Buy LULU Athletica Inc (LULU)

What triggered me to recommend this today:

Shares of LULU stock have already increased by 17% today due to a strong earnings report.  When a share price increases this much, it usually means one of two things: 1) The share price increased too much and now the stock overvalued, or 2) This price increase is just the tip of the iceberg and the share price will continue to increase in value.  Needless to say, I think the latter situation is what is really going on right now; the share price will continue to increase.
