(COST) on Friday said earnings for the rest of its fiscal year would likely miss Wall Street forecasts because of weaker profits from gasoline sales, sending its shares down 9 percent. “Predatory lender HSBC Finance Corporation backs the Costco credit card. They are the old Household International” said watchdog group Household – HSBC Watch. “Gasoline is not Costco’s only problem when they burdon customers with a predatory credit card such as the Costco Card.”
