Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in Vale SA (ADR). It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable and while the latest quarter results were better, it is still not good enough. I am removing this company from my Watch List.
