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. This is the type of company that some people would prefer to not invest in due to its reliance on revenue from tobacco products. I do not think you should invest in a company if you are morally opposed to its products.
