USS - United States Surgical Corporation
An SI Board Since October 1997
Posts SubjectMarks Bans Symbol
30 0 0 USS
Emcee:  Logain Ablar Type:  Unmoderated
Introduction Market Data Compact
On October 1, Leon C. Hirsch, chairman of United States Surgical Corporation announced ''The company expects third quarter sales to be the best in nearly five years.''

I've been following this company since the stock was @ $106 (ouch) but it seems managements strategy is starting to materialize. Earnings come out on the 21st.

Any opinions on this one? Is it time to invest?
