User Image ChiefOptionsTrader Posted - 1 day ago

$COST A close at around $800 or higher would be in line with NORMAL trading. Yesterday's high was $804.56. With GOOD Earnings coming out at the end of the month, I am expecting the stock to rally to around the $850 range.

$COST what’s the path for this company to make 35B a year so the 350B market cap makes sense? I just don’t see how they 5x profits/revenue from here in less than 30 years.

User Image ChiefOptionsTrader Posted - 2 days ago

$COST I feel GOOD about OWNING this stock and YOU should too. I have no problems following the BUY and HOLD strategy. It really WORKS. I can feel the CONFIDENCE in my gut that this stock will hit $900+ in the future. My gut is never wrong. We are going to get there one way or another, but we are going to get there. Stay STRONG and HOLD long.

User Image ChiefOptionsTrader Posted - 2 days ago

$COST Yesterday was a small sample of what is to come. The skids are being greased for a big JUMP upwards. I am predicting this stock could easily rally to the $850 territory.

User Image bryfuture Posted - 2 days ago

$COST earnings is for sure going to push this to 850

User Image bryfuture Posted - 2 days ago

$COST It will flush down by end of the day

User Image ChiefOptionsTrader Posted - 2 days ago

$COST As we move FORWARD. I expect to see this stock hit the $805...$810...$815 price levels on its road to $850+. The BEST time to BUY is BEFORE this happens. That is NOW. Anything below those levels is a STRONG BUY. Don't just take my word, MANY analysts that have followed this stock for years agree with me. Better yet, make yourself a 20-year chart to remind yourself WHY you BOUGHT this stock and WHY you are HOLDING. Good luck.

$COST Looks like we bust through that 52 week high ceiling today. The bar is being raised. I think we busted it by over twelve bucks. Congratulations to all who participated in such an event. It does not happen everyday. My next price target is good support around the $850 price. Give or take several dollars. Remember the strategy, BUY any dips or pullbacks if they should occur. Take full advantage of those opportunities when available. The price target will be much higher. Good luck.

$COST confusing day. Looking at morning price action, volume and calls volume all indicated a great day. Did not think it will give up all the gains. Now me sitting with my $800 calls. We shall see tomorrow
