I would agree, too bad i am too lazy to do the research. have owned for a while and have a nice profit. motley fool has a nice board if anyone interested. for anyone who does not know they make robotic machines for surgery. the surgeon is at a console and does his or her cutting robotically with every hand movement damped, but vision magnified. this provides for less invasive incisions, and better surgical margins. one of the main selling points is shorter hospital stays because of smaller incisions and less blood loss. they have pretty good penetration in prostatectomy, and are rapidly moving inot other areas. most major med centers in this country have adopted the machines in their training programs. they have sold about 1400 machines thus far, and collect continuing fees in maintenance. some machines in europe none in japan or china, so huge markets to eventually reach. they have a billion dollars in cash and no debt. off the top of my head, that is what i remember <g> Trip
