It's an artificial heart, for goodness sake, the only one on the US market for the next 23 years. What more do you need to know?

After hours Press Release admits their heart pumps are defective and can be lethal.
Already 5 recipients are dead.
Lost 50% already in after market trading (and it may actually rebound and kill my score, but I make this pick in the interest of community intelligence)
http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idINBNG39608320081024?rpc=44

This is one short that is a real tragedy and shouldn't be made light of.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by this.

Please no jokes or flippant comments :-(

This company is a lottery ticket but it's priced like the drawing is already complete. Institutions disposed 3% of their holdings last quarter; insiders acquiring (non open market) and doing same. Why bother with this?

Increasing medicare coverage that will allow more hospitals to implant the device, improved new product on the verge of approval, best in class.

BTT and DT market have tremendous potential. Will shoot up probably beginning July 2007. Strong potential for a takeover by another company. WIll see $50+ by the end of 2007, if not taken over earlier at a hefty premium.
