Comment:
Will need to examine its past performances in depth. During the recent global financial crisis, its earnings went down to almost nil in Q3 and Q4 of last financial year. However, the earnings for the latest 2 quarters had been good.

Since this stock is outside my area of competence, will avoid being entangled with it. However, will keep track of it. There are other stocks with better quality and durable competitive advantage to invest in.
