Hunting for the next Starbucks
Michael Moe of research and investment banking firm ThinkEquity Partners has penned a new book Finding the Next Starbucks: How to Identify and Invest in the Hot Stocks of Tomorrow “a guide on how to identify and invest in the fastest growing, most innovative companies.” Back in 1992, Moe forecast that Starbucks would be a huge winner and he’s spoken to investment gurus to outline how you can repeat that. He apparently thinks peer-to-peer networking, nanotechnology, and alternative energy are the next big growth sectors.
For the book, which comes out in fall, Moe spoke to big hitters including aggressive growth legend Richard Driehaus. He didn’t get Peter Lynch for an interview but the retired Fidelity fund manager did give him a call, which prompted him to revisit his Lynch files and ask a question relevant to current market conditions.
