| I am not really sure. I am just beginning to learn to invest. I like to look and see what the stock has done over the past 6 months to year. Depending on how close a stock is to its 52-week high is a major determinant on whether I buy it or not. But, with what was said about McDonalds, this logic may not be good because this help can help SBUX to exceed their high |

SBUX is yet anudder example of how things werk on Wall St...just like DELL is....just like GM is...just like UA is....and jist like AAPL n GOOG will be.  Ifn you remember da scenario wit SBUX at $40 dallahs...it twas the darlin o"Wall St. becuz a $5 dallah cup o'Joe was nuthin but a thanaaang when da price of yer house jist went up another $4000 last week.  In fackt, Crammer himself upped his price tawget from $40 to $46 even bafo SBUX hit $40! How wassa NE1 sposed ta know SBUX wud sumday be a teen angel when it twas up there atta $40 dallahs?  Even mo intrusting  Can NE1 deny dat da Reaper knew?  Which leads us to my rule ov how ya find out where da price is goin Put da beeeyotch up on a 5 year chawt. Is da price ov SBUX at march of 2003 levels right now? Ifn it tain't...twill be.  ....which leads us to da question How can we figure out what da next SBUX is...so we doan snooker ourselves? Luckily fer evrybudy concerned we can find out ANY stock that be da next SBUX in ANY seckter. ....simply look fer stocks trading at or near 52 week highs where Cramer is upping his price target even before his initial tawget comes ta mind. Fer instunce....Cramer says AAPL goes ta $300 even though it didn hit $252 yet.    Sidenote: Cramer is trying to rescue SBUX right heeeya becuz he feels bad about aaaaall da Mad Monkey watchin idiots who got deeeestroyed cause of his take. He had bettah leave DA BOTTOM fishin ta me. Oh yeah, my pick for the next SBUX in da "food delivery at a stoopid price fer what ya git" wud be MCD. I think it'll be a teen angel sumday too...the setup is EXACTLY like it twas wit SBUX. Go ahead annna find an anal-yst who is neggy on MCD. I'll tell ya this right cheeeya right now ...America doan shivagits about overpriced coffee!...and quit using our land ta make gasoline!....we need more BEER! |

I have started looking at SBUX when it dropped below $ 20 recently. In the past, SBUX always spot a P/E of > 30, which is the reason why I was not interested with the shares. Yes the growth is there but look what happened once growth slows (like now). But anyway, shares dropped when SBUX reported 5% increase in SSS (same store sales). SBUX is spotting a forward P/E of 18. Would you want to pay 18 times earnings for a 5% increase in SSS?
McDonald (MCD)is a competitor but not directly, I believe. Once they bring their army of barrista, SBUX consumer will appreciate what the true SBUX experience. It's always good to have a competitor for comparison sake.
Anyway, in term of valuation, SBUX is not quite there yet. It will be more interesting if it can hit < $ 15, and make a purchase at around $ 10-$12 if it ever get that low. With the current recession looming and all retail stores getting thrashed, SBUX might get there. |

Starbucks is probably a good long position to have right now. They are a great company with excellent growth possibilities, and they are very conscientious about keeping the brand name intact (which is what allows them to charge $4+ for a cup of coffee). Of course it was a darling of the street and may have further to drop if it should further fall out of favor but in the long-run (Say 5 years) you will probably get an above average return.
McDonald's is another great company that is still inventing new sought-after products and growing internationally at an alarming rate (look at its growth and the prospects of growth in China). Though when to jump in is another story.
GrimReaper I do not know whether to agree with you or not, it seems like you have a great understanding of the way the market works but I cannot understand what the hell you are writing. |

Hey WD, doan feel bad...nobudy else unnerstands WTF I'm tawkin bout mosta da time. I would say SBUX will rally through $21 anyhoo. Of course da time ta chort was when Jim Cramer was raising his price tawget from $40 to $46...before it even hit $40! ....dat's when I smoked it out fo da POS it truly was...and still is. MCDoog's had their chance when Al Gore was tryin ta git em to team up on the new smawt caaar he was fixin ta stawt building in Japan...da Mootsoobooshee Algore. It was gonna run on MCDoog's french fry grease. Of course MCDoog's nixed dat plan by switchin to da "low transfat" oil (not gud fer da smawt caaar) becuz they see fat lazy Americans driving up to da window everyday and stuffin double cheezboigers down their kid's gullets. MCDoog's switched plans midstream and went with a "healthy menu" and then went afta SBUX. That was the BIG mistake. MCD lost touch with its core customer Fat lazy parents who are too tired ta cook da family a decent meal cuz they can feed a van full of yunguns fer $10 dallahs...in 10 minutes or less. Dat be why MCDoog's is goin sub $20 dallahs in da next 5 years sumtime...sorry.  |

Why would Google want to buy them? Does not make a lot of sense to me. I see Grim says rally to 21. Interesting... |
