Opinion & Analysis
Graphic_rating_buy Bullish on COST ...   about COST   10/19/06
Costco is a great place. It's also profitable, as it has just beat analysts 4th quarter expectations. With the customer-first ethos of this company, I only expect Costco to continue doing well.

Graphic_rating_buy Bullish on SBUX ...   about SBUX   10/19/06

Graphic_rating_sell Bearish on F ...   about F   08/24/06
