Back in August I questioned the appropriateness of Schwab assigning this stock a rank of "B". Several weeks ago they raised it to "A". After much effort, through intermediaries (also at Schwab) I was able to confirm that in their opinion this rank is appropriate, consistent with their valuation system, and based on up to date info. Although tight-lipped about details of their model they did mention that diminishing loss projections and cash flow analysis played some role.
