Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

This week’s pics are brought to you by Carl’s Jr. Welcome to Costco, I love you.

1. COST - $729.18/share, 0.64% yield, options trade weekly.
   
   It’s Costco. Even if you personally don’t shop there, you probably end up consuming Kirkland Signature products. Face it, we’re all Costco-adjacent.
   

2. WMT - $60.16/share, 1.38% yield, options trade weekly.
   
   Not unlike Costco, we’re all Wal-Mart-adjacent. Some more than others.
   

3. CMRE - $11.78/share, 3.99% yield, options trade mothly.
   
   Costamere isn’t a grocer, but they are likely Costco and Wal-Mart adjacent. Here’s a copy/paste from Fidelity.
   
   Costamare Inc. owns and operates containerships and dry bulk vessels that are chartered to liner companies providing transportation of cargoes worldwide. As of March 19, 2024, it had a fleet of fleet of 68 containerships and 37 dry bulk vessels. The company was founded in 1974 and is based in Monaco.
   
   

4. KR - $55.49/share, 2.07% yield, options trade weekly.
   
   This is Kroger’s symbol. Many of us are in no way Kroger-adjacent. They’re really more of a poor person store.
   
   Which is funny, because their prices are ridiculous.
   
   They -were- one of the first to start offering memberships in order to get discounts. Too bad their discount just means you’re giving away all your personal information in exchange for normal prices.
   
   Kroger is a terrible company and exploits the ignorant working class. Buy shares and vote wisely.
   
   
   

5. CABA - $11.01/share, no dividends, options trade monthly.
   
   We know nearly -nothing- about this stock. Cabaletta Bio, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on the discovery and development of engineered T cell therapies for patients with B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
   
   Sounds pretty gay. Throwing a dart, we’ll check back next year and take profit (hopefully).
