Q: I sold SBUX to take a capital loss and bought CMG as a proxy. After comparing growth projections and balance sheets I am wondering if I should bother buying back Starbucks after 30 days or just keep Chipotle. SBUX looks cheaper but maybe cheap for a reason. Can you please compare the two and provide your thoughts as to which one would be better for a long term hold?
Q: You've recently described Chipotle as expensive, even after a large drop since mid-June. What would you consider a reasonable valuation for it now, and do you see the surprise and very sudden departure of the CEO (and any other talent he poaches from there) as affecting its future prospects?
Q: With the share price almost 25% down in the last month following the share split would you consider this restaurant chain as a good investment for the long term ? Also what do you think of yesterday numbers ? Thanks !
