On today's edition of "MarketFoolery," the new daily podcast from The Motley Fool, we discuss the following questions:
Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz told The Wall Street Journal, "It's very possible that Starbucks as a corporation will be marketing and selling multiple products that don't have coffee in them or coffee associated with them." Should investors be excited or terrified?
Schultz also expects Starbucks to make some acquisitions over the next couple of years. Why does one of our analysts think Peet's Coffee & Tea (Nasdaq: PEET) would be a good candidate?
Mattel (NYSE: MAT) closed its flagship store in Shanghai just two years after it opened and sent Barbie on a "Pink Bus Tour" of China. What does Mattel need to learn about branding in China? (And more importantly, where should Barbie go on her tour?)
One financial writer says Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) chairman & CEO Warren Buffett's problem is "that he only understands balance sheets and earnings." Can I have that problem, too?
