Increased spending from Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX  ) loyalty cards helped the company report great sales growth so far this year. In fact, the company's success with prepaid cards has been phenomenal.�

Consider these statistics:

Starbucks customers add $3 billion annually to their cards, a pace that rivals many banks. One-third of all Starbucks transactions in the U.S. are made using prepaid cards. Starbucks expects its rewards membership base to double this year, to 9 million people.

In the following video, Fool contributor Demitrios Kalogeropoulos discusses how important loyalty cards have been to Starbucks, and how prepayments have been a good indicator of sales growth in future quarters.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Peter Leeds]

  Libya without Ghadafi, much like Iraq after the removal of Hussein, will be much less stable. A power vacuum will cause Libya's already divided tribal nation to fragment into warring factions, set on competing for power and settling old scores. Meanwhile, America, Russia, and China will jostle for influence in this oil-rich flashpoint.

  This will create higher oil prices, greater volatility, and a higher risk premium built into costs of the commodity. Due to less reliable overseas oil supplies, America will look to further increase exploration and production from friendlier sources, such as Canada.

  I am expecting Questar (STR 0.00%) to be a big beneficiary of this trend. It is a leading producer and distributor of natural gas to the American domestic market. It is profitable ($36 million in Q3), and had strong 33% growth in third quarter earnings per share, year over year. It also sports a nice 3% dividend. My price outlook: $31.

  A growing population (7 billion), and an increasingly sophisticated diet among China and other developing nations have led to rapidly increasing demand for food around the world. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data, China's per capita intake of calories, protein, and fat were below the world average in 1975, but are now well above the world average. Expect this trend to accelerate in China, as well as India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and other developing nations.

  The problem is that there's not even close to enough food, while challenging agricultural environments routinely wipe out crops.

  That's where Monsanto (MON 0.00%) comes in. It enables more food to be produced on smaller parcels of land with less water usage and limited crop loss. Global demand for MON's products and services just keeps growing.  I am expecting its $20 billion in assets and constant net earnings ($1.6 billion in 2011) to translate into further gains in the share price. My price outlook:  $94.

  We are currently seeing currency devaluations from USA to Switzerland and from South Korea to the eurozone. In America in 1960, $1,000 worth of goods would now cost you $7,360, according to the web site MeasuringWorth.com. I expect inflation to continue and, since precious metals are bought in American dollars, I anticipate higher prices for all metals.

  I think Newmont Mining (NEM 0.00%) will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this trend. It is currently producing and selling gold and developing new reserves all over the world. NEM posted net earnings of $2.3 billion in 2010 and currently sits on $29 billion in total assets. I think it could trade up to $89.50.
