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...

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.

Just my view, can't see why people would pay a premium to hang out @ SBUX in recession + if a strip malls losing steam, where are their customers?

Great company but facing challenges from economy, changing consumer sentiment, increased competition, and the fading of the novelty of Starbucks. They will most certainly prevail, but clearly there is some serious short term downside before a recovery begins. Steer clear until there are signs of  a new value proposition or clear indication of a turnaround. The days of long lines for $5 cups of mediocre coffee loaded with flavored syrup are long behind us.
