costco is wonderful.consistent, both in terms of its earnings and sales, and in the stock performance. it just keeps going up. the problem is because its gone up so much it trades at 51 times earnings, which is a higher pe than meta and other tech stocks. then you have target which blew up after reporting earnings earlier this month and the problem there is it's losing market share, really needs to invest in getting people to come back in, but it trades for only 12 times so if you have a strong stomach the thing to do is to avoid costco and maybe take a look at target. >> interesting play. >> i'm looking at one of the hottest technology stocks this year and i would avoid palantir. it's more than tripled this year and become a cult stock. it's probably one of the richest software companies in the world based on valuation metrics. for about 40 times next year sales, and for well more than 100 times earnings, a lot of growth and good news, and now around 60. i think alphabet which is a parent of google looks
