Takeaway: Please note we are removing COST (long) from Investing Ideas today.

Below is a brief note from CEO Keith McCullough on why we're removing Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) from the long side of Investing Ideas today:

"Again, this is a “macro overlay” call that has more to do with taking down exposure to our best long ideas given changing market risks than it does the companies themselves. COST is +3.2% on the day at the time of this note."
