    Mir I Am Met Zinger,
    More "pearls" of wisdom from the great "Reverend Jim Bob Cramer"?
    The utter shallowness is overwhelming.

    ISRG... I bought this one the 1st time @$41 when I awoke in the hospital from my "meeting" with da Vinci!...
    This system is the future of surgery... and Intuitive owns this market... after the initial million dollar plus cost of the equipment, each surgery requires an expense of over $1,500 in renewables... thus an ongoing repeat business... Hospital judge operating rooms in "15 minute slices "... my prostate surgery was almost 1 hr faster than open surgery, and I was home the next day, 2-3 days faster that open methods. Minimal discomfort, faster overall recovery.

    At $95 Cramer said Sell, Sell, Sell - So at $228 Cramer says it can work? Folks, it's time to take profits!
