    Shares of Costco (COST) may come under pressure after the wholesale retailer reported weaker than expected second quarter results. The company also announced plans to raise membership fees.

    Shares of Costco ($COST) moved to the upside in pre-market trading after the warehouse retailer reported stronger than expected same-store sales growth in March.

    Below $151 indicates going to mid-$140's. BTW Buffett sold his Costco stock a long time ago. You will see his disclosure soon!

    Sales numbers good and consistent with last three months - daytraders don't over hype -don't expect big moves but 1-2% should be good

    3-day swing from 155 to 159 + change for me. I'm happy w/ that. Probably crawls back to 160 but market still wants sizeable correction.

    COST is still at a massive discount. No problem with profit taking at these levels, great opportunity to add more before ER!
