starbucks patrons will not be driviing to get coffee as much and this is going to hurt them in a big way.
