Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Tractor Supply Company as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. Since the company is scoring at the low end of what I consider to be a Fair Company, I am taking them off of my Watch List for now.
