Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in China Biologic Products Holdings Inc as long as the price is correct and the indicators that I describe in my book The Confident Investor are favorable. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I am removing China Biologic from my Watch List due to its recent stock performance and the current climate of reducing the importance of companies from China in western markets. This will make room for stocks that are higher performing.

If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor. You can review the best companies that I have found (and I probably invest my own money in most of these companies) in my Watch List.
