Titan Medical Inc (TMDIF)

Sure, its quite simple, I would like to see Titan get bought - in order to get bought they need a buyer. JnJ is a company thrown around quite a bit on the board as a potential buyer but having more than one buyer helps drive the price up. Medtronic/Covidien could be another potential buyer but they weren't going to do anything until the merger of the 2 companies is finalized. If the Irish court approves it on Jan 29, the deal is done and Medtronic can begin to focus on moving forward and how they want to position themselves in the healthcare market.

IMO, now medtronic (and any other company interested in Robotic surgery, ISRG, Stryker, Olympus, etc, etc, etc) needs to identify how to capitalize on robust surgical robotics market growth that is currently taking place. If you saw ISRG's info yesterday, robotic procedures have increase 10% and expected to continue to grow at that pace - so more procedures are being done robotically and only ISRG is reaping the benefit.

Then if Titan can hit the Q1 milestone, get design freeze at that point it is seeing who will pay the most for Titan.
