The last time I talked about Starbucks (SBUX) was in early March of this year and I thought it was time to revisit the company's stock to see if it's improved since the announcement by the company that it would refocus on the customer experience. I'm one who believes that stock price is proportionate to the level of service that a company provides. Looking at the chart for Starbucks, my assumption is that consumers and investors aren't impressed...


There's an interesting conversation going on over at the Starbucks Gossip blog about a recent news release which reported that the company blames the weak economy for the decline in earnings. Many of the people leaving comments don't believe that the economy has anything to do with the decline. They believe that investors have lost faith in the company and are pulling out.

What do you think?
