DeVry Inc. ($DV) Target: $86 Confident Investor Rating: Fair
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.

Confident Investor comments: This is the first company in this Watch List refresh series that has stopped being a Good Company. 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. If you already have built up an investment in this company, you may want to consider holding it and not add anymore.
