I like 4-5 weeks out...

$SBUX Taking new short Put positions ~ Targets $91/$85/$78

I think it will get that zone once 90 breaks


There’s a tiny double gap from about 84.5 to 83.5. That’s the sweet spot imo

🎯 Target $78 🎯

Hope we break below 90 this week...

As did i. Still watching and waiting..

I got stopped out but i think shorts will do well mid term...

They scam big time

Shorts gonna do well

Agree, would love to see a break a below 92 today

She’s loving that temp support of 92ish but a nice breakdown of that and she’s heading for that gap fill from 90-high 70’s..lower highs every day too…

$SBUX *Top Short Play* ~ Inflated here on last weeks CEO news ~ Horrible pay package for shareholders. No near term turnaround for #Starbucks in near future with the possibility of more lockdowns coming!

🎯 $83 then $78 🎯

How it rose last week, there really is no support here right now...

I agree... that was a years worth of upside last week on that ceo news... things will take time to turnaround and I am not totally sold on this guy... targeting mid 70's right now..GL

Shorting at this point looks like a good idea after that massive gap up on the new ceo hire

$SBUX Went Short Here: Sept 27th 90 Puts $1.28

Alot. Things are i wont say out of hand but a different hand. Paying up front for performance imo to the new ceo. As long as Starbucks people keep buying their drinks and food and whatever I just don’t get it. I drink coffee at home, not paying five dollars for a coffee every day once in a while I got a vanilla bean cream, but I get that free on the banks for opening up a new credit card once a year.

How much lower can SBUX go???

In some puts for September

SBUX Short @ $95.13
A C suite change.
+25% rise in the stock price today is euphoric, premature, me thinks.

Perhaps you should point your employees to the mental health section in their health plan.

You have no right to paint rainbows coming out your ass! If you think otherwise, it's time for you to spend the next 72 hours in a padded room!

SBUX Anyone notice the Starbucks "experience" has gone down.
While there are still lovely young men and women working as Barristers, the ranks are peppered with rough young men, punks even.
I know it's hard to hire now.
But I wonder why I would continue to pay $3 + $1 tip for not good tasting coffee, and have occasional poor experiences?
The immigrants working the counters at McDonalds are generally much nicer. And the coffee is about .71 inc tax, with free refills.
Who needs Starbucks?

Coffee: Reduce risk of Heart Disease

Starbucks will close 16 U.S. stores, mostly on the West Coast, by the end of July because of safety concerns, according to the company. Most of the stores set to close are in the Los Angeles and Seattle metro areas.

“We’ve had to make the difficult decision to close some locations that have a particularly high volume of challenging incidents that make it unsafe for us to operate,” a Starbucks spokesperson told CNBC.

The map below shows the six stores in California and the six in Washington State that will close. The coffee chain will also close two stores in Portland, Oregon, one store in Philadelphia and another in Washington, D.C., also for safety.

Starbucks will close six stores in Greater Los Angeles and six in the Seattle metro area.

‘We cannot serve as partners if we don’t first feel safe at work’
Concern about store safety was central to a letter to employees published on Monday from Debbie Stroud and Denise Nelson, two senior vice presidents of U.S. operations at the coffee chain. The letter cites several societal safety concerns, including increased violence and drug use in the area of the stores.

“We know these challenges can, at times, play out within our stores too. We read every incident report you file — it’s a lot,” the letter said. “Simply put, we cannot serve as partners if we don’t first feel safe at work.”

The closures come at a unique time for Starbucks as more stores vote to unionize: over 100 of the company’s 9,000 U.S. stores since workers at a store in Buffalo, New York, became the first to join a union at the end of 2021.

One of the 16 stores being shuttered, 505 Union Station in Seattle, had also voted to join Starbucks Workers United — a fact that the union tweeted about after the announcement.
