BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) March 14, 2019 Safe place to be. Constantly produces high single digit growth. Good balance sheet. They treat their employees well and that counts in the long term. They haven't been Amazoned yet. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Safe place to be. Constantly produces high single digit growth. Good balance sheet.

COMMENT	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) March 12, 2019 As a long-term hold? A great company that keeps producing results. Trades at a high multiple in the retail space. If you own a lot of this in your portfolio, say over 10%, then take some money off the table. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	As a long-term hold? A great company that keeps producing results.

DON'T BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) February 6, 2019 A great business model driven by memberships which mostly makes up their $3 billion net profit. A very good company. But it trades at 27x earnings, which has always puzzled him--why so high? This makes COST risky. So, any misstep can be costly. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	A great business model driven by memberships which mostly makes up their $3 billion net profit. A very good company.

HOLD	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) February 1, 2019 They continue to thrive against Amazon and he likes their business model. Upside in the stock price will depend on the health of consumer spending.

COMMENT	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) January 23, 2019 It's done very well, but its valuation is high at 27X forward earnings with an 11% growth rate. Strong same-store sales and membership renewals (at 90%). Their sales are twice as high as their competitors. Long-term, they must have more of an online presence and service to compete. Also, in the future will millennials buy memberships? department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It's done very well, but its valuation is high at 27X forward earnings with an 11% growth rate.

DON'T BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) January 17, 2019 Doesn't like retail, because where's the advantage coming from? But it would be better than a Nordstrom, for example. What price do you want to pay based on its valuation? What kind of growth are you going to get? department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Doesn't like retail, because where's the advantage coming from?

WATCH	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) January 17, 2019 It is a great model because of the annual membership fee. There is not a lot of competition with on-line. The time to buy was December. If it checked back a bit he would add it to portfolios. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It is a great model because of the annual membership fee.

BUY on WEAKNESS	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) December 19, 2018 Class action lawsuit? He was not aware of any class action lawsuit. He likes the membership revenues as it creates a competitive advantage over Walmart and others. The valuation is always a little to rich for him. He is not sure that expansion to Europe will be wildly successful. He is ambivalent, but would look to buy on weakness -- at better valuation metrics. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Class action lawsuit? He was not aware of any class action lawsuit.

WAIT	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) November 26, 2018 A great company. The only question is what are you willing to pay for it. For him, it is just too expensive at this price.

BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) October 22, 2018 A terrific business providing value for consumers. There's square-footage growth for Costco. There's opportunity here. A little expensive now, but the demand is there, as seen when they recently opened in France. When Amazon bought Whole Foods, Costco sold off last year, but he thinks Costco is resistent to Amazon. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	A terrific business providing value for consumers.

COMMENT	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) September 25, 2018 He has owned this in the past. It defies Amazon and the internet because people love the shopping experience at Costco. Its price keeps rising--this is not a value stock and so it is not for him and his clients, but it is an amazing retailer. This is a stock that someone who likes growth companies can own because it executes its business fabulously. They make their money on the memberships rather than on the margin on the merchandise they sell. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He has owned this in the past.

DON'T BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) August 17, 2018 Pretty expensive right now. This segment of US retail doing well. Difficulty is that Costco is defensive, and the multiple is high for that at 32x earnings. Really have to execute every quarter. If you have a positive view on US consumer, look at Couche-Tard or Dollar Tree. (Analysts’ price target is around $212.) department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Pretty expensive right now.

WEAK BUY	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) July 27, 2018 At start of year, dropped in January with rest of market. Has since made new highs. Sideways motion over past 3 years, lot of struggling. Breaking into a new phase again. Use a 30-40-50 day moving average as an exit point, then move on to something else. Have to be cautious with a stock like this. Good fundamentally compared to the industry. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	At start of year, dropped in January with rest of market. Has since made new highs.

HOLD	Costco Wholesale(COST-Q) July 26, 2018 It is always going to be too expensive if you are a value investor. It is always 25 times PE or more. But the shares continue to go higher and higher. It is at 31 times right now. They continue to post strong sales, up 12% year over year. department stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It is always going to be too expensive if you are a value investor.
