Posting from Tampa Florida today…
On Thursday markets were down moderately with the S&P 500 down 0.9% and Toronto down 0.1%.
CRH Medical was up 4.9% in Toronto.
Costco was down 0.9% despite reporting yet another very strong month of same-store sales growth in January. Growth was particularly strong in the U.S. at 7.3% and 4.3% in Canada. These are the numbers adjusted for foreign exchange and gasoline sales. Growth before adjustments were lower but it is the adjusted numbers that are usually focused on. Still, some reports called the growth disappointment.
