Another analyst upped MDT target price. Look for alot more upgrades as we move forward. MDT will get approval on the Jewel AF defib device in a couple months (maybe weeks). This maybe the "old" MDT reinvented!!!!!. The biggest things from the recent announcements are:

1. S670 stent approved with Rapid exchange technology.
This is HUGE.
2. Analyst are starting to see that the R&D is paying off
bigtime.
3. All six aquisitions have been integrated and will pay dividends as we move forward. This is big news as MDT spent approx $8B.

Good luck to all,
Mike
