Is the star in Starbucks fading?

-----------------------------------------------------------
I recently took the time to analyze one of the most popular
and iconic brands on the American scene. I am of course
talking about Starbucks.

After getting beaten down in 2008, Starbucks has made a
remarkable recovery. However, that recovery looks to be in
jeopardy based on our "Trade Triangle" technology and the
findings of a 14th century dead mathematician.

In this short video, I go into an in-depth analysis of what
is happening right now at Starbucks. With the help of our
"Trade Triangles," I point out some very fragile points in
this stock.

As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need
to register. If you'd like to make a comment on this or any
of our previous videos, please feel free.


All the best,

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 28 July 2010

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You may think you're an expert in a particular sport or game, but you're about to meet someone with superior skills. At first, you'll be jealous of your rival's abilities. In time you'll become one of their biggest admirers. If you're trying to win someone's heart, you'll need to rely on more than just brawn and good looks. Being able to engage your beloved's intellect is critical. Find out what their interests and hobbies are, then do some reading on these subjects.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) It's impossible to see eye to eye with your relatives. Your family has much different moral code than yours. You place great emphasis on beauty and elegance, whereas they place more emphasis on practicality and frugality. Don't worry too much if your nearest and dearest criticise your spending habits. Defending yourself will only draw you deeper into a quarrel. Taking a glamorous trip overseas will open new doors for you, both personally and professionally.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Be careful what you say and to whom you speak; spreading gossip will tarnish your reputation. Yes, people are eager to hear your juicy stories, but they don't respect you for them. In fact, the more you talk, the more people are convinced you are untrustworthy. Joining a religious or cultural institution will be a good outlet for your restless energy. You're especially impressed with a plain speaking teacher who applies lofty principles to mundane dilemmas.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Irresponsible spending puts pressure on an intimate relationship. Your partner is worried about the future, when all you seem to care about is the present. Usually, you're very conservative with money. Lately you've become tired of suppressing your desire for luxury. Its fine to enjoy an occasional splurge, but not at the expense of family security. Talk with your beloved about ways you can build up your savings again. The bigger your nest egg, the happier you will be.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) An arrogant attitude will be a real turn off for a potential partner or lover. You are a very accomplished person. When you rub your success in your rivals' faces, people cease to admire you. Take a more laid back attitude, especially if you're trying to win back your beloved's affection. Help a newcomer at work. By showing them the ropes, you'll win their lifelong support. This will come in handy sooner than you think, when office shake ups demand workers to take sides.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You're so obsessed with the past you can't recognise new opportunities. The chance to move into a cutting edge industry will fall in your lap. Working as an intern or volunteer won't enrich your bank account, but it will give you valuable skills you can use later. In fact, your knowledge will help you land a new job that will be the envy of all your friends. Just because you achieved success in one area doesn't mean you have to stay with it.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Friends are leading you down a dangerous path. Although it's fun to enter into the festivities, you need to know associating yourself with troublemakers will reflect badly on you. Your family is worried you've acquired bad habits from hanging out with this crowd. Appease their fears by hosting a quiet dinner for your nearest and dearest. No matter what image you have to the outside world, you're still the same person inside.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Wanting to climb the ladder of success is understandable, but you shouldn't do it at the expense of family. Before accepting a demanding job, consider how it will affect your loved ones. If you're a parent, you need to be there for your children. A position that requires lots of travel and late nights isn't appropriate for you. Jobs related to education are highly favoured now. If you're not interested in being a teacher, think about launching a business from your home.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Beware of making snap judgements. You've always prided yourself on being open minded, but you do have a few prejudices. Just because somebody lacks a formal education doesn't mean they know less than you. In fact, there's a good chance they have far more knowledge and know how about sports, entertainment, or history than you. If you need to get some furnishings for your house, comb second hand stores. You can get some great deals on stuff that is well made and distinctive looking.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your vengeful attitude is very unattractive, but you do have every right to be angry at someone who betrayed you. The longer you dwell on this injustice the more embittered you will become. You have so many options available to you. Choose the one that will afford the greatest happiness. Taking or teaching a class will give you a new lease on life. It will also put you in touch with appreciative students. It's nice to be recognised for your talent, instead of envied for it.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Miscommunications abound. Your best friend, business partner, or lover can't understand how you can be so detached about a family matter. You have had so many negative experiences with a manipulative relative that you have lost hope in their ability to be rehabilitated. Trust your instincts when it comes to a moneymaking opportunity. Working as a counsellor or advisor will put much needed cash in your pocket. This will bring you great fulfilment.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Take medical advice seriously, or you could irritate a minor condition. Avoid foods that give you headaches, rashes, or indigestion. Drink plenty of water and get at least eight hours of sleep a day. If you don't, it will be impossible to fulfil all the tasks required of you. Making your boss angry is the last thing you need. A powerful friend is encouraging you to develop your creative talent. Whenever you need a boost of self esteem, turn to this admirer.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 27 July 2010

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your powers of analysis are very strong, use them to untangle a knotty problem that's been weighing on your mind. You're trying to decide whether it's better to ignore a colleague's ineptitude or report it to your boss. On the one hand, you hate having to cover for them; it makes your job twice as hard. On the other, you hate watching them fail. Consider whether a fellow worker's influence will endanger others or not.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You exude sex appeal, so it's no wonder several admirers have you in their sights. If you're in a relationship, it will be difficult to resist the temptation of an affair. Luckily, you're a very loyal person who has lots of willpower. By focusing your attention back on your amour, you'll keep your relationship on track. If you're single, have fun playing the field for a while. There's plenty of time to make a commitment. Right now, you should enjoy your freedom!
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) It's hard to be objective about a family matter. You have a tendency to idolise the people you love. When someone falls short of your expectations, you become confused and angry. If a relative or neighbour does something insensitive or irresponsible, don't judge them. Let them make their own mistakes. Remember that even the most admirable people have feet of clay. Your challenge is to love them through both the good times and bad.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You soak up knowledge like a sponge and there's never been a better time to learn a skill that has always eluded you. A good teacher makes all the difference. Seek out someone who has good communication skills. Don't be put off by their constant criticisms. By following their instructions, you'll move past the obstacles that once held you fast. You'll know you've made progress when your instructor finally admires your work. Compliments mean more when someone is sparing with praise.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's time to get properly compensated for your talent. Finding an employer that appreciates your talent is critical. Talk to a career counsellor about improving your interviewing skills and updating your CV. Do some research into growing industries, especially if your own field is diminishing. The more versatile you are, the easier it will be to find a position that brings out the best in you. Happy with your current job? Take this opportunity to negotiate a raise or promotion.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You're a lot more confrontational than usual; it's probably because you're tired of being shouted down. You have the experience and insight to make positive changes. By pushing your agenda, you'll see impressive results. Don't worry about seeming impolite. Sometimes you have to get aggressive in order to be heard. The more direct your approach, the more successful it will be. Go ahead and contradict somebody whose contributions are utterly absurd.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Sensitivity to others can be more of a burden than a blessing. You're tired of experiencing a loved one's depression. Maybe it's time to put some distance between you. People may accuse you of being callous, but that's because they don't understand how severe the situation has become. By heading for more pleasant surroundings, you'll get an objective view of this relationship. Devise a strategy for protecting your own interests.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Working with a group really isn't your style, but it may be necessary right now. You simply can't reach your goals alone. Enlist the aid of smart, analytical people who often notice details that escape your attention. They can tell you where to look for information, while you can dig it up. You're very good at ferreting out secrets. If you've grown bored of work, think about joining a humanitarian organisation. Helping others restores your faith in mankind.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Making your mark on the world is easier than you think. You may not realise it, but several influential people admire your ability to produce results without compromising your values. If you're looking for a job, explore opportunities related to banking, government, or construction. A would be employer will be excited by your optimism and enthusiasm. Yes, many of your predecessors failed, but they didn't have your wisdom and experience.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're tired of thinking in terms of what is practical all the time. Now you're ready to take a risk. Whether it's related to business or romance is immaterial. The important thing is to obey your instincts. Yes, you might be hurt, but the pain will be invigorating. Lately, you've been lulled into a sense of boredom. This is what happens when you do the same thing day after day. Treat life like an adventure and it will reward you accordingly.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're able to cut through all the nonsense and see the heart of the matter. An authority figure who has been trying to hide the truth is in for a serious confrontation. Thanks to your probing questions and refusal to back down, you'll finally get a straight answer. Your peers admire your courage and will rally around you. Don't be surprised if they ask you to lead a fact finding commission or workers' rights group. You have what it takes to defend the interests of common people.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You can wrap anyone right around your little finger. There's never been a better time to apply for a grant, loan, or scholarship. If you've developed a crush on someone, ask for a date. It will be virtually impossible to resist your charm. If you're in a relationship, this would be a great time to ask your lover for something they have been reluctant to give, loyalty, affection, the holiday of a lifetime together; it's yours for the asking!
