Article for release

Are longs nervous?

Huge news coming?

I think the prediction of 40 cent swing today was right.

stick a fork in it

leave it to the canucks, sorry for this last bit o news

Titan looks like a piggy bank these days, wait or approval to buy it.

If there was any interest in Sport today would be the day..We will know for certain tomorrow...

Million dollar question, stay tuned.

They said it will rival Da Vinci SP. I don't recall they claim MDT's new robot is SP.

livendi don't be too upset if TMDI is not acquired..

Heading out to buy a bunch of popcorn. Getting ready for the BIG day.

75% of 510k applications get denied first time out, per greenlight guru

exactly Willie

If it was going to be TDMI wouldn't the stock price be higher? The analyst meeting is no secret and this is a public company that has been around along time.

Sell on the news

Don't you all think if we were in Medtronics sights today would the share price would have gone bigly high...but it didn't.. See off Tuesday/Wednesday? Have a safe and happy weekend

Sell on the news flippers..

If it turns out not to be Titan turn that frown upside down flippers.

Last update from Medtronic says Robot Assisted Technology doesn't mention SP.

Medtronic's News
That robot—expected to launch outside the U.S. first and within the next nine months of the company’s 2020 fiscal year...…... Using both as a starting point, the company plans to bring computer-guided surgery and planning tools to other medical specialties over the next decade.

From Exact Website
The company said the funds will mainly be used for the launch and operation of seven Centers of Excellence in the US, Europe, and Israel, where the company expects that hundreds of clinical procedures will be conducted within the next 12 months with the XACT robotic navigation and steering system.
"The CE Mark approval is a key achievement for XACT and an important milestone towards entering the European market," Chen Levin, CEO of XACT Robotics, said in a release. "In parallel, the closing of our latest financial round will enable us to initiate the launch of our robotics system next year, while continuing to develop additional features for the system. Our Center of Excellence in Hadassah Medical Center is the first of seven centers that we plan to launch by the end of this year in leading medical centers in the US, Europe and Israel. The goal of these centers is to gain additional clinical experience and to serve as the primary training centers towards the full product launch of the XACT system planned for 2019."
