hips and knees. A couple of trends happening here.
1 - Boomers are getting older, and many will need new joints.
2 - The population is getting fatter. Weight is hard on joints
3 - Running is becoming more popular to fight weight gain, this is especially hard on joints.

Slow and steady wins the race; SYK may not burn any barns, but its positioned to take advantage of a huge long-term trend in the medical field. People are replacing their hips, knees and other joints regularly now with better surgical techniques and longer life-spans, our bodies just were not built for the long-term abuse we subject them to and SYK will rake in profits as long as there are humans on this planet. I've been an avid investor in this company for decades.

Best price since last year on this Blue Chip stock. Having just acquired Orthovita they will bounce back to $65 or higher per share I expect. Aging boomer generation will create greater demand in this sector overall and Stryker is poised to pop. High Outperform ratio makes this a no brainier at this price.
Recs
Increased earnings estimates. Directors and officers are accumulating shares for above price today. Oversold. Seems like a good entry point.

Well positioned as the economy recovers. Leader in their industry.

A leader in ortho products, should outperform as long as the quality of the products stand the test of a lifetime.
