Stryker manufactures medical devices used in cardiovascular surgery, and implantable devices for cardiac regulation. Solid financials, selling at a discount, excellent appreciation potential. Consumable product and an aging population give a large market.

Good company; continuously strives for 20% growth each year; Strong managment; strong niche with its implants since baby boomers are staying active longer.

As Americans get more obese the need for more knee/hip replacements will also grow along with them.

As baby boomers age they will demand the products that SYK sells for their medical care.

Strong company in a growing market. Financial strength and operational capability makes a P/E of 28 a very reasonable price. I expect core competencies in areas like hip replacement components to drive strong, profitable growth over the next 4 years and beyond as baby boomers continue to age.

Stryker manufactures and markets various implants and medical devices.

A huge slug of the shares are still owned by the Stryker family, although they do sell them from time to time.

This company should thrive as the baby boomers age actively.
