Confident Investor Rating Poor

The following company description is from Google Finance: http://www.google.com/finance?q=celh

Celsius Holdings, Inc. is engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of functional calorie-burning beverages under the Celsius brand name. The Company focuses to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using its thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus formulation. The Company does not directly manufacture its beverages, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to established third-party co-packers. The Company provides its co-packers with flavors, ingredient blends, cans and other raw materials for its beverages purchased by the Company from various suppliers. Celsius, Inc. and Elite FX, Inc. are the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in Celsius Holdings, Inc. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable.
