Recession-proof & Reliable

2009-07-08T04:22:05Z

If ever there were recession-proof stocks, COST & WMT would be amongst
my top 5 that come to mind.

Costco Wholesale is the 5th largest retailer in the U.S. and 8th
largest in the world boasting over $87 billion in sales. They are well
diversified with over 100 warehouses in Canada, Mexico, Japan, South

When will COST improve?

2009-06-17T13:24:53Z

Anyone 'know' when COST is going back up?

I just don't get it? The Costco in Alhambra, Ca is one of the highest
grossing store of all Costco, l was in that store all of last week to
scope their business and the store was like a haunted mansion as
compared to the past of the go go times! Thats why I don't know why
this stock is going up as it is now! It leave me no choice but if

Costco is the wosrt place to be!

2009-05-29T02:21:46Z

Follow all the biggest investors & not the small individual like me!
Those big investors are moving away from WMT & COST because they can
find better deals out there in finance, gold, & oil (short term). I
heard about JnJ & WFC.

Avoid reading SmartMoney.com

2009-05-16T03:11:07Z

SmartMoney.com, the worst website should shoppers avoid to stay away
from it, especially its recent article about "Warehouse Club Face-
Off: The Overall Savings". When one compares products and cost, one
should compare one's home town to get the right price! Don't compare
Chicago and Albuquerque!

I give credit to Cramer for going on the Stewart show even though he
knew he would be grilled. What made it worse was Santellis refusal to
be interviewed after his comment on CNBC which he placed the blame on
only the average American for the current meltdown. Cramer is not

2009-03-11T17:02:13Z

Costco needs to learn how to advertise. "Big box" items such as LCDs
and plasmas are not selling like they used to, granted they will get
some movement now that Circuit City has closed, but I think Besy Buy
will pick up more of this business. Costco has tried this "go green"
movement by mailing out less coupon books since most stores have come

been going through a remodel. We are doing what everyone should be

confidence and faith, esp. the big stock holders. The people who

Government Actions On Chinese Currency Manipulation and COST

2009-01-26T19:32:40Z

Geithner and Obama have it right on Chinese currency manipulation.
Protectionism always shows when an economy is in a weakened state. It
will be interesting to see what steps the US takes with new reins
against the currency fixing. Action is needed to prevent future
problems, but we must act carefully to avoid another short term

They Don't Understand the Economy

Just went to Costco's website looking for some bulk nuts, but found
instead Caviar, Foie Gras, Truffles and expensive wines. They are way
off the mark. Here is a chance for Costco to take a large section of
the market by offering 25# bags of sunflower seeds, powdered milk, rye
flower, etc, so that families could save a large amount to money by

Re: Costco is Overvalued. I think it is worth ~$30 a share

2008-12-28T23:09:13Z

I just got back from my local Costco and am astonished that they have
raised prices significantly (10-20%) on many items that I normally
would have purchased. Most of these were food items but I did notice
bedding and tools were higher as well. My purchase was less then half
of what it normally would have been and I went to Superstore to buy

GOING UP?

Costo repercussions from AMEX move?

2008-11-21T21:44:24Z

As you may have read AMEX instituted a lot of temporary credit limits
reductions on their cardmembers and AMEX is the only credit card
Costco takes. It looks like they've got a cash shortage because I
got one of the letters and called them and they insist thel ower
limits are "temporary" but they REALLY lowered them. People with 770

a few thoughts from a Costco employee

2008-11-18T17:42:20Z

I fully understand that an economy like the one we're in adversely
effects every company, regardless of how they function individually.
But here's a few reasons why Costco is still a long play, and
considerably a great buy right now. (This is information that was
provided to some of our sales associates at a recent seminar in

Costco is holding up well today

2008-10-24T15:47:36Z

Guess this mornings futures panic wasn't all that it was cracked up to
be, it may be early but I think we hit todays low already. We are in
the costco chat room at [link] talking this over.

COST a good sideways move?

2008-10-10T19:27:01Z

I bought more COST today at around $52 because I think it's unlikely
to fall too much further. *fingers crossed*. I took losses on a bunch
of weaker positions and moved sideways into several standbys like this
one, which look undervalued.

Anyone else have thougths? What else can you really do in a panic?

Retail sales surprise

Jumpstarted by an infusion of nearly $50 billion in stimulus checks
from Uncle Sam, retail sales rose a surprising 1% in May, the fastest
increase in six months, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The
gain was above the 0.6% expected by economists surveyed by
MarketWatch. Excluding autos, sales rose 1.1% compared to an expected

2008-05-29T15:57:23Z

The volatility in today's retail stock is causing a bit of panic, so
it's nothing to panic about. As a day trader once, I can tell you
guys, volatility in sector data causes a lot of scare for those stocks
which are in focus. So buy more on the dip today, this is no different
from GME dipping after exploding on earnings.

true to its word on how it treats it employees and its prospects for
growth however I am very concerned about the current price of the

$72 is NOT cheap price for COST

2008-05-02T17:46:25Z

Just wanted to have this message to those retail/individual investors
that COSTCO @ $72 is closer to maximum price and don't get burned
hoping it is good investment at this price level.

Anyone buying at these price levels as long term investment?
