Hovde sets price target for COST at $16, am I reading this right?
wtf COST, dump everyday
I’ll pick something different than the comments and go with COST. Costcos stock is pretty expensive per share but has remained solid year after year. Unless corporate super screws the pooch and alienates their customers I don’t see them slowing down.
COST has been nothing but a disappointment since I bought it
What assets would you buy? I have a hard time seeing anything worth buying. Metals are over-extended and trade with the market now. The best consumer goods companies have very high valuations (i.e. COST, WMT). Healthcare and pharma are OK, I guess, but not too thrilled about those either.
VT COST GOOGL US and EU defense & aerospace ETFs. Next gen battery tech like AMPX BTC
PG and COST may not be bad, not sure when is best to get in, PG looks like it's formed a downward channel. I'd either wait for a reversal or maybe try and catch it at the bottom of the channel, at least it's easy to get out of if it breaks below the channel or hits the top and can't break above it.
I buy the stocks of products that i use. APPL, NVDA, AMD, CELH, YUM, COST, etc... I don't invest in the little things that i use but the big things that I have faith in. At the end of the day tho i only play with like 10-20% of my portfolio for individual stocks.
COST, GOOGL, and UNH are the only stocks I own. Besides that, just your run of the mill ETFs
I just need COST to hit 1010 today so my port can break even 😭

I knew today was fucked when COST and LLY were the only green tickers on my watchlist lol
I'm OK with the market tanking if that's what it takes to get the shit stocks like TSLA, PLTR and COST to fair valuation.
MSFT, NVDA, COST, AAPL, GOOGL, RKLB, ASTS I know there is overlap between some stocks and some ETFs, I like keeping a small percentage of the portfolio for more active monitoring of specific stocks, as opposed to DCA the ETFs.

Why did COST have a bad year?
COST has been stuck in a trading range for like 6 months
The Costco (COST) indicator is going off. Whenever it nears 900 something bad happens and it rallies 5% before selling off again. Prepare for some random black swan news.
I don't dislike KSS as a customer, but I have a difficult time seeing it still around in 5 years. Feels like people continue to shift towards the convenience of larger entities (Amazon, WMT, COST) and departments/specialty stores will continue to struggle. Stock is heavily shorted and wouldn't surprise me short-term if you saw a more signifcant short squeeze but beyond that I just don't see it. JWN went private at an offer that was like half the offer the family made years prior, M will probably continue to shrink, etc. It's still extraordinary that the offers in the low $60's were so aggressively rejected by KSS - they should have said thank you and how fast can we get this done? Maybe an offer pops up again, but no guarantees of that happening or being approved if it does.
sideways trading -> sell puts sell calls ? if I had the liquidity I would just sell MSFT and COST puts every week

COST below $920 is a buy everytime damn.
WMT, BRK, and COST are green. They have not dropped at all.

You’re so dumb your own source says you are wrong but you don’t understand it enough to know why. This is about RATE OF INCREASE, not TOTAL COST.
Every time COST hits 900 something bad happens across the market and it rockets back up 3% in a day. It's currently at 924.

Tech is ded. All is COST. Seriously
Not saying that there aren't elements of the market that are clearly in a bubble, but bears thought that AMZN deserved a P/E multiple 25% lower than WMT and 40% lower than COST.
Why COST? Cost has been underperforming the market this year significantly. COST year to date 0% vs S&P 500 up 16%. It's not growing that much anymore, and with a P/E 50 it's damn pricey. COST has made a lot of money for earlier investors, but it's foolish the trend will continue the same path in the next 5 years as well. COST is going through a period of cool off, and it has more downside as upside potential now.
Puts on COST. CHicken salad fn sucks now.
We are not in an AI bubble People keep saying the AI trade is overheated, but if you actually look at the numbers, most of the Mag7 are valued about the same as Walmart and Costco. | Company | Ticker | P/E (TTM) | |:---------|:--------:|----------:| | Apple | AAPL | **36.19** | | Microsoft | MSFT | **35.79** | | Alphabet (Google) | GOOGL | **27.73** | | Amazon | AMZN | **34.49** | | Nvidia | NVDA | **59.73** | | Meta Platforms | META | **23.11** | | Tesla | TSLA | **314.87** | | Walmart | WMT | **39.99** | | Costco | COST | **50.66** | If you take out Tesla, which is a huge outlier, the Mag7 average is around 36.8. That’s right in line with Walmart and actually lower than Costco. Nvidia is higher because AI hardware demand is still exploding, but Meta and Google are cheaper than most big retail names. To me, that’s not a bubble. That’s the market adjusting to where real growth is happening.
BRK/B is like the bond portion of a portfolio. No reason not to own it, I sleep well at night with BRK/B, COST, NVDA, and the rest of the mega caps.
Selling is something you do to rebalance a portfolio of wonderful companies, not something you do because the current price is not discounted anymore. I'd hold COST until my estate closes after my death. But there's no chance in the universe I'm going to buy it at 50x. That's a higher multiple than AAPL. Their EPS have been declining for 5 years. The question is whether you think Palantir is a wonderful company. I can't imagine "investing" in something where secrecy and corruption is effectively baked into the business model.
Mine are COST HIMS HOOD PLTR AMD
Just ate a microwaved bag of edamame from costco. Healthy, cheap, and delicious. Edamame is just a young soybean, harvested before it is fully ripe. I look on the bag? Product of China. Soybean farmers are actual soyboys. Just pick your shit early and sell a product that someone actually wants instead of your dried out shitbeans. Calls on COST, +1 Social credit for GYNA, Puts on soybean farmers. SPY 686
Every time. Same shit happened with NVDA and will happen with COST as well when the time comes. Makes no sense.
The only thing green on my watchlist is COST lmfao. wtf is happening
Market loading up on defensive stocks. All of them are up like COST and WMT in the sea of red
I want to buy a COST call for earnings on 12/11, but the spreads as insane. Costco has not dipped below 900 in basically a year with estimates at like $100 more/share than the current valuation.
Rebalance my portfolio by trimming A.I. companies/semiconductor companies and rollover into defensive companies like $COST. The market is putting all the eggs into A.I. companies and market sentiment is flipping from extreme fear to fear and soon to greed. Everybody is a genius during a bull run....have to be cautious and try to hedge against the downturn.
COST has been flat for months. Flatter than Travis Kelce’s fiancé
NVDA with a 57 p/e isn't cheap but it's not that absurd. I've owned it for years and wouldn't be buying more at this point but that goes for a lot of things lately. TSLA and some other odds/ends (BE up another 20% this morning post earnings, was already +500% over the last 6 mo) seem more absurd. In quality, there's absurdity too - WMT trading at about a 40 p/e seems excessive and unsustainable. Something like CTAS trading at a 42p/e given unfortunate concerns about automation in the future also seems a tad off. COST has always been an example of a stock that's expensively valued, but is it appealing at about the valuation it was in 1999?
It's been 3 months. COST was a good buy if you can look back in time.
OK, fair enough. I don’t mean to argue, I recognize you‘re better read in this stuff than me. I’m not a particularly bright person. But I have been doing a specific thing in the market for the last 30 or so years, and it has worked well for me. I started with around $100,000 back in the 90s and it is now over $34 million. I know that this ludicrous wealth didn’t land in my lap because I’m brilliant. And while I know I’ve had some luck in the companies I chose to buy, I feel like the choice to never sell companies like AAPL, LLY, COST, REGN, LRCX, MU, BDX, ORCL and others once I owned them was ultimately more important to the growth of my investments than the choice to buy. I feel like I have been doing something simple and specific—buying and holding fundamentally sound companies—and it has consistently worked. And I can’t help but think it would work for others, no matter what the studies say.
you have alot of overlap, but since youre already invested, id just leave it as-is. no need to pay taxes just to rebalance. i would sell COST as thats a dividend play and going forward go all in on FXAIX due to low fees.
NU, ISRG, both of these I actually heard about on motley fool, some of their tips are actually good Some others COST, RDDT, CEG, and BROS
How we feeling about COST seems like a no brainer around 900

\-1.43% over Nasdaq index today. Worst day in past 3 months. Naked shorted IBM as a hedge, resulting in $2,000 loss overnight. NFLX and COST dropped today instead. Didn't adjust my XSP puts, QQQ calls and QQQ puts yesterday, resulting in over-shorted position.
Why isn’t anything pumping I got rekt with AMZN, META, and COST
Can I ask why FBTC or FETH for 5-10 years is better than COST?
GIS is what I just bought. Good earnings, suffering from the SNAP drama. CG a contender. I think COST is also down because of snap
Reason why BYND is exploding soon. Short positions have to buy back against their short buying 3.5 $ which is huge amount. That is why they need to pay back a lot for buying BYND. Buy around 4$ BYND and keep holding until next week. IF WE ENDURE ONLY BUYING AND HOLDING UNTIL END OF FRIDAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH COST IS, Then We will meet BYND at 20$ very next weekend. Short Squeezes will make panic buying. Til wait. Thanks in avdvane rich guys at near future.

I've had COST for 30 years and have made a ton, but Im down on them now.
on COST, it’s at a 50 p/e and approaching US market saturation in larger metros. crazy high expectations for growth with no obvious routes like it had up to now.
I think WMT and COST will underperform cash for the next few years. Very much priced to perfection. No opinion on HD.
Earnings plays are usually lotteries. Companies can have great earnings reports and the guidance or market vibes make the price go down (ie. COST). The opposite can be true and the company can miss and fundamentals look down trending but the stock shoots to the moon for whatever reason due to guidance or market sentiment (ie. NKE).
>The argument is their profit was down because they are investing heavily in humanoid robots. If you are going to be an individual stock company investor as opposed to just buying index funds you might want to learn how to read an income statment. Tesla GROSS PROFITS that is REVENUE - COST OF GOODS was down in Q3 vs prior year. That is why income (net profit) was down. Their gross profit was down because revenue was down AND the gross margin was also down. Operating expenses did not materially change YoY. Of course all this assumes Tesla will actually deliver a robot and it will meet the musk hype and it will be on time and it will be cost effective for consumers. Simply having a functional robot is not necessarily lower cost than a human especially low paid human labor (i.e. picking apples). A general humanoid robot is not necessarily more economical than a specialized machine for picking apples. Tesla began as a car company and then was an energy company and then was an automation company, and then an robotics company and then an AI company. Realistically it has only delivered on the first one in any material way. What is to say Tesla robots will be any different than robo taxis, the tesla semi, fsd (coast to coast hands free demo coming by end of year 2018)?
I’m a buyer. Earnings in 2 weeks and they just signed deals with America’s two biggest retailers #WMT #COST #BYND
So are GOOG, COST, and META. What's your point?
The question should be why is Netflix still worth 500b after the haircut. Just ten years ago, AAPL was worth 400b, Airbus was 50b, COST was 150b, MSFT was 400b, BAC was 100b. Today's valuations are insane and detached from reality. Palantir has bigger market cap than companies like Costco, AbbVie, HomeDepot, AMD, United Health, Chevron, China Construction Bank, Nestle, Toyota and Coca Cola. Insane.
I’m good at finding things hidden, solving puzzles, and detangling what has been tangled. For time and price type of stuff I’m of very little use. Doubtful the G’s stay at their current position and that order was very likely them. It was hopping exchange to exchange at the end of the day. The more they grab, the more the spring is tensioned. It’s already well over 100%, and being that is with only 25 Million ish in collateral this may not be some mega hedge fund with supreme backing. If it’s not they can easily get margin’d and liquidated. Liquidation of even 20% would be huge and likely cascade. What I can say is for my (partial) exit steps, I didn’t lie months ago when I set my course. 100 ish will be whenever. I do like day trading quite a bit and lately I’m really getting the urge to hit up a direct access broker. I hate splitting my accounts like that as I travel for work so it may just sit idle for weeks but it’s such a difference after trying it out. So first 100 will likely be when I find another super obvious play where I can hit calls. Last time I found this was Etsy for cheap OTM calls, and NVO/COST at the same time, but Etsy was more clear. I bought calls with all spare liquid and 20 min later it flew. What I saw was hedge funds almost fully cleared out of short positions the prior day. Retail still held a lot. This is from collateral reports. The hedges will almost always squeeze the retail shorters as they get liquidated easy with just a small bump in price and some volatility from decreased margin-ability. There were also a lot of puts active with a max pain of 70 for the next weekly expiration. The closer to max pain the stock finishes the week at, the more options sellers make. The last thing was oddly calm charts. Calm charts decrease the price of options from decreased volatility. It felt off. The hedges buy cheap call weeklies, then shares, and bam. While I made a buttload, because I was so spread on strikes and expirations I couldn’t close all in time before the hedges stepped back into shorting hard due to spread liquidity in accounts and PDT. Next time I won’t make that mistake or I’ll just violate the account and open a new one. Left about 7500 on the table total. Next time I will not rely purely on liquid. Next 100 will be when OCC collateral shows a short interest below 100%. Probably 1/3 of current SI (not by Finra). For the next 24ish, if needed, whatever makes the other 300 free. With the 200 already gone, might not be needed, but mentally it’s easier for me to ride things out when free. The last 300+ are for long term cap gains. I do think Newegg is a serious long term play. On the speculation side, I don’t think there’s an AI bubble, I think there’s a subscription bubble. I see non-diversified companies based on subscription income like Netflix, Adobe, ADT, Peloton, Amazon, as well as subscription based AI companies taking a huge hit. Others will too and I’m sure I’m missing some, but to train AI you need the mega data centers. To run it, I see a massive decentralization and local hardware and software making a comeback. Apples biggest selling point is privacy already, the market wants this. I’m already pricing a small server out because of how much it would save me monthly between security system, cloud storage, VPN for when I travel for work, mini media repository, virtual machines allowing me to replace game consoles with PC and not get booted for watching the same app as my wife in a different location, local email and website hosting, LLM if I want it, etc. I see it like the late 90’s where everyone was shopping for a new Compaq or Gateway desktop. But this time it’s going to be mini servers/AI for your home or business that can be bought off the shelf, or custom for your needs. No one knew what they were buying. But everyone bought one. Brick and mortar has been a race to the bottom labor wise and majority of the time I go to Best Buy I already understand what I’m buying better than the person offering help. Microcenter is an exception. With computers and server parts, being I have zero faith in Amazon or Best Buy stepping up, I think Newegg and Microcenter will be the best candidates to absolutely blow up. Microcenter is a private company. Other potential Newegg options if I’m wrong on above… -GameStop wants to spend some of that 10 Billion cash and immediately become the premier PC and server dealer both online and by retail locations. -Galkins continue buying until eventual merger with Laptop Plaza. -Microcenter merger. Monopoly on quality PC parts. https://preview.redd.it/k6r72fhnfjwf1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cde488a2d8356f0fb2a7efb8d13232d5ac6cd063
If that makes $COST get a vanity boner and rise, then yes, be like Whole Foods Costco.
The same six core stocks I've always bought. AXP, COST, MSFT, DE, AAPL and ORI. Sure I dabble in other stuff (thank you ASTS!) and I'll take small fliers on interesting stories (right now GT, KDP, QXO) but I buy my core six on moderate dips and carry on.
