here we are in a new economy - within a deleveraging landscape. these companies are the biggest & baddest that have beaten the S&P 500, however, upon closer look these companies valuations appear too high, future growth is constricted by debt levels, and already have pretty high institutional ownership for its size.
this stock will not double in the next 5 years...but if it does, thats bcuz most of the other stocks in your portfolio have tripled or done much better during that time frame.
SHORT PG, COST, WMT
costco is flush with cash and it has tons of room for growth. they just opened there first wharehouse in australia. they now have 598 locations, at that location first day sales were over 865,000 usd and over 21,000
signups.
Actually as of 4/16/10 Costco has 567 locations, but yes there annual report of 2009 states that they are looking to double that within the next 10 years. Not sure where you got your figures from Ricken..
