I tried to pull 7k out for my 2 months in Thailand and they said i had to make a pre order for it. Good luck with this.

I’m in Toronto - the issue I see with Starbucks is they closed so many of their stores during the pandemic. In my local area the majority of the stores from pre-pandemic times are gone. Many of them were in great locations in signature buildings that they’d occupied for a long time. And they also gave up their retail partnership with Indigo - Canada’s biggest book chain. All of this to say - they’re a fraction of what they once were. To get back would require large capital investments on top of leases that are going to be much more expensive. And they now face intense competition from local independent chains. As an example - my local big box bookstore replaced its Starbucks with a local indie coffee shop that also sells fresh bread and other local specialty goods. Starbucks with its bagged lemon loaf can’t compete with freshly baked bread and cinnamon buns out of the oven. The one advantage Starbucks had - a dominant number of locations is gone. I can’t see them making a big comeback. Customers have moved on.

No dude, it’s all there in the price action, in the chart, look long enough and you will see it. This week was the confirmation that something is indeed broken with this particular stock. I don’t think anyone outside of the players that were shorting the stock at $1 in 2020 knows what the real situation is. It is true, I only have 2 things I can rely on, price and volume, any data apart from price and volume is 100% tampered with. Only the very top at Wall St probably have the real data on short interest, plus they have some insane tools not even available to retail, swaps for example. So based off of price and volume alone, why didn’t shorts continue to short it down to single digits this quarter? And if the stock found support at $10 and they couldn’t make it go down anymore, why not just run it to safe levels, $20 and short it again from there. Why bring it back all the way to $80 in a couple days. Think about it. The stock went from $17.50 Friday close to $80 on Tuesday pre market. That wasn’t retail bro. That wasn’t anyone but some very specific players that had the whole thing orchestrated for weeks or even months

$10 pre split is $40. $2-4 shorts opened prior to the split would need the current stock price to be at $0.50 or $1.00 to be closed.

Last report was up not down? I’m not making the argument tho I’m just telling OP why so many are claiming there will be a recession and that is the premise. Also if your grocery bill is up anything less then 30-50% since pre Covid I want to shop where you are shopping. Also housing, you know one of the 3 essentials people need is up over 5%. …. 3%…. Yea that’s BS.

Oh man, being green in a trade and seeing it go red is the worst. Worse than just taking a big L in my opinion. I was long a GOOG call, this was a couple years ago pre spilt, so it was like a 9k position. In less than 24 hrs I was +1000$ but I was like fuck this I want to be take 10k out of this trade. I think I was +1600 at most green then the underlying moved hard against me and I lost everything essentially.

Anyone can do it if they can pre purchase stocks before they go public. Try doing that first then you can talk.

Yeah, always. If you see peak euphoria (like that weekend in 2021 the billboards/skywriters started), people pushing very hard non-sensical statements, then you are the exit liquidity. I had a trading group get mad at me for taking gains on SPRT in pm when it ran to the highs on its squeeze. Like what are you people smoking. Huge runs in pm or ahs are not real, take the easy wins, there is always another entry especially if you have shares and options. People who saw $80 in pm this week and had shares got super lucky if they sold. That was $320 pre-split. If you have bagheld since 2021, you were bonks to not take the gift. You could have rebought 4xs the amount at $20 if you were just dying to be a longterm holder for whatever reason.
