Recent decisions on COST

BUY COST 2 — quality diversifier

Catalyst: COST Q2 print (Feb 24). Membership renewal rates hit 93.2% globally, 92.9% in the US — new highs. E-comm +24%. Pricing power confirmed with +3% ticket growth.

Thesis: Non-AI quality compounder inside the tactical sleeve. When the AI trade cools, COST keeps compounding on its own cycle. Diversification without giving up growth.

Sizing: 2 sh (small — position can scale if market provides entry). ~2% NAV.
