    IHI: Medical Devices Make a Momentum Comeback [view article]
    If you want to work for a company that will F you over, choose Covidien! A true nightmare company!

    The imaging devision is terrible! There is not a person in the company not out looking for a new job. They raised the quotas on the sales force during the year twice. Once they raised it 4 months before the FDA approval for the generic heart agent. Now they've been delayed by the FDA for at least two months. Guess what? They have elected not to adjust the quotas. Every sales person in the entire company is so mad! I worked for them for over twenty years. It used to be a great job. Now it is below entry level medical sales. Most reps are in the 60-80 K range including bonus which is non-existent. They lie and tell you you'll make 125-200. It's all lies. It's the last place anyone in medical sales should consider.

    The executives, by the way, are making money hand over fist. The stock is going through the roof because wall street sees great margins and low cost of doing business. They are raping their sales force. Most of my friends have not had a bonus in more than 8 months. They assured everyone quotas will be re-evaluated at the end of the fiscal year. They know they blew it but are unwilling to fix it. It's all about wall street and the stock. They assured the sales people they would be treated fairly months from now whenever they get around to it. Guess they are too busy spending all their bonus $$$$ as they rape the sales force.

    The may be exiting commodities, but only as a trade. Nothing happens to the need for oil, or gas. And, I think gold is on a holiday and goes to 800 before a recovery to new highs. The downers on demand destruction are just some books talking, shorts, and that will end badly for those who get sucked in. As usual good. Reply

    "[Mark Yusko states] the top holding for many of these funds on their 13F is likely not their best idea, but rather was their best idea and has simply appreciated the most."

    That makes sense due to time lag of the filing coupled with the fact that cream (over time) rises to the top -- the biggest exposures ought to be the ones that has "legs" to run (Mastercard is a good example). In contrast, gunslingers are typically the types that place huge bets at the outset as opposed to building up a position over time.
