The best deal at Costco?
Hint: it’s not the fresh produce, flat panel TV’s, or apparel.
It’s the company’s stock (full disclosure: I own some).
From a low of $93 last September, it’s now north of $115 — a not-too-shabby 24% return (more if you annualize it).
Runner-up bargain: the CEO, who works for a bargain-basement (these days) salary of $500k. The rest of his compensation is in stock (see above).
