Colvillechiro, checking out the competition takes
many forms.

What does the place look
like?
Does it feel comfortable to sit there and have a
cuppa?
Is it a clean place?
How big is the menu's
variety?
How does it all compare to Bucky's?
And,
yes...<gasp>...once in a while paying $2.75 for a large skinny
cappuccino is part of checking out the
competition.

Ya gots ta know what you're up against.

BUT
nobody as yet makes a decent equivalent of a triple
vente skim capp (my fav drink at Bucky's)! And NOBODY
has the consistency Bucky's does either, which is
reeeeeeeeeally important some bleary-eyed mornings.

So
sue me, but I think checking out the competition is
part of necessary due diligence. :-)

(research
and a caffeine buzz, all at
once...imagine)

Slap!

Sbux will rise to 35-41 as I have stated many
times on this board, All longs will be rewarded very
nicely, You have bought value and stayed with A great
company, that will add to your bottom line... buy more
sbux at these prices, if you can... We'll see the rise
very soon, only time will tell who was right.

Sbux will hit $35-41 @ share.. Don't know
exactly, but have predicted this rise and price for a long
time on this board.. all longs will be rewarded by
staying with the very best, STARBUCKS. Time will tell, et
see if this old man will be right.

Stay wqith
value Always.

SBUX is ripe for a nice jump we had a buy rec a
couple of weeks ago and the stock is half the price of
it's high.

Sales will be great the rest of the
year with college in swing along with cold weather.
Coffee warms the soul ya know

go SBUX

I could not have expressed it better. This seems
to be a problem with most of these message boards.
Maybe the folks who enjoy insulting each other could
just exchange e-mail addresses so the rest of us won't
have read your badgering.
I think we are going to
see a long slow climb because for each $ gained,
there will be a lot of folks bailing out. I definitely
see a long term rise though for those who go long.

As a potential investor, it is so nice to come to
this board and read at least two messages that are
informative and/or interesting. That should not be too much
to ask. I have seen this happen consistently in
other boards. But for some reason, informative and/or
interesting messages are really hard to come by in this
board.

I know some of you guys must enjoy
insulting each other day in and day out, week in and week
out, year in and year out. If you guys did not enjoy
it, you would not continue to taunt each other
endlessly. But please, a little consideration for the other
board members who may actually be looking for
intelligent observations on both the company and the stock
price. If at all possible, could you guys keep the
insults to maybe 3 a day. That way you don't waste your
best material all at once and you won't bore the other
board memebers to tears day in and day
out.

Thank you for your cooperation.

SBUX holders, "checking out the competition", no wonder the sales are only up 6%. :-)

I agree with DrNova and Sbuxman re: buying the
company and not the stock. I am also consistently happy
with the product and check out the competition
whenever possible.

I bought in at 20-1/2 several
weeks ago, and am very happy with that timing, though
it was through no fault of my own. I've never been a
good timer.

The question is this:

Does
anyone have any idea what percentage of the till
Starbucks gets on its collaberations with Barnes & Noble?


Believe it or not, we only have one SBUX in this part of
upstate NY and its at a B&N. I frequent it as often as
possible. Have to prop up my investments a dollar at a
time, after all.

Stay Long And Prosper (SLAP)
