Well, on Monday COST did a classic double bottom and the players with big piggy banks started buying back so I decided to join them.

On Monday I saw the following trades go through:
11- 25k
1- 50k
1- 75k

On Tuesday:
5- 25k
2- 50k

What probably also fueled the buying was Wal-Mart's stronger than expected earnings:
biz.yahoo.com

And they were still buying-in today:
6~ 25k
4- 50k

(I didn't bother tallying all the trades below 20k)

These guys fuel the trends... I gather they think COST will have a good financial report on Thursday.
and I suspect brokerages are buying-in before they upgrade the stock.

This action occured with SBUX beginning sept 21st.
7- 50k trades went through at about $29
Then 2- 100k the next day, etc.
It went up 12 points after that.

We shall see.
