Thanks. I saw such a comparison before (the kind you mention), and still decided to stick with investing in Starbucks, and I was wondering what the strength of my decision was. In the end, I have been a heavy user of Starbucks since I first found them, so I thought I would at least have a better chance of understanding their business.
That makes no sense. Obviously geographic politics of that region are foreign to you. Pakistan and China are a unified threat to India, thanks, in no small part to the US and its foolish dogmatic pursuits (good examples would be Carter, Madeline Albright, etc.). China's infrastructure is like a joke in irony. Have you heard of the pollution? Or the roads to nowhere? Or the trains that fall off rails and wagons that are buried with people still dying in them? India has its own problems, but blindly claiming China is ahead doesn't make much sense. Despite all of her problems, India allows its citizens to have some kind of democracy, which has only steadily and ever so slowly improved over time. I value that higher than some mutual fund index I could give less sh*t...

The 2.3% medical device tax brouhaha is nothing but a way for large, poorly performing companies and their shills to place blame somewhere else besides their own professional and accomplished incompetence. Take it from someone in the industry.
I have held on to it, and ask expected close to doubling, the stock price has stagnated a bit. Moreover, if you are long, they will emerge successfully from the slowdown in India and globally, in a year or two.
So, shut the government down and things will fix themselves? Or, spending is okay, as long as someone you like is doing it? What a genius idea. By the way, why wasn't there a big fight to make the payroll tax cuts permanent?
