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 main reasons that the company has fallen to a Fair Company are the lack of increase in its P/E ratio and its revenue and income per employee. These items tend to be a bit cyclical and self-correcting so I am leaving the company on my Watch List for now.
