If It’s Raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks: The Investor’s Guide to Profiting from Market-Moving Events
This insightful and accessible guide helps individual investors understand how global news and seemingly unrelated events can impact the stock market — and how to profit from them. Written by economist and professor Peter Navarro, the book teaches you how to think like a savvy trader by connecting dots between news headlines and market movements.
Whether it’s a drought in South America or a spike in oil prices, Navarro explains how to interpret events in real time and translate them into actionable investment strategies. The title’s metaphor — if it’s raining in Brazil (impacting coffee production), buy Starbucks (a major coffee retailer) — perfectly captures the book’s core message: be alert, think globally, and act strategically.
Full of real-world examples, intuitive concepts, and practical tips, this book is perfect for beginner and intermediate investors who want to make smarter, faster, and more informed decisions in a news-driven market.
