Confident Investor comments: The calculations for the future stock price are actually quite a bit higher than what I settled on. I have a hard time predicting the stock over $1,000 but that is what came out! At this price and at this time, I think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock.

Confident Investor comments: 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. I would not be surprised that if I analyze this company in 9 months, it would rate as Good.  It was really close to making it.
