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 !!!!!

It was 6, 9, 15, 15 = 45
MAKO needs to feature a professional athelete (active or retired), who successfully benefitted from PKA or even THA... their endorsement & testimonial would be extremely valuable !!!!

They do NOT need to buy as they have & will be awarded a massive number of options to exercise as the company grows & becomes profitable !!!!!!

NAKED for 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month are all the same in my book & should be illegal !!!!

Just wonder how much of this recent trading actvity is a result of Naked $hort $elling ?????
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Combiined improvements in Gro$$ Margins & LOWer growth rates in SG&A expense$$$ will also contribute to a sooner than later achievement of profit plus positive cash flow... it is about much more than strictly installed base & utilization !!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
MAKO's CFO has repeatedly stated when they will be PROFITable = 150 installed RIO base, which they have already achieved, combined with an average utilization of 10 procedures per mopnth per unit, which should occur in 2014 at the latest (strictly my opinion based on revised business plan per the CEO)... another factor for achieving positive cash flow sooner than later is the declining growth in SG&A expense$$$$ & improving gro$$ profit margins !!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Call Investor Relations & request a copy of the Proxy & Financials... Also, confirm your planned attendance & let them validate !!!!
For the higher costs involved, can ISRG demonstrate better imperical results with robotics ?????
MAKO needs to address the reasons for the low rating in PKA & THA versus the competition !!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Totally agree... excellent question for the Annual Meeting on Tuesday 6/4/13 in Ft Lauderdale .... just one of many i$$ues that warrant management attention !!!!
