Another post wondering whether it’s the right time to buy Starbucks stock ( SBUX ). With earnings projected to grow at 21% annually, and shares hovering near the lowest price over 52 weeks, it does sound tempting. However, in the previous bulleted post above, Market Matador predicts that the price may fall even lower - so a little more wait might be in order.

I had no idea that coffee was an integral component of Ethiopian culture. Since I've only been to parts of Western Africa, I made an inappropriate presumption on Ethiopia without ever visiting there. Thanks for clearing that up.I thought you meant white Ethiopians because I know many foreigners reside in Ethiopia, rear children, and live within the society just like original descendants. What type of impact have the foreigners placed on Ethiopian society? Are these tourists or residents of Ethiopia? Because these foreigners are why StarBucks wishes to control the coffee trademark rights.See: http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,448191,00.html Wow.

Having been to Ethiopia, I can tell you that Ethiopians are <b>huge</b> coffee drinkers. It is totally integrated into their culture; there are ceremonies surrounded around the roasting and brewing of the coffee. It's rude to leave someones house without drinking at least 2 cups of coffee (they're a little bigger than size of a shot glass, and almost as strong as an espresso).Not "white Ethiopians", white foreigners. The point of the snipit was that only the forefingers were interested in drinking coffee at an upscale Starbucks like coffee place. Ethiopians would rather drink it in their house or at neighborhood cafes.-Brian Sorry, I should have added more color to that comment.

Africans are natural tea drinkers, however, the economic system are changing rapidly throughout East Africa. As the country increases its GDP, coffee drinking will become more affordable. But I wasn't aware of the white Ethopians, that's an interesting dynamic to consider.@ TechnifiedChina is well known for its tea drinking. But recently more affluent Chinese residents have adopted coffee, the drink of the wealthy in China. India will most likely follow suit. Personally, I prefer tea over coffee. I think coffee drinkers are more like drug addicts, rather than coffee fanatics. Maybe that claim is too judgemental, but that's what blogging is for!@ Agloco KassperStarBucks has saturated their domestic markets, so International growth is necessary for revenue growth. India and China make up half the world's population. If Starbucks can capitalize on these markets, profits will soar through the roof, assuming the competition doesn't heat up (but it will :)) @ Biotech Stock Investing

Well the bar was painted just like a Starbucks and the place was full of ferenj and business was booming, but I guess Starbucks knew what they were talking about when they said Ethiopia didn’t have a market for a coffee bar.</blockquote> FYI, ferenj is what Ethiopians call white foreigners. It's from this travel journal (but I copied everything about Starbucks): http://leaveittoavery.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/monday-day-3/ Here’s an intersting tidbit about Starbucks in Ethiopia (or lack there of):
