As you probably have read, Berkshire Hathaway has offered to purchase the remaining shares of Wesco Financial [stckqut]WSC[/stckqut] that the company currently does not own. I assume this offer will be accepted (although there is a chance that the price will have to increase). Based on this news, I am removing Wesco from my Watch List as I cannot confidently say that the price of the stock will increase dramatically from this point.

I do not encourage you to expand your position in the stock from this point. If you would like to hold on to the stock to look for a better price from Warren Buffett, that is your choice.

Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in this stock as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns.

I am removing this stock from my Watch List. The company has not been growing their P/E since my last review and now the company has slipped to being only a Fair Company. If their Sales Growth would increase then they would like return to the Watch List.

Since I last reviewed this company, they are no longer performing as well on Employee Productivity and Sales Growth. This has caused them to fall from the Watch List.
