Stock Buy $SBUX

This stock has been on my watch list seems like forever. Never before have we had such a great opportunity to pick up the shares on the discount for years and lock in that margin of safety. I am talking about 2015 price action levels! Truelly, the Gods of the Stock Market have brought a really great buying opportunity and very glad to share this with you guys. This is the proof that patience pays off as a long term Dividend Growth Investor. Wait for these exact pullbacks/selloffs that create golden entries. In my opinion, one day this company will be a dividend great one day, for the time being lets enjoy the ride.

Many stores sell pre-packaged food items, hot and cold sandwiches, and drinkware including mugs and tumblers; select “Starbucks Evenings” locations offer beer, wine, and appetizers. Starbucks-brand coffee, ice cream, and bottled cold coffee drinks are also sold through channels, such as grocery stores, warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, convenience stores and the United States foodservice accounts. As of October 2, 2016, Starbucks operated in 75 countries and overseas properties now constitute almost one-third of its stores.

    DVet,

    Big fan of the purchase. It is one I want to add down the line beyond my pitiful handful of shares I have. Enjoy that income!

      Glad to hear you like the purchase, I love the business model and the products they sell, glad to have a small piece of this pie.

      No share amount is pitiful, every share counts and everyone starts from the bottom, just gotta keep on building. I was there…

      All the Best!

    Great choice. I have Starbucks also high on my watchlist and will probably also buy some Starbucks shares this year.

      Yeah, especially at these prices they are giving it away! Enjoy the sale while it lasts.

      Best of luck.

    Vet –

    Great move going really “in” at that price. Solid purchase!

      Thanks, Lanny. I wouldn’t really say that was going “really in” at that price, it was just enough based on the size of the portfolio which is 2%. I wish I was a bit more confident and would have made just a bit larger position, especially when the capital is there, but either way, can’t be greedy. One thing I came to realization over the years is that there is no perfection in the stock market and you have to take what it gives you.

      Adios!

      Thanks, this company has great fundamentals and now from technical point of view, it looks like it will breakout over the next few months. Very happy with entry point.

      Take care.
