Starbucks first started trading on the NASDAQ after its IPO in June, 1992, when it had only 165 stores; now there are more than 30,000 locations. What is the coffee giant's ticker symbol?

While FRAP would make a great stock symbol, Starbucks went with SBUX as its symbol for its 1992 IPO, when it started trading at $17 per share. Here's a little jolt stronger than caffeine: if you had invested $10,000 in Starbucks stock in 1992, it would be worth $4 million today.
