Abbott may have to share the remains of the
TURKEY in Thanksgiving....but why worry, if
BII does'nt get taken over by abbott their $!!mil dollar loan is convertible at $4 by which time the value of the loan may be $16 or more.

I hope that from tomorrow, with THANKSGIVING over, we will be seeing
the
share price start to REALLY move...........
The share has several key components that all of us should be aware of,
as this price is extremely FALSE and undervalued.......
Let's examine why?
1.Last Year, Johnson & Johnson and BII talked all the way to œ14 without
striking a deal, based on JnJ's interest then in BII's UNAPPROVED stent
product(holds open arteries in surgery...only two other makers in the
world).
2.Merrill Lynch six months ago issued a strong buy with a price target
of œ2.60,
updating it in the light of recent events to nearer œ6.
3.Boston Scientific and Abbott start getting interested.

Pause for a moment and take this on board!!
The CORE of their interest, all three, is that they could'nt give a toss
for
BII's product outside the USA, they were-are, only interested in the
product,
and possibly the company, in the context of a Federal Drug
Administration
Agency approved product for the USA markets.
That is the CENTRAL issue. Read on!

4.Abbott, sensing that BII are near to FAST TRACKING the stents through
the
FDA, give BII an UNSECURED loan of œ7 mil...to buy out the 40%
of product rights they dont own from another American partner in the
product.
Well, they did get a bit of security, i.e. the right to convert the loan
at "wait for it"
yep, you got it...œ2.60.
5. The share price starts to go mad, and all the Newspapers, and I mean
ALL,
reccommend it even naming prices, from œ4.90 thru œ6 within
days......Did'nt
happen yet.
6. Nomura issue a BUY rating
7. Killinick, followed by others........
8. Saloman Smith Barney issue a BUY yesterday........price went down.

WHY?????????

To let the INSTITUTIONS in before the BIG DAY!!!!!!
It never ceases to happen....you and me dont count.....before the IT
happens
a stock's price always goes back 20% or so from recent highs to give the

institutions their fill....THAT IS NOT A STATEMENT OF FACT,SIMPLY MY
OPINION....

What is the IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Tjhis share is all about STENTS, andnothing to do with analysts
reccommendations,
and nothing to do with the very impressive FINANCIALS last week....

IT is all about........FEDERAL DRUG ADMINISTRATION AGENCY
approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that happens, we will see the PREMPTIVE strike made by ABBOTT,
with their œ7 million, convertibles, turned into a dogfight between J &
J,
Boston (been smarting for two years at failing to get BII, just read
shareholder comments on YAHOO 2 months ago...BSX), and if ABBOTT
dont get the deal ultimately, they have œ7 million pounds convertible at
œ2.60
which will yield enough profit to cover their anticipated share losses
for 1999.

Target..œ6 plus certainly.....Sell half your holding and hold for
more.....
Chances of Fda approval....................10/1 on!!!

DONT SELL AT THESE PRICES!!!!!!!!!!
