I watched you jump up on the table when Visx hit a high a few weeks past. After you "put down" everyone who had a question, I watched the stock drop so fast, not even I could believe it. I took 3 points in the short, and if I had hung in there, I could have gotten 5.
Now Visx is TOP DOG again - today. We'll see where they are next year. We'll see where they are next week!
There are people working overtime to knock off the Top Dog. We'll see how Visx holds up from the assault by other laser manufacturers and this crazy FED crap.
The best thing that happened to Visx today was not the earnings report. The best thing that happened was the CNBC report that, for the first time since I've been following laser stocks, did not put any qualifier on the surgery itself. It did not mention any negatives about the medical procedure. The only sour point was the looming FED FTC action. All stocks got a bounce.
If you don't believe me, check the prices for BEAM, LCAV, and LVCI.
If you owned all of them, you earned more in percentage increase combined, by far, than if you owned only VISX.
