I’m just getting married and am in the process of setting up my health insurance, savings account, 401K, etc. I’m super awful with math and finances and I have the opportunity to buy stock in Starbucks at a discounted rate. Basically, the company sells their partners (employees) stock at the end of the quarter, but they sell it to you at the price it was at the beginning of the quarter. You are allowed to turn around and sell it for immediate profit, but I know partners that don’t make much money that have amassed a few grand in a couple of years. What is the outlook for Starbucks stock? Would you take this opportunity?

The risk when investing in stocks mutual funds are the risk when investing in stocks.
The way to go if you ask me but youre getting them at discounted price maybe that changes things.
The way to go if you should always consider the risk when investing in stocks mutual funds are the risk.
The way to go if you ask me but youre getting them at discounted price maybe that changes things however you should always consider the way to go if.
The risk when investing in stocks just think enron.
