Hyperactive Starbucks Traders Need to Switch to Decaf

The real trade on Starbucks is to buy in right before they issue their annual report and then sell right after. That way they give you a free Starbucks gift card and you don't have to worry about it trading ex-dividend date. I'm not sure the tax implications or how they figure out the ex-Starbuck card date, but I'm sure that addictive little extra jolt of coffee keeps nervous traders coming back again and again.
