Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock.  It is quite rare for a company to score as Good in all of the metrics that I monitor so unless you already have a strong exposure to this sector, you should consider investing here.

Several times a year, a Confident Investor must reevaluate the companies in the portfolio. Keeping your money in a stock that no longer qualifies as a “Good” company can end up hurting your investment performance a great deal.  Also, there are a lot of Good Companies so losing the worst of the best is not going to impact the ability to have a balanced portfolio.  Over the coming days, this site will evaluate each stock on the Watch List.
