lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU)

yoga is just breaking the ice into the international world. In places of high stress and work like Asia and the U.S., yoga is going to be a major player among the wealthy for coping. you will have lots of women who are either big money makers themselves or married to big moneymakers who are going to want to want to be part of this trend, and lulu has a head start. the clothing fits snug and makes even the most shapeless body have curves. its not only comfortable, but its vain too.

This stock is better than Starbucks! I have been to the stores and the clothes are absolutely amazing. It is the best the Retail Sector has to offer.

Girls love this stuff and they have lots of room for expansion with some momentum.

sports wear for rich women it's a swing for the fence.

Lulu has a great little cult following and is growing like crazy. Their stuff is very in right now and growing. I asked some of the people i work with and many of them have daughters that die over this stuff. Its hot and I am on the bandwagon. Much like CROX this should take off and carry the company until the trend dies out.

challenge to nke

Wow how did I miss this monsters IPO !!!!! I have been following the company for a few years waiting for them to go public but I completly missed the news of the IPO !!! I am so upset !!!!! I did get 500 shares but will get a few thousand more when its drops down a little.The p/e is a lil high with alot of hype factored into the stock but its well warranted.

This is a great company in its infancy, they were sheltered in Canada for a few years and have developed mass word of mouth and great branding. They have veered from primarily yoga wear to active lifestyle mens and woman wear.

This year they are on slated to open 25 new stores with the majority cracking into the states market and are slated for 35 next year. Expect gmore global growth and even more aggressive expansion. They are starting to make more profit percentage and are streamlining every aspect of their bizz for maximum growth and profits.

LULU is coming harder than a MAC TRUCK and investors will be along for the ride especially once the number of stores are doubled in the next 2 years. So its easy to say that a long term hold is in order and i wouldnt be surpised if we triple the stock price in the next couple years.

My girlfriend and her friends shop exclusively at Lulu for their workout attire. I've also been pleased to seen their products promoted heavily in the Equinox gyms around NYC. I think the future looks bright for this company.

Following UA steps

Lululemon, lululemon...so expensive, but it's going to expand 30-35 stores next year. it's high luxury apparel wear, which has somehow done really well during this summer turbulence...keep an eye out on it...yippi!

As long as the fed is listening to the drumbeat of the upcoming elections, it will respond in a way that benefits niche players like lululemon and their followers who have enough money to buy its products as well as its stock... but not enough time or understanding of its over-the-top valuation to be frightened away.

Popular trendy quality clothes for the expanding yoga generation. Busy stores, clever marketing by changing existing styles very slightly every season. Causes urgency since customers know it will not be made next year.

Ready to explode.

Went to one of their stores. I like the positioning of this brand. Don't see competition from the giants stopping LULUs momentum. American penetration (and revenue)currently is minimal. These guys will be in every upscale neighborhood in time.

Been doing yoga for 3 years. Been watching LULU for 4 years. This Canadian company is going to be all over the print media within 2 years. Most comfortable pants ever...Nike can't hang, but they'll try. LULU's got a grasp on Yoga wear...I've watched yoga styles for 3 years, and this one ain't fading anytime soon. Guaranteed twobagger within 2 years.

THIS IS NO CROX...Crocs will fall out of style. You watch. LULU will not. Yoga is here to stay.

The wife and all her friends have been all about it, and Nintendo is releasing a Yoga game (along with a balance board) for the Wii. Skyhigh multiple, it appears to be a high risk momentum play.

The wife just got some yoga clothes recently that were made out of bamboo and seaweed and it appears that most of this lulu stuff is nylon, so I don’t know if that makes any difference (whether the yoga peeps are gonna demand “green” fabrics) but I’d rather buy into a natural fabric clothes maker. Its on watch for now.

up and coming product with increasing name recognition

Lack of Online Sales out of the gate is a huge issue. This will come into play over and over again as the QReports roll in and investors ask.."where can we get more Money?"
Brick and Mortor is going to cost.
Commercial Retail space is at an all time High in Canada. Going out of the Franchise business means spending just as much money on Management in the coming years as the growth spurts will mean added "Middle/Regional Mngmt" in order to keep the ship right.

Then we have "trend fashion".
Women are a great market no doubt. Fickle maybe? Yoga a trend?
These things play into the fact that you will have a Nike or Adidas knock-off being marketed at another Niche level demographic market. (ie Teen Girls or College age)

Last thing. I have a GF that wears this stuff like nobodies business. Yes her A$$ looks amazing. But this time 2 years ago it was all about BENCH Clothing and her friends all bought that up.

Ralph Lauren has been doing this for a long long time. Retail outlets and a Niche Market with simple clothing....
LULU Yoga does not a Polo Make.

LULULEMON shoppers don't worry about credit. This is an upscale crowd. Fabrics feel great.

Designs are perfect. Should feel like the first time you stepped into a pair of Crocs but much more attractive.
