Dennis, Thanks for the compliment and I may not be a guru but I do love MDT stock. I have been in on MDT for over 10 years and it is my number one holding. I like having the opportunity to inform people on the benefits of owning this stock. This stock has the capability of changing both your life and pushing up your retirement date. Since you are new to MDT let me give you just a little info. Sorry if you already have this info. First the average yearly return that MDT shareholders have experienced over the past 10 years is 39.6%. Yes you read correct MDT stock has increased at an average of 39.6% PER YEAR. The platform that MDT has set with new products is incredible. Starting in late October with the introduction of the Gem DR defib MDT will have NEW products out in the next six months that will represent 77% of MDT's revenue base. What that means is that MDT will be upgrading many of it's products as we move forward. The second phase of those new products was released Friday with the Kappa 700 launch. The third phase is with the Gem DR II to be released in April. With the aquisition of AVEI,SDG and AVEC MDT is ready for a rapid acceleration in both sales and EARNINGS in the next six months. Both of these companies have many new products coming out in the next few months that will accelerate growth. One company that I have failed to mention is Physio-Control which MDT purchased and completed the deal on a couple of months ago. This is an external defib manufacturer that was a great aquisition. Complete your due diligence on MDT and take a look at it's web site Medtronic.com . You will be impressed. Going forward MDT is also getting into new areas that currently there is very little in the way of implantable therapy. This is in the area of atrial fib,heart failure and syncope market. MDT has devices in development that will attempt to address these markets. MDT has a new interesting internet site that is faint.com. Check it out and let us know what you think. My enthusiasm could blind me to issues that I have not analyzed. Your thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Do your due diligence but load up on MDT. One last thing is the rating that I give MDT stock. That rating has been and will continue to be a BUTT rating. That is Back Up The Truck rating. Load that truck with MDT. Best to you and the board, Mike
