		<description>Hi Lawrence,

I think that luxury items like $5 cups of yummy coffee will not be enjoyed as often when the cost of gas is going up.
That is a good observation about consumer confidence reflected in consumer products. I think the holiday season will be another gauge of the economy's direction.  I think we will see extraordinary deals this season as retailer try to make every sale possible and rid of inventory.
Thanks again for the comment.
Cheers!

		<description>Hi Chessnoid, 

Interesting observation about correlation between Starbucks and the economy in general., but I think you make some sense here. 
The general consumer confidence is truly reflected in stocks of consumer products like Starbucks.

Interesting post.
