Good to see Hanwha getting what I think is their due. Reasonable value for good performance without the race-to-the-bottom pricing (ergo trading off quality, cybersecurity, and a false claim to caring about outside channel sales).

I'm confused. We're only 5 months into 2018 and favorites have already been chosen? Wouldn't you wait until the end of the year to judge favorites and worst for a particular year? Just wondering.
