Volcano (Nasdaq: VOLC): Could The Stock Erupt Soon?

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:03:56 GMT

I have spent the past couple of months pursuing a theme that I think makes a lot of sense. I believe that medical device companies that sell a high amount of consumables (relative to capital equipment) will continue to grow strongly despite some recent inventory destocking that may have hurt short-term sales performance.

Why should anyone be surprised? despite the ugly and unfortunate continuation of pork spending even in these dire economic times, the fact remains that a record amount of economic stimulus has been and will be injected into our beleaguered economy. This will have a supporting and eventually growth stimulative effect. The markets will recover before the economy so don't wait for your neighbor get their job back before you buy back in. Now is the time. This morning's stats and commentary below.[More...]
