Whole Foods Market: Like Starbucks, Hit by Slowing Economy, Increased Competition

thank you for the insult...

the problem with 6% comps is that you are paying 26 times EPS for shares

as for the "no one ever made money", had you shorted it after my first post when I said this would happen you would be sitting on a 30% gain in 3 months

what is your idea of making $$?

PS... i also said this last may here: valueplays.blogspot.co...

the stock was $45 then...

What Is Starbucks Doing Out There?

grimmer,

never claimed perfection (who would?). simply responded to a comment on this issue.

by the way, bought Borders recently at $4.50 (documented on my blog). that is 33% in a week according to my math?

Still hold Wachovia. As my "intro" states my holding period is "several years". Time will tell on that one..

I simply pointed out I was far from a "bandwagon" analyst on Starbucks...there is nothing "high and mighty" about that..

I also do "best and worst" calls on my blog, admitting errors is not a problem for me....

What Is Starbucks Doing Out There?

mj,

please do you homework. my first post on the subject was in Jan.2007 when the stock was just off an all time high....

one could hardly call that "finding the latest beaten down stock".

also, I called their "dairy cost" issue before management admitted it last year also....

self-righteous? no.... just "right"

Starbucks CEO Schultz: Too Little, Too Late?

it is about conveniences. an example, i have 3 kids under 4, i will not take them inside because there is just too much for them to get into.

i would stop at the drive thru.... for those inside, cleaner less crowded stores would be much better

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee: Starbucks Still Doesn't Get It

sdrucker....

nice reply... thank you

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee: Starbucks Still Doesn't Get It

it is the perception of cost that people will take into account..

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee: Starbucks Still Doesn't Get It

Mcdonald's sells coffee for 1.99 far less than the $5 starbucks does and that is the point.. why pay $5 when it can pay $2? they do not have a "premium" vs whatever else..
