Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in Gulfport Energy Corporation. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable. I will be removing Gulfport from my Watch List.
If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor.
