Joe, is ok to have a little position in this one if you are not risk averse. They have an MRI system dedicated to mammography and at this time the only one FDA approved for sale in U.S. That means they can sell units in the US and probably Europe. Trouble is there are a lot of high tech companies competing for this niche with cheaper inferior products such as sonograms and a host of other gadgets and MRI mammography needs to prove itself to clinicians and Medicare. To that effect there are clinical trials going on most of next year...and three out of five sites are still waiting to be deployed. If they succeed comercializing the product we will do very well. The stock is very risky because there is competition in and out of the MRI arena and to date they have not reported earnings on a consistent basis.. and if they don't comercialize well then we are all screwed. The FDA has set quality standards and recently finalized them and adopted them as operating guidelines.. for radiology centers and they of course increase the price of the xray and other such equipment and also opens the door for MRi mammography as insurance policy against bad diagnosis because xrays are bad to begin with and no good at all with dense tissue and or implants and patients that have scars from surgery etc. Also Mri is safe for younger women at child bearing ages.. Mri is specially beneficial for the young which is to say women under forty and fifty should default to MRi procedures to be safe. Safe from ionizing radiation and safe diagnostically speaking..from bad reads due to their more denser breasts.. Again Joe a lot of the value investors have been averaging down in here unfortunately you make sure to pace yourself and average up... It is key that they improve revenue and earnings and sell more systems leases and or partnerships.. very important no more goofing around room left on this investment. luis
