I certainly agree that it sure seems like there are too many starbucks
already - there are more than 70 in the DC metro area alone!  The Washington
Post did a feature story on them this past Sunday.  Yes, new stores do
cannibalize existing ones for the first year.  But after that, demand
increase so much that all stores are profitable.  Also, starbucks considers
their stores to be their advertising medium.  They spend almost no money on
advertising.  Who knew?   Link to the article is below.  Thanks, jg

market saturation, in this case (and Starbucks) would be where locations are
getting so numerous that the new facilities begin to cannibalize the
existing ones. If the existing ones are overwhelmed with demand beyond
capacity, that may be ok, but if not it's really bad.

Does anyone know what "market saturation" is?
 
I'm somewhat gratified by the several comments about the strength of CSTR's
chart, because my own algorithm had rated it top of about 50 CwH patterns
yesterday. It would have been better with less volatility and less volume in
the handle, but no stock's perfect.

I have a bunch of coin rolls located on my dresser and just fill them up as
I go (except for the pennies which go in a bucket in my closet) Once a roll
is filled I then use it to buy gas.  The gas station people never seem to
mind getting a $10 quarter roll or a $2 nickel roll.  It works for me
because like you I will never haul my change to the store only to be charged
for it.

Happy Trading,
David Taggart

Hi Mike,

Technically, this chart is about as good as it gets in a market like this--A
handle 8/1 to 8/14, breakout 8/15 on volume, an orderly pullback to the
pivot since then. I'd be hard pressed to fault the technicals unless you
want to argue the somewhat light volume on the right side of the cup, which
I won't, because it's insignificant in my mind.

There are a couple of things that kept me away from CSTR---high debt load
(though they've been restructuring debt recently, so they stay in my sights
in the meantime) and low ROE of 5% (primarily because they only turned EPS
positive in the last 4 quarters). Given the market is on shaky ground, I'd
rather sit back and watch the behavior of the stock than to dive
in....preferring to stalk the trade on other stocks which are fundamentally
stronger, but not yet finished with their bases. I also like to sit back and
watch most of the early stocks out of the gate after a follow-through and
see how they're acting, CSTR included.

I've often scratched my head at the business model.....seemed crazy that you
would *pay* to count your change and be happy to receive some crisp dollar
bills and a few store coupons for the "privilege." But I understand they're
appealing to a part of the population that is primarily cash-based and not
to those of us who've forgotten what it looks like and instead use our ATM
card for everything. Recently, however, I've had a greater appreciation for
their "service" as my bank has stopped waiving their coin counting fees
after doing so for, well, forever.... We've always kept a "change can" and
dumped our change each day. When it's full, it's about $200....I'd make my
ritual trek to the bank to have them count it out, then that evening we
would go out for a pricey dinner, something we rarely do. Now that they're
charging, however, the CSTR kiosks become an alternative. Personally, I'm
too cheap to pay *anybody* to count my money for me, so I won't be using the
bank *or* CSTR...but I'll bet you there are many folks who would consider
it. The blurb I saw on the OffWallStreet report mentioned something about
"saturation." Though I haven't seen the report and know nothing more than
this, I have only one thought when I hear something like that in the same
breath as CSTR----Starbucks.

| Dear Mike
|
| CSTR was a favorite of many Canslimers - with the problems we faced with
| buying CVH recently (too many chasing too few) we are seeing similar
| results, which unfortunately are on the downside.  You mentioned that
| you got into the office late.  Remember - there are people who do this
| for a living with millions at stake.  A slight smell of weakness and
| they may sell some of their position to take some risk off the table -
| selling begets selling and before you know it CSTR is down over 20%.  We
| have been in this situation several times before - and sold quickly -
| and yes much to our chagrin - some stocks came roaring back - but in
| other cases the stock kept declining.  Throw out your ego - sell - and
| if CSTR sets up again look at buying it.  I don't want to get too deep
| into wash sale rules, but you can't take and loss on CSTR if you buy it
| back within 30 days.  Good luck
