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, in fact the company ranks as a Good company, but there are some concerns with the price of the stock. Namely the sales of the company are not growing at the rate that make me comfortable. I will not be adding this stock to my Watch List at this time.
