In 2009, investors will get a second chance at a massive growth story, says Lynn Carpenter.

Lynn says investors could double their money with Starbucks within a year.

Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz recently announced that the company would start offering energy drinks in its stores. He also mentioned that Starbucks would be getting into the “health and wellness business.” Yep, you read that correctly. A coffee chain wants to break into the health business.
