While I do enjoy getting a latte as a treat, I admit that in the last 6 months I have greatly reduced my trips there. I've been talking myself out of going and instead making coffee at home. Starbucks is definitely expensive.
Well I’m not a coffee drinker but I’m still at Starbucks 3 days a week lol. I take the kids there and they love the breakfast sandwiches and refreshers. But I don’t let them get the ones full of sugar lol
You go to Starbucks for the atmosphere and name. I could never justify paying $7-$8 for a cup of coffee. My hubby just makes his own cappuccino at home.
Starbucks has the brand. It will always be around. Eventually I think they will lower prices and get into a price war with other companies It wouldn’t surprise me to bring back Schulz!.

I'm not a coffee drinker either, but also added to SBUX today. Whenever I'm at the airport, there is always a line around the corner for them. It's a huge kids hangout as well - middle school on up. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Several times a week I do need to find a place to park myself at a cafe and work remotely. But I usually choose Panera over Starbucks.
I've had to really cut back. I'm in the worst of it budget-wise now; things should get better next May when my daughter graduates from high school. But right now, I have to pay not only child support, but also doggy day care and several times a week a driver for my daughter.
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - poneyboy - 05-01-2024

Everyone is in a different situation. Family comes first over urges. Just looks at all the people who are strapped for money. They still find a way to but their cigarettes, vape and coffee
I have 5 kids all range from 5th grade to 11th. and I try and avoid fast food, movies and high end sneakers
But my kids all love Starbucks as well. They go there all the time with friends over Dunkin. I give them all allowances and they spend it on refreshers at Starbucks and the Dollar Tree store lol
I agree Starbucks will be around forever. You have to buy when its hated. Same with CVS
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - ChadR - 05-01-2024

When I do have funds, I have been investing with a different philosophy. I make a goal, which generally consists of a certain amount of shares of a certain amount of companies, and all new funds go into making that goal, and right now these goals take me about 2 years to fill. Then onto the next goal. I don't deviate from the goal because some other stock is suddenly cheap. I mean, maybe I should; I'm just noticing a difference between how I'm operating and the rest of the board.

Upstart is unquestionably my biggest loser, but once we finally get a rate cut, it will take off. They make AI for determining who is worth lending a mortgage to, and until mortgage applications swell with high demand, nobody really needs their services.

Yeah I like to spread my portfolio to different sectors and a basket of stock. I also keep dry powder to buy new names on big dips. I dont own 100 shares or 200 shares in a company. I keep it to a minimal and no more then 30 shares in each to minimize big losses. For instance I have 32 shares of META at an average price of $79. Not a bad return lol
And I keep no more then 5 stocks in a sector, and only buy the upper tier ones. I stay away from the smaller players
My watch list if full of companies I look for to buy if they hit my target price.
Today I added LLY, ABBV and MA. Those are now at 24 shares each.
My biggest losser is ADBE right now. But I'm not too worried about that one
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - MrFortune - 05-02-2024
Sold my APPL up $13 after hours and AMGN up $40. I mean this market is crazy confused right now. Sales are slowing at AAPP and they bid it up $13
I will put proceeds into GOOG most likely tomorrow and looking at SQ, DKNG and COIN
Need to add back some growth names

I use to "sell out" but over the years I've come to the conclusion that there's certain stocks one should never sell, trimming is okay. I was hoping AAPL was going to stay lower for a bit longer--I do wish they would start lowering that debt though.
