“[…]and Chipotle is just a great growth story when you take a look at how it’s expanding, and what’s interesting about it is we have had some commodityinflation here earlier this summer, and they were able to raise their prices for the first time in about three years, and yet they had a surprise earnings beat of over 14%, almost 15% in the second quarter. And then Disney just still views itself as a growth company and it’s continuing to grow,” Rosenthal said.
