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.  My biggest concern about this company is that it is likely an acquisition candidate but that may allow a nice return for a patient investor.
