Expensive equipment that healthcare cannot afford. Pricing and profits will come down with competition.

Look I love the Da Vinci technology and ISRG has done a great job with it, but this stock is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely volatile. I think it is a buy at $150 and below. I think a stock price of $150 would represent the true value of the business.

ISRG looks very overbought right now. This is a great company, but the numbers, even optimistic ones, do not support the valuation.

Any man who is willing to put money into this company at this price is surely to underperform the market. The great results of this company have already been priced in.

Up too fast. Worst part of hospital spending cuts have yet to hit. Otherwise I'm a fan.

With discretionary income being squeezed by high oil and food prices will people be willing to plunk down big bucks for cosmetic surgeries? I have to bet against it for the short term. If sales decrease by any significant % (15-20%) the shares will have to fall to a more reasonable valuation. March 2009 could see stock at $200. My only concern-- the wealthy are unaffected by rising costs and the poor don't understand the effects on their budget until after they have the procedure.

Insider sale. There are other sectors where more money can be made.

The Robot does not offer significant enough advantage (that of better dexterity and 3D optics) over standard laparoscopic or thoracoscopic instruments to justify its steep costs. It's major drawback is a lack of tactile feedback and this takes away from its benefits. I don't see it becoming a standard of care until they make smaller and less expensive products (which would severely cut into margins). I'm extremely skeptical it will sustain a growth rate or its margins to justify the stock price.

This one is heading down. It has been bought up on hype and the correction is coming. Look to pick up around 285 or so

Way too overpriced. Hospitals will not have the kind of coin to foot the bill for this piece of equipment. It is a great technology but very difficult to afford.
