Oil prices closed higher today, with crude oil climbing 19 cents. I'm glad I filled my car earlier this week. Microsoft was no help to the market's close. After a patent hearing for the software giant, its shares fell 1.5%.
Starbucks Chairman said the company may be more vulnerable to other coffee and fast-food brands due to commoditizing. In ten years, Starbucks went from less than 1,000 stores to more than 13,000. Now Mr. Shultz is worried that the experience might be watered-down for some. Not me. My Friday Starbucks is usually the highlight of my week! Have a good weekend!
