This report is long overdue, but I will post it anyway since all of my past year's picks and results have been made public...

Filed under: Major movement, Earnings reports, Good news, Market matters, Getting started, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Intuitive Surgical Inc (ISRG), Best Stocks for 2009  Anybody reading Bloggingstocks.com for any length of time will know that I have been following Intuitive Surgical, Inc.

Yesterday the company reported strong top and bottom line growth, with profits of $1.62 per share, about 37 cents ahead of analyst estimates, and its revenue of $260.6 million was $30.6 million greater than expected. Intuitive also raised its forecast for procedures per...

(closed on 07/02/09)
Filed under: Major movement, Rants and raves, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Intuitive Surgical Inc (ISRG)  It is not possible to follow all stocks or companies with equal intensity, focus, or depth of knowledge. One that I have followed for over ten years is Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG).
I originally bought in at the very bottom, about $7.70 and last year sold about 20% of our position for $192. The stock had reached an all time high about 18 months ago just shy of $360, so my timing was far from ideal, but I was influenced by other factors. In this case a real estate transaction.

For the time being highly leveraged debt obligations seem to have come to an end. Large independent investment banks may have come to an end for now. The idea of a balanced budget may have come to an end a long time ago...

The year has started off with a lot of continued turbulence. We have a new president, Barack Obama, who will boldly lead us where no man has gone before -- two trillion further in debt, most likely.

I didn't think so. Not unless you were shorting the market, and in particular financials. I got clobbered with everyone else. There were not many places to hide. Picking winners was like guessing where each piece of debris would land after the tornado moved through town.
