I frequently mention the upstart success of Lululemon LULU as an example of a hot stock sporting a hihg P/E ratio. Thankfully this company has removed the stigma of having to attend yoga class attired in run of the mill department store togs that scream, Clearance Sale! I know this comes a a big relief to female TAMUSA students……

Now LULU has sued Calvin Klein for marketing a knock off yoga pant that mimics its features. LULU's pant

goes for $98, Calvin is in the game for $19.95, gee accounting classes, what does that do for LULU's gross margin at those different price oints.

    It is important for small company’s to have patents to protect themselves from cases like this….

    I don’t see where high price yoga pants could stimulate the economy. Klein took a cheap shot with a brand recognition which will sell probably more merchandise. I don’t agree with the case filed by Lulu
