I can't say I'm too surprised by the fall in PPS. I suspect the bleeding will continue until at least the end of the year so I'm holding onto some dry powder until the .28 mark.
A lot happened this year for CTUM. Unfortunately, none of it translates into revenue for 2006, which was a hope DR held out with Chastang at the beginning of the year. It didn't happen, so it's understandable that short-sighted people bail out and get ready for next year's longshot. I trade some positions, but CTUM has a long, long way go up before I'd consider selling a single share.
I'm more interested in knowing if LTC can be merged with DaVinci or other cyber-sugical platform. The days of the surgeon touching the actual patient are numbered- LTC has a role to play in the future of surgery, hopefully as part of the next generation of high-tech operating rooms.
