Toy stocks are low-priced, thinly traded shares of small or emerging companies that often attract investors more for speculative excitement than for fundamental value. Because they trade at very low per-share prices, these stocks can exhibit extreme price volatility and are prone to market manipulation. As a result, toy stocks carry higher risk and may be unsuitable for conservative investment strategies. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.</p><div><p><span></span><span>Get <strong>Costco Wholesale</strong> alerts:</span></p></div><h2>Costco Wholesale (COST)</h2><p>Costco Wholesale Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the operation of membership warehouses in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, Korea, Australia, Taiwan, China, Spain, France, Iceland, New Zealand, and Sweden.
