That's not too bad, I got in at 5 1/16 in December. I'm sure that not too far in the future we'll be looking at 30

I think you are right about the price fall except for the timing. The volume on this guy will take more that today to subside. Many investors who have followed the technology for the past several months are expecting Summit to become another VISX as it matures.

FWIW They do already have FDA approval on something:

In October 1995, after years of clinical trials, the FDA approved the use of laser
vision correction for moderate myopia with excimer lasers manufactured by
Summit Technology, Inc. Devices made by VISX, Inc. received FDA approval
later.

Shorted a 25% helping this morning. Got my fill at 28 1/2 on a 28 limit. Every once in a while you catch a break.
