Confident Investor comments: This stock price may be significantly undervalued. It has not recovered fully from its major decline in August and September of 2010. 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.
