Stock price when the opinion was issued
Likes the company, but has never owned the stock. It's always been screened out because of valuation. Trading today at 53x PE on this year's earnings. Great business model, and the street recognizes that.
You have to look at these companies in terms of what can go wrong. If we go into a sustained, negative economic period, there's going to be a lot of hurt on a company like this.
Sank 2.9% today one earnings. However, revenue, EPS and comp. sales beat. Are seeing more younger members. To combat tariffs, are altering their supply chain to hold down prices. It's absurd that the street is punishing them for disappointing renewal rates of online subscribers--this is an excuse to sell. Charlie Munger was a massive shareholder of COST. Over the last 20 years, has returned 19% annually--one of the best stocks ever--vs. 11% by the S&P. With this pullback, it is cheap.
In addition to the 200-day MA, he looks at peaks and troughs. Look at the last low and the last high. The next high hit the previous high, so that's two relatively similar peaks. The stock may be below the 200-day MA (1st rule to sell), but it hasn't dropped below the last trough (2nd rule to sell). As long as it holds above the last trough, you're safe.
Don't go into full panic right now. Hold for now; if it breaks that second rule, then get out.
