Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable. This is unfortunate since the stock price for this company has appreciated quite nicely for the past 12 months but an unprofitable company is not very predictable in its actions.

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. The stock has grown quite nicely over the past months and even though it doesn’t rate that highly, an investor that held on to an existing investment may be wise.
