Costco looks very good.

Costco will grow as fast as the top fortune 500 firms!
thump up we will reach several new all-time highs this and next year.

if the sales and earnings keep rising through out next year 2010 then we could reach 100 plus bucks

Did quite well through the recession. Continues to expand and each store rakes in the bucks growing larger and large same store sales the first five years. A great well loved merchandising concept that people really like. Limited product lines of higher than average quality. Steadily she grows.
