Restaurant stocks generally have a low ROE, because even the most creative concept can be copied easily. Lynch's technique of buying a restaurant concept which is just rolling out across the country could have gotten you in a world of trouble in the last couple years. Because as Boston Chicken, Planet Hollywood and the steakhouse chains have found out, others copy your concept, and may even build it right next door to your property. I do like McDonalds because it has stood the test of time and the test of competition. Another one that looks like a franchise, Starbucks, I am wary of for reasons I think we discussed on this thread before. JJC
