EOD

I want to start posting my take's on the day at the end of the day. So will use this post to do that on following days I'll post in the comments section.

Anyway, spent most of today disconnected, when I did get home I saw that Starbucks (SBUX) was down about 4% on it's warning due to increased costs. I think this is a half truth, yeah costs are increase, but I also believe their brand is in decline and that the consumer as a whole will become less and less interested in 3 dollar cofees.

Also, I don't understand the differential in price for iced coffee versus regular coffee, the product is ostensibly the same just with ice, yet it the price is not the same as it's smoldering hot brethren.

SBUX closed at 26.26 and was down further in after hours. I'm thinking the downside may be between 22-24, would need to reevaluate my put position at that price. Also considering buying a call if there is a high volume down day on no news, might be a nice trade on a near term bounce.

Couple links, loved this first video, the dude is really pissed. Love the lame excuse about the auction establishing a "fair market" price.
