I like my coffee green

498 views

Consumer stocks are rocking hard – all through 2011 and now in 2012.
SBUX is growing at double digit growth.

This is another example of the brand power and great management, clearly a success in turnaround.
$9 in 2009 to $48 now and new highs daily.

North American growth has been stable, but a lot more to come in the rest of the world.
If a store doesn’t make $$ they close it and open new, margins are growing – because they CARE about them.
SBUX was a value play, but has come out a winner..

The question is – can you buy it now? Hey – that is for you to decide.. I just point out the winner…

It is always surprises me how easy it is for an investor and trader to buy
a bitten down stock and how hard for them to buy 52 week high… WRONG

Don’t forget the divident.

Happy trading,
Mr.P

  1. Nothing wrong with DNKN either; they’re at every rest stop in Massachusetts.

    • hey hey I was thinking of buying Timmy last week .. my order never got filled.. have to take a look at it again… restaurants are rocking big.. look at YUM

      • IDK about Timmy’s, Old Turkey. They seem to be building a lot but the stores are not busy. I remember a couple of years ago someone on BNN saying when they franchise out they could care less if stores are within a block of each other. I know you like the divvy. Not sure how successful they are east of Buffalo. There’s a lot of competition, that’s for sure.

        • you are right THI is not doing well in US but doing awesome in canada… after all he was a hockey player 🙂

  2. By the way, your RIG trade panned out. As I said before, I am in it longer term and there was also some insider buying in early December at these current levels.

    • yes I saw that thing RIG did, but same as PMs this year I prefer to deal with midsize or juniors in energy… scaling out of Black Pearl… huge win for me this month…

      • Congrats on PXX partner. The other day I saw PVX fricken pop and I was so mad at myself for not getting in on the dip at $9-ish as I had it on my watch list. Now, if you recall, this was a company Fitz had mentioned at least 2 years ago when it was at $6 and I brought it to your attention. Anyway, I see PVX at $11 and was like, WTF, what happened? I am so mad at myself.

  3. what do u both think of wnr,chk,bhi,hal at the moment?

  4. Dick,
    oil services certainly look attractive here, but who is smart enough to pick a winner among majors 🙂
    For my choice I would suggest OIH instead of HAL and BHI .. too much individual risk in 2 of these.
    WHR is all about crack spreads, than again it is all depends on how much risk you want to take.. unlike Fly i believe refiners are the weakest link in oil companies.. but I do trade them form time to time, do not hold them for long.
    CHK – if natty stays where it is for another 6 moths… natty majors are toast… I mean they will be bought at fire-sale prices, much lower then their are today.. they only have short term hedges… again I would prefer FCG if I to buy this sector.. less risk.. of course if for some reason natty prices get squeeze it will pop very hard..

    • I agree with Mr. Partridge and would take the OIH over BHI and HAL for a longer term hold. BHI reports BMO on Jan. 24 and HAL reports BMO on Jan. 23 so there is some additional risk involved prior to earnings. I like to see insiders buying myself and there’s been no purchases by insiders at BHI and quite small at HAL. One never knows what to expect from a company prior to earnings.

  5. UPDATE: for the 50 roll

  6. UPDATE: 50 roll complete… took some off, just riding now… made enough to pay for my coffee for a long long time
