Cliff Notes: EYL & Kamala Harris Discuss Lack of Access to Capital for Black Entrepreneurs

In this insightful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the recent challenges faced by Starbucks. From a significant stock decline, dropping from $126 in 2021 to approximately $73, to cultural backlashes and operational missteps, they cover everything influencing Starbucks' current market position. They also discuss the potential role of Howard Schultz in reviving the brand and what it might take for Starbucks to regain its competitive edge. 
 As Starbucks faces backlash from various communities and reported conflicts in the Middle East affecting their sales and brand image, the discussion also touches upon broader themes of boycotting and corporate responsibility. Moreover, they explore how Starbucks' response to these issues and its attempt to enhance customer service, like improving the mobile order and rewards system, could be pivotal. 
 The clip doesn't just highlight problems but also deliberates on whether these dips in performance represent a buying opportunity for investors. With the price point nearing $63, Rashad notably shifts from critique to potential endorsement, provided the company addresses its shortcomings. 
 Join us on Market Mondays as we unravel whether Starbucks can blend its way back to the top amidst the brewing troubles and if it's the right time for investors to stock up.
