What was said around it

moving from 2015 18 it's above a 20 percent so they're actually increasing the amount of Returns on Capital employee that they have as time goes on this is a sign of incredibly good discipline from the management they will only invest your money into things that have high expected future returns so this is a company where you're not going to get the best returns in a six-month period I don't think that Costco is going to raise up 2 and 3X anytime soon but it's one that I think has low downside a very long Runway of growth I think the company will be two or three times as big in the next 20 to 30 years and I think it will give stable returns to investors over that time period so that rounds out my top five picks for 2023. maybe I'll do a video next year that shows a follow-up of what happened that would be interesting to see so that's all for now if you enjoyed this episode you can head over to the patreon to join us to have more content more exclusive videos most of them are an hour long they're a bit more relaxed it's just me answering questions talking with the community here it's a lot of fun and you get access to qualtrim which is that that whole Suite of software and best yet there's
