Fredrick Moll is the new man at the top. His track record with Origin Medsytems --- purchased within three years by Eli Lilly and spun off as Guidant--- and Intuitive Surgical ---up a cool 500% since its IPO in 2000---indicate to me the company is on the move. I think this stock is worth a hard look for the second half of 2007 and 2008.

I am also a physician and own ISRG since 1999 with big profits. But concering HNSN I am less optimistic that most of the contributors here. The sole fact, that Moll is running HNSN is no guarantee of success. They have a formidable competitor STXS which is safer, more automated, more versatile and cheaper if you consider total operational cost. STXS has now over 80 installed systems in top institutions of the world. Hundreds more are in the buying pipeline. STXS has also dozens of scientific publications. Many cardiologists think that this is the standard for the future for interventional cardiology and angiology. HNSN has only a handful of installations and almost no publications. I do not see how they can overcome this lag behind STXS. L.F.
