Looking through the previous financial report of Starbucks and comparing the two data, it is quite interesting:
There are more than 5,000 stores. In the first half of the year, Luckin increased by 106% year-on-year. The Starbucks Chinese market increased by 45% year-on-year in the last quarter (the same China, the same epidemic). Luckin’s single-store revenue increased by 82.7% year-on-year. Store revenue increased by 19% year-on-year;
For other brands, the stores are too far apart in order of magnitude, so no comparison will be made.
$Starbucks (SBUX.US)$ $Luckin Coffee (LKNCY.US)$

A short squeeze can occur when a heavily shorted stock rises in value instead of falling. Short sellers could be looking to close out their position and can face a loss if they have to buy back the shares they initially borrowed at a higher price.
Here is a look at Fintel's top five short squeeze candidates for the week of Oct. 25.
$Biora Therapeutics (PROG.US)$ $Digital Brands Group (DBGI.US)$ $Protagonist Therapeutics (PTGX.US)$ $Altimeter Growth Corp (AGC.US)$ $Paltalk (PALT.US)$
Let's look for the next $GameStop (GME.US)$ or $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$.

$Starbucks (SBUX.US)$'s coffee made my day this morning as usual. Coffee beans could get more expensive due to a drought in Brazil and other major coffee origins, but I believe Starbucks can handle that because of its long-term relationships with coffee bean providers. If there really is a shock to the industry, Starbucks will be the only badass.
$Dutch Bros (BROS.US)$ went IPO last month and people call it the next Starbucks. I disagree. Starbucks is more than 10 times larger than Dutch Bros. Also, I think coffee can never be replaced by $Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ or $PepsiCo (PEP.US)$'s coke or $Boston Beer (SAM.US)$'s beer...they are just different. After all, who drinks beer every day right? But coffee maniacs will always stick to coffee. Thus, I think Starbucks is the best beverage stock!
Pick out your favorite beverage stocks if you disagree and tell me why!

Weekly Buzz: The level of rich I wanna be.
Weekly Buzz: "The only green stocks I own right now."
Weekly Buzz: "I’ve definitely learned my lesson this year. "

Tough week huh? We've been through a terrifying drop and some unclear upward trend this week. To deal with fear, positive vibes are definitely needed.
So welcome back to MooHumor! Let's gooooooooo!!!  
Before we get a start, pick one to let mooers know your mood:
A wise person once said: "No matter the situation, always wear a smile."That's the approach that he takes to life, and that's how he approaches everything.
When facing a difficult situation, people should always face it with positive energy. As long as one keeps smiling, things always get better. There's no exception even in the stock market right?

Share your memes and help mooers to get through the dip.
That all I wanna say. PEACE!

$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ Hello traders and investors! Let’s see how AMD is doing today!
Since our last analysis, the $ 106 did a good job holding the price, as we thought it would, however, when we finally broke this resistance this week, AMD drops sharply thanks to yesterday’s sell-off.
Now, we see that we are having some reaction, which is good, but we aren’t near any visible support in the 1h chart, so the situation is still a little bit complex to read. In the daily chart we have more clues:
It does seem that the $ 100 area is a nice support for AMD , and it is a quite symbolic price, as it is a round number. If the volume keeps increasing, a bullish reaction might give us another buy sign, and consolidate the $ 100 as a floor for AMD .
Today it is a good start, but we must wait for more confirmation. If you liked this post, remember to follow me to keep in touch with my daily updates, and please, support this idea before you leave!
Have a good day!
