- Henry: $COST has widened their selection of precious metals, the sell platinum and a variety of size of gold, 100 gm, 50 gm, 25 gm plus 1 oz bars and coins
- Henry: $COST The price of that bar on the right in August was $2,400, now 3,039
- bigbartabs: @Henry $COST ... every time I think of Costco selling gold bars... I picture customers walking out the front door with a gold bar in one hand, and a hotdog special in the other... getting their receipt checked.
- scottrades: $COST Holding the 21 EMA
- Henry: $COST Miss $4.01 vs 4.10 stock down $11
- joelsg1: @phgruver $BBY $WMT And even $COST is now putting some products like TVs and printer ink that used to be in warehouses online only, another reason to skip the store.

- Bert953: #MrMarket seems to be fairly weak this morning. Snugged up stops and $AAPL $CRWD $COST $RSI $META got taken out to protect some meager profits. $TEM was already purged Friday. Just banging thru charts, I noticed that there are quite a few well known names languishing below the 50dMA. Others are just flirting with the 50. Of course there are many well above the 50 too, but it just struck me how many were below. As I write this, I see that $DIA $SPY and $QQQ gapped and crapped. Though the $SPY is hovering just above Friday's close. Interestingly, $IWM is well above the opening print and looks strongest for today. Since I'm not feeling the love, I'm gonna walk away.... Here's some music to lighten the mood - enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmneugiD7Ig
- Mikev200: $COST RED /GREEN
- Mikev200: $WMT still have till next Thursday earnings. Or, get u some $COST
- Mikev200: $COST watching
- Bert953: @Mikev200 $COST me too. I was stopped out this morn. Obviously my stop was too tight. Shoulda been closer to the 8dMA. Still its well extended above the 50 and the current level is acting as R1 for the last 5 days. I am uncomfortable re-entering here, though all the indicators I normally view seem positive and every time I go to costco there's a million people in there and I can hardly find a park.
- Henry: #Lower_Priced_stocks I am advising a relative who has $20k to put in stocks. I was thinking of $5K in each of four Not looking for penny stocks, but it's disheartening for a newbie to have 4 shares of $COST or 7 shares of $AMZN I am open to suggestions
- phgruver: @Henry $COST $AMZN #Lower_Priced_stocks I can tell you what NOT to buy .... :-) For a small investment in the hands of an inexperienced trader, I'd recommend sticking to index funds. That eliminates single stock risk, and an investment in $SPY will never under perform the market.
- indigo1948: @Henry $COST $AMZN #Lower_Priced_stocks - index funds are probably the best. He could divide up his 20k into 4 stocks like $PLTR, $NVDA, $PFE and $GLD diverse holdings. Good luck.
- Henry: @phgruver $COST $AMZN $SPY #Lower_Priced_stocks The reason I like stocks over ETF's is that between the time we started talking about this and the time here account was opened, COST was up $100. Of course we missed that, but people can hit home runs with stocks, it's harder to do with ETF's, but I appreciate all input
- Mikev200: $WMT stopped out of most last week and this morning. Add back some now. Looking for a continued run into earnings. Held the Friday lod. Also add Feb $102. calls. $COST $BJ strong today also.
- DavidK: @Mikev200 $WMT $COST $BJ I got stopped out and also just sold my $WMT puts thinking she would sell off some after hitting 100. Took about a 12-15% loss . It’s coming down but when. Single digit grower trading aat a 35 forward PE . It doesn’t last .
- Mikev200: @DavidK $WMT $COST $BJ Yup, the key is when! Since it held the ma's and others in retail are strong, I figured I won't fight it.
- Mikev200: $WMT $COST $BJ continue
- Mikev200: $COST ATH
- Hawaiianmaxx: Who would've thought $COST punching through 1k so ez pz
- Mikev200: $COST GREEN
- DavidK: $COST spiking . Don’t get it . 10 % grower with a forward PE of 40-50 range . $WMT what a gift this am . Didn’t act . This is gonna be taken to 100 eventually .
- Bert953: $COST Popped above R1 $962 but printing shooting star on declining volume. Bye for now may reload around the 50dMA which has been a support zone but many others are working so no hurry. Earnings 3/13
- Bert953: $COST stalled below the 8dMA. out for a small gain. I had hoped that Costco would be stronger.
- Henry: $COST 9% increase in Dec sales and +$18 in ah
- Bert953: #MrMarket - just banging through stocks, the following caught my eye as they are flirting with but holding the 50dMA: $AZO $QQQ $BKNG $BLK $BURL $CASY $FLUT $ROK $MSFT $MA $MDGL $META $MKL $RCL $COST $CRM $CRWD $DE $ETHE $IGV $MSTR $ROKU $SAM $SPOT $TEAM $FDS $FDX (gap and crap after earnings but holding the 50dMA) Tickers that held up well in the carnage, still around the 8dMA $DDS $DECK $EPAM $ALAB $DOCS $GEV $ULTA $V $AXON
- Henry: $COST Strong today long
- Henry: $COST hit $1,002 and got scared
- champ: $COST will be reporting their Earnings tomorrow after the close, might be able to catch a nice a #Pre-earnings trade..??
- Mikev200: @champ $COST #Pre-earnings I still show Thursday the 12th AMC
- champ: @Mikev200 $COST #Pre-earnings ...Yes Thursday after....

StockMarketMentor: ...
We have the CPI and PPI and several other "red star" economic announcements on the calendar, but fortunately, a quiet period for the Fed Heads this week. A few lingering earnings reports for $ORCL, $AVGO, $ADBE, and $COST remain. I have li ... - DrScience: $COST Take off another Call Fly at 9.00. BUY +1 BUTTERFLY COST 100 (Weeklys) 6 DEC 24 980/1000/1020 CALL @9.00 LMT (cost basis 3.85)

- DrScience: $COST Bidding to take another Call Fly off above cost basis. SELL -1 BUTTERFLY COST 100 (Weeklys) 6 DEC 24 980/1000/1020 CALL @5.50 LMT

- DAN: I'm tempted to put $COST on the ATI list because it's breaking out of a pennant along the 8-day EMA...and continuing a breakout from early November at around $900ish. But it's too far above the 50-day moving average for me to make this trade. I just question how much upside FROM HERE there is. Might work for aggressive traders though.
- DrScience: @DAN $COST For your aggressive traders, put a long in front of two shorts and cap margin in Call butterfly structures. Earnings next Thursday.. BOT +1 BUTTERFLY COST 100 (Weeklys) 6 DEC 24 980/1000/1020 CALL @4.85 BOT +1 BUTTERFLY COST 100 (Weeklys) 6 DEC 24 1025/1030/1060 CALL @-.30 (buy for a credit) If the stock pulls back, I'll adjust to recoup some debit.
- Bert953: @DAN $COST yes, thanks for pointing out 50dMA. I was in the move from early Nov, but didnt get back in on the rebound above the 8dMA on 11/18. Though there was a week of consolidation from 11/22-12/2 I didnt like the entry being so late. Missed opportunity. Still $COST should do well going into Christmas. They are always crowded here in NY. In fact, they have new tech scanning members faces so an employee can verify the card's photo to the member at the entrance to catch non-members from sneaking in. They are serious about getting their member fees. Big Bro is certainly watching.... Holy 1984 Batman!
- Mikev200: @DAN $COST Earnings next week 12/12
- camaro69: $COST at resistance
- Henry: $COST heading for a break out
- Cjauger: $COST breaking out
- Cjauger: Retailers, I have $WMT, $AMZN, and $COST (via a put spread that expires next week). Sold $WMT at the open, they get a lot of their goods from China. I bought a cold plunge system from $AMZN. Arrived yesterday, on the box it said: Made in China. I relunctlantly sold it this morning
- marklesparkle: @Cjauger $WMT $AMZN $COST 90% of the stuff Amazon sells is from China
- champ: @bigbartabs $AMZN ....Their Free-Cash flow was huge, up $47.7b, however they have tech earnings also....and if that trend is true for Discounters, then $WMT, $COST $BJ $GO $OLLI and many others would be worth taking a look at also.
- Mikev200: @SusanW $WMT $TGT I just been sticking with the one. I been watching $COST and thinking the same. Just keep the boss! :)
- bigreek42: $cost bounce off lows
- Cjauger: $COST above $900
- sierramp: @kenb $COST That sounds interesting but where does one go to sell platinum bars?
- Cjauger: $COST nice bounce of the 50 day
- kenb: $COST Costco is now selling Swiss-made 1 oz. platinum bars featuring the Roman goddess of prosperity, for $1,089.99.
- Cjauger: $COST bouncing at the 50 day.
- Henry: $COST $WMT yesterday a busy COST was ,mentioned. I was in a model railroad forum and someone was saying their SE Costco was packed. Then I overheard my wife talking with her sister about how they should stock up because of the Dock Strike. These stores may get an unexpected boost from the strike. long COST
- bigbartabs: @Henry $COST ... $TPI (the Toilet Paper Index) ... could once again become the leading indicator of the economy. It was the first thing my wife pointed out yesterday.
- phgruver: @bigbartabs $COST $TPI Ever since 2020, we've made sure we are stocked ahead on TP. At that time, Canton, NC was a major producer of TP. Since then, though, the paper mills have been shut down (probably because of the EPA) and production outsourced. Part of that is good, because Canton was under 25 feet of water last weekend, but part of that is bad, because, now, the containers of TP are tied up in port because of the strike. Sometimes you just can't win....
- bigbartabs: @phgruver $COST $TPI ... no win to be had. I have a problem using soggy toilet paper.
- Bert953: @lance1161 $COST testing the 50dMA
- bigreek42: $cost approaching 50 da
- lance1161: $COST While shopping this AM overheard employees saying its like Covid again. The store was crazy busy. Of course no toilet paper and the line ran halfway through the store. People were hoarding. Just an observation with the strike and war news. NP
- Hawaiianmaxx: @lance1161 $COST you've never been to a costco in Hawaii then....😓
- bigbartabs: @Hawaiianmaxx $COST ... Costco in Hawaii... boy you got that right. Every Maui trip, we get off the plane, rent a car... and it's off to get what we need for the week at Costco, just down the road. That place is always packed to the front door!
- lance1161: @Hawaiianmaxx $COST No, I have not and would have never mentioned it if wasn't for the fact the lines were exceptionally long in my Michigan store and that some people were actually talking about the news...
- Hawaiianmaxx: @lance1161 $COST imma try remember to post a pic from costco today...lol it's an adventure everytime
- lance1161: @Hawaiianmaxx $COST ...and I always thought going to see Hawaii was the adventure lol
- Henry: @lance1161 $COST I saw a post in another forum complaining about the crowds in a Costco in SE NC. Fears of a toilet paper shortage due to the dock strike?
- Henry: $COST possible 59 min trade on disappointing earnings. The consensus of Fast Money was it and WMT are at extreme valuations. There are only pt increases on TOS news, the high being $1,005 Carter Worth shook me out of COST once before, I'm hanging on this time.

debeers: $COST-finally figured out that folks were passing their cards to non members. Fixed that with picture scanning. So now, their membership can really
