June was an interesting month in the market. Dividend cuts continued to slow, despite a few surprise dividend cuts. Economies continue to reopen and the weather continued to get better. Still, the economic and political environments remained as tense as ever.

The month of June was coming to a close and I was looking for another investment opportunity. For the second half of the month, I had one of the most publicized companies on my watch list. The company’s stock price had began to fall. Having added to my position earlier in the year at a higher price, I was instantly excited for the opportunity to add to this coffee giant. Here is why I added to my position in Starbucks (SBUX) in June!
