Starbucks is arguably the world's most famous coffee shop chain. In addition, Starbucks Corp. is also involved in the sale of coffee beans. The company was founded in 1971 and started out as a chain of coffee shops. The first shop opened on March 30, 1971. The three founders, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker, an English teacher, history teacher and author, decided to go into the coffee bean business and opened their first shop in Pike Place Market, Seattle. For a long time, the shop was not only the first, but also the only one. But ten years later there were five Starbucks shops, in addition the company had its own factory. In addition to selling coffee in its shops, the company was also a supplier of coffee beans to many coffee houses, bars and restaurants.

Starbucks got its name from one of the characters in the novel Moby-Dick or The White Whale by Herman Melville.

Starbucks created one of the most recognisable logos in the world. The mermaid, or siren with two tails, found on an ancient engraving from the sixteenth century, is reinterpreted in the Starbucks logo, and although it has changed slightly, it remains there today, continuing the maritime theme of the company's name.

In 1987, a turning point in Starbucks history came when Howard Schultz became the owner of the company, and he made Starbucks what it is today. Schultz worked at Starbucks for several years, as director of retail sales and marketing, but was unable to fulfil his dream of creating a chain of coffee shops based at the company. So he left the company and started his own business, soon becoming the owner of the Il Giornale chain of coffee shops. He returned in 1987 and, having found investors, he bought the company. He bought Starbucks and merged the two related businesses into one company. Such an alliance proved remarkably successful, and the Starbucks chain of coffee shops under his leadership succeeded in winning over the whole world.

Today, the chain has about 24,000 outlets, which are active in many countries around the world.

In Starbucks-branded coffee houses visitors can buy coffee, tea, juice-based drinks, vegetables, berries and fruits, as well as a variety of baked goods. The corporation actively sells products under the brand names Evolution Fresh, Seattle's Best Coffee, Ethos, La Boulange, Tazo and Teavana. The issuer generates revenues not only from merchandise sales, but also from the sale of rights to use its portfolio of brands.

The company's good financial performance attracts investors. Thanks to modern technology, you too can now invest in Starbucks. Have another cup of Starbucks coffee or invest this money in the company - the choice is yours! Yes, you only need $10 to get started!

Choose how you want to invest. You can invest in Starbucks stock using the dividend method or by trading derivatives.

The dividend method is actually a classic investment option. You buy shares with the expectation of a percentage of the company's profits in the future. Dividend investing is a strategy that gives investors two sources of potential income: predictable income from regular dividend payments and capital appreciation over time through the growth in the value of the shares themselves.

Buying dividend stocks can be a great solution for investors looking to earn income, or for those who simply want to increase their wealth by reinvesting dividends. Investing in dividend stocks is a passive income with regular payouts.

The amount of dividend payments depends on the company's internal policy and is approved at a general meeting of shareholders. Although investing in dividends is widely regarded as one of the least risky investments, it is worth bearing in mind that a company may decide not to pay a dividend temporarily, investing its profits in the development of the company.

Such a decision was also made by Starbucks' management, so from 2004 to 2010 the company did not pay a dividend but instead invested all of its profits in the development of its business. After 2010, Starbucks has been paying dividends on a quarterly basis. Along with the share price, the payouts have been increasing, which exceed 1.6% per annum.

Many people choose derivatives trading as an alternative to investing in dividends. The trading of derivatives, so-called CFD (Contracts for Difference), is a popular method, although it is considered speculative. A CFD is a way of trading price movements without directly buying or selling a financial instrument. The idea behind a CFD is that one party will pay the other the difference between the current and future value of the asset. In other words, you can make money even if the price of the asset falls, but only if you are prepared for the price to fall. Trading derivatives involves your ability to analyse the market situation well and correctly predict the direction of the price.
