Mega-Caps, India, Starbucks strikes and more

Last Friday, I stopped by CNBC to discuss my bullish setup in Microsoft, along with several other news-related opportunities in mega-cap tech and more. We covered opportunities surrounding these points:

India has great long-term investment potential due to its increasing population and need for big companies to invest and grow the middle class.
Microsoft, Google, and AMD have shown strong performance this year, with Microsoft experiencing a significant increase after earnings, making it a bullish time to trade these mega-cap companies.
Starbucks workers nationwide are going on strike after claims that the company is not allowed to display Pride Month decorations.
Strikes are happening in 22 states nationwide, gaining momentum and causing closures at the first strike location in Seattle.
Starbucks and other companies facing social issues risk alienating half of their consumer base and experiencing downward trends, as seen with Target and Anheuser-Busch, with Starbucks specifically breaking down on a technical basis and potentially falling to $85.
