Q: Protech Home Medical (ticker now PTQ) just released their YE results. With the SP up 14% and trading volume more than twice its daily average in the first two hours, the market is clearly impressed so I would appreciate your analysis. As the turnaround under new management appears to be well underway, is there a chance that you might re-visit this company?

Q: ISRG was down about 4% Friday on general concerns about spending and increased competition from J&J and Google amongst others. I’m not sure what the fuss is all about since competition is just a fact of life and to the best of my knowledge neither J&J nor Google have any experience building medical devices.
It’s reported ISRG earned $2.96 a share, missing expectations by 2-11 cents per share. However ISRG reported profit was cut by 16 cents per share due to a payment to the Intuitive Foundation. Is the foundation part of the research arm of ISRG and why a foundation? Would ISRG have exceeded expectations if they hadn’t payed money to the foundation and did the analysis’s anticipate the donation to the the foundation?
I am contemplating buying the dip a little bit or do you think I should hold off?
Thanks for you prompt response on Conmed! (I don’t count the weekend as part of the 36 hour commitment).

Q: Cheers. I’ve noticed that Lumber futures have had a nice climb since the New Year. Do your sources confirm this? If so what companies (1 or 2) would stand to profit the most from this rise?
Thanks for your assistance

Q: hi folks:

as a PSA to the group, i wonder how long it is until the money laundering in river rock becomes a serious problem for GC

i do not own it for this very purpose and wonder how people will react when all the dots are connected and it is proven that GC was complicit in criminal behavior on an epic scale

not sure what the outcome will be yet i think people should handicap accordingly; and no, side from not owning i am not sure how to quantify this risk

comments?

cheers

Q: Hi 5i:
What do you think about Assure at this point? I have been patient with a small position despite the suggestion just to sell and move on to something untroubled, just to see what would happen and because it actually seemed like it had an interesting business. The problems they had seem to be getting resolved. The share price has been relatively stable for a while now with the odd uptick recently. Is there enough going on there to justify my continuing to hold or would you still say no reason to stick around? Thanks!
