You know what's crazy af! I got 18 down votes for something that's 100% true! 100%! 🤣 lmao When you sell a cash secured, put the premium pays to you is the difference in the strick price and the marketprice . This means the cash that's used to secure the puts that your selling, isn't enough to cover the shares at the strike of your assigned. That premium that you think you're getting paid is actually the extra amount needed to buy the shares! The brokerage will lock the premium up as collateral until the trade is closed. Becaue, if it goes AGAINST you and your put the shares(forced to buy them), they need the cash used to secure the position to open when selling the puts Plus, the premium that you lost in that moment . You DO NOT GET PAID IF YOU ARE PUT THE SHARES! THEY TALE THE PREMIUM PLUS THE COLATERAL CASH HOLDING YOU USED SECURE THE PUTS , AND TOGETHER THEY EQUAL THE COST OF THE SHARES AT THE DAMN STRIKE PRICE! YOUR ALL WRONG! PERIOD! I KNOW THIS FOR AN ABSOLUTE FACT! Go look at the options chain right now. Do the math! The only way you get to keep some of the primium is if you win and buy back to close early. Or you get it all if the puts expire worthless. But if they are assigned to you. YOU MAKE NOTHING! CAN YA HEAR ME KNOW!? 😁🫡🤏🖕
If you don’t mind, what would you recommend ? You’re the only one constantly giving actual answers. I have some ETFs covering the Russell 3000, some on the s&p 100, some like VT and VTI which you can index how you’d like and of course some for the S&P 500 which are the ones I started with. With that I have stocks such as WM, WMT, DUK, COST, GOOGL, META, etc with track records I believe to be continuing as time passings MSFT for example has a great set up, GOOGL is cheap, and well. Given this, what do you see wrong. Especially considering you think adding VT and VTI along with others is poor planning.
2026, possible rebound (normal Wall Street year). Hopefully, too much outside interference to actually say for sure. China, Iran, North Korea, Russia/Ukraine. Tariffs. Recession/inflation/stagflation fears. Trump curveballs. ICE conflicts escalating. I could see another 10-15% DOW, Nasdaq, S&P decline by year's end and finally some breathing room. I'm not buying until next year, hopefully the losses don't get to extreme. Luckily I am diversified enough to have some gains this year (Uber, IBM, COST,
##Just went to $COST. One cart left. Shits cheaper than ever. Not a bare shelf in the place. Samples going hard. Smiles on faces. Talk of Leo from Chicago. Fuck your puts.
This idiot is already down 400k... LOL AVERAGE COST OF BULL 18.45 SHARE PRICE IS NOW 15.50. And the options are already getting smoked.
Uh, this is me. I am the catch phrase. The market always goes up. Selling now seems like a gamble. Buying now seems like a great idea on a long enough time line. Any money I'm investing now is cash I don't need which is something to always keep in mind. In 3 months it may go down, in X timeframe it will almost certainly be profitable. Especially if I DOLLAR COST AVERAGE

Keep going down COST. get back below 1000
so-called "eggs". Keeps just saying how everything is coming down, like we're all fuckin' idiots. # HEY GUY! WE BUY THINGS. WE KNOW WHAT THEY FUCKIN' COST.
COST and AAPL Costco and AAPL The top 4 'mandates' of Costco. Never, ever, break the law Take care of your customers Take care of your employees Respect your vendors... The exact words may be wrong but the principles are there. That, and they only have a 14% markup, sometimes less. I know people at Costco that I were there when we went there in 2009. Also, been to the Japanese Costco -- amazing. The hot dogs are 199 yen (which is far cheaper than the $1.99 ones) and they have A4-Wagyu... Holly fook. Yah, love me some COST, and everything I have is AAPL, except my work computer, which I am about to turn in.
Let’s drop COST to 990 tomorrow
I've been a customer of both. BJ is the shiatty knockoff version of COST. BJs seened ok at first, but they mostly sell horrid American filler food and the selection is pretty spare. The fruit/veg are not fresh and all go moldy before expiration date as the rule. Sometimes the milk is off. We shifted most of our grocery buys to Aldi after doing a bunch of comparison shopping. Aldi quality is better, their produce is actually fresh, and the selection is better. Plus I don't have to shop like a pandemic hoarder there. Only reason we still have a BJs membership is that there is no Costco within a reasonable drive. Share price for both reflects this.
$COST. Been getting rich af off their ever increasing stock for years, and shop there every week. KIRKLAND4LYFE
I shop AMZN and COST, and use GOOGL everyday, working on my computer loaded with MSFT. But I’m currently typing this message on an AAPL phone
I take this to mean that KO and COST are less afraid of this govt than they are their customer base.
Making moves is what's causing me to lose money lol. Sell COST at it's lowest, buy BRK.B, Warren Buffet announces he's retiring. If I was in a coma, I would have all my gains
Nice; I have around 20k across SPY QQQ in puts. Have some others in there as well. Added DRI today Jan 26 puts at 200 and 185. DASH I was in on 200$ puts and a 175 put as well for Sept. My January 26's also include COST and WMT though so call me a nutter. I think the consumer is gonna be weak as hell
Take like $1500 and buy KO or COST or something boring and promise yourself you won’t sell it until next year. At least you’ll walk away with something
DRI 195 and 185 Puts for January 26 buying tomorrow DASH Sept 200 and 165 Puts TTWO 230 June Puts luckily purchased the day before they killed GTA6 Finally my least popular WSB choice is COST Jan 26 960 poots. 500 shares of MO that I sell CC's with 100 shares of GLD had to get my CC back this am and lose 40$ :( Buying up RDDT for the long haul so I can sell covered calls and join theta gang Also gambling this month on DDOG having a bad day tomorrow but hey; what do I know just a degenerate ghey bare
If WMT comes down with it's guidance COST will follow like a domino.. it's a beast but it's a retail store valued at 58x P/E... People gonna be sad when it comes down to earth.
Now do COST and you'll be alright in 3 months.
this is a bad market getting worse any pumping lately will be punished. looking @ you COST, UBER,
LOL, yeah thats not why movies are dying. Movies are dying for the following reasons : * ***Streaming*** * Ease of Access to cheaper workforces * Better filming locations * More Actors want to work closer to home * Film Budgets are overinflated * How hard it is to break into hollywood's actors so less actors as a result / less workers as well * Films are competing with each other and are having tons of monetary problems as theaters become less relevant. * Cost inflation. * **PRICE TICKET Inflation** * **COST / TIME problems (people are not happy with how long films have become and as a result most people are more willing to see 'event' films more as a result.** * **Cheaper costs abroad** Its really not hard to figure out whats going on, and thats just from googling for a few minutes and some compulsory knowledge of filmmaking from my family's history and when i studied film development in college. A lot of movies are made here in america still, such as Georgia, they are just moving out of California/Texas because well how expensive it is to shoot there with temperature increases so you have to protect it. And its over-populated. So its just another trump 'attacking' something that is a more complicated issue than issuing fucking tariffs on it.
WHY THE FUCK DOES AN 60 YO DOUBLE WIDE COST $450K
I wish I would have bought into COST when he was selling it during the pandemic.
Warren Buffett’s cash pile(360B) would make it the 25th largest company in the world if it was a stock. JUST HIS CASH ALONE…. They could buy any of these companies all cash no debt: ASML $360b COST $350b ORCL $340b KO $330b they already own 9% The list goes on: Toyota, Chevron, Merck, PepsiCo, etc. etc.
This is the way… if you haven’t learned this so far lemme teach you. ALWAYS GET YOUR COST BASIS BACK. When you have a runner, sell as many contracts as you need to get back your original investment, or more. This way, you are playing on “Casino Money” / House money. There is no way you can lose a $1 if the rest of the contracts go to shit. 💩 However, it’s better to sell enough contracts so that you get your money back + some … so no matter what happens you profit. Then, you let the rest of the contracts go to the moon! 🌙 This way - you won’t regret not holding them cuz you’ll still partake in the huge profits, but you also don’t regret not selling them because you have your money back, hopefully w some on top.
Y’all just finished a Costco run, and let me tell y’all shelves are getting empty. They legit had 10 pack of paper towels left, milk was getting over. There were far fewer people and supplies I’ve seen. Almost reminded me of COVID. I’m at the very least buying puts on COST
How can Berkshire sell its own shares? They can only repurchase existing shares. Any quotes about timing the market have nothing whatsoever to do with buying individual stocks based on an assessment of the price relative to value. Would you buy COST at a P/E of 60? Probably not. So you’d agree that it’s illogical to overpay for a stock and that it has nothing to do with timing the market.
The Shiller P/E for the S&P 500 is 35. PLTR has a P/S ratio of 106. TSLA has a P/E of 164. What is this, a bear market for ants? No. The S&P 500 won’t bottom until speculative stocks tumble over 80% and AAPL and COST have P/Es closer to 20.
Yup. The Shiller P/E for the S&P 500 is 35. Can add COST, WMT, SBUX, and TSLA to your list of overvalued stocks.
Why is costco shares so costly just cause their name is COST 
I don't try to predict anything, but rather find things that are *currently* doing well. Some of the tickers I've moved into this week: WMT, KR, M, HSBC COST I can't afford, but would SOXL & UNG for shorter-term plays
Hello, new here but been trading options for 27 years. Have done all types but now just do naked puts, cash secured. I've tried and used all the Greeks etc. WTF? I now do simple trades that plain old make money pretty stress free. Previously I have written a book telling of my history called 'Selling put options my way' on AMZN, I show how i made roughly 2 million and lost lots of it.. But i wrote it in 2005 so many changes since then. The biggest is weeklies instead of only monthly's. This is 2025 May 2. Here are two trades i have done for next week. (did today) Sold COST may 9th with Costco trading at $1010 I sold the put for the 925 strike. Got .15 cents. with 85 points of cushion. Free money Another today is using WMT 30 of the next week 95's got .23 with WMT moving right along and 3.5 points of cushion Also today using WMT sold next weeks 94 strike and received .35, again free money. So there are my trades so for using May 9 ex date Pick a good stock, Give some cushion and forget all the candle stick' and other gooblegook. Just use your brain! Good luck all Jerry

COST calls? 
Consumer defensive stocks have been rallying nonstop this month.  WMT and COST on a tear today. 
Finally felt something this week. Scalping COST 5/9 $1020 CALLs this morning for the win.
> APPLE ESTIMATES $900 MILLION IN COST INCREASES ON TARIFFS IN Q3 That's like 0.6% of their quarterly revenue. Tariffs got literally no impact on Apple. Still a cash cow.
So many obviously overvalued stocks out there, e.g. AAPL, TSLA, PLTR, COST, LLY. Clown market.
Why did this get downvoted and negative comments? It's a perfectly reasonable question. I feel like Redditors can be so negative... anyways... Several incorrect / misleading comments: "The principal investment value of a money market fund stays constant, other than *maybe* in some really extreme scenarios. It's not an asset that climbs or dips." This is misleading, because in a MMF, the ASSET price is always pegged at $1.00. But, the YIELD changes based on the fed interest rate. Internally, MMF make money by short term lending to financial institutions, and the COST of that money is set by the fed rate. This is literally the "money market". So, the yield on MMF can change quite a lot. \--- "Buy-and-hold is a proven winning strategy. Timing the market is a proven losing strategy" This doesn't apply in this case. We're not speculating on asset price since it's fixed. We're using yield rate to our known advantage. \--- "Do you guys not know basic arithmetic. Inflation yoy is 2.2% fidelity cash pays 4.4% interest apy." This comment has no place here.. \--- "MMFs are an ever so slightly riskier version of a savings account with an ever so slightly higher return than a typical HYSA. They're more stable than stocks, but you're not going to see the returns that stocks often see. MMF returns are also more susceptible to market trends, whereas HYSAs are not." Is true, and that's good feedback. But, MMF really are about as safe and they can squeak out a bit more money. Internally, HYSA are money you effectively invest in an FDIC insured fund which ends up invested in very similar short-term assets as MMF. You have to choose whether you want the BANK to keep that extra yield for FDIC protection OR keep it yourself. \--- Hope that helps, and I think now is a great time to get into MMFs.
WMT trading at a higher multiple than AMZN and COST trading at almost 2x AMZN multiple. Clown market.
COST might be the stonk of all time
Someone needs to make an ETF with the regarded stocks that never go red. PLTR SPOT NFLX MSTR CVNA COST AAPL
COST did the same. Meanwhile META, "We're dark MAGA now because Zuck wanted to wear gold chains"
Welp my META and COST calls are FUCKED
No, you can compare SPY to COST pretty easily (for 30 years rather than 40) and you end up with about 2.75x if you invested in Costco. $0.38M v $1.09M, 10% v 18% annualized return. This is an investing sub, are people unfamiliar with Costco stock performance?
Costco and Walmart can withstand tariffs for some time but small businesses will be kaput. We will only have giant corporations left by the end of the year so calls on WMT and COST and puts on ACI
BUT THEY DIDNT LIST THE COST OF BIDENS INFLATION ON THEIR SITE??? /s
🥭: “NOOOOOOOOO DON’T DRAW ATTENTION TO THE COST OF TARIFFS!”

Number 1 rule to trading.. protect your capital AT ALL COST!
You don’t understand the difference between profit then, and PRODUCTION COST. The cost to make the iPhone 16 Pro Max is about $10 though, yes. The only difference is making them in the US or not. The components cost what the components cost. The labor cost is about $10 per phone. If that went to $50, it would be a 500% increase. So the fake media is twisting those numbers to mean that with a 500% increase in production labor costs, that the iPhone would increase by 500% as well, making it $6000. I’ve watched them do it, right there on my screen. But a 500% increase in labor production cost would mean a $40 cost increase for the company, from $10 to $50. This is how the media uses numbers and lies about what they mean. All of that other stuff that you’re talking about is just conjecture. There were hundreds of textile factories here in the US just 20 years ago. We afforded clothes then just fine. Making clothes though isn’t a matter of national security interest like making tech, and making automobiles is.

Thanks. I hold shares of quite a few solid companies and some sensible ETFs (SPYI, VXUS, VTI, COST, QQQI are my biggest holdings). and gambled away 6% of my brokerage and am glad it wasn't more and that i learned from it
Why WMT and COST down? Like people are not doing groceries any more?
BRK.B , VOO , COST ... do nothing , watch your money grow
COST didn’t either Must be a retail thing
Feeling bad for my lil guy COST Glad i picked up another share for $949 tho😎 https://preview.redd.it/r18hlyugivwe1.png?width=1008&format=png&auto=webp&s=77ab9ef9663090b3644398a8eb68bdbe8fcf042d
MSTR, SHNY, AMZN, BROS, COST, BRK-B options in play lets goooooo
Instead of saying what my fair price is (for me is too expensive to do a deep dive), I want to compare it to other companies. Similar in the field TGT, 2 fintechs and googl |Ticker|2026 - fPE|EV/EBIDTA|PEG| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |COST|48.9|35.56|**5.83**| |TGT|9.8|6.65|**1.97**| |SOFI|27.5|\-|**1.23**| |XYZ|11|24.51|**0.50**| |GOOGL|16.6|13.74|**1.55**| All of these companies are cheaper than COST imo. Even if it's continues to grow 10%/y, how much more expensive can it be. My mind is made, but I wanted to see the other side. The side of COST enjoyers. What is their fair price.
#GOOG AVG COST: $192 lets go $300
Tell me more. $192 COST AVG rn
#Cmon GOOG im stuck at $192 AVG COST
#Goog AVG COST: $192 LETS FUCKIN GO NEARLY ALL IN
?? What you talking about dumbass, YOU AND I ARE PAYING THE COST!! He’s fucking you and I and you’re smiling about it.
That's may be all true. I would agree COST is great company. What would you say is fair price for company with these fundamentals?
Wtf doesn't COST just do a split
TGT puts. WMT/COST calls.
DEI backlash is just sensationalized politics headlines for the left to stroke their boners at and made bigger than it actually is. Consumer and foot traffic is down for MOST physical retailers. TGT vs WMT vs COST they serve different demographics and those venn diagrams rarely intersect. Tariffs are coming and they're fucking everybody hard (some harder than others) Margins are fucked (yea i agree there), earnings are flat (its a damn miracle they're not in the toilet) AMZN is eating TGT's lunch, mixed feelings amazon is the ultimate convenience online retailers but you just can't beat being able to buy something physically within the hour. TGT is on the ropes but they are far from down and out.
Brother, he said 2 TRILLION The actual number now is 150 billion, and even that number is probably bullshit AND it involved cutting critical things that will COST America more in the long run so it's only IMMEDIATE savings, not ACTUAL SAVINGS.
I won’t trust this market until Trump and company are gone. We pulled our money out and put it into a MM making 4%. We also own Costco $COST.

ok is this money that you might need access too? or is it long term savings money? how much do you guys make a year? step 1: build an emergency fund. especially since it sounds like the 2 of you are in the same business id make sure you have at least 6 months of expenses in something like a money market or HSA. this will grow a bit, but be accessible quickly if you need it. step 2: pay off any HIGH interest debt like credit cards, your mortgage is VERY low interest and you can likely earn more with the money than youd save by paying it off so just pay what you need to on that but not one penny more. step 3: if this is for long term and you just want it to grow, for the average investor, if you just want to do the statistically best thing, youll want to put it in a LOW COST index fun like vanguard. something were it can just sit an grow gradually. this is gonna be your best way to get any advantages form the market. and congrats, this super volatile market is probably a great time to buy low if youre planning on sitting on it and not touching it for AT LEAST 5 years, probably more like 10-15 years. if you do this however youre not gonna want to have to be touching this money for the business or other expenses. its job is to sit and grow. if this is not what youre needing (you mentioned making cash from it) you can either look at high dividend funds (but watch out, you want to avoid funds that charge fees like the plague, these will seriously eat up your profits. like the vanguard high dividend yield ETF) or find some nice short terms savings bonds that can give you some steady cash yield and be semi liquid. just know statistically you wont do QUITE as well here as you could do in index funds, but it will be less volatile and produce some steady income.
Seeing TSLA go up makes me wanna buy more COST and WMT so I know I’m in something stable.
MSFT revenue has more than doubled since 2018. AMZN revenue has nearly tripled since 2018. For NVDA it is well over 10x. Could go on and on and on with LULU and GOOGL and WMT and COST and MA and many many more. So top line growth with supporting bottom line growth doesn't fundamentally mean capital appreciation?
I’m just a guy (and I work for the company at night, lol), but the consumer retail stuff like KR, COST, and PG have sometimes been up during tariff crash days, I have noticed so far. I suppose that people in the short term still need to buy things, indeed may buy even *more* things at first to stock up before tariffs hit supply chains. Meanwhile, places like kroger are free to increase the prices and blame tariffs (same regarding cutting payroll). Short term, very short, Kroger might make a killing 💁♂️ it’ll just be a problem when all those cheap things they mark up stop coming into the ports.
i'm trying to buy at least 1 spot oz of gold. you can buy that shit online from COST.
Bought a SPY 504 put exp. 5/1 and it's down 20% already :( must try to diamond hand but also not freak out and sell it for a loss. I said I was done with options and just gonna buy COST and SPYI but i guess i lied to myself lol At least i had a decent first day back at work after a week off :)
COST Cant keep it in stock
That's what I'm doing, my portfolio has two pies. One growth, on defensive. Both 80% broad market etfs. Difference is the defensive 20% stocks are BRKB, MSFT, COST, WMT, JNJ Growth one is MSTR, NVDA, PLTR, SOFI, HOOD, META Just under 2/3 of my money is in growth, but I'm currently monthly dcaing into the defensive. Got crypto too which isn't even doing half as bad atm. Haven't bought any more since Nov though and locked some profits in Jan.
Bought a COST share and made a little bit of profit on my FOMO SPY 508 and 505 0dte puts :)
This slow no volume bleed out with the dollar going down too is just bleak. My puts are up 200% BUT AT WHAT COST
A lot of us bought stocks like COST and UNH because they have decent dividend yield and perform better in bear markets.
HOW DO I DOLLAR COST AVERAGE WHEN THE DOLLAR IS GOING DOWN 
only $COST hasn’t raised their weiner prices  $1.50 for life
i’m up 11% overall. Pre crash I was around 25% so down 15% since then. I’d be up a bit more if I didn’t buy stocks in the last few months, though. Those are the ones that really hurt me. 30% of my portfolio is in COST at an average purchase of 529, so that really keeps it afloat.
My 1 share of GOOG is down around $50 from where it was a few weeks ago, but still up around $50 from my entry :shrug: Thats my whole portfolio unfortunately My 401k is still up pretty good tho since like a third of it is COST with under $500 average, and that stock is one of the only ones i saw barely move at all with all this nonsense lately
