Here's Why We Think Commercial Bank (P.S.Q.C.) (DSM:CBQK) Is Well Worth Watching

The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide Commercial Bank (P.S.Q.C.) with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.
