Filed under: Costco Wholesale (COST), Stocks to Buy  Retail is heating up. A look at the hottest retail ETFs shows that the sector is dramatically outperforming the market so far in 2010 -- up to four times over! That means if you were holding some of the elite retail components in these funds, you would be doing even better.
Take online retailer Overstock.com (OSTK), up over 65% since January 1 to today's opening bell! Any investor who has blacklisted the entire retail sector is missing out on big moneymakers like this company. <><>Continue reading <>A Retail Revival: Three Discounters to Buy (OSTK,...

Three Reasons to Buy Costco

Filed under: Costco Wholesale (COST), Stocks to Buy  Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) was a darling of investors during the economic downturn as the warehouse discounter offered cash-strapped consumers a deal and saw strong profits as a result. But with the worst of the global recession in the rear-view mirror, investors are wondering what's in store for Costco stock.
Now that economic conditions are improving, will shoppers keep ringing Costco's register? Chances are they will, if strong sales numbers recently are any indication. That means investors could still see some upside in COST shares. <>If...

Costco is on-track for market share gains

Filed under: Costco Wholesale (COST), Stocks to Buy  Costco's stock has trended up nicely, from $47.21 when first recommended on May 19, 2009, hence it's not as cheap as it was then, but a case can be made to establish/add to a position on a pull-back to $53-55. Therefore, I'm reiterating my Buy rating.
<>Costco (NASDAQ: COST) remains a value-oriented consumer warehouse with an appropriate middle-income, near-upscale product mix that's likely to draw in many "suddenly just middle class" consumers whose incomes have been constrained/lowered by the current economic era. Translation: market share g...

Even in hard times people don't stop buying. They may re-evaluate how they spend and they may look for alternate ways to conserve but they don't stop shopping. Most consumers instead come to the conclusion that they need to shop smarter and the warehouse outlets like Costco offer an opportunity for most folks to feel like they are shopping smarter. Couple this with falling gas prices and we get a little breathing room, which usually stimulates a favorable perception, which then leads to more buying.

<> I am recommending the sell of the retailing sector. Why? The reason is simple, no one is buying anything right now. When was the last time you heard of a friend, neighbor, or colleague bought a new car? I tell you that it is obvious all over America (if not the world) put discretionary spending on perma hold a couple of weeks ago. You can rest assured that there isn't a retailer in America (even Walmart) that will have a great quarter. <> Ever since Bush went on prime time consequences..... the retail market has come to a screeching halt that is only slightly less frozen than the cr...

For the morbidly obese (BMI > 40), liposuction is not really an option. But for a much broader set of women – those with fat deposits in ‘problem areas’ that respond poorly to diet and exercise – liposuction is a perfect fit. And if you’re going the lipo route, one of the best options out there is Smartlipo MPX by Cynosure (CYNO). Cynosure, a developer of a broad array of laser-based aesthetic systems, received a CE Mark for Smartlipo this week.

<>Is Oil Spoiled? Baker Hughes (BHI), Transocean (RIG)
<>Oil fell nearly 4% last week to $127. The group wondered if oil’s rally is finally over and if the commodity could drop to $120 in the coming week. Guy Adami thinks next week will be the biggest week for commodities in years and expects a significant drop in crude and gold. However, he doesn’t think stocks will necessarily rise on oil’s fall. Macke doesn’t believe oil will necessarily go lower, but action in the commodity will be significant. He adds he is a seller of the S&P with a ...
