Relative Strength Index (RSI)

- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in financial markets.

- The RSI is calculated using the following formula:

RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))

Where RS is the ratio of the average gains to the average losses over a specified period.

- The default time period used is 14 days.

- RSI values range between 0 and 100.

RSI values above 70 are considered overbought (indicating a potentially opportune time to sell)

RSI values below 30 are considered oversold (indicating a potentially opportune time to buy)

RSI is not a perfect indicator and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, this is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional financial advice.

About

Costco Wholesale Corp (COST) Business Model and Operations Summary
Costco operates a membership-based, no-frills retail model predicated on offering a select product assortment in bulk quantities at bargain prices. The firm avoids maintaining costly product displays by keeping inventory on pallets and limits distribution expenses by storing its inventory at point of sale in the warehouse. Given its frugal cost structure, the firm is able to price its merchandise below that of competing retailers, driving high sales volume per warehouse and generating strong profits on thin margins. Costco operates over 600 warehouses in the United States and has over 60% share in the domestic warehouse club industry. Internationally, Costco operates another 280 warehouses, primarily in Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the UK.
