Lululemon vs Cheescake!

So the Lululemon yoga tights show cheesecake in the buttocks, and on CNBC today, you had an analyst talking up LULU.

So let's just think about this logically.

How many times do you shop at Lululemon in a year?

Well let me phrase that another way--How many times do you eat at Cheesecake Factory in a year?

So do the math. CAKE has market cap of $1.8 billion, and they have 177 stores. So Wall Street values a Cheesecake store at $10 million each.

So do the math again. LULU has a market cap of close to $10 billion, and they have 201 stores. Wall Street values their yoga stores at $50 million each!

Do you know anyone in their right mind that would buy a Lululemon store for $50 million?

So why then, would you buy the stock??
