Luckin Coffee never left my radar even after the whole fraud. While that is a major disincentive to invest, coffee imports have significantly increased in China.

China has historically been a tea drinking society with I believe over 95% of people being tea drinkers. Coffee has slowly been increasing its popularity with the younger generations.

https://daxueconsulting.com/coffee-bean-market-in-china/#:~:text=The%20demand%20for%20premium%20coffee%20beans%20has%20increased%20in%20China.&text=In%202019,%20China%20imported%2065,100,was%20some%20decline%20in%202019.

Forecasts are showing a fairly significant increase in coffee consumption in China.

But that begs the question why not jut invest in Starbucks.


Stay away from Luckin lol

Sincerely,
Former shareholder

Bag holder reporting in

I’m green af today tho with Tesla and Disney yeet


Theres a ton of illegal shit happening lol

It looks like theyre shorting shares, selling them at sequentially lower values to drive the price down, then just not delivering the shares by the settlement date to avoid losing money.

Illegal as hell but seems to be effective.

Something to remember is that shorts were done when the stock was like $20. Hedges still lose buying at 100+. If they closed their short positions already they would be bankrupt.

In other news I bought my 3 shares back at 125. Dips like these before short squeezes happen sometimes, and RH will open tradong again on GME soon as the price goes down.

I just don't understand why Sbux is trading near ATH, i thought you guys were semi locked down. I haven't looked at sales yet but I would have to think sales are down significantly.

Not to mention the price of the product during a period when many people are unemployed or on part time hours.

Also chilling.

I need to get to a platform that doesn't have an app if I ever want to have success investing. This is becoming abundantly clear. My ADHD will not let me make sound long term investments when I can check them on my phone.
