It is called "Institutional Manipulation" !!!!!!
I totally agree Don... The drivers for ultimate succe$$ with the Rio/MAKOplasty Orthpaedic platform includes enhanced surgical accuracy & efficiency, minimally invasive, fewer complications, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, patients demanding MAKOplasty, administrators seeing a market opportunity & surgeons seeing distinct advantages including malpractice protection features, etc. !!!!

YES... that is WHY if the $hort $ELLer does NOT already have possession of the $hare$, they should NOT be able to $ell them !!!!!
The key word was "ALL" ... $hort $ELLing is currently NOT illegal in the USA !!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
ALL $hort $ELLing should be ILLEGAL in my opinion... if u do NOT own it, u should NOT be able to $ELL it ...
$hort $ELLing is nothing more than manipulation !!!!!

Increased utilization = win for all parties (hospital, surgeon & MAKO) = ultimately PROFITability = much higher stock price !!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Mako simply needs to demonstrate to the market that they are achieving their revised Marketing/Sales business strategy for significantly increased utilization for new & existing installed Rio units !!!!!!

NObody is going ????
Perhaps, they should cancel the meeting & spend the time trying to sell a few additional units & increase procedures volume !!!!

Is anyone going to the Annual Meeting next Tuesday in Ft Lauderdale ????

The deision is as it should be... just wish there was a consequence for the lawyers who file these type of groundle$$ lawsuits, which cost the Company an exce$$ive amount in attorney fees to defend themselves !!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They already have a ma$$ive number of options & will get many, many more as MAKO grows & achieves profitability, so there is no need for them to BUY now !!!!!

Good morning... LQQKs like u start at 8:30 am providing the $hort $eller party line !!!!!
Interesting, but TKA would appear to be the logical next step, which would address a vast MAKOplasty market opportunity !!!!

U r the Mako official broken record... Same message over & over & over & over & over & over & over again !!!!!!!!!
Per a review of the MAKO web site, there are 142 hospitals with at least 1 Rio unit, 521 surgeons apparently using MAKOplasty for PKA plus 162 THA users... the major States with Rio units are CA, TX, FL and NY
MAKO is looking for a Product Support Specialist, SE Asia, 5 MAKOplasty Sales Specialist, 2 RIO Account Executives including one in Minneapolis and a Territory Sales Manager in Dallas plus many other positions per its website... u can draw your own conclusion, but I see this as very positive for 2013 growth & operating results as MAKO achieves profitability in 2014 in my opinion !!!!

Dr Buechel recently returned from another trip to China... On that basis, I expect Hong Kong to be a 2ndQ $ale !!!!
I have discussed MAKOplasty with several prominent orthopaedic surgeons, who currently see no value in usuing MAKoplasty ... their egos are getting in the way of common sense & putting their patient at risk, in my opinion ... I asked one of them, whether he had any less than perfect days & how those patients felt with an inferior placement/ surgery? He simply reacted with a surprised look for me challenging his egotictic comments on WHY he doesnt use mAKOplasty !!!!!
