even ones at the bottom, like red robin, chipotle. the issue is this.ald's relative strength in the market is very impressive. it typically means there's more to come. >> i hear what you're saying, 22 times earnings for a company that has seen sequential revenue decline for the last three years, that seems a little troubling, but they are well positioned if they move into the delivery space, for example. they've got locations everywhere. benefits in terms of costs relative to the competitors coming on the scene. i think that's one of the reasons that people are inclined to pay up, essentially, with the company actually believing there is a promise of potential cost savings and new businesses for them. also, they're trying to compete with some of the people that have been eating -- >> this is a company that had $28 billion in sales for 2007 and expecting less than $20 billion next year. i think you're on the wrong side of history if you think the next 30 years will be like the last 30. a point about the starbucks unicorn drink. >> stomach ache in a cup.
