    The Consumer Staples Face-Off: Buy VDC for Growth, Hold KXI for Global Cash Flow

    Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC) is recommended as the better buy for most investors due to its ultra-low 0.09% expense ratio and superior 5-year performance (44% total return, 7.6% CAGR), despite focusing only on U.S. companies. iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (KXI) offers international diversification with 60% U.S. and 40% international exposure and slightly higher dividend yield (2.3% vs 2.1%), but charges a higher 0.38% expense ratio and delivered lower returns (31% total return, 5.5% CAGR).

    Costco's Last Stock Split Was in 2000. Is Its Board Close to Another?

    Costco's stock price has reached ~$994 per share since its last 2-for-1 split in January 2000, prompting investor questions about another split. However, CEO Ron Vachris and CFO Gary Millerchip have repeatedly stated there are no immediate plans, citing that fractional share purchases now make splits less economically necessary. The company continues to review the possibility with its board, but the author believes a split is unlikely in the near term and suggests a special dividend would be more beneficial to shareholders.
