sold ISRG L $131.50 , popped up even further to $133 ....that was simply just --->WILD!!

can you imagine being short ISRG into eps and getting your butt shaken real good?

that's why I always like to wait and hope for a huge pop to bop , like leading a wild duck out on the marsh in the cold morn ....

could have taken it short there at $134 top too , but wow , need a little rest , trading also slowing down here too on ISRG ...as they digest the news ...

ISRG lowered guidance , and high expectations sunk it, but getting a little bounce here off $110 -->

ISRG Intuitive Surgical on conference call -Update-

Says Q4 demand for Da Vinci systems exceeded their expectations at 40 units sold. Pricing remains steady, with ASPs fluctuating -- reflecting regional mix. Gross margin of 67.4% was 1.5 points higher YoY, but sequentially lower... Co sees FY06 revs up 25-35% (roughly $284-307 mln) vs $308.53 mln Reuters consensus. Sees Q1 revs sequentially lower (as expected), and expects delays in purchasing orders. Expects gross margins to decrease in the near-term; sees GMs of 64-65% in Q1, and rising into high-60s at the end of the year... Q&A is going on now.
