I sure hope you're right. I bought in May intending to be a long with every penny I could muster from a single parents budget. Now, I'm getting nervous. This is my first shot at investing so I have a lot to learn. I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into a bad lesson learned. Keep the positive conversation flowing. I need the encouragement.

I think there's alot to be said there, E40. Placing a value on LTC is almost as difficult as placing a value on life itself.

As has been mentioned, insurance companies alone, the world over, will benefit immeasurably.

Lessee: Insurance companies will save on;

Lost pay from job related accidents, because of quicker healing time.

Shorter hospital stays (MAJOR savings there!)

Shorter operating room costs (!!!).

Lower surgeon costs (since LTC cuts surgery time down)(!!!x2).

Savings from less blood transfusions.

Savings from less return visits (since LTC requires less follow up visits like removal of sutures).

...to name a few.

Just these 6 listed areas of savings alone equate to billions of dollars per year, world wide. Putting a price on the value of something that saves that much money is practically impossible.

Toss in the phenominal increase in success of tubal ligations, the increased success rate of lung resections as well as all other procedures, the value of scarless surgery, and LTC becomes bigger than the mind can fathom.

Then...toss in the value of the CO2 separation technology and the Ukraine gas deal potentials and well...I better shut up or I'll never be able to load up on all the cheapies I want! LOL
