It looked good on paper (low on left, high on right) with the 5 year projection being almost 200% growth and the increasing dividend. But the other important factor here is that since my wife loves Starbucks, this is a way to get her involved and interested.
She's great with money. In fact she handles all the bills and everything. But we haven't been investing. She's never done that before, so this is a good way for both of us to dip our feet in the water.
Thanks to all of you, and especially Greg for helping explain it all!

Think about it --- when the thread was started (12/2011)-- SBUX was $22 a share. Oh well..... better late that never!
