NUVA(10/13/08 qtly growth 61%
The most innovative company and the one that's growing the most rapidly in the minimally invasive spine surgery space. Fourth or Fifth largest company in the space. We are coming up to the North American Spine Society meeting in October to be held in Toronto this year and I expect NuVasive will introduce four or five new products, as they do every year. Their revenues are really growing at a phenomenal rate; right now they have 40% year-over-year kind of growth.
CONCLUSION:WITH SPINE INJURIES ON THE INCREASE, AND A CHART OF 5 YEARS OF ACTUAL SPECTACULAR GROWTH FOR NUVA AND IT'S INVESTORS, I BELIEVE 'NUVA' WILL DO WELL FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS FOR ANY INVESTOR!
