Baxter was a shining star for me until April.... I'm going to pick some up in real life now that its dropped down to 40.... Does the market realize this is a Medical Technology conglomerate? And I know they cited the new Health Care Reform as an excuse as to why their revenues will be lower, but I don't get this. If EVERYONE get's insurance now, how does that negatively impact a medical technology supplier? Further, with Health Information Technology being one of the components of the required changes to healthcare, why not jump on that? Maybe the problem is management? Any thoughts? Any reason not to start nibbling at $40 a share?

product recalls are hindering it and a majority of international revenue is hurting because of the rising us dollar and the euro is flailing.

personally I think it may be a great opportunity to be buying now that its reached its 52 week low.
