COST

Private Starlink is a formable established competitor with AT COST space launch system utilizing Falcon 9 rockets and eventually StarShips.

Cash account, adding funds on a monthly basis, as a hobby with a long runway until retirement (hoping to shave off a few years with this account): NVDA: 33%  CRWD: 20% XOM: 17% RTX: 16% COST: 14% I’m considering adding another sector, but can’t figure out the next move. I’m employed by an industrials company, so I’d prefer to stay away from that arena (acknowledging that RTX is technically in industrials).

leblaun

None that I know with certainty of course, but I have been holding AMD for 5 years or so, and will continue to. Otherwise I want to add GOOG as much as possible, and some COST

Big-block427

I own 3 of those; COST, NFLX and WMT. I can’t foresee people canceling their Costco membership or Netflix subscriptions. WMT is playing in the AI space and it’s the grocer for America.

snoosh00

Just a reminder to all the Americans, it's YOU who will be paying the tariffs. It might negatively affect our economy, but the COST is on the backs of American families and businesses. I know everyone reading this knows that, but I just wanted to write that.

Orlonz

But there isn't a ton of constant point to point throughput between LA and SF. That's like going from London to Glasgow or Paris to Amsterdam. And it takes us 25% less time to cover that distance via car. The real COST and what America really means by "car centric" is what do you do with the congestion at these points? All you did was remove the congestion alone a line to mostly to the ends of the line. Those people still need to spread out ~50km from that center. In Europe, being public transit centric, people may spread-out ~5km from that bus or train station. We don't have those point to many points local public transit infrastructure, NOR do we have 2+km biking or walking infrastructure. It's not just the trains or even high-speed versions, the local infrastructure doesn't exist either. You are talking about converting billions of dollars worth of parking lots to residential and business while redesigning all the roads to be pedestrian & public transit friendly in a 25sqkm area. That is really expensive and it needs to be done at every major stop. You are talking about decades of ROI that has zero support from the current tenants to fund. Europe already has that local setup for centuries and it just made sense to shove a high flow, low footprint arterial into that spot. In the US, Airports solve this by staying outside the city area and having massive car rental options, taxi, and rail at the airport. And the airport building becomes the limiting factor in throughput, not the cars or planes.

Back after a week. I have a COST call for 27 June and 3 July, a V call for 11 July and a LULU call for Sept. I am cooked. (Already down from $4200 to 2k due to NFLX and COST calls last week!)

Honey-Holic

WMT and COST…can one of you please moon?

yoellen

Same. Was doing so good on COST. Until I wasn’t. Switched to Bear Call Spreads & got some back. Now taking a break from this stock. META & NFLX have been great spreads lately…

ssyndr4

Yeah… I did COST last week thinking it was low beta, low correlation, good IV numbers, high premiums, all of that, then got completely burned. POP was around 80%, theta was high, premiums were really good, and I still hit max loss really quick. Better to not get greedy :/

ryallen23

If you go with this list at current price ranges, you will almost certainly beat the market in the medium term based purely on strength of business fundamentals, share buybacks, and reinvested dividends. I hold all of these and keep adding. I would actually argue that every one is trading at a discount: C V MA UNH JPM BRK.B COST META NFLX AMZN GOOGL

ahhhhhh12343tyhyghh

I've been holding NVDA, AMZN, COST, GOOG over the past 7 years and have beaten the market significantly.

ryallen23

They just signed a 20 year deal to exclusively supply Meta with nuclear starting in 2027. If there was ever a great time to buy CEG, this is it. If you don't, this will be a funny comment to come look at in 5 years. P/E ratio is a terrible metric for this space right now. You gotta think about who's positioned to be super dominant. How many years have people been avoiding COST and NFLX because "The PE is a bit high"? It's extremely clear now that that was the worst possible measurement for those businesses. CEG will be the same if not even more extreme.

HawkVivid8623

Solid list, definitely tech-forward but with a good mix of infrastructure and brand power. Personally, I’d swap SoFi for something with a stronger moat like JPM or even BRK.B for long-term compounding. I’d also consider adding Costco (COST) or LVMH, consistent demand and pricing power even in [downturns.As](http://downturns.As) for price drops — tech might still slide short-term if rates stay high, but for a 10–20 year hold, that just means better entry points. Timing’s tough, but time in the market always wins. 🧠📉💼

Embarrassed-Tooth-83

War won't force me to sell. I'm more worried about seasonality rotations at end of July. Any war starting towards the end of July that involves US will likely lead to a long sell-off. My holdings: BRK.B, HOOD, COIN, IBIT, AMZN, COST, SOFI, FSDAX, PLTR

4BennyBlanco4

I don't have the foggiest about any of this but if AMZN, WMT, HD, COST etc had their own stablecoins would that not mean I need a different mechanism to shop at AMZN, WMT, HD, COST etc. whereas I could just use my Visa or Mastercard anywhere. So Visa and Mastercard remain far more convenient.

Foreign-Coconut3500

Fuckin' poor 😂 Nobody forced you to YOLO your rent money on options gambling. You posted in a public subreddit and make yourself look like a fool, which you are, and poor. And you're so angry because someone replied to you. close your lil baby RH account and shut the fuck up. You played the lotto and LOST on COST. 😝

Foreign-Coconut3500

yea, options arent safe. but COST stock is. i suggest you stop gambling and start investing.

COST really having a rough go of it, huh?

timtam_z28

Yeah I beat the market, but I have little to no confidence that I can continue to do so. Ultimately, I buy a lot of the time based on some facts and mostly feelings. I just can't expect another NVDA to come along to prop up my entire portfolio, but then came PLTR. But even the smaller wins like COST are still possible. MSFT has been decent. Couldn't tell you what to buy today.

LULU was already shit. COST and NFLX will be fine

Peter Lynch is a good mentor, and "How I Invest My Money" by Brown and Portnoy is a good reference Consider that every time rates are high you'll want to load up on corp bond funds Traders in Lake Wobegon know - "Only half the SP500 is above average" Keep your gambling to a minimum, and your learning at a maximum Suggest building positions in COST and SGOL during the next couple years A Roth IRA that's independent of your employers 401k may allow you greater flexibility in your investments God Bless

Brodiesattva

The answer is that you don't have the intelligence to invest in individual stocks. Not actual IQ, rather information. Those boards are closed to the public, the CEOs lie and obfuscate, or are truly ignorant about what happens in their company. Do I have individual equities in my portfolio? Yes. But most of what I have are in indexes: SPY, OEF, DIA, ONEQ QQQM, DAX. The top three performers for me in individual equities are: COST, AAPL, BRK.B, I also have some JPM, and a bunch of shit stocks that are play stocks. I use AAPL and COST all the time, so I know they will delight their customers and keep them for the long haul. JPM is historical, and the shit stocks, like MDRX were bets that I just can't let go of. MDRX, for 14 years they screwed up their company, for a good portion of that time they didn't know what their financials were, but continued reporting. They finally got caught and got delisted. They have been 2.5 years? since delisting and still can't provide audited guidance on their quarterlies. That is what I mean but you don't have the intelligence of what is going on in the company.

TheInkDon1

Interesting, and I was sure someone would bring this up. I 'thought' 5 years was enough of a lookback (it is for me), especially when talking about trading around an underlying *weekly or* less. Because to me it's like this: remember integration from HS or college Calculus? What's the slope of this itty-bitty part of this curve? Or maybe a better example, approximating a curve with tiny-tiny linear segments? To me, this is like that. Yeah, if I were going to plonk my money into something and not look at at for 20 years, then yeah, maybe an Index fund is better for me. (And I love your numbers about 80%/20% and 70%/30%, I'll have to look into that. Because I think they speak to this point I just made.) But why would I do that? (Why would *anyone* do that, tbh.) Can I look at my investments once every 5 years, at least? Maybe every year? Then pick the 'thing' that's going up the most/best? (I'm an unabashed momentum-follower on top of this other crazy stuff.) Do you see where I'm going? Maybe we don't need to look at the market over 50 years, or 20, or 10, or even 5. Maybe 1 year is enough to get a feel for what's going on. I'm taking that 50- or 20-year history and integrating it, dicing it up, looking at smaller and smaller time slices. And what do I see in those ever-smaller slices? How about [gold vs the S&P500 for the last 5 years?](https://imgur.com/a/FWumVaL) Wow, in 2021 "the market" was the place to be. 2022 though, not so much: GLD lost much less, percentage-wise. Interestingly, you could zoom in to 4 years, then 3 years, then 2 years, then 1 year, then 6 months, then 3 months, and find gold beating the S&P in every one of those cases. But this for me isn't about gold "winning" over the long term, it's about gold *behaving*. Behaving better than "the market," better than Apple, better than Walmart, JNJ, COST, PFE. Better than most non-index ETFs: VUG, VTV, IWF, etc. In short, better than ANYTHING I've found yet. That's why I like to trade it. But back to your point: gold "spiking down and staying down for a long period." **Does is it, though?** That's my question to you. Looking back over [110 years](https://imgur.com/a/tu27iBn) it sure seems like it does. But is that because we're "zoomed out"? What did it look like to investors in real time? It's hard to get a graph of gold over 100 years on Yahoo Finance, and GLD only goes back to about 2005, but I'm going to use that to zoom in on that "spike down" in \~2011. (Btw, I'm doing this as much for me now as to answer you, if you start wondering why I'm putting so much time into it.)

#People like to 💩 🔛 WMT😃 #But the average waist size @ COST🌭 is appalling, especially the adolescents

PALpherion

you're clearly arguing in bad faith, but we can play if you want. The tariffs have been off-again-on-again since April, and the market reaction clearly showed that it was expected to be a bluff in Feb. The 130% China Tariffs won't have been paid, they suspended shipments almost immediately in April while the "trade war" happened. These new prices won't be seen until around 4-6 weeks after confirmation because that's how long it takes for container ships to cross the pacific and get unloaded, longer for the east coast. Of course that's dodging the obvious issue that the CPI is not really a measure of inflation, it's a measure of COST OF LIVING INCREASES, and the real measure of inflation (The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)) has been steadily decreasing since January 2025. That you are unaware of this and arguing on a stock market reddit suggests to me that you're either trolling or arguing in bad faith, but I'm taking the chance you were just unaware and if not this serves as good information for other readers.

AssociationCrazy5551

Robinhood reported your trades to the IRS. It included 30k worth of sales ($500 per trade adds up fast) If you failed to report these trades, including the [COST BASIS], the IRS assumes 100% profit in every trade. You need to amend your return and use a crypto calculator against the forms robinhood provides you

At least I am in two safe stocks - WMT and COST.

Anyone buying COST dippy

Skittler_On_The_Roof

People here are complaining like their parents did about prices.  Literally somebody complaining about a $7 Big Mac value meal in the app.   Minimum wage in my area is about $15.  When I started working it was $6. Today you can get a value meal for about a half hour pretax of minimum wage work.  Back when I started work is wasn't $3, it was closer to $5.  $5 Footlongs are gone, too. WAGES AND PRICES HAVE GONE UP AND YOU'RE GETTING OLD.  MOVIES AREN'T $5 ANYMORE.  FAST FOOD IS GOING TO COST YOU $10.  WHAT'S COOL NOW SEEMS WEIRD AND SCARY TO ME, AND IT'LL HAPPEN TO YOU, TOO!

"Technical analysis isn't real," I love it. Not many of us thinking that, and fewer still saying it out loud. Want to know what worked for me? Stop thinking like a "trader" and start thinking more like a Buy-and-holder. Reading *Intrinsic: Using LEAPS to Retire Early,* by Mike Yuen changed how I "do" options 20 bucks on Amazon, it's a good read. Here's his thesis: buy deep ITM LEAPS on Tech stocks. Prosper. I modify that to: buy 80-delta LEAPS on stocks/ETFs that are doing well. Sell 30DTE 30-delta Calls against them. The PMCC. Costco is doing well. The 372DTE Call at 80-delta can be bought for about 220.50. That gives you about 4x leverage to COST. That's where the fun is. But selling Calls against that is fun too. The 30DTE 30-delta Call is selling for 10.47. ROR on that is 10.47/220.50 = 4.7% in 1 month Over 55% apy just simple-annualizing. PLUS however much the long Call appreciates over the next year. Give it a try and see what you think.

Affectionate-Day2743

sounds like something a republican would say. why then, pray tell, are TGT, COST, AMZN also down bad today? is it because their heirs are encouraging citizens to attend protests?

Because retail investors buy on vibes, not fundamentals. They like Apple products and will buy shares of AAPL regardless of valuation. Same applies to COST.

valazendez

I'd split it in 5 and put 20K each in CALM, AMZN, O, COST, CMI. I might switch the equivalent amount in my other accounts to individual stocks and put all of this into SGOV with DRIP then do a steady withdrawal.

diytrades

Sorry trader's market ..active accounts end day in cash, but every stock I own I sell calls against (once premium is near zero on expiration I close them. I see no reason to ever sell certain stocks if the cost basis is right (i.e. COST, NFLX, ...and about 90 others). Cash is a tough place to stay... but figure out a plan that works for you. GL.

I actually invested without fulling understanding everything they were doing or before I knew what they were getting into. Information was quite limited. I debate whether I should purchase more when I think it's still a good buy. I haven't yet. I do avoid companies I dislike when I can. I won't invest in Apple, Facebook, Netflix, Target, or I should say I don't invest in them on an individual basis. I wanted retail exposure so I bought COST. The rest are all tech like stocks, which I own plenty of exposure to. But we all own most of these companies if we're investing in index funds. Some are hard to avoid.

Honest and truthful answer: COST, BJ People (like you and me) are still going to need necessities while attempting to scale back and seek more value. Cheaper per unit cost = value.

thatwolfieguy

I sold all my VOO in March along with most of my tech stocks that were hemorrhaging money. Currently, my largest stakes after cash are RNMBY, ATYR, and assorted gold (physical and funds) and a mining fund. I'm still holding COST and BRK-B, along with a handful of small stakes in some possible value gambles. I'm quite happy with my decision.

P/E doesn’t tell the whole story, if you look at other valuation metrics, NVDA is still more expensive than COST

Phaoryx

For other bets I’d consider LUNR and RKLB if you like ASTS, and SOFI if you want FinTech. They’re volatile and not as proven as the others though (ASTS is also in that camp). I like UBER, COST, and NFLX as well

Country_Gravy420

COST fucked. The slide starts now.

MitchCurry

Stock price alerts are pretty standard. I can't find anything that does valuation alerts (e.g. P/E for COST <50 or P/FCF for PCOR <10, etc.).

Tybasco

COST got shat on 

traderbusto

Zoom out and you can see that 1. WMT is still up $8.90 YTD. it just sits in place a lot between earnings pumps 2. COST just had a runup post-earnings, so RSI was high and it can only pump for so long before moving back towards the 200-day MA 3. TGT is facing boycotts from white nationalist xtians because it had a strong DEI policy, and also from black xtians because it got rid of said strong DEI policy

Affectionate-Day2743

WMT and COST down, TGT up, DG up big. I understand DG had a great earnings report and increased their guidance. but make the other 3 make sense to me.

BarberTricky171

COST 

Puckdropper

On the negative, TGT. I bought during a dip when they brought out a controversial clothing line. It still hasn't come back up. On the positive, COST. I was interested when they were $450, decided to wait until they ebbed down to $430 or so, and they were $550 before I knew it. Now they're over $1k. Lesson learned: Don't buy because of price. Buy because you like the company and they seem to be on solid footing financially.

OgreSpider

By around $500. I bought and sold $2000 a lot of times on a narrow margin. On T+1 if you have $4k-$6k to devote and you're careful you can keep it circulating profitably. Currently holding on INAB, UROY, NWTN, and long on SLS. Pretty bad losses on NWTN lol, I don't currently have a lot to lose by waiting to see if it pumps again. I do not, to be clear, endorse this as your only strategy. I'm also holding non-pennies long-term and most of my stock income is from call options on conservative big stocks (QQQ, SPY, and COST currently).

BYDDY - European market has highest EV adoption rates by % of car sales and BYD is currently buying up manufacturing sold off by European OEMs who are suffering. Not sure how much Teslas brand has been tarnished there vs here but I don’t think it’ll matter. HSAI - biggest LIDAR player in Asia COST Recession resistant. Never not seen it crowded. Awesome business model. SHOP One of the best bets on I cone inequality I think one can make. If merchandise is not your core product but it’s something a company does on the side, which is tons of businesses large and small, SHOP is the go to. CAVA - large CAPEX spending over the last few years due to the Zoe’s kitchen acquisition has pushed down a lot of key metrics which you are now seeing recover rapidly (ROIC, EBITDA). I see no reason why this growth would be a one time thing as they’re still expanding. I also see a trend toward healthier options in general.

interesting question. I would like to know the answer to this. I was assigned once letting a short put expire worthless. The put was a hair below the underlying at market close but evidently the underlying dropped a point or two after hours and Monday morning I was the proud owner of a hundred shares of COST.
