Also wondering if GDT is going to get back into the small niche company acquisition game. It has been a while since the last bolt-on pickup by GDT. MDT on the other hand has been on an orgy of acquisitions. They appear to announce one a week. BSX has recently stepped up their purchasing of small companies as well.

Using cash on the balance sheet (about $400 million) for acquisitions, which is earning next to nothing, would not be very dilutive. Come on GDT build the pipeline!

Cheers,
