  • debeers: $AMZN/$ANF/$ARDX-forever grateful to Woodie for this one/$BECN/$CLF/$COST-shut up! you'll be getting a 15 buck special divvie and their parfking lot oozed into 3 other buildings/ $CRM/$NOW-@DAN forst spotted this one---nice get/ $PANW.
  • camaro69: $COST ATH
  • debeers: $BA- up in the air Junior Birdmen! $PANW-tell me one day where there isn't a security breach somewhere and this is the best IMO $NOW- when @DAN first mentioned this one i asked WHEN? NOW! $COST- not only is the stock up but you are also getting a special extra dividend payment of 15 bucks!
  • Margi1983: @debeers $BA $PANW $NOW $COST Love $PANW. I looked at $NOW and the fundies are good, but it was rejected at the 3 yr weekly high of about 720 2 days ago. I will wait until it is closer to the 50 ma to go long. Entry is everything
  • joelsg1: @debeers $BA $PANW $NOW $COST In $PANW and large $CRWD, will exercise $160 and $170 calls on latter today. Miz raises $CRWD to $275 and $PANW to $325..
  • woodman: @debeers $BA $PANW $NOW $COST - Nice job with these! BA working well. I know you've gone to the dance with that one many times.
  • Henry: #GOLD According to the NY Post $COST sold 100 mil dollars of those gold bars.
  • debeers: $COST- notes
    Rating Agencies' estimates on $COST:
    Ray J and Bernstien to 670
    Truist to 693
    & my fave: 725 from UBS
    Remember- these were the estimates with the 15 buck a share special divvie.
    Be sure to doublecheck the dates by which you have t ...
  • DavidK: @debeers $COST if you like $COST at a pe of 45 and growing 9% then $WMT at a PE of 25 and growing 10% seems like a better play . Sam’s clubs have prime beef and all the other stuff $COST has only somewhat better in my opinion.
  • Henry: @DavidK $COST $WMT two years ago Carter Braxton Worth declared COST overvalued and recommended swapping into WMT. Sadly I did and missed the last 200 bucks on COST 😠
  • DavidK: @Henry $COST $WMT I bought Jan 155 Wal mart calls . Not working yet . Might have to go further out in the year . I am not chasing Costco here.
  • debeers: $WMT vs $COST for @DavidK and always brilliant @Henry Dave thanks for your OPINIONS; however here are the facts: COSTCO WALMART yr to date 44.20% 7.29% what about 3 years? 79.99% 4.23% what about 5years? 219.43% 65.61 These are the stats----take from them what you will. Hope this helps.
  • DavidK: @debeers $WMT $COST understand that cost has been the better play by miles . Going forward , maybe not .
  • debeers: @DavidK $COST $WMT -Nor should you. But stats don't lie.
  • debeers: @Margi1983 $BA $PANW $NOW $COST -and your entries are terrif!
  • debeers: @joelsg1 $BA $PANW $NOW $COST $CRWD i remember that you and i were on shaky ground with Boeing and fingers crossed that is behind us!
  • RedLeaf1: @debeers $COST StreetInsider.com reports: "Costco (NASDAQ: COST) declared a special dividend of $15 per share. The dividend will be payable on January 12, 2024, to stockholders of record on December 28, 2023, with an ex-dividend date of December 27, 2023. The annual yield on the dividend is 2.4 percent"
  • joelsg1: $COST Beats, in/line guide but declares special $15 divi to shareholders as of 12/28. Implied move was much higher than ah, and special divi expected.
  • debeers: @joelsg1 $COST -Lets see where it is 12/26.......
  • joelsg1: @debeers $COST Or better 1/3 after Santa leaves.
  • woodman: $COST - this one slipped by me. Extended now, but has been good.
  • shoredriver: @woodman $COST ...earnings Thurs after......
  • woodman: @shoredriver $COST - Thanks.
  • shoredriver: $COST...New 52wk high...reports Thurs after....
  • champ: $COST and $BJ....are both on Hold.
  • phgruver: @Wolf $GPS $ROST $M Given how $COST and WMT responded to earnings, it is tempting....
  • joelsg1: @joelsg1 $CELH Also, report from Wedbush today that Nielson retail channel sales growth for 4 weeks ending 11/4 slowed to 136% from 171% prior month. Does not include "club" channels like $COST and $AMZN where they're blowing up.
  • SusanW: @joelsg1 $CELH $COST $AMZN Doesn't seem like thorough reporting to leave out such big retailers. Thank you for sharing your research. I appreciate it. I still have a large LT position in this so a huge drop hurts. I have seen nothing but good reviews, so expecting stock to recover.
  • joelsg1: @SusanW $CELH $COST $AMZN It's just Neilson methodology to survey varying channels of retail. COST and AMZN probably won't share their sales data. Point only that blip in Neilson data probably not accurately reflecting ramping total sales growth, of which that club channel is a modest part.
  • woodman: @joelsg1 $CELH $COST $AMZN - My wife buys it at BJs Club. (I can't stand the stuff, but she really likes it.)
  • joelsg1: @woodman $CELH $COST $AMZN Remember the Creamsicle, try their Orangsicle. Some like the Vibes are too sweet, but wow lots of flavors and soon more caffeine choices. Might be a coffee alternative for the younger set. (Of course, I've been burned before when my high conviction on a company is confronted by a falling stock price...)
  • woodman: @joelsg1 $CELH $COST $AMZN - I'll ask my wife what flavors are available at BJs and see if any may be of interest to me to try.
  • scottrades: My notes: $SPY/$QQQ CLOSE THE DOOR! $UUP Back from the dead $TNX Above the 50 $TLT Watch for a higher low $IGV Watch for a PB to the 50 $SMH Backtest time? $GBTC Still in trend $ETHE ETH ETFs Coming $ANET Holding the 8EMA $CRWD Watch the 8EMA $DKNG Watch for an entry $LLY Above the 21 EMA $CCJ Good volume $WFRD At the 50 Day $MSTR looking tired $UBER Microbase $MAR just under the 50 Day $COST Watch for support here.
  • Auto: $AMZN $META $CCJ $DELL $COST added small long daily
  • traderbren: $WMT - trading better than $COST. NP
  • phgruver: @traderbren $WMT $COST $RTH $XRT are in a definite down trend. $WMT seems to be bucking that trend. I'd be very cautious....
  • Auto: $COST added long weekly
  • scottrades: $COST: Craig Jelinek to step down as CEO
  • Auto: $COST added long weekly
  • scottrades: $COST testing upper resistance.
  • scottrades: @Patrylak $TQQQ Great question. On $COST while I can't predict that it won't have volatility, so it then depends on how often you want to manage it.

    For a longer term hold, as in..."I want to hold it for the end of the year and see how that go ...
  • scottrades: My notes: $SPY Just under the 50 Day $QQQ Just under resistance $UUP Going sideways $TNX Back above the 8EMA $GLD Above the 100 EMA $GDX Under the 100 EMA $GBTC Holding the gap. Larry Fink is unphased. $SMH Close to resistance $HACK Watch 53.70 $TLT Chopping near the lows $TSLA Holding the 50-Day $GOOGL Still in trend $NVDA Holding the 50 Day $META Fine. $AMD Worth watching $COIN Long here. $DKNG TIGHT $RELY Watch 27 $COST Close to the BO Point $AXON Short high base $ANET Watch 199 $CRWD In trend $ZS In trend $PLTR Holding the 21 EMA $QLYS Good volume $LULU In the S&P 500
  • Auto: $COST working added long weekly
  • vitoB: @Auto $COST … really on offense today. Nice
  • Auto: @vitoB $COST two thumbs up
  • traderbren: $COST - back above the 20d and 8ema
  • Patrylak: does anyone know what happened to $COST?
  • Docoof: @Patrylak $COST It has to do with fears related to what an executive at Walmart told Bloomberg about the impact of the new weight loss drugs the other day: In an interview with Bloomberg, CEO, US Operations John Furner said there is "a slight pullback in overall basket" in terms of items purchased and calories in them. On Oct. 2, Kellanova CEO Steve Cahillane said his company is llooking at challenges drugs used for weight loss could have on the business. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4018408-walmart-ozempic-weight-loss-drugs-impacting-sales A lot of stocks related to snacking, have been getting crushed: $PEP, $KO, $MDLZ. $WMT also
  • Henry: $COST #Gold_bars How much mark up can there be in gold? The Costco price wasn't any different than some of the online gold dealers.
  • traderbren: $COST - finally popped the top.. Long calls.
  • Docoof: @DAN $COST (NTIM - Not that it matters. 😁) This week $COST pushed into the $QQQ’s top 10 holdings. At number 10.
  • DAN: @Docoof $COST $QQQ Hey Docoof. Didn't know that. It's pulling back right now. I'd sure like to see it hold 570. Seems like it will.
  • DAN: Active Trade Update Adding Costco ($COST) to the Active Trade Idea List. Basis: 575.00 Stop: 559.50 I noticed that this got a write-up on IBD this morning. Consequently, some of this buying is likely to be from that article. But the stock has broken above 570, and a trade is a trade. --Dan For a complete list of all Active Trades, click here: https://stockmarketmentor.com/active-trades-list/
  • DAN: Active Trade Update -- Removing $LPG $ALSN $WFRD $COST

    $LPG -- Stopped out at 27.90. The stock is still above the 50-day moving average, but this 4.4% decline is a bad sign. Also, yesterday’s volume was nearly 2 million shares. While the st ...
  • oldtimer: @DAN $COST $QQQ $COST - I missed the original add but it is now at $567 . . would you still suggest entering this trade
  • oldtimer: @oldtimer $COST $QQQ never mind . . just saw your recent post
  • BarryC: I tried $COST against LOD
  • bigreek42: took off some $cost
  • scottrades: $COST trying to follow through
  • bigreek42: $Cost looking pretty strong early
  • traderbren: $COST - a beauty bullish engulfing print on $COST after jamming the downside this morning.
  • bigreek42: buying some $Cost, small for now with stop at LOD
  • scottrades: @bigreek42 $Cost Nice rebound. I think Cramer was talking about it on Twitter last night.
  • bigreek42: @scottrades $Cost wish I acted earlier tho today's low seems a solid risk level.
  • jonwest88: $COST price was holding above 544 -545 a.h. until " Increasing the price of Costco memberships is "a question of when, not if," according to CFO Richard Galanti, but the company cannot share whether a price hike is in next year's plans. Galanti says on a call with analysts that the company feels good about member loyalty and growth. "We can't really tell you if it's in our plans or not," Galanti says. The company last raised the price of its membership in 2017. " Stock went down a quick 4 after this tidbit came out. Trader's want price increases on a membership that right now has 93% renewal rates. poo poo on them, going forward Costco is one of THE places where consumers can deal with inflationary trends.
  • traderbren: #Consumer - just took a look at $TGT, $DG $DLTR, $M, $MCD -- yikes! Says a lot about the consumer -- versus $TJX, $WMT, $COST
  • Hawaiianmaxx: $COST earnings run???
  • DougL: $COST buyers showed up today
  • curtis: $COST adding very very small.
  • Angdionk: $COST starting to squeeze near 21dma
  • Aragorn: $COST since the inside day break at 530.76 COST has added 25 dollars on a relatively easy hold as it has been mostly making higher highs along the way.
  • Aragorn: $COST - no position - Inside day and up - 530.76 was the trigger - it is now 538.07 . Inside 30 and up the trigger was 537.21. It is also inside 60 and up. These are signals to add for daytrading or a way in. It has been a straight run up since tri ...
  • debeers: $GM-Bank of America goes to 72 from 70. Stock closed under 40 yesterday it is their fave auto stock. LONG $COST-Too bad Cramer cannot boost sales for them. Sales fell.No position
  • debeers: @debeers $GM $COST -see Scotty's note on GM.
  • BarryC: Here are some things Im watching: $APP, $AVDL, $BILL, $COST, $CVNA, $FLNC, $IONQ, $LI, $LOGI, $MBLY, $QSR, $RCL, $SOUN, $UPST & $Z
  • vitoB: @BarryC $APP $AVDL $BILL $COST $CVNA $FLNC $IONQ $LI $LOGI $MBLY $QSR $RCL $SOUN $UPST $Z ... like that $CVNA made it to the list...horrible balance sheet and not a great business model, but the sharks smell blood and i see 68% of the float short. similar to $W getting some positive traction premarket. $CAR another...squeeze day? i like the $Z chart as well
  • camaro69: @DAN $COST would like your thoughts. Near the $510 price you mentioned a couple weeks back
  • Angdionk: $COST n8ce move after earnings missed this. Still consolidating on weekly though
  • shoredriver: $RL....up 6% on beat ..np... $RH $COST tonight....
  • bigreek42: $cost earnings today
  • Henry: $COST must had just said something good. They were down $16 immediately after they reported a miss
  • joelsg1: $COST Crossed above 200d yesterday, all avgs tight and the weekly cries out for eventual resolution. Opened small stock pos. Membership fee hike coming, straight to bottom line, and maybe also a special divi, last one $10 per share paid 11/20, on top of $1.02 quarterly just raised. E 5/25 and ex-div 5/4 so could add after that.
  • bigreek42: starting position in $cost, light volume pb after running thru 500
  • vcondry: @bigreek42 $cost I added to a small position I already had. Would like to turn it into a very long position if the pullback doesnt go further.
  • bigreek42: @vcondry $cost same tho may add 1 more time then put stop in
  • Angdionk: $COST poking out of wedge on weekly
  • Angdionk: $COST might be trying to move out of its recent range
  • Auto: $COST rocket added long weekly
  • puttz: $COST Breaking out on above volume
  • camaro69: $COST Nice move today
  • joelsg1: $COST Watching daily moving avgs converge as stock tightens. Expecting catalyst from membership fee hike, and after last year's market probably not much extra cash needed for taxes. Np, yet.
  • shoredriver: $COST....down 3% after reporting limp March numbers.....
  • camaro69: $COST HOD
  • Auto: $SQ $NEE $EBAY $GOOGL $COST long
  • puttz: $COST Reversing on big vol
  • camaro69: $COST HOD after earnings
  • joelsg1: @vcondry $SHOP Still small shares, but running out of time with options and not rolling given $LULU and $COST guidance.
  • vcondry: @champ $AMZN $COST reports after the bell. will move amazon with it up or down im sure.
  • champ: @vcondry $AMZN ..........Yes sir....and I'm watching these $COST $LULU....and $MTN.
  • Docoof: @champ $AMZN $COST $LULU $MTN Good work today, champ. I have to say, I’m quite glad that you’re a team player, because you play a big part in setting the mood or temperament in the Forum that I believe influences how people act/post. So, just a little thank you for that.
