New poster, watched this board for years; played with these stocks for longer. 33 year of medical equipment experience, on Development and QA sides. Degrees in Biomedical Electronics, Computer Systems, Computer Science, and MS/OPM. Finally decided to become part of the conversation instead of always just eavesdropping.
Background: Bought TITXF at .44 proudly; got more at 1.80 (not so proud of that purchase at the moment but I still believe it will also be profitable) and doubled down (tripled, really) in the mid 60's. 70K plus that could have gone toward my kids' college bills, but if this works out, I can pay off their loans instead. But I bought a pile of ISRG at 11.65 in a 401K (based on a tip from my wife who now has 30 years of OR experience) so I'm happy with robotics results overall... and I'm still confident in Titan's direction because I have a decade until retirement so I can afford to be patient. Hopefully the two robotic companies will be a grand foundation for my "Golden" years. Pun intended... and on that topic...
Jack is most commonly a nickname for John. Anyone who thought to search on John Golden and Ximedica will find a Northeastern ME student who did a co-op for Ximedica ending in 2013, making him an ideal candidate for full time employment now that he is done with school. He did an earlier stint as a Shop Assistant. Check it out for yourself (GrabCAD and LinkedIn). Looks like a bright, talented young guy with a great future in robotics. So then, decide how important this "critical link" is to this program at the age of what, 24? 25? Are we prone to over-reaction on this board? Desperation? Just a thought. He might not be the smoking gun in the Verb conspiracy theory. Probably just a young go-getter who found a career opportunity in his field of interest.
But I invite all to do their own searches and their own DD. Personally, not a fan of blatant opining; prefer facts when available. If I need a cheerleader, I'll buy a "Go Titan" t-shirt for my wife. I don't check out this board for the pep talks, but there is also a lot of useful info here to pursue. I understand real facts are not always available, and I appreciate any tips I can further investigate on my own. When I read "big move in PPS next week," I think a palm reader has a better basis for such an opinion. Anyone who can accurately predict that would already be too rich to need to waste their time on these message boards. Ludicrous opinions discredit your input. People, please, let us act as a responsible, sensible team and help each other out.
BTW... Faster incisions means more risk of accidental "over-incision." A concern to any prudent FDA auditor (I've been through a few device audits - some of these folks are quite insightful with solid backgrounds in medical device development). As a QA guy myself, I am prone to skepticism and I need to explore the downsides of everything. Personally, I believe more in the upside than the downside for Titan. But with my fingers crossed. I'm trying to avoid the Conspiracy Theories (JnJ/Verb etc.) while hoping that if it's true, this will still turn a fair profit for us.
I'm truly curious if the conference call will provide useful information.
I honestly don't plan to contribute a lot here (I apologize for the length of this, my inaugural posting) but if I discover anything I feel is pertinent and well-grounded, I will happily share because I think it is to everyone's mutual benefit, and if it helps everyone on this board, it helps me as well, now being a member of sorts.
Be Well and Be Reasonable!
