Every time I visit any Costco , it seems packed with customers, I like to invest in companies I go and visit, touch and feel , not all brick and mortar , even technology type entities, I believe in visiting the companies even if I have a tiny stake , I have also visited startups , micro cap, mid cap , it gives me some real idea of the overall business, imo and my plan for Costco buy the dips , keep accumulating

Am surprised that this is one of the few times I've checked in on it.....
What you've stated could indeed have SOME impact on price ...... & on the perception or reputation of it being such a terrific investment

We do not give a chit. We are rich from the stock
