COST: Bull or Bear?
Costco is on-track for market share gains

50 days
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...

(MET)  No doubt, this week has made it more and more difficult to say anyone should buy stocks at the moment. Even in good, solid, dividend-paying companies. Many analysts and pundits have recommended investors to sell and stay away from the stock market for a while as they don't see a bottom yet, only mo...

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 ...

Costco (COST) Should Continue to Climb
COST
+8.98%
in

...I finally stepped foot into a Costco store this week. I was impressed with how friendly the staff was and how well the store was laid out. Below are some brief observations.
All merchandise is sold in bulk. Customers spend a significant amount of money each time they visit the store. Costco has high inventory turnover. Therefore, Costco is able to collect revenue from the sale of inventory before they have to pay suppliers.
Only American Express, cash, or checks are accepted as tender. Costco has bypassed the high credit card fees charged by Visa and Mastercard (MA).
Merchandise is plac...
