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.
